    Question on new finished "Primo" bass bodies from Allparts

    I got my PRiMO bass body and I will say it was very nice in appearance and finish. The neck pocket was well routed along with the control cavity. After dry fitting the All Parts neck i have decided however to return it due to the body being so much smaller and thinner than a standard Fender...

    Question on new finished "Primo" bass bodies from Allparts

    It seems these PRiMO body's are being sold on other "music store sites" for almost half the price of what Allparts charges. They look pretty suspect like this one. I think it's a scam site so be careful. Then you've got the greedsters on Reverb over charging what Allparts charges?!?!! They're...

    HB7 exploded tuner, Hipshot customer service slow

    I had the exact same issue with my HB7's and the other three sets i have on my other basses are showing signs of the same thing, the mounted blocks are separating from the base plate. Not wanting to waste my time with HS customer service i fixed them myself by grinding down the back of the plate...

    Leo Quan Bass Tuner Keys

    Got a set of these Badass Bass tuners for Mexican p basses in nickel. I got the "Long" tuners as you can choose long or short keys. I will say they dropped in and fit perfectly, look very nice, are durable and very accurate in tuning. There's pretty much no loose play in the gearing. The only...

    I'm selling my Allparts Jazz Bass. I started to build this bass for myself back in January but after finishing it a couple months ago and playing it for a while I realized I prefer the Precision / Jazz Bass pick up tone combination rather than the all Jazz bass pick up tone. I've decided to sell...
