Most I've ever paid for a bass (made in 2005) and it hums like the dickens. Esp when the bridge p.u. is turned up a little bit. It didn't use to. It has one of those push in front knobs to throw it out of phase. Strings load from the back. Fender strings not long enough to fit! Only use it for...

What are the wooden "bumpers" on the machine heads on some basses? Most don't have 'em. Mine does. I figured they were to protect the tuners, but no one seems to know. Lessee if I can find the picture. This is a German plywood bass given to me in '79. But I have no history at all. Any help...

From a FBook post: OK, all yew jazzers/bluegrassers.... Ever since I was given this bass [in '79] I've wondered what these 4 wooden "bumpers" are for. Maybe that's all they are, to protect the tuners. Or to emulate the old friction tuners. Most basses don't have 'em. But many do. I've tried to...

ready to finally install the fender brand chrome covers, or "bells" on my US jazz bass, (bought from Amazon) but naturally, they didn't send the mounting screws. can someone tell me the exact size? so, i'll spend 10 bucks in gas going to a music store trying to find these screws... this has...

What I'm really talking about is the RoseMorris 1999 with shallow neck. I know there were very few of those made. I've yet to see a U.S. version, the infamous "4001S". Wait, come to think of it, I did see a fireglo one at Guitar Traders in Ft Lauderdale circa '92. Wish I'd bought it. John Hall...

I'm sure this has been covered before but I don't have time to search for it. Bought from AMS or the Other One a jazz bass pickup cover, for the reasons it was meant for: to rest your hand on, not the "vibe" or the "vintage look". It's easier to play with a pick in front of the neck pickup w/...

I've got a '77 Stingray w/ the dead Gstring. Three knob version: vol/tone/preamp... It's been my main bass for 25 years but the Gstring output keeps getting lower. This is one of the ones w/ the creme pickup cover; Natural finish. Serial B002770. Bought at Ed's Guitars, Miami '82. Does anybody...

I'm a flatwound user. Have been since I joined the Union in 1969. Dean Markley are my faves but I can't find 'em anymore. Not even from JustStrings.com. Markley's website aren't that helpful either. I know Grodin installs them on some of their new basses, and I read an interview w/ Joe Osborn...
