Hi all, I'm sadly going to sell my Vintera I Mustang 60s bass.. It doesn't get the playtime it actually deserves and I have the chance of buying a used Fender USA Elite Jazz bass (which I honestly really want). And so I was wondering what the actual sell price is for a my Mustang bass. The...

A new one for my collection and an actual Fender Jazz bass again. Didn't really bother to take some pictures but here it is. A 2008 Fender Active Deluxe Jazz bass (MIM). I traded my parts P-bass for this one and couldn't be happier. It sounds really warm which is already a sound I was looking...

Yea, kinda. In conjuction with my MXR M87 comp (I need that one lol). Could be that the drive of the VT Bass DI also contributes in an awful sound so far. That thing seems a really sensitive bugger.

My Jazz bass became my dedicated bass for standard D and drop C tunings since 2 years now. For standard, half-step down or drop D I use my SUB USA and Ray34.

Fairly ok but also slightly squashed. So it actually could’ve been a bit of a twisted string.

Hi all, In short: I'm a hobbyist/bedroom bassist since 2006 but it seems like I'm still too stupid to understand and fix audio stuff. So here's my question: as the thread title says, my lowest string always sounds squashed while the others are sounding quite clear tbh. How do I fix it? I just...

About the neck: yes, because it's roasted maple. I admit I wouldnt mind if it were a bit lighter in color but I still like it though. Roasted maple should be a bit stronger than the regular maple necks. Also, yup, a Stingray should be in pretty much every bassist's arsenal ;)

Hello, fellow bass people. Here's my most recent acquisition: my (already) precious SBMM Ray34, and ofcourse it had to be in 3TS. I have a parts J and P bass for about 11-12 years but always wanted a bass with the Stingray sound, or at least something that's really close to it. So here we here...
