Yes!

Not sure if I should post this here or on the GK club forum. I have a Backline 210 that I bought about a year ago. It’s used but very clean and has been great (a little heavy) until last week. I turned it on, heard a faint pop and the clip light came on for a bit, then nothing. I slid the unit...

Hey all, Looking at a 94-95 (according to serial #) Fender Jazz in really good condition. Headstock says Fender Jazz Bass Made in Mexico. In very small lettering it says Squier Series. Is this any different in build specs than just a Squier Jazz Bass? Should price be equivalent to a Squier Jazz...

Bought and sold Use some common sense geesh, sorry about the typo’s. I’m at the beach in the camper and margaritas may be having an impact.

The Sean Conneries, what a great band name!

Can you post a full frontal pic of that!?

Another good point, my desire to tinker more than anything might be driving this.

I completely get that logic. I like to tinker and always have some kind of mechanical or woodworking project going. I do play this bass at church occasionally especially if we’re doing some country/bluegrass and want to try and get a little standup tone. I’d be good spending a couple hundred on...

Thank you!

Any suggestions for PU’s to get that classic P bass tone? I use flatwounds on this bass.

I have a Yamaha RBX250 that I use primarily for practice and it’s stays out on a stand ready to go. It’s an older model, 95 I believe based on serial number. Natural finish and just enough wear to give its some character; previous owner was a pick player and of course no pick guard. Anyway I...

Fairly new bass player (but long time acoustic six string player) and I finally have a real (at least in my limited experience) amp. My Peavey practice amp is good for just that but not when playing with friends. It will take me awhile to figure what all I can do with this.
