I just checked, and Allparts makes one, and they want $669 for it (!!!) Wow. Probably best to just buy a Bronco and steal the neck.

Don't know if you're still active, but does anybody know what the serial number of the 2nd bass (the 62) is? There's a 62 in my family bought from a pawn shop on the East Coast in the late 60s I've always wondered about. It got stripped by my brother, because it was "really scratched up" but...

Will a Cyberbass work with a Yamaha MU80 module? Will it track well?

I had a curved back Peavey Unity and never saw the point of it and it just felt uncomfortable to me, lol.

Going from a class D amp to an all-tube amp will be difficult unless you are a bodybuilder or maybe just a masochist.

It's a bit underpowered. Seems to like 15" speakers for some reason. Was not very impressive through a cab with 10s.

What amp did you choose? I recently bought a PF-350 and it sounds good, but it not as loud as I hoped. It is loud through my 2x15 cab though. It hilariously has a gap in the top of it where picks will fall down inside it if you leave them lying on top, lol! You have to take the whole chassis...

Like this.

Claw to hold jack on strings for upright bass pickup. Where can I buy one? I've already got the piezo pickup and jack. Any tips appreciated. I don't need to buy the whole thing, and shouldn't cost more than $5-10 in my opinion. It's just a bent piece of metal.

I tried it just using myself as the contact spray blower. It worked great, probably a spider web behind the front panel. Also the tube had fallen out during shipping which was an easy fix fortunately.

Very old thread I see, but I recently bought a Carvin R600 head that was listed as "cutting out." I got it and my eagle eye saw the tube had fallen out of its socket. Plugged it in and it worked great, BUT it had a habit of not working if I hadn't used it for a while. And when it did work...

What's the post size? Could they be used as replacement for old "curley" Rickenback bass tuners pre 74? They make a few different styles, but this is the classic Fender version:

Could these tuners make a reasonable replacement for pre-74 Rickenbacker 4001s? There is no reasonable replacement made for them, except one very cheap WD set that doesn't look very good. The screw holes don't even line up.

Thanks, I just bought a 76 PBass and "Armenia" is stamped inside. Very obviously NOT a copy. Must be a Fender employee.

I agree. I just bought one, and it's got "Armenia" stamped in it too, and it's very obviously NOT a copy. Somebody with that name assembled it probably.
