Maybe a silly question but, are pickups for righthand and lefthand basses the same or are they made/wound in a different way? Pickups usually have their brand´s logo in the low right hand corner and I do not know if the sound would be different if I take those pickups out and install them in a...

Hello Is there any mass production 4 string bass that has the string spacing of a 5 string bass? I mean 38mm nut, 16-17mm at the bridge but the strings are closer together all the way up the fibgerboard than in a "standard" 4 string. Do not know if i made myself clear. Maybe the Hofner violín...

Hello. Just got an Ibanez TMB35. Short scale, 5 string... great!!!! But the thing is right handed and I am lefty. To get a lefty 5 string short scale means spending 1.500€ in a custom made one or 225€ on this baby so... My question is about the nut. I have to turn the strings upside down and the...

hello everybody. If there is no sticker in the back the headstock, how can I know the country of manufacture? Some basses have the "made in China", some have the "made in Indonesia" but some others have nothing. Only the serial number. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone! I would like to buy a V7 four string and would like it to be Indonesian made. As I am a lefty I would have to buy online and without testing first. The photos on the dealer's web site show the back of the headstok and there is no sign of the country of manufacture. Only the serial...

Hello there! I have spotted a new Warwick Pro Series (Korean) Thumb Bolt-on 5 string at an absolutely bargain price and I am really tempted to buy, but the bass is a fretless and I already have a Corvette 5 fretless. The thing is that I also have a Corvette Pro Series 5 string fretted bass and...

thanks!

Hi everyone, I have used the search engine but I only seem to find threads about the subject the other way around, I mean, a jazz neck into a p body. I am lefty. I have a 2013 MIM Jazz that I seldom use. I really want to give the P bass neck a try (well, I would love to give the whole P bass a...

Hello! I have just bought a Fender Modern player short scale. Right handed. I am lefty but wanted to try the neck. I am going to put the neck into a lefty body and have two options: An SX jazz and a Fender MIM jazz. The SX neck pocket is perfect, but the bolt holes dont fit. I would need to...

In Spain you can get SX basses at Musicasa

Warwick Rockbass Corvette Short scale. Fantástico bass for the money and great sound

No chance I can get any of the short scale Fenders in lefty version and I really want one. Would you buy this righthanded one as a happy medium between the Squier Mustangs and the MIJ Mustangs?

Invalid Link Removed My next bass, only that in 32" and lefty. Absolute beauty. Takes regular and double ball strings

You say 2000 euros so I guess you are Europe based. Go to public-peace.de. Choose a model. They build every model in short scale. And you can customize almost everything. Mi fisrt option would be JCR, but its a bit more expensive. Saludos

Hi everyone!! I have found for sale a 78 Fender Precision Bass but I cannot test it, so I would like to ask you Fender experts if that was a good or bad year for Fender instruments. Maybe somebody can send me a link to another thread where this issue is discussed. The bass seems to be in very...
