Hi y’all. Pretty straight forward question here. I bought a new “SG” bass and of course the control layout is vvt. I was wondering if anybody had modified one to be vvtt with the rotary switch and side jack. Looking at the photos online without being able to compare them side-by-side it looks...

I’ve been “playing” bass for longer than I’d like to admit. For years and years I preached the supremacy of the precision bass and didn’t deviate too far in my own personal collection. I specifically hated Gibson basses, they were everything a pbass wasn’t. I also loved to rib people about...

The ruby red jazz bass is a jaw dropper. They have a couple of 6 strings that have me weak at the knees too, especially the Sherwood green telecaster. I would have been in heaven if they had made the 51 precision in Sherwood…. I already own 2 of the LPB models from the 2010 CV run

Anybody pre-order the 40th anniversary basses? I jumped on the LPB pbass. Not a CV technically but should be coming from the same factory and similar specs right?

So we’ve all heard a million times that the more clean headroom you have the better pedal platform an amp is, and wattage more or less has a direct correlation with overall headroom. Now comparing 2 very similar (power wise) SS heads I am getting very different results: I have an ACC model...

wow absolutely unreal. I’ve seen some light figuring on CVs in the but nothing like this. Makes you wonder how cuts of wood that nice “slip through the cracks” per-say and don’t end up on a more expensive instrument.

Hi all, so I have a 2008 squier CV 50s precision. I love the neck on it so much I actually own two of these guitars and have bought 2 extra necks that had been ripped from said squier tele bass, to be used down the line on some partscasters. my main player has developed a little divot at the...

Thanks for the input y’all. I have no ‘need’ to crank it, but would like to. So for the time being I will play it safe with the master volume turned down low and eventually pick up something with a better power rating. Maybe I can find an original 810

So I have a pretty basic question here. After picking up an older bassman 300, I realized my most modern cabinet is a Goliath jr rated at 350w. The amp is only 300 rms but can peak at 900 (?) Am I risking ruining my swr? Do I need to get something a little more capable to handle that kind of...

My stu hamm mim looks like it came with a SD preamp, pickups and a bad ass bridge from the factory. Rumor has is they were "parts bin" employee owned guitars, not even sure if that could be verified but I love mine and GLWTS

Sweet rivoli. Same color as mine and those are the only two I’ve ever seen in natural. Gorgeous guitar and a sweet price. Glwts

Should have been more specific. He is steaming the dents once the wood is bare. Steam won’t penetrate a finished piece of wood, something to that effect. So not completely “re-profiling” like I led on previously. and yes he said that he is worried that an oil finish will not take a sprayed...

I have a Korean Rivoli that feedbacks like crazy. I know this is the nature of semi-hollows but there’s got to be a little room for improvement. It currently is rocking a dimarzio model one humbucker that I would like to swap for a Novak Darkstar, but my tech seems to think adding a single...

So I am no luthier myself but I have an amazing tech in town who does all sorts of fab work just short of building me set-neck arch top semi hollows lol He is currently holding onto a 2000 EBMM Sterling fretless that I wanted to “restore”. Neck is beat on both sides, it was an instrument I rode...

Too sweet. What a great first bass. Hold onto it. Your tastes may diversify but you’ll always come back to a pbass. Leo got it right the first time.
