Well I ain't got that much right now, been down with recovery from ACL reconstruction surgery. I already have SO many basses...

Anyone ever hear of these? Since I started fixing my own guitars and basses, people come to me with the harder problems that they have not fixed. Today my client told me she does not like the bass, it buzzes all over the place and it did not have good tone. I adjust the truss and no more...

Limited to THREE? I have five. Ibanez ATK300FL, Fender MIM Jazz, MusicMan Sterling SUB, JayTurser with DiMarzio Area PJs, and another plan P Bass about to get rebuilt - the Oscar Schmidt....

Well not sure if I ever posted part 1, but here's the write-up. Not being the richest bass player, I got my hands on a JTB-900 in 2001 or 2002 from my cousin who was just starting a business in eBay for musical instruments. It has a solid ash and rosewood body, maple neck and a rosewood...

Ok will do that when I get the DR Red strings...and a new pickup...or should I wait and see how it sounds with the new strings...?

I was in San Diego for a couple of days and decided to check CL for any bass deals. Met the guy and cleaned it up today...cleaned out the 500k pots and polished it, adjusted almost everything but I can't get enough bow into the neck...not sure if I am turning the truss rod correctly... I am...

Ibanez ATK300FL player since 1995. Bass is at the rehearsal studio so I have to wait to get pics.. Bought it since we covered so many fretless tunes from the grunge era back then. Great sound on that Ibanez...
