Pickguard Heaven! https://pickguardheaven.com/product/pg-13052-fender-mexico-p-bass/

Hell yeah! I just got one of these as well and I love it. I didn’t like the pearl pickguard, so I put on a sparkly silver one that kind of creates a “two tone” effect.

I just sold a few unused basses and happened to venture into a Guitar Center over the weekend. I stumbled upon the silver sparkle P Bass and fell in love instantly. My band has been using instruments with sparkle finishes, so this was fortuitous. I put on a sparkly pickguard I had on another P...

Just in case anyone is curious, here are the parts I got to work: USB-C Power Bank Right Angle USB-C Cable for Power Bank Adapter for USB-C to 9V Power Input (Center Negative) (this came in a latching plastic box that can hold picks, so I velcroed it to the board) Low Profile, Right Angle USB-C...

New Anagram convert here. I held back on this because I am old and intimidated by digital stuff. Having said that, I can tell you that a mere two hour investment in YouTube tutorials can get you fully up to speed on how to make great use of this thing. I figured out how to replicate my entire...

Do you have a link for that USB-C to barrel tip adapter? I’m terrified of getting something wrong, like a center positive adapter that will fry my Anagram. Thanks!

I sure love the looks of that Thunder Jet! I looked for one for a while, but those are really rare. Do you like it? Would you recommend it for heavier music like rock or metal?

Can I raise this thread from the dead? Just got a 2005 Gibson Les Paul bass in Honey Burst. This thing sounds so darn good. Strong, bright tone with tons of sustain (maybe because it weighs a zillion pounds, lol). The neck is quite thick; probably more so than a P bass. The Hipshot GB7 X-tender...

Saturday night club show with the Rickenbacker:

What is that shield made out of?

Just put on a silver, glittery pickguard and some DR Red Devil strings on my 4003:

I had a gig this weekend and used the Terror 500 with two 112s. It was plenty loud enough (competing with two guitarists and a heavy hitting drummer) and sounded great in the mix. I can’t believe how light weight this rig is! Obligatory pic:

Easter Eve at the local dive bar:

Bringing the bling to my “stealth” Stingray: I got the pickguard and control plate from Pickguard Heaven.

Oh my. I stumbled upon a 2021 Fireglo 4003 for sale locally and was able to trade away a bunch of my unused gear to get it. It’s so pretty!

Seeing lots of purple basses in this thread, which makes me happy. Here’s me with my sparkly purple Ray34 playing on a covered patio during a torrential rain storm in Houston for a handful of brave souls who dared to leave home.

Feeling nostalgic today.

I’ve been accumulating some Darkglass pedals. I guess it’s time to join this club. Duality, B3K, and Vintage Ultra.

I just put amp-style knobs on this Stingray because I like to see how the EQ settings are pointed: And skull knobs on the Rickenbacker:

I made some leather pickguards for my Rickenbacker. But I ended up not using any of them after realizing a couple of issues. First, you really need to have some kind of rigid/stiff backing on the leather so that the guard will hold its shape (especially over cavities). Similarly, if you want to...

I just got the recordings we made at a recent rehearsal at which I was playing my SG, and I couldn’t stop smiling because of how much I loved how it sounded. I get angry every time I read some random comment out there about how SGs supposedly sound muddy and terrible. They do not! Put on some...

Friends: for too long I have been frustrated by the lack of a direct answer to the question, “which Hipshot X-tender can fit a Rickenbacker 4003 bass?” After doing my own research and testing, the answer is the Hipshot HEGC-3/8” Ultralite X-Tender. Because Hipshot does not manufacture a drop in...

I just picked up a nearly new Ibanez BTB705LM in a trade today. It is absolutely gorgeous and sounds so crisp and clean. The only downside I see in it is that it’s kind of heavy.

My XS-1 arrived today and I gave it a quick test drive. I am quite impressed and I’m so happy I got this pedal. If I am listening for it I can hear a faint sound of artifacts, but with just a little overdrive in the chain it disappears.

That is exactly the same reason I felt like I need this pedal. My band has three female vocalists, all of which have lovely voices, but slightly different comfortable ranges. Being able to switch keys on the fly during rehearsals will really help with dialing in the best key for each song and...

I was so fascinated and intrigued by this pedal that I ordered one last night. It just seems to have so much utility. Super excited to get it on Friday and use it at my next band rehearsal on Saturday.

Well, I pulled the trigger on this guy and brought it home. The first thing I did was put on a crappy nylon strap so I could see how bad the neck dive would be. I was astonished to find that there is none! Proof:

I dropped by a Guitar Center to kill some time this afternoon and was surprised to see that they had one of these hanging on the shelf (I didn’t think they’d been released into the wild just yet). I have a few observations: It sounded really good to me; almost P bass territory in tone. I...

Hey Jackson bass fiends: what do y’all think about this new, limited edition, Randy Rhoads style bass: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/jackson-x-series-rr-b-iv-limited-edition-electric-bass-guitar/m19505000001000

I just replaced the stock, white pickguard with a black one. I have to say, at least to me, the sexiness factor just went way up. I can’t stop looking at it!

Quick question for you TBird gurus: would you recommend moving the strap buttons? I’ve seen people make two changes that look interesting: (1) on the bottom/bridge side: moving the button several inches above the body centerline; and (2) moving the button from the back (where a bolt on neck...

Thank you for the reminder! I briefly owned an Epiphone TBird many years ago, so that must have been when I applied. I just installed a set of EB cobalt flats on this thing and WOW! This is the sound I’ve been hearing in my head for so long, finally materialized. I’m so happy!

I suddenly find myself in possession of a Gibson Thunderbird! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time, but could never find one locally for a decent price. I was in Dallas for a work event today and saw one listed on Facebook Marketplace for a price so low I could not resist ($1,200). It’s a...

Thanks! I feel whole again, haha. I also feel like there should be way more than 70 members of this club. MM SUBs are so awesome!

My one minor quibble with this bass has been the lack of center detentes on the EQ knobs (I’m never quite sure where they’re set without rolling all the way up or down). I just installed some chicken head knobs to make it easier to see. They fit the rugged vibe for which the SUBs are known, as...

I had a really cool custom pickguard made for my Rickenbacker 4003 bass, which incorporated a high res photo of my patch vest. After installing it, I felt like the plain, white truss rod cover didn’t match to my liking. We all know that it is impossible to buy replacement truss rod covers from...

Here you go!

Currently evaluating which internal organs I could offer on the black market to fund the purchase of that Showtime flavored ‘Ray. Wow!

I’ve made many mods to my Rickenbacker 4003: Babicz bridge RickySounds thumbrest Removed bridge pickup cover and replaced it with a Treble Bezel Custom pickguard (it’s a high def picture of my beloved patch vest) Skull knobs, lol I did the “RWRP” mod on the bridge pickup to reverse the...
