Maroon or burgundy silk ends. Gold ball ends. Similar tension with 45-105 Roundwounds. I got these on a bass I bought two months ago but strung them up on my Mexican P.

2014 American Standard Fender Precision Bass in OW and Maple. The Olympic white has yellowed a bit which I’m a little disappointed in but also, I should probably expect that from a 12-year old bass. I think 2014 was the prime for the American Fender lines all across the board. Something about...

I want to get y’all’s thoughts in 2026 on this bass. My wife wants to get me a nice bass for finally getting a job after 2 years of searching (and her wedding gift to me) so she told me to do some research and let her know which one I want within a 2k range. My first thought was a used AMPROII P...

I looked at various Fender diagrams to make a new control plate for my Squier CV70s Jazz and I noticed a lot of those diagrams don’t have a ground wire connected to the sleeve of the jack and connecting to the rest of the pots. Why is that? The P-Bass diagrams all show ground wires connecting...

So today I traded my Sire P5R for this beautiful Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass in sunburst. For the record, I did gig the Sire a couple of times and it just wasn’t for me. Beautifully made bass and all the neat features a regular Fender of that price range didn’t have were amazing (rolled...

I’ve been wanting another P-style bass to string flatwounds on. Fenders, both used and new, have been just completely out of my budget until this Sire P5 showed up on my FB marketplace. It had some sort of flat wounds on it already but they were more on the high tension side so when I picked it...

Here's the story: I purchased a set of PV63s back in late August from GUITARAUDIO on eBay. I bought stuff from them before and they had great stuff to sell. However, this time, it went through DHL for some reason and DHL tacked on $100 of import fees and charges which ticked me right off so once...

2019 MIM Player Jazz. Decided to do some maintenance and cleaning before I let my friend borrow it for a church camp he’s playing for to complement his Squier 40th Anniversary Precision. Took out the pickups to clean the cavity and such and discovered that these pickups don’t look to be stock...

Let me preface by saying, there were other threads with similar issues on this forum and on Reddit but they're fairly old posts and I didn't really get definite possible answers from reading the comments. PICKUP: Fender Pure Vintage '63 Precision Bass Pickup ISSUE: I was doing some TLC on my...

New Bass Day! Fender Roadworn 60s Jazz Bass made in Mexico 2018 (according to the serial #) I’m very happy with this purchase considering the price I got it for. Special thanks for a friend who brokered it for me and had it shipped to my nearest L&M. I was worried there was no case for it but...

Disclosure: I do not have an amp so only way for my to know that pickups are working are tuner signals. I do have a multimeter but symbols confuse me on it. See below: Got my new set of PV63s in and tried installing them on my primary Precision. No signal. Thought I installed the wires poorly...

For sale are the following parts. Was collecting to make a FrankenFender but lost interest. All prices in CAD. Shipping is $15 USD to Canada or USA. Due to Covid and Christmas season, expect longer delays. 1. Fender/Squier open gear tuners w/ screws. $20 for the set 2. Stock MIM fender bass...

For sale is a like-new Omega Bass Bridge, which is a rebranded model of the now-discontinued Badass Bass II bridge that a lot of artists use, such as Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Mike Dirnt, and Nate Mendel. - 5 screw hole mount. - multi-slotted saddles for better string placement over the pickups...

I'm having a hard time adjusting my pickup height because the screws are really hard to turn, especially clockwise. I don't know if it's the screws or the wood or something. I replaced my Fender Precision's stock white pickguard with an aftermarket tortoise pickguard and the issue remains. I...

I see why thought. Neither the pickup cavities and the control cavities are shielded. I recall Geddy Lee signatures being shielded there but apparently this one isn't. Is it better to grab some shielding paper like copper paper and add it on myself or take it to someone to apply shielding paint...

Woo hoo! Finally I achieved bass zen for myself! Only issue is that the knobs are screwed in tight and my Allen wrench isn't getting any traction. I tossed my only can of WD-40 away when we moved a few years ago. Any suggestions??

TL;DR: I feel that when I play to Rush tunes, it has to be on a Jazz Bass and nothing more. I can't explain why, but it just feels...right. I tried playing Limelight on my Precision Bass a few days ago, but it's like trying to build an airplane with scissors. It felt so weird. Likewise, I...

So I joined a band with a few other guys who attend the same university as I do. One of the guitarists is very 80s metal and rock influenced (EVH, U2, Rush (sort of), Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, etc) and a lot of J-rock and J-metal. The others are similar influences as me: Rush, IM, Dream...

