    @blablas With which tools have you managed to make the cavities so nice and clean?

    Turning a Harley benton PB-Shorty into a JB-Shorty.

    Hello @blablas Nice job. I'm thinking about turning my Shorty PB into JB or PJ. I don't have much of a tool to do it with, so the result may not be as clean as the work you have done. A question = What type of tool did you use to make the hole to pass the pickup wire through the wood? I...

    Hondo 8200 Fame

    Hello, I own this bass since 1986. I was thinking in changing the pick ups in order to upgrade the bass. Do you think it has sense or the quality is good enough ? What I will do soon is to change the electronic, CTS pots, jack, etc... I already did it with a Harley Benton JB20, it's very easy.

    Rebel Vintage 60 P Bass Pickup set

    Hello I have the opportunity to buy these pick ups. (Second hand ). I looked for review on the Web without success. Does anybody know them ? The idea is to use them to upgrade a P bass, in that case I will also redo the electronic. Thanks Regards

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    Basically what I didn't like is the neck, it seems too fat, I'm looking for a bass with the narrowest neck possible, the Mikro meets this requirement. The sound of the Talman is fine nothing to complain about

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    when buying a bass guitar, I will always try as far as possible to buy it in a physical shop. I spent almost an hour in each shop (two different shops) trying short scale basses, and other basses as well (to try : Fender US, Marcus Miller, etc....). It's nice that there are people there to give...

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    This week I have been able to test : Cort Action Junior, Ibanez Talman, Ibanez Mikro. I didn't like the Talman, and between the Action Junior and the Mikro, I prefer the Mikro, aesthetically I like it more, rounder shapes, its neck is narrower and makes it more pleasant to play. I will...
