Thanks, I was able to confirm with PRS it's the same as used on the guitars ~

I’m trying to determine two things regarding the strap buttons on the PRS bass models. 1. The distance between the body and the wide flange of the strap button 2. The diameter of the wide flange Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I did an MIJ strat some years back and used a heat gun and scraper to get most of the original finish off, followed by a little bit of sanding. In the second photo, on the lower horn, you can see how the finish came off in big curls. I sprayed it with lacquer from ReRanch. 'Really good products...

For you folks with a tremelo bar, do you have a problem with it just falling out? My VI was shipped without a bar and when I called MF to ask about getting one they asked if it was threaded or non-threaded and that the VI had been made with both types. I couldn't see any threads and couldn't...

On Friday at 7:30 pm I called PayPal to ask if it was possible to cancel payment. I was informed in order to stop payment I would have to initiate a claim and then PayPal would reach out to the vendor who would have 11 days to respond. I said ok, never mind, I'll just see what happens...

I ship USPS Priority a lot and have for the last 11 years. Last week on 1/18 I sent a parcel from Virginia, it was on the addressee's doorstep in California on 1/20. My experience with USPS has been excellent ~ Lots of folks rave about the strings. I placed my first order with them 2 weeks ago...

Thanks, I already had some on order. Two weeks later I'm still waiting for them to ship. Probably should have ordered them elsewhere. 'Anxious to see the difference the strings will make. I did spend a little more time trying to dial things in and it's much improved.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed helpful information to this long running thread. I've been playing guitar since 1962 and love playing bass too. I got a white Bass VI this week for $324 that was a 'blem' special at MF. I've yet to find the blem, in fact I'm really surprised at the quality...

bump for a sweet bass ~

I bought this 60th Anniversary new in 2007. I'm a guitarist and wanted to be able to do some bass tracks on some home recording. It's only had a few hours of play time and is very clean. Has the S-1 switching. Comes with the Fender molded case and a Fender gig bag. The original white pick guard...

I've always been told if you run an amp without a speaker load you can fry it, so I'm not surprised there were so many people who had that happen. A warning label would sure have been helpful. When I called to ask why they cancelled my confirmed order they flubbed around on the phone then they...

I ordered one for $279 this morning at about 9am. I got a confirmation email shortly afterwards. By the afternoon I had another email from Zzounds that said my order was cancelled because they didn't have any ~ I have a U.S.A. made B100R and like it a lot. I sure was psyched to think I was...

I live in Pa. too and it was like a sauna this past weekend~ I keep a micro- fiber cloth that's moistened with mineral oil in a plastic bag. It's a great way to keep the strings clean and corrosion resistant and keeps the neck slick too ~ Lasts for months then run it through the wash. For a...

My experience with Monster cables is primarily from having used them with guitars, but I will offer it to you anyway in the hope it is helpful. I was surprised at how much 'tone' I lost when I turned the instrument down to partial volume. At full volume on the guitar, the Monster sounded nice...
