I hope I can get two more images up here…

Steve built this bass for me in 2006. It has not had much playtime since then. It is in excellent condition and will ship in a new molded Fender Jazz Bass case. Here are the particulars: Alder Body 3-color Sunburst finish(Poly), 3 piece quarter-sawn maple neck, Pau Ferro(Bolivian Rosewood)...

I did the Active Input test and still got nothing, but the Power Amp In works from an external signal, so the Power Amp is working well. Of those three wires, only the Red one seemed to be not fully soldered in on the main circuit board side. I'll try to solder it better tomorrow. All the...

Thanks! I did your Pre Amp out test and got nothing. Even though the tube is lighting up the problem is there. When I move the Main Volume or pull out the Transparency knob I get noise, so I think the Power side is working. Removing the top I found that any movement of a 3 wire group of...

I have not had a chance to scan this entire thread to see if anyone has written in w/ a similar problem, but here is my situation. I have an early Studio 220 amp (serial # 047 0052) is was working up to about three months ago. I really don't use it that much anymore since I got a Little...

It has been about 2 yrs since I put the Hipshot on my '75 4001. I noticed right off a bit more sustain. Tone was pretty much the same(I use TI flats). Adjustments were easy and I finally got the intonation right. I don't have this wobble problem that was mentioned. I have all the adjustment...

Just got this one off E-bay(Pic's are from seller). All the way from NH to HI, safely! Made in 1999 and the strings need to be replaced. I remember an older thread mentioning that TI flats work good with these. I hope I was understanding that these were the same Flats that are used on...

Quote from Johnk_10: "Mine first bass was a used 1964 St. George that my parents bought me from a pawn shop in downtown LA for $50 in 1966. it had a huge bow in the neck with super high action, but i didn't know any better and learned to play bass on it anyway. 34" scale, all mahogany (made in...

In the gallery the P-bass w/ the one piece ash body and Maple neck w/ logo on the back is mine. I can see why Dan said it was hard to let go of after playing it on some recording before sending it over. The neck joint is tight and right(it came with the neck off to save on shipping cost)...

I bought one of these bodies last year. A tobacco-burst ash body. I supplied an early 90's MIJ jazz neck and he had his luthier assemble and set it up for me. They sent it to me with DR strings. First off it was very hard to intonate, and the E string was very boomy(I should have suspected...
