    Does Anyone Actually like Indian Laurel or Pau Ferro Fret Boards?

    Oh hey it's this thread again lol I have a player series P bass with a beautiful piece of Pau Ferro on it. Absolutely love the way it sounds after dropping a '63 pure vintage in it. I have seen some less-than-good-looking Pau ferro boards for sure, so I can understand the issues there. But if...

    Darken Pau Ferro fingerboard to look like rosewood?

    This is very good advice, I use boiled linseed on my pau ferro and it does work well. It will take at least a few applications over the course of a little time, but it's a good conditioner for the wood, won't stain your hands, and will darken the wood over time. Pau Ferro is not as oily as...

    Cabs for Super Bassman 300. Making Decisions.

    The GK 212s are only about 3" shorter than the 212 that I already have. That cab barely fits in the back of the 2013 Civic I drive. While the GK would fit better than what I currently have, I would still have to put one in the passenger area and it would be a rather tight fit with the way the...

    Cabs for Super Bassman 300. Making Decisions.

    I considered that, but it would be difficult if not impossible to fit both GK 212s in my Civic with the SB300

    Cabs for Super Bassman 300. Making Decisions.

    I appreciate greatly everyone's insight and information. I'm gonna get two of the 115s because that just makes the most sense. I hope all of you are having a strong-to-quite-strong Friday!

    Cabs for Super Bassman 300. Making Decisions.

    Hey TB. I wrote a book. I hope someone will read it. I've come into a couple grand that I would like to partially use for a pair of cabs to go with my SB300. Currently, I run the SB300 with a Player Series P-Bass with a 63 pure vintage coil, through an Avatar B212 with the Eminence 12s. I...

    Does the neck cause a truss rod to turn?

    no truss rod should need more than seasonal adjustment at most

    Thoughts on Squire Basses for Professional Musicians?

    OMG THIS 'cept for maybe the peavey thing, if I knew more about it I'd have an opinion. I recently got the Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass V (Long Scale) in the shop, and it's pretty sweet. Adjustable pole pieces on the J pickup, and a pretty sweet neck. Squiers are a great deal for...

    Fender Starcaster Bass "Reissue"!!

    That's one of fender's pricing policies that makes absolutely no sense (there's more where that came from). I've asked my rep that question multiple times and he can't give me an answer. I suspect it has something to do with price-tiering and cost of materials/labor.

    A New Fender Coronado Bass?????

    I'm under the impression from my Fender Rep that these will be made in Japan. I will not say that with certainty. Also...If you're looking at fender basses...wait a month. The Fender Dimension Basses are coming out soon. They're a departure from what fender had been doing for a while...worth...

    Fender Starcaster Bass "Reissue"!!

    MAP pricing on the Starcaster and Coronado Basses are $749.99USD. If you see it lower anywhere online, they are breaking official fender policy (unless they have obtained special permissions). The American Dimension Basses are going to be cool. They're making Deluxe and Standard models. I...
