Hi - I have a Kustom KBA 16 combo amp. After a few years of use (and a while of being left at a friend's house) it has developed a problem where any sound that comes out of it is quiet, thin, and kind of "farty." There is no discernable damage to the original speaker but that doesn't mean...

I've got a set of 4 in-line (meaning all on the same side) Wilkinson tuners for sale. They are die-cast and gold colored. They are not for the Fender style holes - they are for the standard "Gotoh" style mounting holes and single mounting screw setup. I believe the gear ratio is 1:17. They are...

I've had this brand new, unopened set of D'Addario strings for a while and it's finally time to send them somewhere where they'll actually get played. They are D'Addario XLs, nickel wound. They're for long scale basses and have a light top/medium bottom gauge - .045, .065, .085, .105. The code...

I need help finding the right set of strings. I play a Jazz bass - well, sort of. It is a J bass body, but with a P neck (maple neck and board) and has two Seymour Duncan Basslines humbuckers in it (the EMG 35 sized ones, I think) it's passive and is volume-volume-tone. I need help finding a...

Ok. So, my main band has been a band for about 2 1/4 years. We were a four piece up until a few months ago, when we added another member. We just met him this school year, whereas the original 4 members (me and three other guys) have been friends for a long time, even before we formed a band. I...

We're doing an arrangement of "Everybody's Everything" by Santana for jazz band. It's an F blues, but not swing (duh). I need solo suggestions! Is there maybe a written out funky solo that's in F, or that I could transpose to F, that I could use? I have 12 bars to solo and I really need the...

Same old story: I bought this new for a project that didn't happen. Gold-colored Jazz Bass control plate, 4 holes. Fender licensed but not Fender produced. $25 shipped OBO. Three gold mounting screws included. Ask questions if you have any. *Don't be confused by the photo, this is NOT a...

Set of 4 right-handed gold Wilkinson-brand Y-tuners. All mounting screws/hardware included. Ask questions if you have them. $30 shipped. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Can you really not order directly from G&L for a bass? Where, besides ebay, can I find G&L basses? (I'm looking for a 1500 or 1505)

Hey guys. So, I really dig the tone of nickel roundwounds (I don't care for steels). Right now I have a set of the standard D'Addario Xls; a .105 set. I'm planning on going back to .100s soon, and I have concern. The .105 XLs are too low tension. I have a really good setup for them, pretty much...

Ok. So, I'm in the middle of a fretless conversion. I've been re-radiusing the board using a 12" radius sanding block and 60 grit sandpaper. I'm almost done, and am close to having a consistent 12" radius throughout the board. My question... What's next? Obviously, using 60 grit, the board is...

Alright. So I've removed all the frets from my bass neck (doing a fretless conversion) and am going to start sanding to re-radius the neck. I've ordered a radiusing block (12") and the bass is already pretty close to this so it won't be too hard. Two things - are there any tips about this...

I ordered this for a project that didn't happen, and it's still brand new in it's packaging. It's a dual 250k balance blend pot, with center detent, from AllParts (product number EP-0385-000). It's still in it's packaging, so obviously it includes all the mounting hardware, etc. It's $10 on the...

OK - for sale here, real quick. A set of gold Wilkinson Y-tuners. Set of 4 tuners, right-handed set. Used for about a month on a bass, then taken off and never used again. They're actually real nice - stay in tune well and feel good and solid. They're well lubed and tune up easily. All screws...

Yeah... does a fretless maple fingerboard need to have a finish? I'm going to be using flatwound strings anyways. I'm undertaking a simple de-fretting project, and I'm re-radiusing the board so that will take off any of the current finish. My question, is does the board need to be finished if...

Ok. So, I have an interest in running my bass without a volume pot, going from volume to a switch I have installed, then through a cap and to the output jack. So, no tone knob. My question is - what value cap works best in this setup? Using a Fender Jazz Bass in a P/J setup.

I've searched all over the internet, TB threads and Ebay... but to no avail. I have this question: Is there no purchasable set of push-on knobs that will fit my solid-shaft Fender CTS pots? Thanks.

Up for sale, I have 4 items for you. First is a a Jazz bass pickguard that has been cut with a much wider space. It originally had just a J bass pickup in it, and although this cut looks like a p bass pickup, it's bigger than a p bass pickup, so don't expect a snug fit or anything. Not sure...

Yeah. The truss rod nut is stripped on my bass, so it's near impossible to turn the truss rod. I need to turn the truss rod because it's not set correctly right now... so I need to adjust it and fix the action. How do I go about this? Is there anything I can do? I'd like to buy a new neck for...

Ok... so... I'm confused. I have a Fender Mexican Jazz Bass, standard solid shaft CTS pots. Are those pots 1/4" shaft or 3/8" shaft?? Because I need to replace the knobs... These two knobs. Right here...

