    Fret Reset

    I hear you. I've had a few of those moments as well. An Iceman 6 string with a twisted neck which affected frets 1 to 3 on the E and A strings I had bought. I didn't hit those areas when trying it out. An Iceman 4 string which was an ergonomic nightmare that, in my haste didn't realise until I...

    Fret Reset

    I know,but, I felt bad for the youngster. I don't need the money, and am just clearing out some space and I'd rather the customer put it to more use then I, and enjoy the bass. I figured legally I was ok, but, I did feel a bit of guilt about it all.

    Fret Reset

    I understand, and my wife was saying basically what you did. I guess I feel that as a seller, I didn't do enough due diligence. If it was an experienced player, I'd probably feel a lot less guilty, but it was a sixteen year old, who only had $400 cdn. the luthier said it was quite a bow, hence...

    Fret Reset

    I just got a hold of the luthier, he said it was a fret dressing, and that the neck had quite a bow. He adjusted the neck, dressed the frets and got it going. I offered the teacher half the repair cost and the luthier told me that should be sufficient. Quite frankly I just wish they had reached...

    Fret Reset

    Thank you for your reply. Would that be what fixed the neck? The term reseat makes sense, especially due to auto spell. I reached out to the luthier, who seems to have a good reputation here in Calgary, so I don't think I'm being scammed, but now I'm wondering what my responsibility is here. The...

    Fret Reset

    Hi folks. First off, i feel like a bit of a user. I've been a member for just over a year if I recall, and have barely engaged the site other then to read posts. Now I'm in a bit of a situation. I just sold a crafted in China 70's Classic Vibe Precision. It was to a 16 year old, with her mother...

    Songs you heard on a classic rock station that you didn’t expect

    Roughly 2 years ago, it was a Foo Fighters song. On Q107 in Calgary. This thread reminded me of an article I read a few months ago.Alan Cross: Sorry Gen X, but the music of your youth is now the new classic rock - National | Globalnews.ca

    Purple Squier, stock finish??

    Auto spell changed the proper squier spelling to the dreaded squire...sorry about that.

    Purple Squier, stock finish??

    Hi, first time poster. Here’s a pic of a squire affinity I owned, but traded away when I bought a fender jazz standard of the same colour a couple of weeks later. It looks more blue from this light, but would look purplish when I moved it a certain way under the light. Midnight blue was the name...
