    Gibson SG headstock

    Hi all, So I found one of the new 2014 SG basses and it is truly a perfect little monster. I also really like short scales so that is a bonus. Here is my issue though, I notice a higher number of repaired SG basses and guitars, usually at the nut, than any other type of instrument. I've...

    Mustang neck swap?

    Quick question: Does anyone know if the Fender Mustang pawnshop necks will fit in the slot on the Squier Mustang basswood body? I really like the rosewood and the finish on the Fender neck and wanted to swap out.

    Thinking about a bass...

    Random GAS poll time. Many reasons to go with either, but lets not get bogged down with sound or style...just go with opinion and experience. I'm considering a new bass and a few cheaper to mid ranges are in my sights. Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Epiphone EB-3 Squier Classic Vibe Jazz...

    Gibson SG Bass

    Hi all, This is for anyone who has the Gibson SG bass that has been issued out in the last few years. What is the tonal range? I really dig the old school thump, but I'd also like something that can acheive that growly-burpy sound from Fender jazzes.

    Basswood pricing...

    Basswood doesn't bother me. A bit soft, but nice tones, and weight and a good alternative to alder. That being said, why in the world are some basswood basses nice and cheap like Classic Vibe and some are super expensive like the Bongo? I don't get it and I personally don't see that huge of a...

    Modding a short scale SX

    Alright, so I picked up an SX(essex) to see what all the hub-bub is about. Gotta admit, for the price it far exceeds my expectations. It is already modded a bit with a new jack, and potentiometers, but I actually really like the pup on it so I doubt I will change that. The neck and the body...

    Hey all, So I'm considering turning my Bronco into a fretless. I see plenty of how to's, but no examples. I'm sure somebody has done this. Care to share any pics?

    Peavey Forum

    Hi all, Picked up a candy apple red Peavey Forum today. MIA, p/j pups, awesome sound...loving it better than any bass I've picked up yet. The serial number puts it at '94...but other than that I have no info on it. The neck is sweet and it looks like a three part maple/rosewood but I'm not...

    Fender Mustang Club

    Hi TB! I haven't found a Mustang club yet, so I guess I'll make one if anyone is interested. Doesn't matter if it is vintage or a re-issue. Post your pics and tell everyone about your 'stang, any mods, strings used, type of music you play on it, etc. I recently bought a re-issue and I am...

    Is this really the correct date?

    Hi all, Just got my new Mustang in...or at least I thought it was new. It certainly has not been played before, and it looks quite mint. However I put in the serial number one the of Fender number lookup databases and this is what I got: Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for...

    Puns

    Anyone use or hear bass/music puns? Looking at a Bass book today and my wife says, "You should get a fretless. Then you wouldn't have to worry." :p

    D string buzz

    Hi all, Ok, so I've done that forum search thing and found a few helpful ideas but nothing that really pin points on my problem. I have a Squier VM jazz and as far as I can tell the set up is ok, not perfect, but good. All the strings sound great except for the D string. It buzzes open and...
