If you're not even happy with it in the "honeymoon phase," you're probably never going to be happy with it. Applies to basses, guitars, and first wives.

I've seen flamed Sapele that looks like this...not sure though...

The only "band," I've played in, I was...let's say "out-experienced," by 30+ years. I was in my early-mid 20's and played with my girlfriend's (at the time) dad and his buddies. They had been an off/on again group for years and years, and basically just got together and played once a week. We...

I went ahead and ordered a couple sets of the lightest Pressurewounds from GHS. The TI Jazz Rounds sound interesting...I'll have to do some more research before dropping that much on them though lol That being said, if anyone currently has the TI Jazz Rounds installed and feels like sharing a...

Damn, I knew I'd mix up names lol...yes DR, not GHS my bad. I have played the Pressurewounds in the 44-102 (I knew it was an oddball size) and love them...thinking I should just get the 40-96 and be done :) Thanks for your reply too.

Thank you for your response...that actually tells me quite a bit, and I have a set of 45-100 EXL170's on right now. They aren't bad at all, but I really do like that 40-100 sizes or even slightly lighter. I feel like the EXL170's feel and sound very similar to the Fender 7250L's...which I have...

Looking to try a couple of different strings...going to order from Strings-By-Mail...and want to get my money's worth on shipping lol They are going on my Ibanez SR500E by the way. My current favorites are Fender 7250L 40-100, and GHS Pressurewound 43-103 (I think is the size). I want to try...

I got this awesome SR500E yesterday and it is pretty awesome! I quickly found that I wanted some kind of thumb-rest or finger-ramp for it. I didn't want to pay out the arse for one...and frankly I liked how the "ramp," on my EHB1000S was...not radiused, more of a thumb-rest/finger-stop than a...

Figured I'd share my new Squier 40th Ann. Vintage in Satin Dakota Red... I pulled the pickups/guard/guts and put them on my CV60's Sonic Blue, and put in a tort guard with upgrades guts and an SD QP. I love the neck so much, I just bought another 40th Vintage neck off Reverb to put on my...

Ah, well I purchased it off of Reverb from the original owner. He purchased it new July 2022 though. I'm not sure what lead times are from Sandberg...

Came in today! Feels/sounds/plays awesome. I'm so glad I took a chance and ordered one! (Took a chance as-in, they aren't really available locally, so I had never played one before buying)

I figured since I spent the money on a Sandberg...I needed a REAL bass amp. I currently play through a Yamaha THR10, either on its own or as an interface running Guitar Rig 5. I'll probably still use this for the majority of playing at home, but I wanted the option for something bigger and to...

I don't really know what else to say about this bass, other than "WOW." I feels amazing, sounds even better! It is incredibly fun to play too! Sandberg VM 4 Nighthawk!

I have a question for you guys, or if someone can guide to the place to find answers, I would greatly appreciate it! I am trying to find out build specifics to Sandberg....like are the finishes nitro? If so, are they all nitro, or just certain models? Also interested in finding more about the...

I don't think you can go wrong with either. Yamaha basses are great...all the way down to the BB234 which I owned. I did upgrade the hell out of it with tuners, bridge, and GZR PJ set, but it didn't NEED any of that. I really like Schecter basses more than their guitars for sure. The quality...

Yep!

Aww man I went and did something...hopefully not stupid lol Da*m you Julia Hofer and your beautiful Sandbergs!

I guess I didn't consider that most bass combos are analog, and most guitar combos are now digital...but then again, I have high gain tube heads that has a USB out on them... However, almost everyone missed the whole part where I mentioned for "at home players/simple recording." I don't play...

I was just looking at bass combos and realized that there are very few that come with USB connectivity to record straight to a computer. I understand there are other options, but for home players and simple recordings, I find the USB connectivity that is on most solid-state guitar combos is...

How do you like the 0.1uf? I just went with 0.047 because that's what most come with (or so I read), but I'm not against trying others. I bought the pots and cap in a kit for <$20. It came with a Switchcraft, but I already had the PureTone so I kept that in there. I didn't really look for...

Installed some new guts in my CV60's PB recently, thought it turned out pretty nice (my soldering used to look like an armless blind man did it) :)

@sulliman an example: a 250k pot with a tolerance of +/- 10% can be anywhere from 225k to 275k in reality works the same for tone cap values I believe

Your wife is a saint! (For a very brief moment, I thought you were Tim Curry :roflmao:)

Somehow, I missed this thread when I posted in the Fender P-Bass Club...but this is more appropriate :) I picked up this CV60's Limited Run Sonic Blue P-Bass from GC the other day and OMG I can't believe how killer this is...not even just "for the price." I did swap the pickguard today...

Squier's ok in here? Just picked up this CV60's P in Sonic Blue and it's just gorgeous!

I took my Harley Benton JB75 into my local GC today. I ordered it to see if the Harley Benton's were as good as people claimed. The short answer is yes, they are quite good. Easily on par with the CV line. Unfortunately, the model I got was Ash body...not swamp ash. It weighed 11lbs. 5oz. It was...

I got this in today, put pressure-wounds on it, and haven't put it down!

I thought that the Fender Rumble was the best "low-ish" cost amp that I liked...I had a 100 combo, but it was way more than I needed, so I sold it and I've just been playing through my THR10. However, I recently plugged a Player Plus Jazz Bass into the Acoustic 100C and 50C, and holy crap...

Did you get it yet? I ordered one this week and it's coming to Indiana...curious how long yours took...

I'm here to enlist...:laugh: My Ibanez EHB1000S..

These look awesome. I remember about 10 years ago or so, they did a reissue Wilshire Pro electric 6 string and I always loved the look and body shape...it's very similar to these. I need to check one of these out soon!

I added a matte black decal on my pink 1000S :)

Yeah, my full-size Snark worked fine too, but looked huge on there...I was wanting a descreet solution, and BassikLee's suggestion is great!

And I think I went too small HAHA! I got like 50 of them for $5.00 and they are 6mm across and 2mm thick. I ended up grinding the nub off, and used super glue, gluing 3 of them on it in a line so it's grabbing in multiple spots to keep it from spinning around. It's working great! Honestly with...

@BassikLee Got my tuner and magnets in today...I haven't ground off the nub, because the nub kind of fits in-between the pieces on the back of the "headstock." However, I will grind it off, and place a second magnet to keep the whole thing from spinning on the one magnet. This is a great...

Ferrous Bueller....a classic!