Ok folks... quick question. a GK 4x10 cab (400w @ 8 ohms i believe) and a backline 125 (300w @ 8 ohms, or 125 at 4) are being offered to me for $275. purchased in 2007, used by a music student who didn't use it very heavily. original owner. so, for $275, is it a good deal? i'll be checking...

alright... buying hipshots for my fender... real simple question here, but i couldn't seem to find the answer... spent 20 minutes looking at ebay, TB and the hipshot website; still can't find the answer. oh well. am I correct in thinking the hole is 11/16" wide, and the bushings put in make it...

:help: I'm in need of a good sounding and loud 1x15 combo amp. There's two I'm looking at right now: the Acoustic B100 and the Ampeg BA115. Both are combo amps, and both are 100w of power. There's a used Ampeg at my local GC that's $250, and the Acoustic is $250 new, so I'd pay $250 either way...

So... the past school year, my band played three shows (because it's school, they were all one-song shows, except the last one where we got an encore) And so we've pretty much focused on learning songs for each show. So this summer, we've got to bump up our repetoire for an upcoming show in the...

All I can say is... awesome. Love Jaco, love what he's doing here. The playing he's doing while Joni is singing is great on it's own... but man.. what he does after just amazes me. Anyone have music/tabs (I read both, TYVM) for anything here? Anyone have any clue what he's doing with those...

Up for sale: a BRAND NEW set of Fender '62 originals p bass pickups. They are in the box, have all the foam padding, mounting screws are still in the little bag... only been out a handfull of times to look at. Perfect condition, never installed (obviously). Bought for somewhere around $80 at GC...

Hey guys! Just got my supporting membership today... great use of $20! Welcome to my little spring sale here; basically, I've accumulated a bunch of bass-related crap and need to get rid of it. This is part 1 of what will probably become a multi-part group of threads of me selling stuff. A lot...

So, I recently bought a Fender 62 Original P-Bass pickup for my c.1980 Electra Phoenix bass, which for a while was my only bass, plus my MIM Jazz body w/ fretless squier neck. So, the frets have begun to die on the Electra and I've since purchased a fretted neck for the Jazz. I only used the...

So, I'm placing an order with Pickguard Heaven (formerly Chandler guitars or something like that, I believe) and thought I'd start a thread on it so people can know what they're like; also if you've dealt with them before, please let us know how it went and the kind of job they did, pics are...

So I have the neck from a 94 or so Squier MIM Precision bass, and just ordered a P Bass nut for it. But, the nut is too fat for the slot in the neck. How should I go about making it fit? I told the store about this problem, and they apologized saying it's the only size P Bass nut they stock...

http://www.allparts.com/250K-Balance-Blend-Pot-p/ep-0385-000.htm this is the correct blend pot to use for my Fender Jazz bass that i'm converting to a V/B/T setup with a P pup in the neck and a J in the bridge. also, will this wiring diagram work for my wiring, save for replacing the jazz pup...

Hey. Anyone here own a Jazz bass (yes, JAZZ BASS body) with a P pup in the neck and a J pup in the bridge? I've played some of these (All Aerodynes) and love 'em. I've got a set of Fender '62 Originals and am ordering a pickguard from Pickguard Heaven and will have it custom routed for the p...

1:28 I absolutely LOVE the look of that bass. The sound of those basses are great too. Plus, I can always upgrade the pup or whatever. Looks like a vintage white w/ white PG, maple neck n' board, and I think it's the telecaster bass version; since it's got the pickup cover over it and there's...

So. I've got this bass. Soon, I'll be refitting it with a p bass pickup. So, time for a new pickguard. My chance to... spice this bass up I guess. What color do you guys think would look best on it? Should I stay with the white? Or maybe pearloid or cream pearl? All suggestions welcome. (I'll be...

So, I've been thinking about the wiring on my Jazz Bass. I don't like it. The two volume knobs and master tone? I just don't like it. So, I'm having it rewired with new pickups and such soon, my Jazz is going to become my main bass and... yeah. But, I think I'm going to have it wired like this...

Sorry for the noob-ish question I guess... silly me for assuming the ebay seller would ship them assembled. How is this done? Here's a picture of all the parts for one tuner... and what are those little black things? It seems like they have some sort of lube on them? Thanks. Link Removed

I have an (I think MIM; bought off ebay) Jazz Bass body. It's in some sort of honey or tobacco burst (definitions of bursts vary by maker, of course) and it's a flamed top. I'm checking the neck pocket, but there's one number on the serial I can't make out. I beleive it's ?63058 it's hard...

Let's think of some: tell me your favorite bass players/lead singers. Off the top of my head, I think of Mark Hoppus from blink-182 and the dude from All American Rejects. goes without saying: they don't have to be very good at bass to be counted :) but... i do like both their voices...
