    The All New Passive Sire P5 & D5

    Alright, I'm not giving up on them yet. :) If you had a chance to try the old generation of Squire Classic Vibe 50s, how do D5s compare to them?

    The All New Passive Sire P5 & D5

    I watched LowEndLobster's video and D5 seems underwhelming. Sure, it looks great and I'm sure it's well crafted, no issues there. However, in terms of sound, the bass sounds generic and uninspiring. My thought was: "it's not what I expected from P 51". It's possible replacing the pickup with a...

    Momose MTB2 vs other premium SCPB basses

    I've been looking for a Momose MTB2 for a long time, but no luck. I can buy it from Japan, but shipping to Europe and import fees make it out of reach at the moment. A question for those who have it: how does it compare to other premium SCPB basses like Maruszczyk Jake 55, Fender Custom Shop or...

    I recently purchased a Fender Blacktop Jazz bass from a music store in Serbia. My mom was there and they had a huge discount so I asked her to buy it and bring it to me, sight unseen. The bass was factory sealed and I was thrilled with its quality and sound. Yesterday I hired a guy to do a...

    A question for Europeans: How do you find good deals?

    I've outgrown my good old Eko 1100 bass and I'm looking for a replacement. Something not too expensive and a little better, as well as good enough for gigging if it comes to that. I'm hunting for a used instrument that doesn't need much work to be playable, but I don't know where to look. I...
