Title is the question. Spurred by my ownership of a boutique instrument that sounds incredible, but I've experiences numerous issues that I'd normally consider unforgiveable on an instrument of $500, let alone 18x that. But... I put up with it, because in 30 years I've never heard a bass that...

I've always made full pocket shims, because... I've seen 2 older fender bolt-ons with shimstock in the back of the neck pocket that made an indent in the pocket over time. I've seen multiple instruments with 'cave in' between the shim and the sole body/neck joint. Required fret work and left...

I have a Fender Elite 5-string, and I love the build and acoustic sound relative to other 5-string Elites I've played. The neck on it is slimmer than other Elite V's and slightly asymmetric. My problem is that the stock noiseless pickups have that hard low-middy fender sound that I'm just not a...

So I've been playing this Roscoe SKB Custom at a local shop on/off for a year, always turning away from it because it's rather dark sounding (Bartolini Quads). The instrument has been sitting on the shelf for a good time, while many other similar basses are sold. Yesterday I finally "got it"...

1979 Fender fretless P-bass as the title says. Comes with hard case. Currently strung with LaBella 760n Tapewound Nylon strings. There are 2 noticeable blemishes that I'm aware of as shown on the pictures: at the top of the headstock there is some sign of wear, and there's a single small dent...

I've found essentially my dream bass. The feel is amazing. I've been playing it for a few years now and despite this I'm constantly let down by the sound. The bass in question is a '74 fender p-bass fretless. I'm not so deluded to think I'm going to get that punchy jazz bridge sound on a...

Anyone rollin with fingers and a pick(s)? How do you handle it?

How!?

I'm looking for an amp (head) that can really push some deep low end and can also develop a strong growl on demand. My basses are a Fender Jaguar, vintage Fender P-Bass (70's), Danelectro Rumour. Usually playing down around drop Db with a very light touch. I'm primarily playing rock (shoegaze...

Hello there. I am unable to travel to the music store to try out different bass guitars due to a disability. I realize trying out a bass first is the ideal circumstance and I would have never thought about buying online until now. That said; I have a no-name bass here which I absolutely love...
