    Fender Classic 50's P-Bass

    Yesterday I went into a local music shop and the had one of these in Fiesta Red with the gold pick guard... Just wondering if anyone has any experience of living with one? I really enjoyed the sound of it through an SVT-7 Pro which I am purchasing. Any known issues?

    Fender refinish

    Hi Everyone I am in the process of refinishing a P-bass, with a jazz bass neck. I have bought the neck (genuine Fender jazz neck) but want to colour match the headstock. A friend of mine works at a graphic design shop and has offered to print me a plain white Fender decal onto vinyl to...

    Have you ever messed up bad in a gig?

    I never ever mess up at gigs... just sometimes play things differently to how I practice them!

    Don't Bring Your Bass!?

    Think of it this way... at least he didn't tell you not to bring yourself!!! If you are at the stage when you are working with a producer then I'm afraid it's time to man up and be professional. Sorry but thats the truth, spit the dummy when you have made it, but until then use everything as a...

    Is this a near death experience?

    From my experience... it's Behringer so yes... My first amp was a BXL3000A, it lasted 10 practices then the speaker went. I chased down the cause and it was a 200w 4ohm speaker coupled to a 300w 4ohm head... in a sealed combo?! Sent it back to the company I bought it from and got a free...

    The Little Giant 1000 cannot be bridged, it is two seperate 500w 4 ohm outputs.

    Which will be louder?

    Is it possible to rewire the Ashdown 8 ohm cab to run at 4 ohms?

    Which will be louder?

    I have a little giant 1000, which is 2x500w 4ohm amp and 2 8ohm cabs. Which would be louder? Running the cabs into one side(500w 4ohm) so they run at 4ohms producing full 500w or running each 8 ohm cab through the seperate outputs so each is still 8 ohms and doesn't draw all 500, but...

    help needed

    Link doesn't work, but it looks like you have linked me to a Mike Dirnt sig, the bass in question has the single pickup as per the normal '51, not the split coil like the mike dirnt. Also it was an unfinished dark wood, not painted black. I may be wrong on the link as I cannot see the final...

    Yes, as stated above it is a Fender (or at least the correct Fender neck), what I couldn't see was a country of origin. Like I say the price is what raises an eyebrow, and my lack of knowledge made me curious so I am seeking help ;)

    Hi all Popped into a local music shop today just to have a look at their wares and amongst the low cost usual stuff sat (what looked like) a Fender Precision 51, it looked to have an active switch and a different pickup to the one on Fender's site. Also was in a dark natural wood finish with...
