    Can a mustang or musicmaster be converted to 34" scale?

    I made a 34" musicmaster bass. Re routered neck cavity to fit warmoth neck (jazz bass neck) Filled sanded painted body again bridge remained relatively similar position but all fresh. The bridge itself needed some redrilling to match its new string spacing. Seymour Duncan pickup, mustang...

    Marshall 3530 silver jubilee - matching set

    It's a great amp head, mine had dry solder points on the pots, fixed for around $150australian dollars. Hang onto it, have owned SVT and the 3530 is way better. I've found that keeping it more open the fan hardly comes on, my settings as follows: the 3 bass knobs at 930-10 o'clock/ the two mid...

    Marshall 3530 silver jubilee - matching set

    It's a great amp head, mine had dry solder points on the pots, fixed for around $150australian dollars. Hang onto it, have owned SVT and the 3530 is way better. Yes the fan is a bit loud, but you only hear it occasionally when the sound stops. Great great head.

    Best quality cheap bass amp head? Fender? Hartke? Gallien-Krueger? Carvin?

If your looking for huge tonality,clarity may I also recommend these three brands that we're manufactured in the seventies/ WASP/HOLDEN/GUNN - when...

    Need help selecting my first bass

    Hey, their all not to bad choices for the price, but like consensus I'd go Ibanez 300 series....One thing I would recommend is go light to medium gauge strings to begin with and stop when your fingers hurt, they may blister, just remember your playing your fingers in as much as the instrument...

    Ibanez really?

    Yeah, all their 'Japanese' work is very good - they also produce from Korea and Indonesia now, those are average. I have a 1986 RB850 from Japan, it's one of my favourites, active twin humbuckers, the neck is as good as any new/MIJ model, the other model just come out looks very good to, the...

    Holden/Wasp club

    Same, own a Holden 200w Graphic Bass head circa 1976 + speaker cab (Here's another member for the club/New Zealand) this amp has some serious output power, like the volume on 2 and 2 on master would crush a new 100w amp, these were built to be sonically loud, warm clean tone....I'd never sell...
