So I have this Squier P-Bass that I've neglected for the past 6 years and now I've recently got an interest in restoring it being that it's in bad shape. Back when I first got (12 years old) it I tampered with its setup. I moved the saddles, I turned (and stripped) the truss rod but from using...

Might seem like a noobish question, but since my other basses have noise canceling pickups, I think my ignorance is forgivable. :) Whenever i pan the pickup blend knob to the bridge or neck pickup there's a buzzing noise. Is it a bad ground or is that the nature of single coil pickups? This is...

GC got back to me. They said "because of how long ago the repair was done, the best they can do is fix the bass at half off." No thanks. You only can make a good first impression once, and quite frankly, they failed at doing so. And I wouldn't want that same tech working on my bass if he's the...

As I stated earlier, I did not know squat about bass setups or repair and my church offered to pay for the service. You don't bring your guitar to get service done and expect to get it in worse or sub par conditions like in my situation. Unfortunately I found all of this out years after the...

I honestly can't remember, this was a number of years back.

Nothing at all! If i recall correctly maybe there was a slight popping from the jack but that's about it, so I thought he would just clean it up a bit, re-solder the connection, or even replace the jack. I was actually just expecting to get the action and intonation adjusted, hoping it would...

Here's what the pot looks like from inside Looks completely different from the rest of the pots. The solder job looks half-decent as well. I'm very disappointed in the quality of work the tech performed on my bass. This no way to represent the company you work for or even yourself. I will...

I have a Fender Deluxe J-bass that I've had for about 5 years. I used to play it every weekend at church and never really had any issues with it. One day my leaders had offered pay for getting my bass serviced and getting a routine maintenance at Guitar Center. So I gladly said yes and off it...

it's your preference......personally, i like to use my fingers than a pick because i like to show off my speed sometimes, but dont be bummed out only because someone says something like that, do whatever you want

but you dont understand, my bass DEFINETLY has bad action, i know because i dont even have to play it to notice the action. One of my friends that knows a lot about guitars told me that i have to do somthing about my action because it is ridicuously bad

"everyone could play bass because we pretty much only play one note at a time

dude, you're not the only one that has that view on Schecter...i personally think Shecters are crappy, they dont have good tone options. I think they're a waste of money...

i have a Schecter Diamond Series 5 string bass, nothing special...personally, i dont really like it; i cant get the tone that im looking for on it. This bass doesnt have the best tone variety/options. But then again, it depends what style music you play too. So, if you play Gospel/ Christian...

One of the basses that I own is a crappy Squier P-bass. I dont really use it anymore because i have a better bass now, but there are times that i want to use it just for fun. But the problem that I have with it is the neck and the action. Despite the number of times that i've tried adjusting it...

alright, well my name is wendell, my church is called Christian Fellowship Ministries (our church is spanish); our main service is located in Stamford, CT. I play the bass in the main service, and in another branch church in Bridgeport, CT. I've been playing the bass for 2 years and 1 month now...
