    Advice / Help Please: MIJ Fender Classic 70's P-Bass refret or replace?

    Yeah, good point(s). In fact, the bass was set up by another tech at the shop, not the plek guy, and it plays really well again. I'm not the most sensitive player so a more experienced hand would probably feel how much it still needs help but at least it can be used while I get more quotes and...

    Advice / Help Please: MIJ Fender Classic 70's P-Bass refret or replace?

    Wow! Sounds like a winner of a build. How cool to have the matching 'mini-me' little brother to that '78 P-Bass. Yeah, I don't know much about short scale basses but I was recently in a conversation with some friends of mine (one is a dealer and the other works at reverb) about how the market...

    Advice / Help Please: MIJ Fender Classic 70's P-Bass refret or replace?

    Thanks GIBrat51and Lo-E. I'm not sure exactly whether the quote included a full re-binding or something like what Lo-E describes. My sense is this shop may not be especially negotiable how the job is done but I'll ask anyway if only just to learn. I do also plan to get a few more quotes...

    Advice / Help Please: MIJ Fender Classic 70's P-Bass refret or replace?

    Hi everyone. This may be a common question but I've done some research and am still unsure whether I've gathered all the factors needed to make a decision. May I please have your advice on whether I should refret or replace my precision bass? When I brought my Japanese Classic 70's P-Bass in...

    For Sale Various Pedals (Bearfoot, Damnation Audio, Source Audio, EHX etc.)etc.)

    Purchased the VT Bass pedal August 3 and haven't heard from ThrewSilver since August 4 when thanked me for the payment and promised shipment. Based on his posts, he seems like a legit dude. I'm guessing his situation went south somehow but he just got banned this morning, so I must not be...
