    Strap Pin Constantly Comes Loose

    Any advice? I "bounce around" a lot when I play, particularly at gigs. My strap pin constantly is coming loose. I've tightened it as much as I dare without fear of stripping the wood, but it keeps coming loose. It is a Fender Jazz Deluxe bass with Fender/Schaller strap locks. I tried...

    Discount For Multiple Bookings?

    Played a bar that recently changed ownership and has a new name. They are looking to build a new clientele. Played there and filled the place (about 50 people - it's not huge) and got a very good reception from the patrons and bartenders. Now we're talking about being a "regular" there up...

    Playing Sundays at a dive bar... (small rant)

    I'm in the camp of taking a couple for the team, but not indefinitely. Every-other week for a few weeks (you need real rehearsal time, too) and then take what you've learned and apply it elsewhere (unless they want to start paying.)

    2010 Fender American Deluxe club!!

    18 months in, I still love mine. I have started selling off my other basses because I only want to play my ADJB.

    Can't decide between a Fender Mustang and a Squier Mustang...

    The used Fender will hold its value. If you decide in six weeks, six months, or six years its not the bass you want, you can easily get 90-110% of what you paid for it back. [If you don't overpay now.) I'm guessing the Squier will lose half its value. I own both brands. But buying the Fender...

    Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live with bag $160 shipped

    I've got a Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live for sale. Works great. I just don't use effects with my current classic rock band. The original power supply was iffy so I recently replaced it with a brand-new one. It comes with a padded carrying bag. The bag is a bit beat up (ripped at the top by the...
