Anybody experienced problem with neck being too stiff and straight? If I load it with 45-130 it gets perfect with truss rod completely loose and raised saddles . But any lighter set and you can't raise the strings off the frets. Neck is laminated, 5 pieces maple/mahogany, and besides being too...

Hello, I hope this is a right place for this kind of topic. Apologize if not... Anybody have experience with this kind of finish? Would it be possible to remove it without taking too much from the surface in order to refinish in clear natural? Tanks

Hi.... LH500 owner here... Looking for other users experiences in terms of limits of this amp... Did you managed to push it to overdrive and at what volume? What is your experience, how eq section affects reaching the overdrive? To me, this master volume seems to act in extreme logarithmic...

Hi all, I got 2011 Fender Jazz Bass American Deluxe 5, one of those with 21 frets, being made from 2010 to 2016, with slightly modified body shape. It came in some broken aftermarket case, and I'm looking to order a Fender case like this one... Invalid Link Removed It says "for most jazz...

String action is set as low as possible, according to Fender instructions, with minimal neck relief. Plucked string is ringing fine, without buzz, open or fretted, all along the neck, even when I hit hard, so I guess there is no problem with action being too low. Problem is with other 3...

Another completely subjective question, I know, but if you have to choose one of these to achieve nice, warm, vintage blues and rock tone, yet to be loud enough using single box, which one would you pick? markbass std 151hr tc electronic rs210 (gonna be paired with marbass littlemark 3, at...

I got an EBS NEO112 that is producing a lot of distortion on some reasonable, working gain levels. Distortion is most pronoinced around D string E note up to A note while it might be noticed on some of the higher notes also. It sounds like something in it is badly resonating, although enclosure...

So, in short, based on your experience, if you have to choose between these two: Traveller 121H Traveller 151P ... for using them alone with lets say LittleMarkIII for some more traditional, vintage kind of vibe, which one would you choose? I have previous experience with 121H combo and i...

If I would like large C neck size model Precision, what period or specific year should I be looking for? I almost grabbed one 77/78 beautiful natural ash/maple, but it is being thinner than current production models. Are all 70s models same sized? Also, are all 50s and 60s C size? As reference...

Leaning towards nice, useful, vintage tone, as on 60s and 70s RnB recordings, I started from searching for a pedal and then found this for a pretty neat price. Now I can't find it locally for tryout so... All of you that have played it, would you recommend it for clean, warm, and punchy, maybe...

I need audio interface for home practice and demo recordings. Something basic, one instrument input is enough. I would like to avoid compromises and get something without latency, background noise, driver and compatibility issues,... With trully enjoyable sound quality. Usability of OEM software...

Hi, Got the couple of nice 3 ply blanks and i would like to make some custom shaped pickguards for my bass. I have an idea for cutting, finishing and beveling, but I'm still missing how to start, how to take the precise outline from body contour and put it onto plastic? I'm thinking about...

I'm curious what have happened with the Classic 450, simplified, thus more desirable version of well praised TC Electronic head? Are there any issues with them which I'm not aware of, or they are discontinued only because people prefer shiny, blinking things?

I'm looking for some dead quiet solution for home jamming and practicing without disturbing anyone around. Looking through the internet i can say that small, portable interfaces are now the thing and I might say it's nice to have play along possibility, with modeling and recording. Problem is...

Some guys here claims that routing on their Classic 60s is done through the body, no nasty holes up front, so the scratch plate can be removed nicely. I was doing some basic maintenance the other day, removed the plastic only to find this: Now how do you call this? a sound hole? smuggler's...

I’ve noticed some kind of sizzling noise coming from my amp. It’s not loud, and it doesn’t coming through the speaker. Sounds like occasional short electrical discharge, high pitch "zzzzp" from time to time. Doesn’t affect sound of the amp, at least so far it doesn’t. It's an old Gallien Krueger...

Seeing these two opposite approaches in some interviews and theory texts, I’m not sure what either means. Ok, melodic is a bit clearer, it should be something similar to what vocals do, but what are characteristics of “contra” playing?

My main concern here… Is a 12”, 120W keyboard amp like Roland KC-350 capable to deliver low frequencies of 5 string bass like some decent bass combos of similar size and price? Idea is to use it as convenient, portable poweramp/cabinet combined with my bass preamp/toneshaper for...

There is no way I can often use couple hundred watts amp+cabinet for practicing in my apartment. But still, I plan to use amp head DI for home recording and practicing with my headphones. Is it absolutely necessary to connect speaker load prior turning the amp on? It’s a hybrid type of amp...

As I plan to install new controls and wiring on Jazzbass type passive bass, have some thoughts, and maybe I'm into something... *Traditional 250k pots leaks hi frequencies because their low resistance. In that manner, volume pots are doing some tonal changes. They called it "warming" the...

I have recently discovered this thin crack on the headstock. It starts from small tuner screw and cuts through half the thickness of the headstock. (click to enlarge) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Not a problem at the moment, but if it continue to spread it can ruin perfectly good...
