    Squier Classic Vibe - Still best (or good) bang-for-buck?

    I'd be open to it for sure, but due to where I am with playing, I can't justify much more than a CV neck for the CV body. I've only had one MIM Fender, and it wasn't great. I have had three MIJ Fenders which had amazing necks, and my current CV neck was more on part with the MIJ Fender necks...

    Squier Classic Vibe - Still best (or good) bang-for-buck?

    Awesome, that's good to hear that QC is better. Thanks! And good to know on the Tribute Jazz. I'm just looking for a neck right now, but will check out G&L if/when I make another purchase.

    Squier Classic Vibe - Still best (or good) bang-for-buck?

    Hello all, I'm getting back into bass after a 5-10 year hiatus. The last bass purchase I made was a used Squier Classic Vibe Jazz bass, Made in China, 2008, which I love and has held up really well. I'm looking to actually get a neck for a CV P-Bass body I have, and was looking at some of the...

    Recommendations: P vs Mustang

    I bought Nordstrand pickups for one of my P-Basses at Best Bass Gear: Nordstrand Pickups They were above-and-beyond helpful in giving me recommendations!

    Recommendations: P vs Mustang

    Oh yeah, I agree they're worth the price, it's just that that price was above what I was able to spend at the time.

    Recommendations: P vs Mustang

    I may have to do just that... I've had some bad luck selling on eBay, so I tend to stay away from trying to sell the bass on my own as opposed to turn it in for credit towards a new one. And I know that TB members are light years better people to work with than some eBayers, but I'm still a...

    Recommendations: P vs Mustang

    It's a CIJ S-series, and according to the Fender dating page it is a 2006-08. We do a lot of rock spanning multiple decades, so it's nice to have a bass with flats and rounds. I'd keep rounds on it I think for song when I don't need a bass with flats. However, I may end up putting flats on it as...

    Recommendations: P vs Mustang

    Hi everyone, I have a bit of a dilemma, and I would like to tap into the wisdom here to try to solve it. Right now I have two 80s MIJ P-Basses, one with a rosewood board strung with flats and a Nordstrand pickup, and the another with a maple board. I've always wanted to have a Mustang...

    I did indeed, apologies for that! They have a mini one on there now, I don't think they had a normal or mini one the last time I checked. Thanks!

    Aftermarket Pick Guard for Jaguar Bass

    Apologies for that, it's working for me. Try this: http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/ Click on "Basses" up top, then there is a link on the right that says "Fender Jaguar Bass". Hope that works!

    Aftermarket Pick Guard for Jaguar Bass

    I have an Olympic White Jag with the tort guard. The only mod that I've done is the shielding tape mod because my Jag was one that hummed. I got my Jag in Oct. 2009, and I love it! If you're interested, here is a wonderful article about modding a couple Jags from Talkbass member johnk_10...

    500K all the way...for my PJ

    Huh, they work for me. The first two clips aren't plucked continuously which makes them a bit hard to hear, but the others worked perfectly for me! I'm listening through headphones as well, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

    500K all the way...for my PJ

    Does anyone happen to know of any before and after clips of the difference between 250K and 500K pots? I'm very curious about the difference! If not, that's ok, I plan on doing a comparison myself very soon. But if someone has done it already and recorded it that'd save me some money. Thanks!

    Replacement tuners for Fender MIJ

    I have a Fender MIJ from the 80s and couldn't find an exact answer, so I just checked the Gotoh and Hipshot sites for the dimensions they list and measured the screw holes for my bass. Also, Hipshot's technical service is pretty good, I've had really good luck emailing them about my...

    Sorry to go off topic a bit, but are the Res-o-lites direct replacements for Jaguars, or did you drill new holes? I'm also searching for new Jag tuners.

    Ashdown B15 Counter-Strike?!

    Don't know if anyone saw this in the Facebook photos, but the price for the UK is £1299.00, which translates to ~$2091.00. The people running the group page have been posting quite a few comments, so maybe they'll post prices for other areas, too. Here is the Facebook source for that number.

    NBD: Questions about 1980s MIJ Fender P Bass

    Ah, mine is vice versa, 57 is on the neck and 62 is on the body. So this is a "regular" model? By which I mean, not some reissue model? Pardon my ignorance, but it has a vintage-style truss rod adjustment at the heel with the Phillips head; when did Fender switch to the modern-style truss...

    NBD: Questions about 1980s MIJ Fender P Bass

    I found a deal on a MIJ E series P Bass that I couldn't pass up. I absolutely love it! I do have a couple questions, however. I did some research and I believe it is a 57 Reissue. The neck stamped PB-557, and the neck pocket on the body is PB-562 (I believe, it's been a few days since I...

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 3)

    Here is my contribution! 1984-1987 E Series MIJ P Bass. I traded in a 1999-2000 MIM P Bass Special for it. It's strung with Chrome flats, and I absolutely love it! It's light weight (or at least more so than the P Bass Special was) and I'm loving the sounds I get through my Ashdown head...
