Looking to try a couple of different strings...going to order from Strings-By-Mail...and want to get my money's worth on shipping lol They are going on my Ibanez SR500E by the way. My current favorites are Fender 7250L 40-100, and GHS Pressurewound 43-103 (I think is the size). I want to try...

I got this awesome SR500E yesterday and it is pretty awesome! I quickly found that I wanted some kind of thumb-rest or finger-ramp for it. I didn't want to pay out the arse for one...and frankly I liked how the "ramp," on my EHB1000S was...not radiused, more of a thumb-rest/finger-stop than a...

I figured since I spent the money on a Sandberg...I needed a REAL bass amp. I currently play through a Yamaha THR10, either on its own or as an interface running Guitar Rig 5. I'll probably still use this for the majority of playing at home, but I wanted the option for something bigger and to...

I don't really know what else to say about this bass, other than "WOW." I feels amazing, sounds even better! It is incredibly fun to play too! Sandberg VM 4 Nighthawk!

I was just looking at bass combos and realized that there are very few that come with USB connectivity to record straight to a computer. I understand there are other options, but for home players and simple recordings, I find the USB connectivity that is on most solid-state guitar combos is...

I took my Harley Benton JB75 into my local GC today. I ordered it to see if the Harley Benton's were as good as people claimed. The short answer is yes, they are quite good. Easily on par with the CV line. Unfortunately, the model I got was Ash body...not swamp ash. It weighed 11lbs. 5oz. It was...

I got this in today, put pressure-wounds on it, and haven't put it down!

Just ordered this off Reverb...it is a B-stock for "a barely visible smudge on the back," and got it for a good price I think. I've been wanting to get a short scale for a while, and even cooler that it's headless! Ibanez EHB1000S

First off, Chris at Yamaha N. American, I apologize. You're just doing your job. My beef is with your "script." I have been trying to obtain a part number for a replacement pickguard for my Yamaha BB234 bass. I was directed to a parts website; however, you have to use the specific part number...

Pretty much have this beast where I want it now… Yamaha BB234 -Hipshot Kick-Ass Bridge -EMG GZR PJ set -Painted pickguard (until I can get a new one cut) -Round String Tree -Schaller BM tuners -Large satin aluminum knobs from Amazon -Rosewood thumb rest -D'Addario Nylon Tape-wounds...

I just got these installed in my BB234! Super quick install, love the quick-connects. The new guts took care of all the stock scratchy pots that I had, the pickups are dead quiet, and the volume balance (both string to string, and P to J) is soooooo much better now!

I decided to go ahead and dump some money into my Yamaha BB234. The bones are fantastic...alder body, maple neck, awesome dark rosewood fretboard, nut is cut great. It actually doesn't sound too bad either, but I can't help but mod stuff so here we go! I got some bigger satin aluminum knobs...

I found this today at a local shop and loved it, so I had to take it home. I know it is a 2001 MIM Deluxe Active Jazz Bass. My question is, what are the pickups in these? Some stuff I found said they were noiseless, but then the pics show a newer version of it with 2 pole pieces for each...

out my arm hair! I put some on looking for a brighter sounding flat, but when I slap around on it, the strings are pulling out my damn hair! Haha! I don't know if it's just this set or if they're all like that. I had La Bella DTB on there and they seemed smoother/didn't pull my hair out...

I sold a guitar this morning and picked this up! It is a 2021 Player P and came in a Gator Transit bag. The seller also threw in a Korg Pitch Black pedal tuner, the Dimarzio Clip-Lok strap (which I removed and put the stock strap buttons back on), and a long T shaped truss rod wrench from...

I've always loved this song, and the bass groove. Not super hard, as it's pretty repetitive on bass, however the rhythm is a little funky with the ghost notes and whatnot. Still trying to perfect it, but I think this is pretty good!

So I just got a new bass last week after more than 6 years without. I have played guitar during that time though. I decided to learn something new to me so I could see where I was at. It all came back to me quicker than I expected. More excited than ever to be playing bass again!

I am a pick player. I have no shame in it, I started with guitar...still play guitar, and I'm comfortable with picks. I have been using my Dunlop Tortex Jazz III XL 1.5mm picks that I use on my guitar, and I do like them on my bass, and get a nice consistent sound. I wanted to try a different...

Fedex just dropped on my new bass! It is awesome! First of all, I bought it as "Mint" condition from ProAudioStar on Reverb. They had it at $699, I offered $600 and got it for that with free shipping. I was expecting a mint condition...figured it was probably a trade-in that wasn't used much...

I dropped into local GC to play through some various bass combos to see what I liked. When I played in a "band," I played through a Behringer (Now Bugera?) Ultrabass 300-watt combo with a 15" aluminum speaker. I know from the internet that they aren't exactly high-quality amps...however I played...

I have a couple of questions that about my bass that is coming... Hoping someone has some knowledge about this, as it may pertain to other basses with a similar electronics situation. The bass has a push/pull on the volume knob to switch from Passive to Active. In the stock setup, it is down...

I am primarily a guitar player...haven't played bass for over 6 years (since I was last in a "band") but I have been getting the itch for a bass lately. I went and tried a few out today, Squier Classic Vibe P, CV Mustang, Schecter something or other, a short-scale Sterling...but decided not to...

Hello all.. I am thrilled to say I am the new owner of a brand new Squier Vintage Modified 70's Jazz Bass. :) I had been filling in on bass for our band for a while...and then a while turned into a year and a half, so I just decided to sell my 6 string guitar, and guitar head...and buy a...

I am looking at putting some active pickups into my Jazz and have some questions... I am wanting to get some that are active/passive. Some that I can kick on and off in the event of dead battery...or just not wanting that active sound for whatever reason. I am planning on wiring them for full...

....and I love it! It gave me the look I want + it didn't limit string access where I play (inbetween neck p'up and right over the bridge p'up)

Starting a "Black on Black" club here...any makes/models are good as long as it a black bass with a black pickguard. (Hardware doesn't all have to be blacked out but that's cool too) I have ordered today my Black pickguard for my Black Squier Jazz, should be here tomorrow since it's already...

I am going to put in an order with guitarpartsresoure.com....I'm getting the tort guard, pickup cover, and a bridge cover....but they don't offer the plain chrome jazz bridge cover on there....I know allparts.com does...but I'd like to order everything from one place if possible. They do...

I found an old thread where someone had talked about doing this...and they laid it out on their J and took pics, but never updated to say if it fit once he screwed it down....?? Has anyone else done this? I think I may if I can find out if it fits... Thanks, Josh

I have searched as much as I can, and haven't found one yet...so I figure I'll see if anyone's interested...? Doesn't really have to be a club per se, just kind of wanting to see your black basses with tort pickguards... I am ordering some stuff Monday and I'm torn between white pearl or...

Okay...I had gone up and got my 5 string earlier this week, and I liked it, but was really looking for the 4...but they said they didn't have one in. I had to go back up yesterday for an ABY switch, and saw they had gotten this one in. So today I made the trip up there, exchanged the basses and...

Hello all, I am new to the forum and thought I'd show off my bass...I'm sure it doesn't compare to alot of the things I am seeing on here, but it's mine, so that makes it sweeeeeeeeet! Haha. I have been playing on a Dean Edge 4, and wasn't a big fan of it...but it got me started, and today...
