    Used market dead as a door nail?

    I just sold my 2024 blonde ric for 1285 bucks, trying to raise enough for this '59 LP custom shop. For some reason nobody likes my Firefly Frankenbacker with 4003 pickup in front and EB-0 pickup in the bridge.

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    OMG, I thought I was making a joke, but accidentally made a killer sounding and playing new bass out of a firefly Rickenfaker. 4003 Ric neck pickup with .047 cap, Artec EB0 with .033 sprague orangedrop cap in the bridge position (moved to taste) I ran my progress and state of joyous...

    Show us your bass knobs!

    No, he gave me the knobs.... I thought that that was what we were talking about, lol. Just normal wear and tear on the bass. I was trying to show people that I can do windmills faster than Pete Townsend and the whole thing flew apart. I fixed my one of only three Pentabuzzes in the world that...

    In need of dopamine. Show us your #1 bass.

    Just got my hands on the Bergundyglo Ric. It was advertised as a '79, but the jack plate dates to '77. Haven't checked the pots yet, 'cause I can't set it down for longer than a couple of minutes. The blondes are getting jealous.

    Eden WT-550, maintenance advice?

    I'm thinking about opening up my EDEN WT800 and trying to find what's causing the constant background noise. I am partially blind. How can I spot a cold solder joint?
