    Identify This Bass and Color

    I feel silly asking because I know it's a Fender, but what exact model? And just as importantly, what color? I really like that color a lot.

    Does anyone know what bass this is?

    Sorry, no other pictures are available of it, I already looked.

    Dark Gray & Metallic Purple Charvel/Jackson basses.

    Bump. Any more? These can't be as rare as they seem. =(

    Dark Gray & Metallic Purple Charvel/Jackson basses.

    That's beautiful. I'm not a fan of 5 strings, but that is awesome. I'm not sure if I like dot inlays better or the kind of inlays your bass has. Awesome bass.

    Dark Gray & Metallic Purple Charvel/Jackson basses.

    Does anyone have any photos of dark gray or metallic purple Jackson/Charvel (or similar looking) basses? If so, please post them. I cannot fine much other than these: Dark gray: Invalid Link Removed [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Purple: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Any...

    Stringing a 4 string to BEAD.

    I was talking to Alvaro a while back about this and he mentioned neck relief and widening the E string part of the nut. How is all this done? And is there anything else involved in doing this that I should know? I will be doing this to my Epiphone Thunderbird (noob bass, I know). Is this too...

    Estimated quote?

    I'm not even sure if this is possible or realistic to ask but could someone estimate roughly how much it would cost to have Jackson's custom shop produce an "exact" Charvel 3B in a dark gray (or purple) metallic color? I don't have the exact specs of it so I can't get an exact quote on their...

    A good bass meeting these specs...

    I was hoping to get a new bass, available in black. I would opt for the Charvel but they've been discontinued so long and I ca only find them (in the rare instance that I do) in an unwanted color and heavily used. It might seem that I'm being picky though.

    A good bass meeting these specs...

    Does anyone know of a bass that: - Has black hardware. - Is $500 or under. - Has its neck color the same as its body color (like this: Invalid Link Removed) - Has 4 strings. I'm essentially trying to find the closest thing to a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (in terms of looks) as possible...

    Sound help? - Please help.

    I'm posting this in effects and not amps because I figure the question could involve an effect more so than an amp. I recently bought my first bass amp, an Acoustic B100. It's good so far for average tone, but I cannot find the sound I'm looking for. I'm using an Epiphone Thunderbird as well...

    Bass Amp Sound/Tone Questions

    Howdy. I have never owned a bass amp or played a bass through an amp before, so bear with me if this is stupid. I am planning on ordering an Acoustic-brand bass amp and I'm wondering if I can get the following sounds out of the amp itself without any effects or pedals or any foreign accessory...

    Best/Easiest tuner?

    I'm a total bass noob/beginner. I don't even know what a chord is (but I'm in the process of learning everything). However, when I order my new 4-string and 5-string basses tomorrow, I'd like to order a tuner with them so I can keep them in tune. The only thing is, I don't know how tuners work...

    Which amp?

    I'm shopping for a $200-$300 bass amp that is quality, will last me, and can produce the widest array of tones/frequencies/sound styles. I don't know much about bass amps, all I know is that I want one with a big enough variety of tone/sound options. I one hour want to play with a high bunch of...

    I Need A Small/Big Favor

    Damn, man! Thanks so much. The only thing I need to know is how the best way to play it on a 4-string is. All I have is a 4-string and I know for a fact that it was played on a 4-string in the song (the bassist says he only started experimenting with 5-strings in 2002, and the bass rift is from...
