I use a different amp at my practice place (actually it happened with two different places with two different amps so I would not blame amp here). It has never happened to me at home. It is so strange because the p-bass went almost completely dead in the practice, I did not touch anything and at...

Thanks, forgot to mention - it is a passive bass but indeed it sounds like a dying battery

Hi bass players! It happened to me for a 2nd time in last two years that my bass (copy of p-bass, made by a trusted luthier) is getting very low and at the same time distorted signal, with almost no low end. Every time I go home back from practice it is working well again. Last time I brought...

a happy end to this thread - LaBella was kind to sent me a new G-string: it sounds great, no buzz, so clearly is must have been a faulty string.

Thanks for all your answers! As I changed the strings one day before my gig I was quite desperate and ticked off most of your advices from this thread: put paper between G string and the nut slot, raised and lowered the saddle to max/min, pressed the string against the bridge saddle, muted the...

It does buzz on the last fret too. Thanks!

Hi! I purchased a set of strings for my Yamaha bass (same gauge as the previous set where I did not have any issues): LaBella RX-S5D 45-130 There is an annoying buzz on G string, both on open string but also in pretty much all positions across the neck. I tried adjusting the neck, the saddle...

Just came back from shopping, welcome onboard my first j-bass, JB62 CIJ:

Just to tell you how my story ended: I went to see the JB from previous pictures, sadly did not really sound as good as I hoped. Then I realized there is another JB just an hour drive from there, and veni vidi vici! Immediately felt in love with this beauty, CIJ JB63, beginning of 2000s, with US...

BTW - I was checking here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] and it does not seem JB45 was sold in Japan in 1995 (neither in 94), can it be it was for export only, or maybe it is not JB45?

Serial no: T006849, it was renovated by Link Removed a few years ago. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks mate!

Thanks a lot guys - for saving me from buying a fake! Going to test a MIJ tomorrow, looking forward!

OK, thanks, I will be looking for another one.

But is it possible Squier would have a Fender JB head?
