    Modding my Jazz Bass

    Imo the best "upgrades" you can do are a proper setup, some work on the frets if they have sharp ends, nut and tuners if you have a problem with tuning stability. Everything else is subjective.

    Strings sounding brand new after being taken off and put on again

    It's a great player, maybe the best bass I've ever played.

    I'm definitely gonna be doing this before gigs and recordings for sure.

    Strings sounding brand new after being taken off and put on again

    Well as I said, I want to change them, and will buy a new set of strings when I go to town in the next few days. These strings are rusty and feel like crap (that's why I wanted to put another, non rusty set of old strings that I had laying around), but after being taken off and put on back...

    That's the answer I was looking for, it all makes sense now, thanks a lot! 😄

    Well yes, but still a nice discovery if I need to record something and don't have a set of spares laying around.

    LOL yea, I don't expect them to sound like this forever, and I'm gonna change them as soon as possible. I was just shocked how rusty strings sound so good just after being taken off and put on. This can be a useful trick in a studio I guess.

    Strings sounding brand new after being taken off and put on again

    So, I bought this absolutely incredible Charvel 2B for peanuts. It came with a set of rusty strings from God knows when. I tuned the bass and it sounded great, for a bass with rusty strings. I then wanted to put a set of some old strings that aren't rusty, just as a temporary thing until I go to...

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Bought this beautiful Charvel 2B for 300 Swiss Francs. Well, I'm located in Serbia, and it was in Switzerland, so I had to ask my uncle to buy it for me. He's gonna bring it here in February, can't wait to get my hands on it.

    My cheap, funny studio setup

    Forgot to share my axes... On the left is Jackson RR3, I sold the Dinky in the middle, and on the right is my Jackson JS3 bass. I changed a couple of guitars, but this bass is the only bass that suits me. It has a perfect Jackson neck, similar to guitar necks.

    My cheap, funny studio setup

    I'm a student living in Serbia, on a seriously limited budget. I wanted to share my setup with you, cos it's so funny. I primarily play bass, but picked up a guitar too recently cos I wanted to make music on my own. I had this old Peavey combo amp and bought various pedals to use for both guitar...

    My Kid Just Made This

    Haha, well Yugos were in production till 2008. and our is made in 1998. Slightly different dashboard and nothing else. Yugoslavia spec models had stronger engines than US ones. Several classmates also have Yugo. It became "the car".

    My Kid Just Made This

    Wow, that is nice! My father gifted me our Yugo (yes, but I live in origin country of that "car" so it is still common) as 18th Bday present few months ago and my cousin and I are working on it, we put some nice speakers, bumpers and stuff. Next plan is engine upgrade. Young people definitely...
