    Is Kalium having issues or is this normal?

    Having the same experience. Been over 3 weeks and no responses to emails to either address. I have ordered from them years ago and didn't have this issue. I also assume it was the move and Namm but they gotta at least write back.

    Fodera Club Part XXVII

    C string sounds great. Slightly warmer and fatter than my other 6 string basses. I'd say that the large pole pieces under the high C do a good job at making the C sound more like the other strings in fullness. I don't imagine it would be a huge diff if it was just the standard two pole pieces...

    Double Bass NS EUB megathread

    Yes, I find the end pin stand far better in that aspect. I own both stands and almost never use the tripod because of what you just stated. My tripod is now just a dock for the endpin. Check it out on their website.

    Questions about purchasing a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass

    Thanks for the tip! I might just have to pick up one of those for the tone options.

    Questions about purchasing a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass

    Thanks all, just picked it up for said price. It plays excellent. No issues with the truss rod at all. Definitely a radically different tone than I'm used to but in a good way. Very organic and dynamic. I have three gigs this weekend to dial it in on.

    Questions about purchasing a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass

    More than I thought was appropriate due to the refinish so I've talked him down to 1250 which sounds fair to me. Probably going to pick it up in a bit.

    Questions about purchasing a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass

    Yup, it sounds great. The pots could use a cleaning but that's it electronically. The neck needs a bit of bow taken out for my tastes but it is not twisted or cracked. I'll test the truss rod tomorrow. Just looking for as much help as possible on determining the originality of this bass and...

    Questions about purchasing a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass

    I was at the local music store (more of a swap shop) and found a refinished 1976 Jazz Bass (the store owner keyed in the serial number on the neck plate into his computer to come up with that date, the owner actually thought it was a 1978). BTW, my interest tone wise has been more in modern...
