    NEW Squier Telecaster Bass!

    I owned this bass (comes in 2 varieties - single coil or 2 humbuckers - liked the sound of the single coil best). Liked it very much. Found the neck to be somewhat wider than a Jazz or P Bass. Most important to me was that the edges were more square than rounded like the other models. Although...

    Carvin BX500: Pt. 3

    I've had mine for years after I called Schroeder speakers for a recommendation. Jorge Schroder himself recommended it to me. Works great with my mini 12.

    Fende P Bass upgrade

    I have a Squire/Fender medium scale P bass (32") from Japan. This dates to '84-'87 and I love it. However, I recently tried one of the new Squire medium scale Tele basses with one single coil. This has a much more powerful sound and this leads me to think about upgrading my original pickups...

    32" Scale - Pros and Cons?

    Don't know how my Squier Tele Bass got linked to that site, but I bought mine from Amazon - $299.

    32" Scale - Pros and Cons?

    Just got a new 32" Squier Tele bass. Excellent sound and an excellent value. Like it even better than my '85 Squier Japan 32" P Bass.

    NEW Squier Telecaster Bass!

    Loving my Tele bass. But I recently attempted to replace my bridge with a 4-barrel one. Fortunately, before I drilled new holes, I noticed that the new bridge was wider and that the 1 and 4 strings would be outside the fingerboard. Of course, I replced the original bridge. Any ideas or...

    Wrong bridge width

    I have a new Squier Tele with a two-piece bridge rather than four individual adjusting posts, so I thought I'd change it. Ordered a new P-Bass bridge and realized that the new bridge was wider than the one on the Tele. This would have moved the strings to the very edge of the fingerboard. Can...

    Jeannie Pickguards - my experience

    I just a great experience with Tony Dudzik at Pickguardian. I chose him after reading about the guy at Jeannies and I'm glad I did.

    Flatwounds with pick

    I play with a pick and have always used roundwounds. Now, I'm thinking of trying flats. Can I continue to use a pick with them? Many thnaks.

    The Official Medium Scale Bass Club

    Just got a new Squier Telecaster bass - 32inch model. Neck is wider than my '85 Squier Japan 32 inch P Bass, but very comfortable. I have two of these and will be flipping one soon, now that I have the Tele. I already have a number (63) so I don't need another - just alerting everyone to the new...

    New bridge for Telecaster bass

    Many thanks to all who responded to my question about a new Tele bridge. Great food for thought. I'll probably keep the existing bridge to see how it performs before I go to the time and expense to replace it. By the way, I did replace the 1-ply guard for a b/w/b one. I just thought it would...

    New bridge for Telecaster bass

    Just got a new Squier Telecaster bass (single coil), medium scale (32inch) model. At $299 I think it's just great. BUT, the bridge is like a '51 model with only two adjusting screws, not four individual ones. I'd like to replace the vintage bridge with another one, but the current bridge has...

    NEW Squier Telecaster Bass!

    Just got the white one with the single pickup. I am used to playing a made-in-japan Squier 32 inch P bass ('84-'87)and was very anxious to try this Telecaster. The neck width is definitely wider and the edges are not as rounded as on the P bass. In short order I got used to the difference -...
