    Rickenbacker Binding Issues

    Hello everyone, First off, my POS camera has died so I have no pictures. I'll do my best to describe the problem My Rick is a year and a half old has been in its case for a few weeks. When I put it away, there were no problems at all. Today when I took it out, I noticed several cracks...

    My Squier VM P bass blows away my Ric 4003

    Got the VM P (the amber finished maple one) today. Originally got it as a beater for dive bar gigs so my Ric wouldn't get trashed. Sonically at least, the VM kills the Ric. Louder, more definition, and much longer sustain. Much better lows, and even the highs are better. How can this...

    $2,000. Investment bass?

    Let us say one has, oh $2,000. What would be a good "investment bass"? One that would hold its value very well and have a good resale value? Obviously a Ric has crossed my mind, but where I live, trying one out is simply not going to happen. I love the sound of a Ric, but I have never...

    Buzz/rattle: not fret buzz, not bridge.

    Hello. After spending hours on the internet and literally taking apart the bass, I STILL have this buzz/rattle on the E and A strings. Bass is a Squier precision. The noise seems to be coming from the around the center of the body. It's not the pickups or any of the hardware. Adjusted...

    Mods vs. American Std. Precision

    Hello. Your collective expertise would be greatly appreciated. My "dream bass" has been an American Standard Precision, and I've been saving bit by bit for one. A few months ago, for helping him move, a neighbor gave me an Affinity P bass (made in Indonesia, alder body). So far I've...

    I need the wisdom of Talkbass.

    Hello everyone. A neighbor was moving out yesterday and just gave me a two year old Squier Affinity P bass. Surprisingly resonant body, and I LOVE the neck on the thing. I've been saving for a MIM P (money is extremely tight), but would it make more sense to gut the Affinity and put in new...
