Hey all, I recently picked up Anthony Kiedis' book Scar Tissue, and some of the pictures inside the book show Flea playing this very decorated MM Stingray that I've never seen before. Here are the pictures: I was just curious if anyone has seen this bass before/has any information on it.

Hey all, I have this old Squier P/J here: And I want to do something with it. Anything. I want to make it as original (tone and style) to a 60s era Precision as possible.. but I need suggestions. Right now I have no game plan. Go!

Hey all, I have an old Squier P/J that's rotting away in my closet. I've decided to try out some new things with it. One of the combinations I've been contemplating is putting an old 51 RI single coil pickup that I have in the bridge position. Has anyone ever heard this done before? I can't...

Quick Question - Does anyone know where I can get a reproduction Ernie Ball Stingray headstock decal? The said decal needs to be 2000-2011 style waterslide - obviously I'm going to do a "tribute" build. ;) Thanks Guys. Kyle J. EDIT: I AM NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE HEADSTOCK LOGOs...

Hey guys. I was browsing on ebay, when I came across this: Super Rare 1961 Fender Jazz Bass Electric Guitar It says it's a 1961 Jazz with the Double Stack control panel. First off, I believe this is 100% real, without a doubt. But what broke my heart is the neck on that thing. I just...

I plan on relic-ing an SX Jazz I just bought for the first time. It would be great if you could lead me in the right direction on where to begin the process, seeing as, well, I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks all. Kyle J

Hey all. I just bought one of Link Removed and I plan on doing a bunch of work on it. It would be great if you guys have better or more efficient opinions that you could let me in on This is what I plan on doing: Buying one of Link Removed and putting it on the bass. Putting in a Volume, Volume...

Hey everyone. I've been seriously considering ordering my first MM stingray for a while now, so I went to the local GC to play one and check out the specs and such. I asked the one of the employees if there was any way I could get a Stingray 4 White finish/maple neck/black pickguard. He brought...

Hey guys I have a quick question. I'm rather new to effects so I was curious as to whether I should buy a EQ Pedal and use that with my Compression or buy a D.I. Box and have that act as the EQ to use with compression. I know D.I. Boxes are extremely helpful when it comes to studio recording...

Ok. I'm a noob. Not to playing bass, just to this. I'm slightly embarrassed asking this question seeing how I've been playing bass a while and just realized I should probably set up a GOOD board for playing small gigs and such. What I'm basically asking, is what do I absolutely need in my...

Hey everyone! I just noticed on the Fleabass site that they have a new model, priced at $299. Four new colors, but the model looks the same as the original Fleabass, so I don't understand why it's cheaper. I'm going to look into it. Here's the link: Link Removed Honestly, these basses look a...

Does anyone have any sound clips or videos I can hear/see of the SX Ursa 2 Hum MN 3TS? Thanks Kyle J.

Hey everyone. For some reason, I suddenly had a nitch to make a debate website last night. Idk why, but I think it turned out pretty cool. I'm just testing it out, so everything might be a little glitchy. The actual forum itself is just a test forum, and if it starts to gain a few users, I'll...

Ray 34 vs. SX Ursa 2 HUM w/ Audere Preamp. Which one? As if this is actually a question. I just want your honest opinion.

Oye! Alright so my 91' Jazz, well, let's say it broke. I've been looking for a while now to move on to something different. I've been thinking musicman, but I don't have enough for that. I spotted the SX Ursa 2 Hum (Link Removed) on SX's website last night. I've been listening to a lot of...

Hey, I was just wondering what you guys think the best non-musicman pickup that is most similar to the stingray pickup. I heard the basslines/seymour duncan one was similar, but when I heard some samples I couldn't find the stingray tone in them. Thanks Kyle J.

Hey, Since I do not own (but dang do I wish I did) one of the original Mustang basses with the 'Competition' or 'Racing' Stripe on it, I just wanna know if I can have the specifications of the stripe seeing as I'm going to make my own. What I need: Length (of all stripes together) Width (of all...

Ok, So I know I'm being like the biggest noob here but I'm tired of this piece of crap Squier sitting in the corner. So what am I going to do? Put stickers on it of course. And since I have never done this before I need your help. Here's what I'm aiming to do. If you couldn't tell, the...

My Fellow TBers! I've recently just discovered a sweet new game/website called drawball. It's a giant ball that is open to public for people to draw on. I don't know if this has been done/mentioned before, but I'm going to anyways. Many different forums always try to keep their watermark on...

I recently just bought a brand new MIM Fender Jazz to mess around with and personalize. It's an Arctic White Body, White Pickguard and Maple neck. First on the list I changed the pickguard, next I want to add racing stripes. I played an old Mustang with the exact same colors, and I just adored...

Hey what's up. I recently just play a SBMM at the GC near me, I thought it sounded great, slightly smaller than a normal ray though. I tone was very treble-y IMO, but overall it played and sounded like a Ray. Now the whole point of this is that I have never played NOR ever even touched a...

Heelllloooo Ladies and Gents. I was talking to my good friend David Caraccio (youtube: Davidsinrocks ;D) and he told me about a friend of his who went to NAMM 10 I believe (or somewhere else), and took these photos of new FleaBass colors! The only colors that he took were the Black and...

I'm allowed to get a bass amp for Christmas this year. I usually play slap and finger style, mostly RHCP. Whats the best possible bass amp I can get that is under or 300$ exactly? I've thought about the GK Backline 115, but I know it's nothing like a real GK. What do you guys think...

So I need a new Practice Amp. I mostly want the RHCP/Flea sound that usually comes out of GK's. The GK Backline 115 Combo sounds like a wonderful match for my style, nice features, nice speaker.....but I'm getting mixed reviews, some say it blows up, some say it's absolutely reliable. Then I saw...

I don't know if this has been on here before, but I always love to see people's bands. :hyper: Rules Must be real famous people Cannot be you or a relative or family members (but who's actually related to Van Halen I mean seriously ;)) Two Members cannot be in the same band (ex. Chad...

Hey guys I'm purchasing a new bass soon, and I was wondering, this is more of an opinion question but do you think I'd get more of flea's sound with the Sterling SB14 or Sterling RAY34? The SB14 gives more of the Modulus sound, but he used his Stingray countless times on many albums. What do you...

Hey Guys! Just a quick question. Currently to record videos and jams I use a 1/4 to 1/8 jack to plug the bass directly into the record input, then straight into audacity. Audacity is good, but delays my recording, so it doesn't go with the song I'm recording to. Is there another amazing free...

Hey guys I just recently got a SamAsh (usually shop GC but bought an acoustic from them) catalog in the mail. The Ibanez SRX550 was in there 62%:hiding: off the original price of 500$. I know this because GC still has it at 500$, and it seems like Ibanez may be discontinuing the line. :crying...

Hey everybody!:help: I have a choice to get a backup bass just to jam on and I've got a choice between the Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass or the Classic Vibe 60s Jazz, both being Squiers, I've heard that the CV is a little more of an upgrade to the VM, but the VM just looks so damn good it's...
