    Washburn B-50RS Rudy Sarzo

    I have one of these since the early 90s. It is actually my first bass. I have had constant humming from it. Even replacing some of the wires and resoldering the joints it still hums. Sorry I don't have any answers. As far as the nut, I have tried a couple of different ones over the years and...

    Should I be ashamed to rock a squire on stage?

    I have always been down on the Squire line of Fenders just bc of the drastic price difference. I just thought that anything that inexpensive could not be good quality.

    Am I too old to get started in this?

    Do it or you will regret it!! I am 42. I got my first bass when I was 14. After having kids in my 20s I sold all my music gear. One of which was a GSR200! I feel your pain. I started playing again about 4 years ago. I have NEVER been very good at it. BUT, last year I started showing my son how...
