I love these basses. I got mine back in april of 07 before they were even starting to be popular, and i just loved it. Sadly, my combo amp fell on the neck on the way to a gig... Damage was irreversible. Its retired with no strings on it. I just loved it. I think its great that they havent...

Waiting for laundry to get done today, and said "eh , why not try the screwdriver method?" Worked like a charm! Thanks a ton guys. If i had the new nut here, id be jammin! Question: will i be able to "feel" when ive gotten past the point of screwing on the new nut, and gotten into truss...

My bad, its a rounded socket. The bass has literally been sitting 5 years, when i bought it the neck had just the smallest, perfect amount of relief . But the old strings that had been sitting on there were loose. When i took them off, gave the bass some tlc, and put on a new set of rotos and...

So i picked up a 2006 mim p bass for 250 off of craigslist. Everything is nice about the bass, except...stripped truss rod. A quick google search let me know that stewmac has tools for removing worn truss nuts/ adjusting "fixed"nuts , no matter how stripped. My question is, does my bass have...

Listen to zeppelins entire "how the west was won" cd set, and you get new respect for bonham. He played loud, hard, and in time. Stamina for DAYS. Carter is probably the "better" drummer, but bonham effin' R.O.C.K.E.D. A wild animal on the drums, but in a controlled way. Again though, apples...

That thing needs to be on the cover of "Dang!" magazine.

Yeah, i get a signal (garageband) just fine if i plug straight into the i/o dock. I was just hoping i could run it through my amp first to give me a better tone/ more eq options. If not, i guess ill have to settle. It would be really nice to see them come out with even just a few bass amp...

Man, that bass is so cool, its ridiculous! I clicked on this thread because i am actually planning on picking up my first p-bass on friday! Super excited. I do have a question though. I have a set of Schaller tuners and a gotoh 201 bridge that i used to have on my VM jazz. Does anyone know...

I've got an alesis i/o dock for my ipad, and am well aware that you can plug your bass straight into the dock. However, i just recently got a new amp (eden nemesis) with a recording out. So, i bought an unbalanced XLR to TS cable hoping that i could run my bass through the amp first, then from...

Honest question: are you guys suggesting the 1-2-4 fingering in only certain instances, or all the time? When practicing scale positions, i always adhere to the one finger per fret rule. To leave out "3" seems almost counterintuitive. Just wondering ! :) Also, OP, I am 5' 9" , and my hands are...

Bought a fender mustang bass back in '07. I was 17, and irresponsible with money, so the loan I took out to buy the bass had to be paid off ...by selling the bass. :( Now, 5 years later, I'm probably going to get the Mikey Way signature or the squier VM version because I'm older, have bills to...
