    Double Bass First UB Purchase. Guidance?

    Yeah I'm pretty sure its not the place to go for it. I'm willing to travel to check out basses too. Any places on the east coast or mildly inland areas that I should drive to and check out? Thanks.

    Double Bass First UB Purchase. Guidance?

    I live outside of the capital and I am willing to spend somewhere between 2000 and 2500 US Dollars. Theres a place called Chucks nearby. They're somewhat legit but I think I need something a little more specific. Just so I can get an informed answer. Where are the "Newbie Stickies" that I...

    Mexican Jazz Bass Replacement Hardware and/or Pick-Ups?

    Yeah. I'm realizing that for all of the hipshot four string fender a series bridges, they provide only 3 screws. Drilling and putting in new screws isn't an issue for me as long as the fit isn't an issue. I'm definitely just trying to make the bass more "homey". I am looking forward to...

    Mexican Jazz Bass Replacement Hardware and/or Pick-Ups?

    That sounds good. I'll check it out. Is it difficult to figure out how to wire pick-ups? I've literally never looked into changing out parts. I have a general sense of it. PS: MIM is 'Made in Mexico'? Thanks a lot.

    I'm looking into getting my first Double Bass. I have looked around on the internet at differences in body, size, shape, finish, etc., but I really know nothing. I have only had basses rented from public school store rooms. What should I know about construction, wood, laminate, etc.? Any...

    Mexican Jazz Bass Replacement Hardware and/or Pick-Ups?

    GC Memorial Day Blowout .... Yawn...

    No surprise. Guitar Center has been in decline previous to their new ownership. Guitar Center has always been a POS. Support local businesses and special order if you have to.
