Sorry to bump this old thread, but my Global 495B is one of the best basses I own. Nice mahogany neck with fantastic sounding pickups. I recently replaced the tuners with hipshot licensed lollipop tuners and a high mass 17mm spacing bridge and this thing is nicer than all of the Gibson EB-3...

I recently acquired a 1971 Fender Musicmaster bass neck and body that had been heavily modded. A previous owner routed a Musicman pickup at the bridge and added a tele style output jack on the side of the guitar. My plan is to wire a Kluson Musicmaster pickup for the bridge and a dual rail...

I’ve been using pizzicato E and A strings for years along with Chorda D and G or cheap Indian gut D and G strings. I love them and think they are worth the money. They don’t last all that long, maybe 18 months but I play 4 hour gigs and lots of sessions on the regular. They also bow well.

I have two maple Precision Bass necks that I would like to strip the polyurethane off and re-finish in nitrocellulose. One is an 80’s aftermarket neck that was poorly finished in poly and one is a newer 50’s Vintera ii neck. I have read that a heat gun and a scraper is an effective solution...
