    Warrior won't do it .... help finding someone else?

    BTW, this is a neck-thru bass, so replacing the neck is not an option.

    Warrior won't do it .... help finding someone else?

    I was told by my bass tech guy that the rods were just spinning loose. Lemme try myself.

    Warrior won't do it .... help finding someone else?

    I'm looking for answers for the neck, because I want to sell it. Tough to sell a bass with truss rods that don't work.

    Back bowed, with the strings just barely about the fingerboard.

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the fact that both rods are spinning loose is kinda odd. I understand someone will have to remove the fingerboard to fix this. I have a guy who does bass electronics, but not woodwork. Any luthiers you can recommend?

    Warrior won't do it .... help finding someone else?

    I have a five-string fretless Warrior bass, with two truss rods. Both rods are loose and won't impart pressure any more. I contacted Warrior to see if I could get it fixed.

    The "Transparency Myth" vs. Mix-Ready Tone (Cali76, SansAmp BDDI)

    A drummer rants about guitarists….

    In nearly every band I've ever been in, the guitarist was the weakest link (while believing themselves to be great). Everybody reads - except the guitarist. Everybody learns things quickly - except the guitarist. Everybody keeps their solos tight and crisp - except for the guitarist, who has...

    Advice needed on estimating value

    Well, I agree that "most people" would consider a '73 P bass a vintage piece. I don't, because there is nothing remarkable about it. Same with a '73 Jazz. The mid-seventies weren't exactly great days QE-wise for Fender (and Gibson, for that matter). I had a '73 Strat that I was delighted to sell...

    Advice needed on estimating value

    I’m glad you agreed to buy it. Cash or Venmo?

    Advice needed on estimating value

    Define “vintage”. If it’s a ‘73 P bass, that’s not vintage, that’s just old. And I have one.

    Grateful Dead - why so polarizing?

    Apparently no one is gonna post the joke, so I will. What did the Deadhead say when he stopped smoking pot? "This band sucks!"

    The problem with practicing in all 12 keys

    Once I played with a woman who had songs in the Real Book v2 and 3. She decided to go through all 12 keys for St. Tropez. My head is still dizzy.
