    Fender models with that serif JAZZ BASS on the headstock?

    70’s TV logos are my all-time Fender favorite. Here’s mine:

    Lefty beginner - learn left or right?

    I'm a lefty. Always been since I was a kid. I write with my left hand, kick the ball with my left foot, eat soup with my left hand. But I play baseball like a righty and, most importantly, I play bass/guitar like a righty too. Since the first time I held a stringed instrument in my hands it just...

    specific question about MIM vs MIA fenders

    MIM Fenders are pretty good instruments in my opinion. It is obvious that MIA Fenders are better in some aspects, that's why they are twice the price. The selection of woods is maybe what you are referring to. They choose better woods for MIA basses. It's like wines, better grapes and a longer...

    What Bass should I buy?

    If you like the look of the StingRay, the idea of having 2 Humbuckers and budget is not an issue, get an StingRay V HH. The G&L 2500 is a great option too.

    Fender Rumble Club

    Try using the iRig. I've recorded some covers and video covers with that. Great piece of technology at a very low price. It is $7.00 USD or something like that. To make it work you'll need just your cell phone. I use my iPhone and Apple's GarageBand app. It also works with Android and similar...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hello guys, So this is a kinda bittersweet post. I had to sell my Rumble 500 recently because of all this crazy sh!t going on globally. I lost my job last June and needed some extra cash to cover basic needs of the household. Thanks to God, my wife still has her job and we are surviving. We...

    Geezer Butler signature pick ups

    Hello guys, Last time I was around here, I asked about a damaged volume pot on my PJ GZR set. Some of you suggested to email the guys at EMG. So I did. I was amazed with the customer service. I wrote an email telling them I had a bad volume pot and they immediately offered to send me a new one...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hello guys, Is there something like DIY cab layouts? In these times of “quarantine” I’m getting the tickle of making myself one. I searched the wiki page but found nothing like it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Pickup/bridge covers

    Pickup/Bridge covers have no practical use. They do not shield or enhance/affect sound whatsoever. The initial idea of them being on basses and guitars (strats and teles had them too) was purely for aesthetics. Leo thought they looked better than having pickups and bridges exposed. The thing is...

    We Don't Need No Steenkin Badges...A Fender Cabronita Club!

    Hello everyone, So I'm starting a new project build. Got this brand new, original Fender Cabronita bass body for a $100 bucks. Couldn’t pass on it. I was looking for a normal P bass body for this new project but the Cabronita showed up. The dilema is: I wanted this new project bass to be surf...
