I recently got a job through Xanterra, who manages most of the concessions at Yellowstone, working as Kitchen Crew at the Yellowstone Lake Hotel for the summer. I've heard pretty mixed opinions on the working conditions and whatnot, but as a college student I'm just really excited for being...

The other day when I plugged in my SX P-Bass, I had no sound. So I took off the pickguard and saw that the white wire that connects the pickup to the volume pot had somehow broken off. So with what little experience I have, I soldered the wire back to where it was supposed to be, but now my...

A while back I had to take off the neck to the bass that I'm currently building, and when I went to put it back on today, the screws go all the way in, but don't actually screw into the wood, I'm assuming because I accidentally drilled the holes too long. Is there an easier fix for this than...

What bass did Mike Oldfield use when playing with Kevin Ayers? It looks like a P-bass with a weirdly modified body, but I can't tell what it is. The best picture of it I could get was a screenshot from a YouTube video. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

SOLD! This was my first bass, and I have just been messing with it since I got it, so there's a few issues. Primarily, the pickguard has no screws, and one of the bridge pickup screws is missing. I have no idea why either are missing. Other than that, everything is in fairly good shape...

I recently got a Mighty Mite neck, and noticed that the top of the nut wasn't level. Being that I only have 1 other bass, and have never ordered a neck before, I have no idea if that's really an issue or not. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

There used to be a thread about this, but I couldn't find it. About a month or so ago, Norm Stockton launched his Art Of Groove course, on The Art Of Groove by Norm Stockton - Home. I subscribed to it, and it was quite helpful. I only got through the 1st Level, but even that helped me learn the...

Got this SX P-bass with the old Fishhook headstock from someone on TB. This thing has one big headstock! But I like it. I need a P-bass to add to my arsenal (of 1), and it sounds great. Intonation needs some slight adjustment, but other than that it's fine for me. The headstock (complete with...

We live in an apartment, with 2 dogs (not my choice). On Saturday, we decided to adopt a kitten. Now they told us when we first moved in that there was a 2 pet limit. So before we got the cat, we called and asked if there was any chance that we could get it, and the woman said no problem, we...

Does anyone on here ever go on Turntable.fm? It's a pretty cool site. 5 people take turns in a room playing a song on their playlist. It's an interesting way to discover new music. Link Removed

Can anyone tell me what bass Graham Gouldman is using in this video? I don't recognize the body or the headstock. Here's the video

I'm planning on getting me one of them Saga Jazz bass kits to experiment with. I'm either going to put some type of veneer on it, or paint it Surf Green using Reranch paints. If I were to apply a veneer, what is the ideal thickness of it? I've seen all kinds of sizes, but I couldn't figure out...

Nothing special. At Trade Day I got a little Peavey Microbass amp for $42. My other practice amp stopped working, so I figured this would be a pretty good replacement. I think it sounds pretty good, and Made in USA, too. I could probably get pictures of it on here tomorrow.

I know I've seen people on here who said they turn pens as a hobby/for a living. But I don't care to look for these people, so I'm just posting it on here. Does anyone think that this would be suitable for me? I just want to get into it as a hobby, nothing serious. [Invalid or Expired Link...

I need to know which amp would be better for say just jamming with friends or the occasional tiny gig. I could get a $159 Orange amp that is 25W, or a $250 50 W Orange amp. The obvious choice would be the 50W, but it is also $100 more, which I don't have. I am on a limited budget, but I also...

I currently have a Jazz pickguard, and I plan on putting P pickups where the neck Jazz was. But obviously, they wont fit with the pickguard. So I need some way to cut out part of the pickguard so the P pickup will fit. I really don't care how bad it looks, I just want them to be able to fit. So...

My little Peavey amp recently stopped working. It looks like the input jack has fallen into the amp just far enough down so it can't pick up the cable. Anyway, I've been searching for a new amp, and I found this one on Amazon. It's a BadAax B35 amp, 35 watts for $100 doesn't seem like too bad of...

Due to all of the beer threads on the off topic board, I figure why not. Anyone ever had Virgil's Root Beer? Good gosh, it's freaking delicious. One of the greatest drinks I've ever had. Unfortunately, I have to order it online, so sometime in the beginning of December I shall have me a keg of it.

I currently have a Peavey Milestone bass I got for cheap, and I was considering switching out the first J pickup with some Precision pickups, but keeping the bridge J. Besides the obvious pickguard issue, what other issues might I encounter trying to do this, and how easy would it be to do? I'm...

A little over a month ago, I took the strings off of my bass. Unfortunately, I never got around to replacing them until now. I figured something bad might happen if I leave them off for too long, with the weather being freakish going from hot to cold to hot to cold. I put my E string on, got it...

Well, at the risk of sounding newbish (which I am), I've heard if you want to repaint an already painted bass, it is easier just to roughen up the current finish then paint over it. Since I was planning on doing that, I was wondering if I could get some more info about doing that. Like what grit...

Well I've recently started playing my new bass much more than my old bass, so I figured I would sand the paint off and give it a paint job. The bass is a Peavey Millenium that I'm not too worried about screwing up. I think the only problem will be getting the neck screwed back in properly. I've...

Why are American made basses most always considered higher quality than the rest? I mean, I know Fenders and Gibsons are better, but what about these other not as famous brands that pride themselves on being made in America? Just because it is made here doesn't necessarily mean it's higher...

This is a very amateur question, but it's got me thinking. Could I replace the neck pups with a Dark Star on either of these basses? If so, how complicated would it be besides getting a pickguard that could fit it? Link Removed or this one Link Removed

Does anyone know where I can get a hardshell case for a short scale bass? I've searched on here and there was one person a while ago who asked the same thing, but he had an EB-0, and there was one guy who suggested Coffin Cases, but the person with the bass never said if they worked or not. I've...

I was looking at an Aria Model 1820 at a pawn shop today, it's in pretty good condition, and it plays good. Does anyone have any information or reviews for it? I've only found one review on the internet, but I need more than that. I was planning on paying $200 for it, is this too high to pay for...

I found an Epiphone limited edition silverburst thunderbird online, the one with the chrome hardware, but I noticed it had a white pickguard. I've looked at pictures of them, and the only one's I have seen had black pickguards. Did Epiphone make both of them, or is it something the person put on...

I was thinking about buying a Fender Pj-90 from a pawn shop for I think it was $230. The problem is, the pickups look like they have some type of rust(or it may just be some brown stuff on them). The stuff is on the metal things, not the whole pickup. And the bridge pickups are kind of uneven...

I'm looking at 2 different basses, both $350. http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Schecter-Guitar-Research-Raiden-Special4-Electric-Bass-Guitar?sku=423752 and http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squier-Classic-Vibe-Jazz-Bass-60s-Bass-Guitar-?sku=519578. Squiers are...
