Didnt have the guts to tell her how much it really cost, so I told her I got it really cheap because it was damaged!!!!

Yeah if I get some time over the weekend I'll try and get a clip up.

So this just arrived!!! New Fender Flea Jazz Bass. I'm so happy with it. It looks, plays and sound amazing. It has everything that you want in a vintage bass. The vintage '64 single-coil pickups are superb and the neck plays like hot silk. I'm a very happy boy. *On a side note, my wife thinks...

Hey All, I am in the market for a smaller bass for home practice. I don't always like taking my stage basses out because of size etc. I noticed that Hofner do a smaller bass. I was thinking that this would be good for home practice. Does anyone have one of these or played one? I'd like to...

Sorry I had to edit my post as I think i left a very crucial line out. I'm looking for albums, tacks or artists that I could listen to that I can learn from and incorporate into my playing. Cheers

Hi Guys, I've been playing in a cover band for a few years now, doing all the usual standards and now i want to expand into blues. I love the dirty raw sound that comes with songs with a shuffle and would love to expand my playing style. I'm looking for albums, tacks or artists that I could...

Hi Guys, I was looking peoples input on a looper pedal for home use? I'm just looking to mess around with a few things a home. I'm not looking to spend mega bucks on one, but I don't want to cheap out on a bad quality one either. I'm not too fussed with it having built in drum loops. But the...

Great story. Congrats on the bass.

Hey guys thanks for the love. I gigged it last night and the bass tone was so fat. The rest of the band were blown away by how good it sounded and versatile it was. I still haven't given her a name yet so I'm still open to suggestions.

Hey Guys, so stoked to be the proud new owner of a Steve Harris Fender Precision bass. This one in particular has been discontinued and it I s as rare as hen's teeth. I was able to part exchange my Marcus Miller Sire V7 for it. I've no regrets at all. The action is phenomenal and it plays like...

Just ordered a V7. Can't wait for it to arrive. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'll post a pic when it arrives. One question though, does it come with a gig bag? I see some people posting pics and theirs came with one. I checked with Thomann and they didn't list it in the product description.

Can anyone recommend a good padded case for a Fender Jazz bass? I've been searching online and reading reviews but they all seem to be giving conflicting reviews. I've been carrying my bass around in a clunky wooden case which I bought it a few years back when I was short on cash. It weighs an...

I use a the Boss LMB-3 Limiter Enhancer and I think it's actually a pretty good little comp. I use it mainly when playing live. It fattens my tone up nicely and I wouldn't leave home without it. I know some don't personally like it and are put off by a hissing sound. But if you take the time...

The only way to get faster is to practice with a metronome. I had a similar problem when I first started playing. I really struggled to play faster basslines and as a result I had to simplify the bass parts which really took away from the song. My nemesis was Footloose by Kenny Loggins. I think...

New Rig by SafeHands83 posted Apr 16, 2016 at 9:06 AM '98 Jazz bass. Does it count if it has a white scratch-plate? :)
