I have a CIJ GL Jazz Bass. I got it for many reasons : Killer look (Maple with black Block inlays) Great price / Quality Thinner neck I like it very much. It growls a lot, put I replaced the pickups with Dimarzios. More Bass , round and loud. I customizei mine, replacing pickguard , neckplate...

Hi Folks ! I got a Fernandes Atlas Deluxe 5 on a trade. I replaced the original pickguard with a new one (clear). I'm using it this week and it feels very solid, confortable and with a nice tone. Could I have a number on this club, please ?

No opinions ?

As far as I know, the Deluxe version is neck thru body and 5x is bolt on neck. The 5x uses Fernandes pickup and the De Luxe uses Seymour Duncan SMB5A pickups. I had some Korean (Tobias Toby Pro 6 string, Cort B4FL) and Indonesian basses (Cort Action V,Yamaha BB415) and I think both countries do...

Hi folks ! I already have a Fender Jazz Bass (Geddy Lee) and a EBMM SR5 HH and I´m with an oportunity of get one of these two basses. I'll get a new bass (cheap one) for rehearsals. I´ve tried a Sterling SUB 5 (used). Confortable, sounds hot ! It distorts a little , maybe because the...

Fender Jazz Bass Geddy Lee Signature Model (customized) Ernie Ball Stingray 5 HH (Black/Rosewood) Yamaha BB 415 (Black/Rosewood) Cort B4FL (fretless)

Thinking about my basses, in order : 1- Ernie Ball Musicman Stringray 5 HH - Modern sound, very flexible, so many sounds; 2 - Fender Jazz Bass - A classic , a keeper. Sounds great in almost all situations; 3 - Yamaha BB 415 - Great sound too, PJ configuration, 5er. Good for rock/blues and a...

Thanks ! Did you let it dry how long between each coat ? Does the steel wool darkens the maple wood ? Tks. !

I imagine that it will be dirty and stained really fast. Yes, I'm reading something about Tung Oil finish. I must apply it how many times ? It will be applied pure or thinned ? Which kind of thinner ? Which thinner to oil ratio ? May I use the Tung Oil finish in neck too ...

Hi Folks ! I´m planning to build a really simple project of a "Raw" P-Bass, just for rehearsals. I´m intending buying a P-Bass made of Ash, unfinished and let it this way. Just put the pickguard, all other parts and just play. It is will be there any problems in the future ? Thinking...

I share the same opinion. A 5er just makes sometimes things easier, letting you play more vertically than needs to go horizontally. Just it. The additional notes are just 5 (from B to D#), but sometimes these very low notes adds a more dramatical approach. I have a 5er and 2 other 4 strings...

Well, I´m using a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 with an Aguilar GS112. Easy to bring with you, loud and fat. It is OK for my needs. I intended to buy a Genz-Benz NEO 2 x 12" , but I have no space for it.

My top five list 1- Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 HH (currently own) 2- Fender Jazz Bass Geddy Lee model (currently own) 3 - Tobias Toby Pro 6 string customized (Bartolini eletronics) - I miss it ! 4 - A luthier fretless bass, looks like a Ken Smith. Schaller tuners, Badass bridge and...
