    Fender Vintera Series

    NBD! I've been on the lookout for a honey blonde Vintera, not as big a fan of the seafoam or dakota. Finally found a lightly used 2021 bass online and pulled the trigger. This is my first foray into chunky neck land and I wish I would have made the trip sooner! I've been playing the same '02...

    Squier Precision 5-String Club

    Would love to join the club! I just picked this pretty little thing up tonight, swapped straight up for a 2010 SBMM SUB Ray5. I’m hoping the other guy is as happy with the Ray as I am with this. The Ray5 is solid and a great player, but I didn’t like the active electronics, tight string spacing...

    The Official Ibanez TMB Talman Bass Club

    There’s another thread about this on the forum if you search for it. I believe the consensus was that the pickups by themselves (passive) are pretty weak. Removing the preamp would likely result in needing new pickups.

    The Official Ibanez TMB Talman Bass Club

    Well, looks like I get to retain my member #86 status. I purchased a mustard/maple TMB100 2 weeks ago and finally took the plastic off the pickguard and pickups today. Just wasn't 100% sold, and if you had asked me 48 hours ago I would have said I was returning it. But I finally strung it up...

    Fender Mustang PJ Bass

    I had things pretty balanced the way I wanted when running TIs (I dropped the P and raised the J) and didn’t have this effect. I’ll go back and check the connections at the nut and saddles. I’m thinking it’s the bright new rounds because the ‘chorus’ sound I’m hearing is best described as a...

    Fender Mustang PJ Bass

    I’m trying to fall in love with mine. I got it in 2016 but just haven’t connected with it (I’ve had it posted for sale online for about 6 months). Tonight was the first time playing it in a band situation (I needed to play something light due to back issues), and I really wasn’t that impressed...

    The Official Ibanez TMB Talman Bass Club

    Can I join? Just got back from GC and am now the proud owner of a TMB100M, the mustard yellow/tort version (pic included). So far, best $199 I've ever spent on music gear. I never realized my tiny hands craved a fatter neck - I've only played Fenders since I started over 20 years ago, but I...
