Looking at buying a used Peavey MAX 150. Can anyone comment firsthand on their experiences with this amp? The one I’m considering appears brand new and the current owner is a six string player so the MAX has had little use. Also, which model Peavey foot switch comes with the MAX 150? This one is...

Fender Jazz - maple fretboard; two-tone sunburst body. Need ideas on the best looking pickguard for this combination - except white or white pearl. Any favorites that look great?

I'm looking at a USA made, early 90s Peavey Fury - their P-Bass clone and wondered if anyone might comment on their experience with this guitar. It appears to be in great shape. Just wondering if there's anything to be wary of with this model.

I just restrung my Jazz and decided to freshen up the fretboard a bit with a light coating of bore oil that I used to use on my Strats. I applied it sparingly, then rubbed it in by hand until it was fully absorbed, wiped off any excess with a clean paper towel and fitted the new strings. I...

I'm suddenly intrigued with the the idea of picking up an original Hofner or the best clone I can afford. I tried the "Icon" and it felt like junk. Is there another decent choice I'm overlooking here?

I need to lower the action on my MIM Jazz. Is it okay to drop the saddle height while the strings are under tension, or is it best to detune first?

Can't find any description of this color. It's definitely not Olympic White.

I have a very nice MIM Jazz Deluxe and need some opinions on set-up. The action is nice and low from the fifth fret on down, but from there it gets much higher. By the ninth fret, it's way too high for my liking. Further up it's nearly impossible for me to play. There doesn't appear to be any...

Anyone know where I can find tabs on MJ's Billie Jean? I'd like to be able to play that but it's a little too out there for me to figure out with a total of 90 days bass experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My MIM Fender Jazz Deluxe needs a new pickguard. How about antique pearl? Any ideas? I'll also be installing a chrome F ashtray at the same time, along with a set of new flats.

Can anyone confirm the size hole to drill for a standard Fender pickguard screw? I'll be mounting a bridge cover soon and want to be sure I drill the correct size holes!

I'm ready to mount a genuine Fender chrome ashtray-style bridge cover on my J-bass and wondered if anyone had a nice close-up pic of how far forward to mount this thing to get a "factory job" when I'm finished. Any comments would be greatly appreciated as well.

I just picked up a genuine Fender chrome ashtray bridge cover for my J-Bass. Can anyone confirm the correct size and length of screws to mount this thing? I'd rather not guess if there's good information out there. Many thanks...

I realize how stupid this must sound, but can anyone explain why most "thumb rests" are located below the strings? Seriously, how can you rest your thumb on that thing and still play? I've only seen a couple mounted above the strings (where it obviously should be). Am I missing something here?

Does anyone know where I can find a factory screw hole template for mounting the genuine Fender "F" chrome bridge cover on a J-bass? The cover arrived today but I just don't feel right taking a drill to my J without knowing for dead certain where to put those holes. Any help would be greatly...

Can anyone confirm if the genuine Fender chrome "F" bridge cover for a Jazz bass will work with a Bad Ass II bridge? I have the cover and was thinking of upgrading to the BAII, but I don't want holes in my guitar if the cover won't fit over the Bad Ass. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just got a veeeery nice J-bass and would like to put a genuine Fender ashtray-style cover over the bridge. Is there a best or preferred source for factory replacement parts?

:hyper: Just brought home this 2007 MIM Deluxe Series J-Bass that I picked up in a small, local shop for $345. It's in mint condition - not a mark anywhere - and it plays perfectly! This guitar is waaaay better than the MIM P-Bass I had a while back (a 1998 model). Came with a Fender custom...

I just sold my P-bass without the case - a brand new, Fender custom molded HSC. Tomorrow, I may go buy a very nice Jazz that I found for sale locally. Can anyone confirm if my P-bass case will accommodate a Jazz?

Here's the deal...just sold my MIM P-bass and there's two contenders to replace it - a perfect '96 American Jazz and an equally perfect Music Man Stingray 5-string. I really wasn't thinking 5-string because honestly, I still pretty much stink at this point as a bass player (coming over from...

I just sold my MIM P-bass and am looking for my next one. For some reason, I'm drawn to the Warwick Thumb (4-string) so I thought I'd tap the collective wisdom here and ask if anyone can contrast the P-bass to the Warwick. I have no experience with them whatsoever and would prefer not to make an...

I may have busted my nut, so I'm looking for options in the aftermarket that would be considered an upgrade over the stock bone nut on my MIM P-Bass. Any recommendations?

Having played bass for less than a week now, I just put a new set of strings on my MIM P-Bass and discovered the A string is dead. With the guitar in tune, I can lift it completely out of the nut. Is that normal? What did I do wrong here?

I realize this question has probably never come up in here, but I'm a long time 6-string player who's always wanted to play bass. Last night, I found a MIM P-Bass that looks great and wanted to ask...having owned many American Strats and Teles, will I regret not buying an American P-Bass...

I'm a long time 6-string player who's always wanted to play bass. Last night, I found a MIM P-Bass that looks great and wanted to ask...having owned many American Strats and Teles, will I regret not buying an American P-Bass? Blindfolded, how can I tell the difference? Any info would be greatly...
