Hello fellow fender experts. I have a question for you. I have a 69 and a 72 fender precision bass, I have heard that the finish after 68 was poly. Is that 100% true? As the lacquer on 2 of my basses seem to be original and very thin. I thought that from 74 fender started to use he thick poly...

Hello guys. Can you please let me know which company does the fender bass pickups from left over parts from the 60's? I have heard that there is nos old fender pickups available thanks.

I bought the fretless version from him too. There were 2 basses for sale on reverb, fretted and fretless. Mine is a January 1980.

Hello guys. I wanted to lower he action on my 1980 Ibanez Musician bass. When I unscrewed the cover of where the trus rod is hidden found this: Please check the photos. Is this trus rod normal? I have never ever seen such bolted trus rod. How do I adjust the action and what tool would I need...

Do you know if this trus rod is normal? This is ibanez musician 940. I have never seen such trus rod.
