    1962 Fender Jazz Bass (barn find, in my closet for 40 years) =it's Alive!

    I know that feeling. Back in the 90s I had to sell my 57 P Bass. Wish I had it now

    Jazz Shielding Pictorial (Big Images Warning)

    Great info.Thanks. I wanted to ask if you know about the cavity in my MIJ Marcus Miller bass? I opened it up and it has a black smooth finish inside. Like plastic almost. Is that shielding ? Should I put copper over that? Thanks

    Patchouli oil for fretboards?

    Well I've always liked it. But put a couple drops in my acoustic bass case and pretty much regret it. And much as I like it with it closed up it really smells when I open it up

    Yesterday when I was looking around on this site, I happened across some of y'all's projects. Basses that y'all had made. Lots of beautiful work now I can't find it. Where can I go to look at these projects having trouble navigating the spot

    Greetings. I'm new to talk Bass and new to working on guitars. I know you guys build basses but I thought I would ask after pulling the Frets out of the neck of the guitar and finishing it I find that I have to really lower the bridge get any kind of low action and it's not that low friend...
