Yes, as I said there's some things that can't be changed. Come Together is an excellent example.

I've been playing a long time, never in a band just as a hobby. I play other instruments also such as guitar, drums, keys, etc and like to record my own music. Anyhow, when sitting around playing bass at home, do most of you try and match the bass lines of the original exactly or pretty much...

50 years later the Beatles are still relevant and will probably still be 50 years from today. I don't think you'll see this with any of these manufactured garbage acts of today that appeal to kids. Once these kids are old enough to know better, they'll realize what they've been listening to...

This. Its very good.

Yes, I just cut mine 4" past the peg, bend the last 1/2" to insert into peg. Seems to be about right.

Glad I could help! Now its time for a few beers and a cigar.

This is the worst crap I've ever heard!

This one is easy. About five years ago at the Collingwood flea market in NJ I saw a 1959 Fender Duo-Sonic sitting among a load of garbage for sale on a blanket. It was a little rough and I had a feeling the seller had no idea it has value. I asked how much? The lady said $50. I said sold...

Is this a joke?

I do quite a bit of artwork, either starting with a blank canvas and also using a photo as a template to paint on. The other day decided to work on my vision of a Fender Jazz. Not 100% done yet as I just have the bass isolated on a generic background I painted. Most likely will present it...

I've been a lone wolf since day one, far too many years ago than I care to remember. My interest lately has been getting use to playing a fiver. In fact, I've been playing my Ibanez 505 almost exclusively for the past few months and am happy to say the B string is being used less and less as a...

Have not switched to lighter gauge strings. Had the same strings in there for about 4-5 months and the problem just now started. Nut is not loose, I checked that. I may try the foil as I did that on an old acoustic guitar but for a different reason...to raise the action closer to the nut...

I had this Epiphone viola bass for a while and all of a sudden, when playing the A string open, I'm getting this vibration-buzz type of noise. Its not fret buzz as I checked for that, plus the sound is nothing like a fret buzz. The vibration itself seemed to emit from the tail piece as if it...

Probably the easiest playing bass I own is an Ibanez SR700. The neck is like a dream, especially for those without monster hands. The SR500 is the same bass with a lower grade finish although I also own an SR505, 5 string and I like the raw mahogany look and feel. Can't go wrong with these...
