    Squier CV P bass review

    I just put DiAddario XL Chromes on a Squier CV Precision I purchased about a week ago...they are very smooth and mellow if that's what you're looking for from flatwounds. I have another Squier with DiMarzio DP127 pickups and Rotosound RS77 flatwounds. They have much more bite than the...

    Names of some good country bass players

    Great thread! I've recently started playing in a classic country group and have been listening to a lot of stuff from the 50s and 60s. I know Bob Moore was already mentioned earlier...check out some of his stuff with Ray Price like Crazy Arms. I really like the Bakersfield sound, so Doyle...

    The "Official" MTD (non-US made) Club Part 2

    While I'm still getting to know my CRB, here are a few impressions: The build quality and feel of the neck are what convinced me to purchase this bass over a similarly priced MIM Fender Precision. The support from both 1st Gear Music and the guys over at Dana B. Goods has been excellent...

    The "Official" MTD (non-US made) Club Part 2

    Hey There! I just purchased a CRB (4 string fretted maple neck, tobacco sunburst) a few weeks ago. My first impressions are similar to some of the feedback about other Kingston models...quality build with the weak link possibly the electronics. The CRB should be a great platform to get your...

    Squier "Perfect Fit Replacement Parts" Mega thread

    Thanks for all of the great information...that was more than I could find even after much googling! I wouldn't be afraid of drilling out the holes for tuners as long as the difference in diameter is failry small, which seems to be the case on the Squiers. So how are you digging that VM Jaguar...

    Squier "Perfect Fit Replacement Parts" Mega thread

    Great thread...I've learned a good deal already! I have a Squier Affinity P-Bass, made in Indonesia (Cort factory I think) year 2000. I picked it up as a banger bass but have grown quite fond of it (especially the neck) and am looking into upgrades. I've already ordered the Gotoh 201 bridge...
