My Kramer Baretta has been set perfectly with just one exeption. One irritating fret buzz in the 16th fret A string and D. All the other frets are fine but these two. The 16th E and G are fine but these two are just nuts. Should I get the fret leveled?

Am I the only one having trouble with Rotosound's string tension here? They are quite hard getting used to because I started with Chromes before them. Is having super tight tension normal for Rotosounds?

I love my Flying V Basses! My lower end dean doesnt sound good at all but I love how I play stainding up! I can actually reach all the frets without looking like a knob. Too bad I dropped it while I was in pissed off at someone... So far I have 3: Dean Metalman Flying V (In ER right...

I have been memorizing scales everyday now for the past few months but honestly I have no clue how to use them. Can anyone elaborate? (Sorry I'll add more tommorow. I am too tired right now haha)

My bass literally burnt my skin and left a mark! I was sitting down playing my bass in my chair and I dropped a pencil on the floor. I leaned over to reach it with my forearm dampening my strings (Because it hums when nothing is touching it). I then felt a pinch. I thought I got a...

Well my co worker who is 43 asked me if I wanted to "hang out" with her sometime. I am 19. Why would a 43 Y/O divorced mother of 2 want to hang out with a 19 y/o kid? She has been coming on too me for months and I honestly am just noticing things now because I am quite naive to these...

Quick Question: Can I use an Aerodyne J Bass neck on MY MIM P bass? Thanks

I got these with my P bass when I bought it and I just absolutely love them! Heres some pics: Anybody knows? I was guessing D'Addarios Chromes because of the ball ends but I am not sure. I need a second opinion before I buy. Thanks!

I just installed my brass nut, hipshot tuners and a BAII in my P bass today. I get super annoying fret buzz in my bass ONLY in the A String. I get it worse when I press anywhere an octave up. Why is this happening? If it helps I have pretty thick rotosounds on. Steve Harris model...

(Mods: I am sorry, but I dont know where to put this thread but please move if its in the wrong place!) I decided I want to have a natural bass finish on my Bass with a black binding (Or at least painted on like Steve Harris) I remembered how much I really like Jon Donais's Washburn...

Well I work in a Deli and i had to clean the slicers for cheeses. I clean the blade by letting it spin freely and spray on a degreaser. Well as he blade was still spinning I accidentally touched the blade. It ripped off a chunk off the callouse (sp?) and some off my meat in my finger. It...

I just installed my SPB3 pickups in my P bass today but I get a pretty loud hum when I have the tone full blast. If I get a chance I'll get a sound clip. Is that normal for these pickups? Thanks

...SUCK! I put these on my SX Jazz and honestly I am not enjoying them one bit. I've been playing my SX for a few weeks now with these strings installed and thier brightness never seems to fade. In fact they are very similar to the stock d'addarios the SX came with. Just with a slightly...

I am looking for a very bright string for my Jazz. What do you guys recommend?

You know when you have an old stereo system or an old TV it makes this 1..2..3 static noise? Its the most annoying thing ever! I'll try to get a sound sample if I can) Well my Ampeg occasionally does this. Would this mean I need new speakers? Or do I have to refresh the electronics and such?

I've been playing for 6 months now but I have been reading tabs (D'OH!) I am attempting ear training. I started with the Ramones first album because you could hear the bass more than anything else and I got the whole album in one 2 hour sitting. I then decided to give some Iron Maden tunes...

For some odd reason I get crazy fret buzz on my SX jazz on the open A and D strings. And same strings with frets 1 - 9. I set my truss rod 1/4 a turn counter clockwise to raise the action a bit but I still get buzz! The only way for me to get none is to have the saddles set maximum...

I am having trouble with reaching higher frets with my pinky on my bass. Specifically E and A strings. I have rather small hands (4.5 knuckle to tip of middle finger) but I dont feel comfortable playing with the strap too high so its a bit low but not much (The upper horn on my P bass is...

Ok I decided to make my bass fretless but now I regret it. I used wood filler after I removed all the frets. Now it all looks really ugly. After I sanded it I can still feel some grooves in the frets? I sanded like crazy with 200 grit sandpaper then 400 to make it smooth. Is that normal...

I have a late 80's Aria Pro II XRB series bass and I need help with adjusting the truss rod. My strings are way too high and when I lower them by the bridge I get an insane amount of fret buzz. So I am decided that the truss rod needed adjusting. When I took off the neck to adjust the...
