    Squier VM Fretless mod

    I like my VM but I've always thought the break angle over the nut for the A string was too shallow. My MIM Fender doesn't have this issue, so I think it's due to the slightly smaller tuners on the VM. Being a $250 bass, I didn't want to spend any money on it and I also didn't want to drill extra...

    wondering what happened to my old jazz

    I traded a 70's Jazz to Zapfs music in Philly back around 85. I have always wondered where it ended up. Hear's the story.... I bought it as a box full of parts from a guitar player who was selling it for a friend. It had been badly refinished with black paint and the frets were all chewed up. I...

    PF500 replacement midrange pot

    Can someone give me a source/PN for a replacement potentiometer for the mid-range control on a PF500? The shaft snapped off mine. If you have a PN/source for the knob, that would save me trying to drill the shaft stub out of the existing knob. Thanks.

    MIM Jazz pot shaft diameter

    Getting ready to order some replacement knobs for my 2017 MIM Jazz. I assumed they were 1/4" but decided to measure for sure. My tape measure says the shaft diameter is 3/8".....which confuses me. They are solid shaft pots. Can someone enlighten me on what size knobs I need? 1/4" & 6mm both seem...

    NBD

    After 40 years, my beloved Thunderbird needs to be retired until I have the funds to fix the bowed and twisted neck. I have been limping by with my Squier VM Fretless until my wife surprised me with an early Christmas present. She found a "used" Fender Jazz on the GC web-site and had it shipped...

    Are there any repair shops in the SE PA area that has a Stew Mac truss rod rescue kit? The end of my '77 T-Bird truss rod snapped off.

    fretted VM jazz

    is it possible to get a fretted version of the Squier VM Jazz? I have the fretless version and like the "no pickguard" look. I also like the ebanol fingerboard. Just wondering what a fretted version would be like.

    date a P-Bass

    If you saw my post in the setup/repair forum, you know my T-Bird is currently out of commission with a broken truss rod. The guitar player from my church band offered to loan me a bass until I get the 'bird repaired. He hands me this P-Bass this morning. He knows its from the 60's but doesn't...

    Stew Mac truss rod repair kit

    Anyone ever used one of these? Here's the story........got a little overzealous tightening the truss rod on my '77 T-Bird last year and snapped the end off. Luckily I had installed a few extra washers under the nut so there is still a stub of rod protruding. After cursing my stupidity, I...

    Be prepared......

    At gigs I have a rep. for always having whatever is needed to fix an issue with the bands equipment, PA, etc. I once even had a spare belt when the rhythm guitar players pants wouldn't stay up. Fast forward to this past Sunday. I am playing with the praise band at church and the service is...
