If you're unfamiliar with his work please google him and look at some of his work. Custom and amazing - he makes some of most beautiful pick guards for players from unkown weekend guys like me to some guy named Victor Wooten!! Here is the pickguard he made for me. The tree is sentimental for...

I have an Ampeg V4B reisue that blew up last night. Powered it up sitting on standby (it had a cabinet load plugged in). As soon as I turned it from standby to on I heard a very loud "static sound" and saw some distinct blue and amber light through the grill cloth. Power light then stayed on...

I’ve gone through so many. Forced myself to downsize and only keep the insanely best. Down from 16. I really want that clear cut #1 forever bass. I keep rotating, as soon as I think ah yes, this one is #1 a month later I pick up another one and end up playing it for a month and the cycle...

Friend of mine sent me some pics of a Fender Precision Special. I would have told you it was modified but I found it in Gruhn’s book. Apparently made from 80-83. Active with 3 knobs and a toggle switch. Made between 79-81 based on serial number. Anyone ever play or see one of these?

Le Bass is my main preamp for my live rig. I use in-ear monitors and no amp. I recently integrated the Le Bass preamp prior to Covid shutting the world down in March. I marked all my settings on the preamp and then she was stored as gigs were no available and my guitar player fought the...

Just curious if anyone has seen or knows of the whereabouts of the legendary mothman bass?? Seems like it would pop up every few years, but I can’t remember the last time it was seen. I’m concerned it may hold some dark power and possibly is the root cause of 2020 being the crappy year it has...

1991 Golden Era Warwick Streamer Stage 1 for sale. Neck through. Comes with Warwick flight case. It currently has Bartolini pickups and an Aguilar OBP3 installed for electronics. I have the original MEC pickups and preamp, those electronics will also come with it. When I puchased the bass...

Premiere Dealer Network, starry night Stingray 5 Classic. I bought this for a couple reasons, I love ebony fingerboards, the "egg shaped" pick guard on the classic 5 string stingrays, and roasted birdseye. As a bonus, this bass has the oil/wax EBMM finish on the back of the neck. This limited...

1975 Fender jazz bass. Not heavy - 9.6 lb on my bathroom scale. Bass plays and sounds great. All components date to 1974, but the neck dates to 6th week of 1975. This was probably one of the last 4 bolt necks made. Bass came to me with all of its original components other than the pickups...

Bass was sold to me as a 1994 66 reissue, but i believe it is a 1993 62 reissue based on the markings on the neck. Link to the thread where I purchased the bass is below, he has better pics than I do.... I removed the quarter pounders - they sounded good but the big magnet poles just looked...

Looked for one of these for a long time, finally found one. Problem is I have 12 basses and want to put some $$ into my Harley. So I need to sell a few off. Plays and sounds great as you would expect from an American Standard jazz bass of this era. Bass is stock other than a pearloid...

please help me verify this bass if you can. It was sold to me as a 1993 MIJ Fender Jazz 62 reissue. However, there’s no serial #. No Made in Japan or Crafted in Japan anywhere. I have several other MIJ necks and this one feels and looks just like them. Below are pics of the neck pocket and...

***Price Drop*** I was fortunate to purchase this several years back. I am switching back to 5 strings and just purchased a PDN starry night stingray classic 5. I need to sell some gear to cover it, which has this one up for sale. EBMM did not record how many of these they sold, but they did...

I saw this body on the Warmoth site and couldn't pass it up. Most of us have been there. Black Korina top on a Black Korina back. I dropped in my favorite pickups - Aero Type 1 single coils. Added my favorite bridge - Badass Bass II with factory grooves for adjustable string spacing...

***Price Drop**** I always loved the look of Geddy's #1 bass after he got the neck with the pearloid blocks. Basically the look of the new USA models, so I decided to build one. Well, I bought another bass, and I need to sell a few to pay for it, so up goes this one. Price is $550 shipped...

I have another bass i’m after. If it sells, i’ll pull this ad and keep this bass. Everything here is either period correct or original to the bass. Everything dates to mid-late 1974, but the neck dates to 6th week of 1975. The bass was originally natural. It still is, but the finish was...

Picked this up in a trade. It’s 1991, very thin jazz bass feeling neck. It came with an EMG preamp and pickups. Wasn’t feeling it. It came with stock MEC pickups and preamp, so I installed those. It was better, but I still felt it could be even more so. I just installed Bartolini pickups...

I traded for this recently. Came with a black pick guard but I took it back to stock with a white pearloid and added a zeromod thumbrest. The more I look at it the more I dig the looks. My other Stingray has a roasted neck that has a poly finish. This one has the standard unfinished oiled...

picked this up from a friend who has good taste in basses. 1979 Rickenbacker 4001 bass in autumnglo. I’ll try to get more pics up.... Played my first gig with her last Saturday. I did not find it to be uncomfortable. As you can see below the bass is much better looking than me.

