    Fender sticker on LICENSED Fender neck . . .

    Its not "getting back" at the owner; its not giving the owner free advertising. And I don't like the look of a blank headstock.

    Fender sticker on LICENSED Fender neck . . .

    Well, its a licensed Fender Jazz Bass neck made by "A-Hole." If Mr. A-Hole wasn't an A-Hole I'd have his name there. Blank headstocks look dumb to me. I don't know anyone who's a good enough artist to put my name on it. Who knows . . . I'm just weighing in. I may end up just leaving A-Hole on...

    Let the Debate Begin: I Swear I Hear Geddy Using A PICK Here! SIGNALS Content

    Mr. Lee does NOT use a pick. I've been seeing them in concert for 35 years and I've never seen him use a pick. However, I'd say his tone may sometimes suggest it. That said, it really doesn't matter. I used to play with a pick and played many Rush song in my HS days with a pick. I switched to my...

    Fender sticker on LICENSED Fender neck . . .

    There will be no next owner; I am aware that if one looks carefully they would know that it was a copy; However, it is a LISCENSED by Fender copy.

    Cannot understand why this didn't sell!!

    Its a Squire and you're asking too much; for around $800 one can find an American Standard J or P bass. They may be used but will retain their value much longer than a Squire.

    Fender sticker on LICENSED Fender neck . . .

    I built a couple of custom "Fender" jazz basses. One fretless the other fretted. I used top of the line parts. The necks and bodies were ordered from a company that is LICENSED by Fender to make Fender necks and bodies. The basses actually play and sound better than any "real" Fender. I also own...

    Warmoth has terrible customer service

    Those pearloid inlays are not yellow, they're pearoid. Mine are so yellow you can't see them.

    Warmoth has terrible customer service

    to Everyone. I never asked Warmoth for an exchange; I just brought to their attention that they should be a little more clear that YOU CAN'T GET WHITE PEARLOID INLAYS WITH VINTAGE TINT. You have to kind of read between the lines to figure this out; its not black and white unless you're an expert...

    Warmoth has terrible customer service

    I just built my second Warmoth J-Bass. My first one was fretless with ebony fingerboard; my new one is fretted with maple fingerboard. I had an issue with the inlays; I ordered white pearloid and I got yellow pearloid. The inlays are not just slightly faded yellow; they're so yellow you can't...
