    I ordered one from Sweetwater yesterday, ships today. Arrives Friday or Saturday. Excited to get it. I was about to pull the trigger on the well reviewed Ashen APC 700 when I saw this and ordered immediately.

    Buyers Beware/Scam: Rick Link/Beardly Customs

    I dont know what to say...my experience couldn't be further from what you've described. I likely recommend a Beardly at least once a week to others. I just got done recording all morning with my Beardly Custom bass and it performed flawlessly. The craftsmanship and attention from Rick Link...

    Buyers Beware/Scam: Rick Link/Beardly Customs

    That was kind of my point - I just can't wrap my head around how my Beardly is perfection in almost every way, yet O.P. had so many issues with his. I researched Beardly quite a bit prior to ordering mine. I'm pretty sure that I didn't run across one complaint online, but scores of awesome...

    Buyers Beware/Scam: Rick Link/Beardly Customs

    I just want to chime in with MY experience as the owner if a Beardly Customs bass as it couldn't have been more different. I commissioned my bass in summer of 2023. I told him to take his time and have fun with it. I was in no rush. My bass was delivered in August 2024. I couldn't be more...

    Official Fender 75th Anniversary Diamond Bass Club (Precision or Jazz)

    Does anyone know what the production numbers for the Diamond Series models? Everything says "limited edition", but I've found no mention of actual production numbers.

    Official Fender 75th Anniversary Diamond Bass Club (Precision or Jazz)

    New here! Hadn't seen one of these before yesterday at onr of my local music stores. Today I bought it! N.O.S. mint for $735 + tax. I felt like this was a good deal considering it's condition and a 75th. But mainly, I really need a basic Fender P. I have other Ps, but they don't have that...

    Official ATK Club (Part 4)

    I have one I picked up through FB Marketplace 2 or 3 years ago for under $200. I had been on the lookout for an ATK to replace one I'd sold in the 90s. I absolutely love mine!

    Wenge Neck Club

    I've always really liked basses with Wenge necks starting with an pair of Ibanez SDGR1306PM and a SDGR1305PM I owned in the 90s. Here's my newest Wenge neck offering: 2024 Beardly Custom Multiple Laminate top and back Mahogany core Zebrawood body stringer on back PME magnetic control cover...

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    I was actually thinking this one may be one of few, (or one), to be made of this model just prior to moving manufacturing to Korea, as well. It looks like it is coming home to me. I'm hoping to have in the next week or so. I'll follow up with pics of the back of the headstock and serial as soon...
