Good day everyone. I'm thinking of buying a neck plate shim for my Fender Jazz Bass and I want it to be genuine, like the ones on Fender American Original 70s Jazz Basses. It costs $30 and I want to be sure it's an original Fender part. The description says it's original and condition is very...

well, I did it. and everything looks and sounds good! many thanks to all of you.

I thought of creating the template myself from the official Fender drawings of their basses which are available on their website. should work?

so there isn't any official guide for this, right?

Hello, I need help. I've recently bought a Fender Classic Series 70s Jazz Bass neck and realized that there's no templates or tips on how to drill a string guide hole on the headstock. I'm using the Fender Pure Vintage bass string guide and really don't want to eyeball it because I'm not sure...

Thank you all very much!

For example, just look at this. It's also a sunlight, but not direct. the body color looks almost like the neck. And it's the same bass from the photo I've shared before!

I think the room lighting is also responsible for color perception. On the sunlight body looks too different from a neck, but with artificial lighting they look pretty similar

so, very high chance that it's soft maple, right?

Idk, mine is Indonesian. Serial number starts with ICSB etc.

OMG I've missed that. Lol, it explains a lot. Thank you :D

If so, can you tell if it's soft maple or poplar? using a photo I've sent

Looks nice. I don't understand why they don't use that same "vintage tint" on the natural bodies though.

Here's a photo if it can help

And what's the soft maple? Haven't heard about it before

Hello there. I have a Squier CV 70s Natural Jazz Bass which was manufactured in February 2021. I've found out recently that now on Fender's official website the specs says that its body is made of Soft Maple. But when I bought it back in the 2021, I'm pretty sure there was a Poplar. So, what's...

thanks everyone. you helped me a lot.

hi there everyone. if I want to refinish a poly-finished bass into a nitro finish and I use a heat gun or an iron to get rid of an old finish, do I need to use a grain filler and a sanding sealer before applying a primer? or it's just needed only for bodies, that have never been finished? thanks...

hi there everyone. I've heard that if you want to paint a bass or a guitar with nitro paint, you need to use a primer. is it true? is it necessary for primer to be also nitro-based or an acrylic one is ok too? and if a nitro paint needs nitro primer and I can't find any in my town, can I use a...
