    ‘Fame’ brand basses?

    Sorry for the unhelpful answer but I also considered getting those as I live in Germany. However, I could never find out if the neck pocket can fit a fender neck without being altered, if you find out, can you update this post?

    Looks great! Are the dimensions of the neck pocket the same as a fender neck? Did you have to shim or sand the neck pocket to fit it?

    Hello everyone :). Has anybody tried to fit a fender neck on a HB bass? Does it work easily or does it requires extensive sanding or re-drilling of neck holes? Thinking of getting one of of those shell pink J basses they have to have a body for cheap.

    Help identifying this bass/brand

    Hi guys, another TBer posted this absolutely amazing looking bass in a thread earlier, and I am gassing for this but unable to identify the bass in question. A research on Google with reversed search doesn’t yield good results, so I think the second best place to ask is here :) Any help is...

    Question about Phil Jones Double Four

    Thanks for your answer! I had seen that video and it sure is convincing, but this isn't a whole mix with a vocalist and the sound quality of the recording isn't particularly amazing (plus it can be far from reality) which is why I wanted to ask some opinions from here. But yeah basically I am...

    Question about Phil Jones Double Four

    Hi everyone, I am in the market for a practice amp, so I considered getting myself a double four, mostly I am attracted to the size and portability, but I also have an interrogation about this little amp, and seeing as TalkBass is quite fond of PJ amps, I thought to ask here :). Basically...

    Is this Thunderbird on sale near me legit?

    You're right, I think this has reinforced this for me that I would love one of those, but I am gonna look for a non-reverse, they look and sound so great :)

    Is this Thunderbird on sale near me legit?

    Hey everyone, So I just wanted to post a little update because somehow this gained some traction haha. You all convinced me I'd be stupid to not jump on this bass so I had sent the guy an offer to buy it for his asked price yesterday evening before going to sleep. This morning, I received a...

    Thanks for your answer, here is an additional picture, it looks like the bridge was replaced by an aftermarket Babicz I believe:

    Is this Thunderbird on sale near me legit?

    Hi guys, Someone in my area is selling what he claims is a 97’ thunderbird for an outrageously low price (500€). Now I don’t know much about those basses, but I imagine there must be a issue somewhere if the price is that low. Here are some pictures of the animal: Now I ask you guys, do...

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    Hey, A little unfortunate update on my end, still encountered the same issue with the replacement amp I received from Thomann (unwanted overdrive when not dialling any effects or gain, etc - I tried several cables, 3 different basses active and passive, different electrical outlets and compared...

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    I am returning my combo today with Thomann, I will give it one more try with an exchange (hoping they have stock still), but unfortunately if this issue persist on another unit, I will seek a refund.

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    Hi, I believe I am having the same issue, I’ve only been able to use the app at home for now so not pushing it past a low level of volume. I noticed this when using headphones, and I recommend you do the same, despite having gain as low as possible, no effects activated and trying all three amp...
