I can’t seem to message you, but I want them!!!

It's a 1996 Fender Jazz Bass MIM with stock pickups. Pretty heavy bridge, don't know the model. Maple neck with ebanol fingerboard. Don't know about the body. Strings are usually Daddario Chromes. It has thousands of hours of play time no doubt.

Hey y'all, need an opinion. So as a teenager, I did a really messy, inconsistent, un-subtle routing job on my 1996 Fender Jazz. I shortly after replaced the neck with a fretless neck. Now the bass plays great, but sometimes seems kinda...weak. Little in the way of lows, and treble, actually...

Hey guys. So I repair instruments, but I'm not super strong with electronics. I have this customer who soldered everything using acid core solder. The neck bridge pickup has stopped working fairly suddenly, with a weak signal. So, this solder has been on there for years, so it's probably...

I'm mainly a band instrument repairman, but have a great deal of experience with guitar related repairs, aside from electronics. I have a customer's Scheter Diamond Series 4 string. No real model I can find indicated, but it has the Batman Logos. It has no signal, and the issue is almost...

thanks for the replies guys! Keep em coming. And I had considered the Gary Willis, but I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with Ibanez. Again, I’m a repair guy, but there are things that I shouldn’t have to repair on a new instrument. I’ve had stripped truss rod nuts, shorting out volume knobs...

I'm wanting a new bass. I'm debating getting this in either the 5 or 6 string version. I have no experience with these. Having a fingerboard that is well setup for low action is CRUCIAL for me. I'm a technical player and love easy playability and the muah that comes from a low action fretless...

Hey y'all, So, I love 6 string bass. I like to use the high 6 for chords. I have a problem. The high C tends to get dented on the frets from playing, and therefore buzzy, dead, and wrecked before the rest of the set is dead. Does anyone else have this issue?
