    New "FENDER DIRECT" article

    It's a small family business. I've seen instruments stay in there for at least two years. Even if they sold half in a reasonable amount of time that still leaves $15000 stuck on a wall for a few years. That's taking up space they could have for other instruments to sell. I'm sure they'd rather...

    Well they've been a fender dealer for at least 20 years and this was just for one order this year. If they don't sell then it's a loss to them

    New "FENDER DIRECT" article

    It's just ridiculous I don't get why they don't see what sells best in each store to maximize profit. There's not To many people in my area that wanna drop $1500 on a bass. My store sells a lot of lower end basses and I mean like the $200-400 range. I don't think fender even let them order a squire

    Shipping insurance?

    I don't remember the exact amount but it was less than $100. I had it restored and they sent it back through fedex for $74. They valued it for at least $12000 when they shipped it back so it's not to expensive. That was a year and a half a go so the prices may have changed slightly. Let them do...

    Choosing a bass ( help )

    Get an ibanez sr 505 or 755 they fit all your criteria. I've played top of the line warwicks and I can say those ibanez basses are way better. They're inexpensive I think a new 505 is like $500-600 at musicians friend. I had a 505 for a few years at church and it sounded good in any type of song...

    Pardon my ignorance

    What's the shiny stuff on the back of my pickguard? I switched out pickguards and the old one had the material on the back but the new one doesn't. Is this stuff necessary ?

    Will adjusting string height help me?

    I just got it yesterday from fender and none of my other basses had places to adjust truss rods. So I'm not sure exactly how to set it up right. The strings are about a quarter of an inch above the pickups not sure if that's the normal height.
