    Am i the only person in the world..

    I think warlocks are one of the ugliest basses ever built, if not the ugliest. I don't think I'm the only one but to each his own I guess. :p Fender type bodies have grown on me. I never thought I'd own a black/maple peavey fury especially since it has a white guard but it looks stunning IMO.

    70's Ric 4001 @ local shop.

    I'm not currently on the market for basses, so that explains my vagueness. But I will revisit the shop and really inspect it and if this bass surprises me, so be it. :) Thanks for the support, guys.

    70's Ric 4001 @ local shop.

    Thank you, I will look into that. Is it possible to re-repair the neck to get rid of this cosmetic flaw?

    70's Ric 4001 @ local shop.

    I don't have a good camera so I don't think taking pics would help much. But it looks pretty okay. it's red (no jetglo or burst of any kind) and the strangest thing I noticed was extra glue between neck and fretboard.

    70's Ric 4001 @ local shop.

    I went to a couple of local music shop looking for a speaker cab cable. The guy tried to convince me instrument cables worked fine.:D Anyway, there was this Ric '01. It's got a few visible dings, etc. I'm not sure exactly what year it was fabricated. Haven't played it through an amp but...

    Fender active P-bass special

    Oh, that explains it. I didn't know this bass used a blend pot. I guess I'll leave my blend vs. vv issues for another day so as to not hijack this thread. :D

    Fender active P-bass special

    Stupid question but how do you solo/blend the pickups with one master volume? I have a vvt passive pj bass and this is what's kept me from considering an active pj.

    Peavey Zodiac EX p bass copy

    No, OP really does mean Zodiac EX. I own a BXP and the more I play it, the more I love it. :D I was most impressed with the neck. Really low action even on the higher frets and easy to reach the first fret. It is the same as the EX's, at least in width. I don't know how they compare tonally...

    Please help me fix this mess!

    If you're ignorant about it the first time, I don't see how taking it a second time would yield different results.

    Please help me fix this mess!

    Took in my bass to repair for what seemed to me a simple resoldering on the tone (treble) pot. I got it back and when I roll on the tone, all I get is this strange distorted noise. Also, a little bit less output. So I opened it up and noticed a loose black wire stemming from the pickup (stock...

    Carvin Pro Bass 300

    I would advice against the Acoustic cab. If you're on a budget, I would look into the Carvin BR410. Haven't tried it myself but from what I've heard, it can't be worse than the Acoustic B410.

    Fernandes Tremor Deluxe 4

    Pfft, of course I know what bass is best for metal. Just for those newbies out there, please do say so!

    Fernandes Tremor Deluxe 4

    Hi, I recently saw one of these on ebay. I was the highest bidder but was nowhere near the reserve price. Guy asks for $295 (that is 200 more the winning bid :D). Stock price for this is $999. I've been looking for a bass with rumbling lows (with predominant punchiness) and I think this bass...
