    Lowball: How much is too much?

    I received a lot of crapy proposition. I don't take it personnal. IMO, when i put a price on something, i always think of the bargaining margin. Sometimes, it's no dealing allowed but i indicate it. Depends on the item I'm selling and the way i feel it. I always do local sell. But i'm thinking...

    Bass build cost...is it worth it for the common Working man (Rush title)

    I know a couple of guitars and bass players in Montreal. No one ever told me they were builders. As i can see, here on TB, there's a lot of builders. All the stuff you show is wonderful. I hope i can do a bass that is presentable like yours. The Miami vice twins are great :). Thanks again...

    Bass build cost...is it worth it for the common Working man (Rush title)

    Hey, I read all your answers. I would have put a ''like'' on all your comments. Thanks everyone for the positive input. It would be my first bass build. I made 2 or 3 cigar box guitars over the years and like a couple of you said, it's all about the therapeutic side and the proud side (sorry...

    Bass build cost...is it worth it for the common Working man (Rush title)

    Hello everyone, I bought a Zion neck (propose by another tread) in a garage sale for 5$. I've been looking at the SBO and WBO for a year now. So, i said to myself I'll give it a try. Since I got the neck, I want to shop the rest (I don't have all the tools to make everything), body, bridge...

    It's a 20 fret neck. Heel dimension is 2.5''x4'' There's a stamp in the wood that indicate 2009 in the back of the headstock It's a 24'' scale. If you look at the pic, there is a small bevel on the border on the headstock opposite side of the peg hole. Thanks for the help.

    Help identifying a neck

    I bought a bass neck for almost nothing, 5 can$, in a garage sale. The guy told me it's a Fender neck. I know it's not Fender. Can you help me identify this neck? Do you think i can i use it to make a P-bass build? I'm not a luthier but there seems to be missing a bolt for the trust rod. Do i...

    Tina Turner, Singer of Explosive Power, Is Dead at 83

    She had a powerful voice that will stay forever! I got a couple of song that comes to my head when you say Tina Turner. Being Canadian, she did a great duo with Bryan Adams. Great lost for the music!

    I play mostly classic rock but other stuff too. Pick or finger depends on the song. I play a Godin Shifter 4 and a Stingray short. Like i said, my settings on the empress are near but i got no picture for now.

    Neck dive... why is it a problem?

    When i go to buy/try a new bass, neck dive is a turn off right away. When can i get my sip of beer between tunes if i got to hold the neck :roflmao: Give me a break.

    Why bass?

    Kinda fell into it after i had to stop drumming. Like it was said before, when i listen to music i always love the drum and bass combination. It's the bass that make people dance, not the guitar ;)
