    Fender MIM Potentiometers

    Did Fender ever use Alpha pots in the MIM basses? I just received a loaded control plate from one of the eBay "pull off" parts dealers (not Stratosphere) and it was certainly not the one pictured. They actually stated in the listing that it was from an MIM Player PJ Mustang bass. A new listing...

    Basses We Miss

    I've owned basses worth...maybe 5 times as much; but I really loved this one. But I went through a phase, and was with a band, where only 5 strings seemed adequate. I put this "mutt" of a parts bass up to finance a G&L L2500 (great bass, but gone, without tears). If I could buy this back, "as...

    Talkbass vs. The World!

    I've been an active participant here since 2009. I'm a mediocre working bassist, playing cover lines correctly, with esprit, but not moving bass art forward. I'm a parts builder; nothing new and unique, but built to fit my needs. Never, ever sold a parts bass for a profit. The point being...

    Could I have a little QC please?? @_@

    Not sure who's doorstep this should land on. I recently put together a JMJ/Vintera Mustang build. The only way I could find JMJ pickups was from Stratosphere, in a loaded pickguard assembly. Too expensive, but I kinda dig the nicotine white pearl PG. I assembled the bass a couple months ago...

    Squier Bronco Bass Neck Compatibility/QC(?) Discovery

    While considered by many to be an entry level/student instrument, I thought I'd give the Squier Bronco Bass a go as a mod platform while recovering from back surgery a year or so back, due to its very light weight. That project produced a decent, playable, fun little bass; not a pro instrument...

    NBD!! (and Squier Bronco Bass Weight)

    I just had spinal (lumbar) surgery. My doc told me not to lift anything over 8.5 lbs. for a month and be really careful, building up for a couple months after that. There aren't many things more unwieldy than lifting a bottom heavy bass into position from the stand, while sitting in a chair...
