    Humidity?

    Thanks guys. Haven't seen much alteration or anything, they stay in tune well. Just wanted to check, and I came up with little on searching. Thank you!

    Humidity?

    Is there an ideal temperature/humidity range for solid body electric guitars and basses? I have some hanging on the walls in my studio, and got a humidity meter and calibrated it. Looks like it's at 72 degrees, 62% humidity in the room, but i'm not sure if it's settled yet, it's only been a...

    Is There a GC Labor Day Sale Tomorrow?

    really? they're not supposed to let you buy fender with that coupon. you got a good deal if so. it's really just a way to get you in the store, in my opinion. sure, there's some stuff you can find that's ok if you do some digging.

    Crap practice amp died, looking to upgrade, 250 budget

    Yeah. Oh, believe me, brands do NOT factor into decisions for me. I'm not a kid, no offense to those who are, and I'm well versed in studio equipment (recording/producing/singing is my main focus) just, obviously haven't gotten very far into the bass as it's a new instrument for me. Yeah...

    Crap practice amp died, looking to upgrade, 250 budget

    The speaker is actually what's blown on the Rumble, so running something else into it isn't an option, first thing I checked. I will peruse the classifieds. Thanks, that review makes me shy away from the b20. if all i had to spend was 100, i guess i'd get something like that, but I have...

    Is that a versatile amp? I haven't ever heard of that brand nor can I find any general reviews. Thanks!

    Crap practice amp died, looking to upgrade, 250 budget

    Hey guys- I'm looking to upgrade my amp! i had a fender rumble 15 that had been working fine for me for almost a year, but it just went pop on me. Since it's a super cheap amp, I'd like to upgrade. (i'm also getting a new Jazz bass, but that's neither here nor there). So, the options...

    Squier Affinity J Bass Mods - Smooth Round, Jazz tone the goal

    Ok, so I got more info on it... VM Squier bass, natural finish, made in 06, IC (Indonesia) serial, and it's got a Gotoh 201 bridge on it. Comes with the original bridge and a gig bag for 250. Good deal? Were the 2006 VM's ok? I've only had experience with a mid 90s bullet guitar and the...

    Thanks guys! I think some of my posts got eaten, but I am going to sell my affinity to my jamming buddy who loves it, and get a VM or CV, whatever I can find used locally. :)

    well one of my buddies has been eyeing it for a while, so if he's willing to buy it i'll probably pick up a VM, there's a nice one on CL in my area right now.

    Squier Affinity J Bass Mods - Smooth Round, Jazz tone the goal

    Ok, so the affinity isn't really a viable mod platform? Good to know. I have had great success with bullet strats, but I seem to remember those being more highly regarded than the affinity models.

    Squier Affinity J Bass Mods - Smooth Round, Jazz tone the goal

    Can you guys recommend some mods for my squier J bass affinity? I've been playing it for a while, and I while it sounds just fine, I'd like to take it a little more in the direction of smooth jazzy round tone than it is now. I figure new pickups and some new strings? Is there a good...
