I had previously bought an American Performer Jazz Bass in Olympic White and for the life of me I could not get on with it so I sent it back. I then found this bass online at a second hand shop and decided to take a gamble..I was never a big fan of the Vintera necks but this colour combo and...

By the way, not sure what the issue was but I plugged the input jack three times and the noise kept reducing each time and the last time it went away. Could it be a dirty jack input? Is that easy to clean?

Yup. Noise is coming with bass plugged or not plugged. I was hoping I didn't need to splash any cash into this as I bought it second hand and if I need to take it to a guy it's probably going to add up to almost the price of a new one....:/ Oh well. On a separate note, anyone familiar with the...

Yeah I wish I could record it. That's what I get for buying stuff from Facebook Marketplace. It makes the same noise with or without the bass plugged in. I have a guy who repairs amps but just never in my entire 30 years of playing had to deal with a bad amp. Guess I was a victim of buy cheap...

Not at all.

Btw the noise is very loud, even though when plugging in the bass I can also hear it.

Hey team, Bought this second hand Fender Rumble 25 just to have around the house whenever I want to practice a bit and been playing it for a week or two now without any issues. Went on a holiday for 5 days, came back turned the amp on and I hear this noise that almost sounds like a detuned...

Hey Lo-E, that's absolutely amazing. Thank you!!! Those are the ones!

Yeah that looks sweet. Going to look them up! Thank you

Absolutely agree I was just wondering if I was to replace all of them which knobs would you recommend? To keep sort of in style of the semi hollow vintagey vibe

Yes sorry about that here are the knobs

Hi people, I just got myself a second hand Hagstrom Viking Bass and it's got one knob missing. I've tried to look for replacement knobs (originals) but not much out there from Hagstrom. They are pretty much top hats but without the tone and volume writing on them. Does anyone know where I can...

Hey there BPC, Thank you so much for your comments, some really good advice there. I agree, it's a funny one about how much you can pay for these basses Vs how much you put into them. The thing is I've owned a few "cheap" basses and this is probably one of the few basses that I thought might be...

Hi there, I know I go by that jazzbassguy but have recently bought myself a Peavey Milestone BXP Precision Bass (second hand) for £90 ($110) in really good condition and I've been considering maybe doing a few modifications to it as a first project of mine. Was thinking of changing the pickups...
