    Made In USA

    With all that's been said above: The Mesa Walk about is a great sounding amp! I don't own one but, I regularly test drive one at my local shop. The prodigy head is a thing of beauty as well. I myself try to support the whole "made in the USA" thing as well but, good gear is good gear no matter...

    Playing Country with Fender American Deluxe P-Bass

    I'm no pro but, I've used a Peavy cirrus 5 (active) and the last country gig I picked up, I used my Fender Jazz bass ( no PBass at the time ). I never get questioned on my preference of bass. However with your bass, I'd go passive P all the way maybe a little blend of the J pup. That's me...

    3 day old AVRI 74 Jazz goes dead after 3 hours into a practice

    I bought a AMSpecial Jazz when they first came out, 2 weeks in the damn thing became unplayable mid practice ( practice thankfully ). The bass just buzzed everywhere from 3 up... No amount of truss/saddle adjustment ( within reason ) would work. I know the OP's frustration. The only difference...

    NBD Reassembled a Fiesta Red Road Worn P many many Pictures

    Congrats, I have the burst version of this bass. It has aged well and plays great. Not gonna part with it anytime soon. The neck finish wears nicely. Mine has worn completely off from 3-9 , never mind the wear on the body. Great Basses.

    The little Short Scale Torzal 6-String that could - My Dream Bass in the making!

    Wow! Beautiful bass. The twisted neck/body has piqued my interest. Makes me wonder how you would work on the neck. Nicest bass I have seen in a long time. Totally original. Wish I had the scratch, I'd be all over ordering a bass like this.

    The Pedulla Club!

    Hello peddulla lovers! I'd love to know if my old thunder bass is still around and killing it!i had to let it go about 10 years ago and have regretted it every day. Don't have any pix handy but if anyone comes across an ET5 Thunderbass with a aaa curly maple top,neck through, serial # 4481, I'd...

    I borrwed a Friends of a Friends Bass Amp

    Being a former bass sniper, I found that rondo didn't sell the best amp for clipping pesky B notes. I went to the local auto shop and found that if I bought some bondo, and once applied to my recently foundo bass, that I could fill out the condo with toxic low end vapor. Don't be swayed by...

    Life Before Al Gore Invented the Internets......

    Funny, not the '60s but rather in the mid '80s I was at the Sears surplus store and there it was! My first bass, a no name, short scale, Kramer copy. I had to borrow the money from my mom. I played that thing for 2 years. Looking back it was a decent bass ( MIJ ) and for my birthday following...

    FENDER ROAD WORN P-BASS PICTURES...!!!

    Still love my RW P it's aged nicely. Will try to get some pix up. Mines a '09, I've added quite a lot of my own wear and tear. Can pretty much tell where I play on the neck as I've worn off most of the finish from the 2nd fret to the 8th fret. The neck has yellowed considerably, and the body is...

    Fender Steve Harris P Bass - Is it a fake Chinese copy?

    Take a look around on this site. Custom Gibsons for the same price as fenders. Me thinks: Fake. If one thinks of the name of the web site the first two letters can come up as China Manufactures .... Just sayin..
