OK, I'm very new to bass, so I don't know if this problem is normal or not: on the D string, I get some pretty irritating buzz on the 7th fret and 14th fret... and no others. There is no 7th fret buzz on the other three strings (well a TINY bit on the A, but that's it). Is this as unusual as I...

I recently bought my first ever bass (MIK Squier P bass) and I have NO idea what kind of pup is in it. When looking VERY closely I think I can see "Ecc" in a sort of fancy written script, but the rest is COMPLETELY faded away. Any guesses?

Hi everyone, new guy signing on. I just bought my first-ever bass about a week ago; a 1989 MIK Squier P bass; not exactly Rick-like in status, but it works for me. I've played guitar on and off for more than 20 years (REALLY rusty right now) and I just decided to give the bass a try; no gigging...
