    NBD Squier Sonic

    I decided that I wanted to try out one of the new sonic basses, but I was really only interested in the yellow one. So I ordered one directly from the Squier site. It has a nice weight, not super light. Not super heavy. Haven’t weighed it yet. Love the body color, but the pickguard has to go...

    New Bass Day (Vintage SX material lol)

    I posted a couple weeks ago about finding a good P bass at a relatively cheap price point. I found this guy and had to snag it up. Just got it in the mail this morning. Ancient rusty strings, dirty fretboard, mile high action. A true classic. 😂 I had one like this before, but it was a later...

    NBD Groove content

    I just got this in yesterday. 200 bucks shipped to my house. Not too bad of an instrument! It weighs 8 pounds roughly according to my bathroom scale. I’m really surprised at how even it is. I thought for sure it was going to be neck heavy. The neck is a satin finish. Looks really nice, feels...

    NBD Fender MIM disappointment

    Okay, first, I will say that I LOVE this midnight wine color. I have never seen it in person before. I am a fan. I have a black pickguard that would look great on it. Anyways, the story behind this bass is that the seller found it brand new in a music store. Never been used, still has all the...

    SOLD Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar

    Trying to trade my Jaguar bass. Just getting some feelers out there. I prefer P bass style necks and pickups. This one is in pretty decent shape. Some small knicks and bumps here and there. Got pictures of the worst of it. The G string tuner has some play in it. Seems to stay in tune though...

    Squier VM Jaguar Bass Full Scale question

    I ordered one of the older full scale VM Jaguar basses with the block inlays. Had one years ago and had to get rid of it due to some bills needed being paid. The only thing I don’t like about them are the pickguards. I actually do not like tort on 99% of bases. I see that eBay has some...

    For Trade Harley Benton P for your Cheapy P bass

    This is a practically brand new bass. I haven’t even had it set up yet. Stock strings too. There is a buzzing around the 8 and 9 fret on the A string. I’m sure a set up or fret level is needed. Nothing else wrong with the bass. I am just kind of putting the feelers out for a straight up trade...

    NBD (SX content)

    Just got this baby in the mail. Snagged it off of Reverb. I had one of these before, sold it and pretty much instantly regretted it. I am so pumped I found another one. It’s 9 pounds on the dot, a couple frets need fixed down, and it needs new strings. Also it could use a good cleaning. I...

    Refinish questions from a newb.

    I bought a cheap squier affinity a while back and had the bright idea to strip the body and refinish as a winter project. I tried sanding it with 280 paper and then put multiple coat on for about four days and this is all I have gotten off. I have a spatula that I have been using and it’s a bit...

    SX Pickguard question

    I have an older (some might say classic ) SX bass. I HATE the white pickguard on it, so I tried buying a black one from rondo and it doesn’t fit. I am not really sure if it’s because it has 21 frets instead of the typical 20 or what. Anyone have any experience with this?? I thought about maybe...

    NBD Vintage SX content

    Just got this baby in the mail today. Bought it off a guy on eBay for $130 shipped. It has the old headstock, making it a super rare treasure. Honestly, though it’s probably the nicest SX bass I have owned. The rosewood look SUPER nice. The neck doesn’t feel much different than a fender neck...

    Squier Classic Vibe vs Slick

    I am in the market to buy a new P bass but am having a hard time deciding. I have narrowed it down to either a Seafoam green Squier CV 70s P bass from Guitar Center, or a SG P from guitar fetish, the Slick model. I have read many reviews on the CV basses and they are mostly positive. There...

    NBD: Rebel Squier Edition

    Ordered this on a whim from GC. I wanted a cheap black on black P bass to mess around with. When I opened the box the first thing I noticed was all of the grease on it. It looked like someone was double fisting greasy bacon right before trading it in. The second thing I noticed was the...

    Fender “Squier Series” craigslist question.

    Found this on the local craigslist. I feel like $150 might be too much to ask for if the case is beat up, the bass is beat up, and the pickups need to be rewired. Anyone have any experience with these basses? Worth it to put back together? Have a better offer price? [Invalid or Expired Link...

    Rusty Pole Pieces

    I ordered a PJ set of used Geezers on eBay. Seller said next to new quality. Okay, got a great deal on them too. Well I got them in the mail today and some of the pole pieces are rusty. Is there a way to safely remove it, and is the rust an indicator that the pickup will be messed up?
