I have a Blue L-2500 and a Green L-2000, named Blue Magoo and Greeny. I also have a sunburst LB-100 yet unnamed.

I've tried adjusting the truss rod in both directions and the problem persists

Tried the capo thing and the buzz is still there. My initial thought was loose saddles too, but I've tried everything there, and it really sounds like its coming from the neck. I was really hoping it's not a truss rod issue, since It's a brand new custom shop bass I've only had for 2 weeks, but...

This is a fairly new LB-100 that has started buzzing on certain notes on the G string. It’s really prominent on the 8th-10th frets. But also the 14th fret A makes it happen. Can anyone identify the source? It sounds like it’s coming from the neck/headstock but i’ve checked every screw and can’t...

I don't know if that's the issue. The problem only happens when it IS airtight.

Not sure what's going on exactly here, but I've got a Traynor SB112 and when I play low notes at any kind of substantial volume, you can hear a little flapping from the tweeter. I leave the tweeter turned off on this thing, so it's nothing that's actually being pushed through the tweeter. Today...

Most likely Boomers

I have a set of LaBella Deep Talkin' black nylon tape wounds in hand, and I've never felt or played on tape wounds in my whole life. So, I picked up a set to check them out. What kinds of basses do people usually put these on? Obviously P's and J's. Any body care to comment on using them on...

Let me know when I can get a CLF L-2500!

Still available?

Where in Indiana?

I received the Mike Gordon bass today. To be honest, I'm looking into returning it. It came with Ken Smith Slickrounds on it, and terribly high action. I tried a set of brand new DR high beams I had laying around and even with those on, the neck has .045" of relief in it. Most of my basses are...

This is correct, the 5th knob is piezo blend. Very nice tones available here.

It's not a 2001, serial number indicates '98. The strange thing is that I received a certificate of authenticity with a completely different serial number on it. I wonder if this is in fact the bass he intended to sell, or if some kind of mistake happened. I've got a message in on Reverb to...

On that note, it just occurred to me that maybe the only other modulus bass I have ever played in my life was one of Oteil's. It was a Q6 that he had given to a killer player from North Carolina named Taylor Lee, who lived down the hall from me freshman year. Maybe if I keep at it, I can get my...
