    Fender Gold Foil Bass….***

    I am no luthier by any means. Takes me hours to do a setup on my basses. I tell you one thing something is not right by a long shot with the placement of that pickup. It needs to move over 4 or more MM's, hell my beater bass has better alignment than that. I reviewed the closeup photo a few...

    Lakland Owners - What Lakland basses do you own? Poll

    Bought my first Lakland used about 6 years ago. Since then I have owned a 44-51 custom and a Hollowbody HB30. Both of these were sold. I still have my beloved 44-02 daily player and my 44-51. Lakland makes some of the best bass guitars I have ever played and I own the imports. I can't...

    Anyone feel uncomfortable playing/owning a really expensive bass

    My Laklands generally stay home. I have a 44-51 and my old reliable 44-02. I love them both. I use my MIJ boxer base for outside endeavors.

    NBD bitter disappointment

    The fretboard is in good shape. You can replace the extremely rusty bridge and keep the old one in case you sell it. The body looks ok. If it plays well I would keep it. Sounds difficult to get shipping to Spain. That's the same headstock as my boxer reissue less the serial number.

    So. Where do we go from here?

    There are top 40 stations they just aren't on the radio any longer. This is one reason that I prize my subscription to SXM. Channels such as Octane bring newer rock music to me; some of it is really good. I could however live without the rap-rock it's just absolute garbage to me. Sorry.

    Best gear I purchased in 2022

    I was limited to a Fender Boxer reissue and my Ampeq little stud. Always wanted another one after high school. I found one in absolute mint condition, so happy with it. Of course, high school was 43 years ago !!!

    On the fence about one of these or a spark grid. I have a Jones Pro 2 but was looking for something with speakers. Questions how does it sound and how does the amp affects sound?

    Is an Acoustic bass worth it

    Ya they are cool. I use bronze phosphate strings on mine. It's a Fender, the cheapest model they sell. 259$ new with built-in turner and output jack. I use it to play with friends who love to play their acoustics.

    Carving initials into bass

    I have a near-perfect Ampeg Little Stud that someone used and an engraver on the neck plate to personalize as theirs. When I removed the ashtray it to was personalized on the inside. I turned the neck plate over no matter.
