bassplayer- so youre saying that the necks a rogue?..it may be, but i dont see a headstock without a logo, or ay color other than black...thanks anyway. Jedi- thanks for bringing that up. I'm sure ill notice if the intonations all wrecked to heck, or were you talking about some other issue im...

That was my first impression since the body shape, and flashy top look very ibanez. The thing that's throwing me a bit is that it doesnt have that little diagonal cut out where the neck joins the body. That, and the bridge looks a little cheap to be a soundgear. Maybe they were different several...

1. you like that?!..youre a sick man. Only a sick, sick man digs cornflower blue and magenta...well, youre either sick or a product of the 80's...jk. 2. I agree with the backup bass part..you lost me at flats though..stainless steel roundwounds..por vida.

Yeah, the seller sent them to my phone. I havent had a chance to look at it in person yet. I just really dont wanna be stuck with some mismatched frankenbass..unless I was creator haha..I guess I can always sand and paint the hideous blue headstock, assuming the neck fits well..I think thats a...

Hi, I can get my hands on this for under $100. The problem is..i have no idea what it is. It has a seymour duncan in the bridge, and a neck from another bass. My first thought was that it was an ibanez from the finish. Also I'm not 100% sure if thats an active/passive switch or some kind of...

well then you got me...unless youre overlooking something obvious like old strings, which i doubt from the great lengths youve gone to in order cut through.. also something that might help, that i have no experience with is hexwound strings. if youre not already using stainless steel rounds...

what about just EQing a healthy amount of mid, and some more treble into your set up?.maybe a sansamp bass driver? No need to buy a whole new bass if youre just recording with it. Also, I'd talk to friends and see about borrowing something more "modern"...just some ideas..

Well, im actually fairly close to where this bass is so shipping would be free. I think Im just digging it because SX's LOOK vintage but this IS vintage haha..Its probably the same reason I find myself drawn to an electra X630N I saw on craigslist. Its fretless. Does anybody know if these were...

So, Im in the market for a new bass, and was considering the SX P bass models when i ran across this little number. Thoughts? does anybody have experience with both...

Is your action too high?

First, I know that this a bass forum, but I have a quick question about an acoustic guitar repair, and I'm hoping you could help me out. I have an old ovation that has a crack in the front, it doesnt effect the playablity, but it bugs the heck out of me. I'm wondering if its possible for me...

Generally I do what another poster advised, and rest my thumb on either the E or A and rake the 2 or 3 strings upward with my index finger. Alternating index middle and ring depending on how long im playing the chords. IMO, the flavor you get from the strum pattern on a guitar isnt as important...

Well, the goth epiphone had black controls, and a different symbol on the pickguard. This has the t-bird and chrome controls. At a glance I'd give him credit for a gibson, and you'd end up paying really close to 2k with taxes..and strap locks haha. So what was the big deal?

Hey thanks! I tried to help someone out, and got helped out myself. I edited it, and was about to erase it,because I wasnt 100% sure. Guess my second guessing was warranted.

How do you know if your nut is the cause of a buzzing issue? Is a nut replacement something I could do on my own, like replacing a bridge, or would I need to take it in? For those of who have had this done how much did it run you? The buzz doesnt kill any of my notes, but they sound almost...