Price Drop - There's a bass I'm after so I'm pricing this to move. Price dropped to $1,250 shipped and paypaled. Fender Select bass for sale or trade here. I have 5 jazz basses so I'm just trying to diversify. I always liked the Fender selects, but I could never find one with nice even...

Looks fake as can be to me and I'm not interested in it. But, for my own knowledge, did Fender ever manufacture under the Fender brand in China?? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I have a wonderful 1991 Warwick Streamer Stage 1. I absolutely love the bass, plays and feels wonderful. I'm not in love with the MEC active pickups and/or preamp. It's not bad, it just doesn't set me on fire. I favor mids and lo mids in my sound as it seems to sit in the mix and cut...

Stopped by Gruhn's in Nashville last week, and found an early 70's Ampeg V4B in the corner. According to the shop, it belonged to and was toured from 81-82 by Mark O'Connor with the Dixie Dregs. The shop told me it didn't work, but I had to try anyway. Lo and behold it works fine!! I think...

i’ve always heard that tube amps don’t care about the ohm load. My SVT Classic has settings for 4 ohm and 2 Ohm. Is it OK to run this amp with an 8ohm cabinet? I have new power tubes on order and don’t want to destroy them. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

Hello, Purchased a used USA made SVT classic locally a while back. Great amp as we all know. The amp sounded as it should and both green LED lights lit up on the back of it when I first got it. Now one of the green LEDs does not light up. I allowed it to warm up for 30 min of playing time...

Long story short, I purchased a US made SVT-CL on craigslist about a year and a half ago. The amp has been great and the greed LED bias lights on back always lit up on both sides. I noticed the other day that now only one of the green LEDs is lighting up. So during a band practice (letting it...

Long story short, looking for similar experiences to either confirm I'm crazy, or confirm I'm not crazy. I built a PJ. Passive Aero type 1 PJ set of pickups (Aero pickups are my all time favorite and I have them in 2 other basses that I'm very happy with). Bought a wiring harness, standard...

Building a bass, she'll have a MIJ Jazz neck with a rosewood fingerboard, BAII bridge and Aero Type 1 PJ pickups. I purchased a tort guard (as required for a P) but I like the top of this body a lot, and am thinking about doing just a chrome control cavity cover similar to the ones found on a...

Yup. I finally did it. Left my power adapter at home for band practice, and used the power adapter for my Aguilar TH/DI. I was absolutely sure it was 9V. Used it with an EBS Multicomp and it started acting funny (going in and out in volume). Strange I thought. So I un-plugged it and...

Hello, My tastes in my bass tone have become quite specific, and when it doesn't sound right to me it really bugs me. One of the key pieces to my sound is an onboard Nordstrand 3b-4a preamp in my Fender Custom Classic Jazz. I have this preamp in 2 different jazz basses (one is a backup) and...

Hello talkbass, I have a 1994 MIJ Jazz neck and I need to find tuners for it. From my research on the internet the GOTOH GB10 is a drop in replacement, but I'm struggling to find them and I also want a drop D tuner and I don't think GOTOH makes one for this pattern. Does anyone know of a...

I have for sale a ridiculously gorgeous USA Custom Guitars neck made from AAAA flame, roasted maple with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. It has clay dots, and Hipshot reverse tuners, one of which being a drop tune. The only reason I'm selling is because I'm a jazz bass guy and my left hand...

Hello my fellow brothers of the bottom end. Was able to pick up a 1975 Fender Jazz with a 4 bolt neck (dates to 6th week of 1975) bass this past September. Somewhere along the life of this bass, somebody decided to refinish it and as the story usually goes, they didn't exactly know what they...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Fender select Jazz bass neck. If anyone has one available let me know what you would like for it. Or if you have a standard 4 bolt Fender neck with rosewood board and pearl blocks I'd be interested as well. I also have lots of gear to trade or do a partial, if...

I have a Two Notes Audio Torpedo CAB for sale or trade. $385 shipped to CONUS comes with power supply and manual, I might also have the original box...... This thing does some cool stuff and if you're recording it would be super cool. Trade interests are tube preamps, possibly a Sansamp RPM with...

was in Cleveland for a concert last weekend and had time to kill. Stopped by the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame". Grabbed a quick picture of Duck Dunn's 1951 Fender Precision bass. It was pretty cool.

Hey guys. This is the first time I've used a luthier to repair any of my basses. Long story short I acquired a 1975 jazz bass that at some point in it's life had the fretboard sprayed with poly. It was darkening/ambering the pearl block inlays which bothered me a little. Local luthier says...

I am building a bass. The body is a fender select active jazz. I believe it has conductive paint already shielding the cavity. It will get Nordstrand single coils and a Nordstrand 3B-4a preamp. My question is this - How do I connect the ground from each pickup, the bridge, and the jack to...

I need the opinion of vintage Fender guys in which direction to take on this instrument. It's a 1975 4 bolt neck jazz. Original parts currently not on the bass, but I have in the case - the original bridge, wiring harness, jack, and strap buttons. I do not have the original pickguard or...
