    I can't seem to find a good price on it. I'm selling it soon but all burners that I find are ksd. This is a 93 ken smith. Any Smith experts out there?....

    Any suggestions on what color I should paint my Gibson Grabber??

    It's completely stripped so painting it or even doing a maple or buckeye top is all par for the course. Best idea wins an e cookie and I will be posting pictures. Anyone have any any good (or not so good ideas?) Me and my buddy have a full shop at our disposal

    Any owners out there know what the radius is? I've heard 12" I've heard 15" ?? Bonus points if you know the string spacing at the bridge and nut

    Posting this again now that I am an official supporting member :) Ok so its a custom shop as per the stamp on the head stock. And it's ebony fingerboard And a crazy flame maple neck.

    Gibson Grabber vs. Ripper

    These basses were both made at the same time so are the bodies and neck profiles the same? Or is it like a jazz bass and p bass where body and neck are different. Does a 75 Grabber neck feel the same as a 82 grabber neck? Basically what are the differences between these basses that is not...

    flex core preamp AND emg p/j x . p pup is way louder than j

    The p pup on my bass has way to much power compared to the j pup. Can I run a flex core preamp AND emg p/j x off of one 9v? Will that reduce "headroom" or is it not even possible Should I just take out all foam from the p? Lower a bunch? Should I put in a pot to limit the p pup? Can I add a...

    Emg jx with obp1: HUGE gain boost on my blend jazz when the pups are isolated

    Its emg jx with an Aggie opb 1. Two band sounds good but when I try and move the blend all the way to the front or the rear there is a massive gain/boost that happens any thoughts?

    Ok for reals: who makes the best six string bass??

    I'm taking the plunge. I like f bass but the 19mm spacing is a bit of a turn off for chords. Carl Thompson 6 is a to hard to play modern but I love the sound. The low end/ benivente just didn't sit right .so far the one that I liked the most was a....... GASP schector diamond 6 with emgs. Not...

    How much does your bridge affect your tone?

    I've heard that micro tuning bridges such as though seen on a 90s fender p bass plus can rob tone. Any truth to that? And what about bridges in general? Will a bad ass II have more mids and punch then a hip shot? In other words what does a bridge do other than hold your strings?

    New pre amp suggestions for my 93 fender p bass plus

    It has the factory kubiki pre amp in it now. It's not very versatile. The two band eq really acts as more of a huge volume boost. I like volume in my eq mix, but I just want something that sounds.... Tastier. Terrible description I know. Oh also I've replaced the lace sensor pups with emg x.
