    Have you ever tripped with your bass?

    Yes. I was playing my old MIJ EB3 copy at our band's practice space. We sounded great. I mean really great. I then made the following bad decisions: 1. Thought that jumping on top of my amp and then back off would be really cool. 2. Forgot that instead of my old 3,200 lb monster rig...

    Short Scale Basses

    A short scale Stingray is genius! I'm in the planning phases for for my first build (decent woodworking experience, but no instruments), and I really want to build a short scale. I'm having trouble understanding how to plan out the neck and fretboard. Did you have a "go-by" for the short...

    SOLD FS: Fender Jazz V (MIM)

    Hi Camardelle: Thanks for the interest. 1. Whoever sanded the bass went all the way through the paint/finish. It looks like they then tried to cover over what they did with some matching paint of some kind. Why the previous owner did this, the world will never know. 2. The bass is...

    SOLD FS: Fender Jazz V (MIM)

    Dr. Cheese: I put this up with the idea of selling only, but your trade offer has me curious... I'll have to think about it, and see if I get any purchase offers.

    SOLD FS: Fender Jazz V (MIM)

    Up for sale is my MIM Fender Jazz V in midnight wine. Bass sounds great, but I've come to grips with the fact that I'm just not a five string player (at least for now). As you can see in the photos, a previous owner sanded off some of the finish near the forearm cut. I have no idea why he...

    F/T Fender Jazz V MiM

    Right now looking for trades only. It's always easier to justify adding new gear at the same time, rather than letting the "boss" get used to one less bass around the house... I've also got cash to add, if someone is willing to trade something fancy.

    Bumping this back onto the market. I love the sound, but still can't get my mind around having an extra string!

    Bassists look too bored...

    I try to be relatively non-boring on stage. Maybe even toss in a jump or two, just to see how it feels. When the songs are good (and not too hard to play!) it's fun to rock out. Link Removed [video evidence of attempts at non-boring bass playing]

    F/T Fender Jazz V MiM

    Hello TB, I'm looking to trade my Fender Jazz V. I played it for a while and loved the sound, but I'm just not ready to make the jump from 4 to 5 strings. One issue with the bass is for some reason a previous owner sanded through the finish on the right hand cut-out on the body. I have no...
