Both mine do the same, as does my original Bass teacher's....never posed a problem that I can think of.. I have tried to straighten the thumb as others have commented on it, but with no success.. Have had minimal issues with one finger per fret, but I do have large hands.. Not that any of...

Could you name a couple Bassists you see as souly funk, and souly Rock? Have you listened to any of the Chili's earlier works? IMO Flea is funky, and he play play some Larry Graham funk like nobody's business

Yup, sounds like you found a jerk of a teacher. I was lucky, when I found my t\first teacher, he started me with naming parts, and then went on to some serious finger excersizes, then onto playing scales to a beat at which point he said"now you can play bass" that was pretty cool I was...

In my opinion, I'd say the maple fretboard sounds brighter. Best bet is to go to your local shop, find 2 basses exactly the same (settings, strings p'ups etc) except the fret board, plug into the same amp, and test one then the other. I would suggest trying the rosewood first, as I feel you...

+1 People who want the pre-earnie ball Music Mans will pay for them. My buddy got a couple wood finish fretteds, 76 and 78, for $1800-2200 each, and they are not in perfect condition.

He says this one's some kind of custom jobby.. Figures he'll get close to a grand for it, but sounds like that's a stretch.. If I get to it I'll take a couple pics for kicks.

I was talking with the UPS guy that delivers to my shop while Checking out Basses online, and he mentioned that he has this one for sale. Though I can't find any pics or info on them. Anybody got experience with these? I suppose I could ask him to go have a look at it, but I have no idea if I...

I have a Squire Jazz, and it is pretty sweet. Pretty close to the real thing, but not quite there. Bare in mind that being a cheaper version means the factory tolerances will be greater. This means the quality can vary quite drastically from bass to bass. I went to the store and tried a...

Spent 5 hours last night shaking every last thing off the walls and shelves!:bassist:

Just picked up an SVT-AV and 810-AV :hyper: :bassist:

Is there a way to check without pulling and testing them? I heard no weird noises, sound was good and crisp...other than that, not sure how to tell if they are going.

I swear I've tried everything. I've been through the hauling of this rig at 3am, and it does suck... But alas I fear you are correct. My wallet, and back are screwed.

Need a rig, the one I use is totally insufficient for the band I'm playing in right now. I learned to play on an SVT-CL & 810e, and now can find nothing that pleases my ear other than that.. So I found an SvT-VR Used at my local music shop w/ an 810-VR for $2350. Looking around in the used...

Perfect! Thanks for the Ninja-fast reply, Greenboy!:bassist:
