Just interested to know how others respond to the situation of being asked to join a friend's band but they're considerably below the standard of musicianship you want to play with. Either they're amateurish, substandard or their music is just plain terrible. I never want to discourage or offend...

I have googled this to no avail, so a question for the vintage Fender experts. Did Fender do any Pre-Cbs Precisions with a Rosewood board but a skunk stripe? I'm out in Australia and '64 came up for sale but I'd never heard of such a thing. It certainly looked authentic in every other way and...

Opinions? This is obviously not a '67 because of the pickup placement, but just wondering what everybody thinks. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

A fairly sad story here. I'm in an all original band that recently completed a European tour of 32 shows. We're from Australia so this is a fairly big undertaking. We had a French drummer for the tour who was a very good friend of the band. At the tail end of the tour we went into the studio in...

This thread was prompted by the setup and tweaking of the three Precision basses I've owned over the last 8 or so years since I got my first P and the difference those small tweaks make. My first P was an American Vintage 1988 '57 Reissue. One of the first modifications I did was to replace the...

I've had this bass for quite a few years now, and I've always had just a couple of doubts about its originality. Does anybody know if it would have come with the bridge and pickup covers installed? Mine has no holes for either. It may've been refinished and the holes filled.

I just picked up my first Fender bass Vi, a 2012 MIJ model. I decided to get one because although I play bass in most of the bands I'm in, I also play guitar, and a couple of my bands do some shoegaze /sonic landscape type music where I can use the upper register of the bass Vi to do guitar type...

I'm planning a Fender Precision 8 string bass conversion. Has anybody attempted this? I want to use a Musikraft neck because they offer a 1 3/4" nut width and a vintage 7 1/4" radius. I'd also use the deepest neck they offer to get the maximum rigidity. My obvious concern is whether the neck...

Spotted this on ebay. They seller can't confirm if the pickguard is original. Opinions? Thanks in advance. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350945430493?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648
