#1- James Taylor- Lee Sklar, Jimmy Johnson. Yikes #2- Steely Dan. Good lord.

Thank you!! I’m excited to get it back. Just waiting on delivery of parts.

A little more back story: I initially bought the bass at Sam Ash in Edison, NJ. I had to order it. When it was finally shipped to me, there was a huge dent in the body. I sent it back for a replacement. The replacement was the one with the volume controls that didn’t work. I took it as a sign...

Hi, I gave up. I sent it back. I’m having my cheap SX Jazz-type fretless 5 string set up, retired, and with new pickups. We’ll e how that goes.

Thanks! I’ve been playing for almost 40 years. Many MANY club dates, upwards of 200/year some years as a part time player. Now I want to really dig in. Technique, reading, etc. Bought a few good books, as well as Jeff Berlin’s course #1. Really looking forward to it! Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the helpful response. As I’ve started doing some research, I’ve gotten much of that same information. I’m putting Ernie Ball Slinky steel flats on. Also, my buddy who’s doing my work is working on the neck, just as you mentioned. In addition, Seymour Duncan pickups and Mojotone...

Hey All I have an SX jazz-type 5 string fretless that I bought quite a few years ago. I got it to experiment with fretless, but it just kinda sat. I’m recently retired, and I want to dive in to the fretless world. The SX feels great. I like the weight and solidness. It just doesn’t have that...

Thanks. I’m aware. The bass has to be miswired. But thanks. The volume control DO NOT WORK. I can’t believe it. It’s going back.

Hi Folks- I'm new here, and I'm STUMPED!!! I just took delivery of a new Ibanez SRF700 bass. Unpacked, and plugged in. My 3 volume controls don't seem to work. When I turn the volume all the way down, the volumes stay up! Can I be missing something obvious and stupid? Thanks- Mike
