    TRADED Carvin LB75F (Plus Cab? Plus Cheap 4-String Fretless?) for 4-String Fretless

    That Carvin's looking good! Any interest in a Fender MIM lined fretless Jazz and/or 2000 model SR640TI?

    Good comparison of Stingray, jazz, and p-bass tones

    If we are still looking at comparison videos, I have always liked this one. Again, not anyone I know (and not me for certain) but it is a nice comparison. Also adds Warwick and Alembic .

    Favorite Bass For Flatwounds

    Have we mentioned the P-bass sounds good with flats? Chromes for me on the American Special. Also on my fretless MIM jazz. The Squier P strung BEAD has GHS flats now but would do much better with LaBella flats.

    What are you GASsing for?

    Even with my collection of Fenders I have already, I would love to try out one of those new Dimensions. In Candy Apple Red of course. Might make me forget all about that Gibson Victory bass I let get away.

    Attention Hobby Bassists ...How many basses do you own?

    I guess I would be considered a hobby bassist. I play 3 to 4 times a week to the best audience, my wife. So yeah, only play outside the house in a few jam sessions here and there. But it hasn't kept me from collecting ten total so far. I call some of them "rescue basses" because I get them and...

    BEAD Bass

    I just filed down the nut slots in the existing nut on my Squier, put in BEAD strings and works fine. Tuning, string height, intonation all with no problems. However, to the original poster, I have to ask... do you REALLY want to make changes to a 40 year-old Fender?!? Keeping them original...

    TC Electronic combined toneprints

    No, these are like 2 effects in one download. I have a BG250 with only the one toneprint slot. So I will be trying these out TONIGHT! Thanks much for the heads up and I will let you know how it works on mine.

    Just a neat little thing I thought some of you might enjoy...

    BEAD inquiry

    Agreed. For me it was as simple as filing the nut to a larger string size. My Squier PJ intonated fine with the Gotoh bridge. (and there is a BEAD string club now, I think I am number 8)
