    Fender Flea Active Jazz bass mysterious crackling noise - video clip attached - please help!

    Fender Flea Active Jazz bass mysterious crackling noise - video clip attached - please help!

    Took the bass to a tech and he thought everything under the hood looked okay, and that it was a loose jack. He tightened the jack and we couldn't make the noise again at his shop. Thought it was fixed. Of course, I get home and the noise resumes. Very difficult to reproduce it consistently. It's...

    Do you keep you bass in a case, or on a stand to "display" at all times?

    I may be in the minority, that when my basses aren't being played, I always put them back in their cases. Where I live (Alaska), the weather experiences major swings. And to me a well-adjusted and intonated bass is important, and temp and humidity changes can have a gig effect on that so I...

    Stingray-the most divisive bass sound?

    P-bass, ha. Yes, it does one sound and it does that sound well. But not much else. Try to play some funk, metal, or modern country and a P-bass falls on its ass. I can't stand the P-Bass evangelists. The Precision is to bass what the Toyota Corolla is to cars - it'll get the jobs done, but...

    Stingray-the most divisive bass sound?

    Crazy that I haven't seen anyone in this thread seriously nominate Flea's sound as maximum 'Ray tone. A lot of Blood Sugar Sex Magik (and there is no greater rock bass sound than this, if you disagree you may be wrong) was recorded with Flea playing a growly, punchy, and troublesome-to-mix...

    Can't believe how bad the color offerings are from Ernie Ball for 2021. Wonder if this is somehow covid-related, in that there's some kind of supply shortage, so EB is just clearing their warehouse of ugly black hardware and paint colors that no one wants?

    What's your Most expensive, Least expensive or Priceless bass?

    Holy poopie this purple P-Bass is one of the coolest basses I have ever seen in my life. I never realized how much I wanted a purple p-bass.

    I'm loving the photos of everyone's awesome interior design. This pic looks like a chill living room lounge and outside is a tropical rainforest.
