    Breathing new life into my Squier.

    I know there are probably countless threads on this topic, so I apologize. So, I'm left with the familiar dilemma of what to do with my learning instrument, a Squier P-bass. I was hoping that you guys could help me add to the list of possibilities for breathing some new life or unique usage...

    Bass guitars are really ugly.

    Am I the only one that finds most basses horrendously ugly? All these basses that people post here as being beautiful I find to be either really gaudy or lame. Take the colors a Fender P-Bass Special/Delixe come in for example. Red with gold pickguard? Ewww. I own a P-bass and a Stingray...

    Half-stack for a student.

    I'll be heading off to college within the next year and want recommendations for a new amp. Right now all I've got is a little Fender Rumble 15 practice amp and I want something that will not only do my new Stingray justice but also will be jamable, gigable, and space-efficient. This is because...

    Brand of strings found on Michael Kelly acoustic basses?

    I've got a Firefly and have always hated the stock strings that were on it but have yet to replace them. I want to find out what brand they are so that I can avoid them like the plague when buying new acoustic bass strings. So, does anyone know what brand Michael Kelly uses for their stock...

    Identify this little pink acoustic bass.

    I went to a benefit concert with local bands on Friday and one of the bands' bassist was playing this little pink acoustic. Can someone identify it? It's possible that it's custom painted.

    Replacing pickups

    I'm considering buying some new pickups to give my bass some new life. I'm wondering how difficult it is to replace pickups, if there's soldering required, and if a total know-nothing like myself could do it. Thanks in advance.

    Opinions on volume of acoustic basses, specifically the Firefly and Playmate?

    I ordered a Michael Kelly Firefly the other day, and browsing around recently I have the feeling that I am going to be disappointed. The reason I wanted an acoustic bass was so that when I went away for regattas(sailing races) I could hang out on the dock or beach between rotations and jam with...

    Large blisters on my plucking hand.

    Hey, I've been playing bass for about four days. Yesterday, I developed these on my plucking fingers: I've been playing with a pick in the meantime, but I don't like it nearly as much and constantly get the urge to use my blistered fingers. This has lead them to get bigger and bigger...