Parting out my parts Fender Precision Bass Neck: Nate Mendel Precision neck. Has some truss rod issues but with a lot of tweaking, I was able to get it straightened and good again. $150 Body: Squier Standard Precision Bass body in 3-tone sunburst. No shielding paint in the pickup and control...

Oh man. I picked this up for $150 intended to my beater bass and practice bass, but it turns out...I love this thing. The Duncan-designed pickups are loud and they roar! The wood grain is amazing...it looks even better than the sunburst one on my FrankenP. The neck is unfinished for the most...

Update on Mendel neck. I definitely maxed it out. I was able to get a few turns using some excess brute force but when I tried turning it again, the but refused to budge. I dared not move it anymore or else it'll become firewood. The neck without string tension has a slight upward bow so I...

I am aware the screw spacing of the 70s tuners and the ones on a MIM standard neck are different but theoretically, I could add new screwholes into the neck and the tuners will hide the old ones? Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

Never gigged; it remained at home because I quit my church worship team. Going for an all-clean signal for my Precision Bass so this amazing pedal is going. All wires and cables included. Velcro was installed by previous owner on TalkBass. $125 USD shipped to the lower 48 and Canada.

I'm on the brink of selling my Geddy Lee Jazz Bass even though I promised I would never sell this one. Well. I caught the Precision fever. Is this because it's "cool" to like Precisions? No. It's based on usefulness for me. I play at church and I've never had a single Sunday service where...

Question about recording and Garageband. I recently got a Line 6 POD X3 to record myself playing and all that. However, when I record my basslines to songs for bass covers, I play back my lines to hear how it sounds but it doesn't sound like anything like when I play it. I can hear the signal...

Tried to work with this wonky neck but I'm just tired of it. I'm tired of working on this bass and trying to get it setup right. Parting this bass out to fund for an American Standard Fender P or something with a proper working truss rod. Shippig included for Canadian TBers; shipping split...

So I purchased some truss rod washers and a new plug (Allens wrench access) for my Nate Mendel P Bass neck. The truss rod seems to be maxed out and the action is too higher my liking even when the saddles are very low. I even added a shim at the heel of the neck. It helped a bit but I looked...

Tried them for a few days but decided flatwounds aren't for me. Great flatwounds that are at least $100 retail. $50 shipped. Shipping included in price. Cut for 4-in-a-row tuning setups. The G-string is longer so it can also fit for Musicman 3+1 or 4+1 style tuners.

Memorial Day is something not really commemorated in Canada. I personally am grateful and thankful to those who served in the military. Those who took up the call to arms, donned a uniform, grabbed a rifle, and sacrificed their lives daily will forever have my thanks. Maybe one day, I hope to...

I am keeping to my Rule of Two so this awesome parts Precision Bass will be on the chopping block. I am parting it out as I think selling parts individually will get me more profit than selling the bass as a whole. All prices in USD. 1. 2006 MIM Fender Precision Bass Neck. 60th Anniversary...

Selling because I'm upgrading to a different distortion or overdrive pedal that's smaller. I really like this pedal but it's essentially still a preamp and I don't need a preamp anymore. Selling for $130 shipped. Shipped to lower 48 and Canada.

So I've been using a Tech 21 VT Bass DI for my overdrive effects. It's great. I really like the stuff that I can shape and mold with that beast, but I want something a little smaller that can do just that. One big problem is that I can't switch it off without a having a massive volume drop. I...

A friend of mine has his pedalboard connected to a Line 6 POD X3 Processor which is then connected to his iMac. This way, he can play along to songs with his basses and use his effects pedalboard at the same time. How do I connect this setup together? Is there an alternative to a Line 6 POD X3...

It is alive. It's alive!!!!!!!!!!! 2006 MIM neck. QP pickup. Squier Affinity body, bridge, and neck plate. Labella flatwounds. Not Deep Talkin' ones. It lives!!!!!!!

For sale is this MIM Precision neck I bought off Classifieds. I thought I'd like the standard 1.625" nut width better, but my hands have gotten so used to the Mendel neck I've been using so it refused to bond with the MIM neck. I recently treated the rosewood fretboard to some TLC and it looks...

I can't seem to learn Dream Theater tunes for the life of me. Mind you, I learned a lot of Rush tunes and I'm not saying they're easy to learn either. Both bands are incredibly technically gifted and there is a reason why both bands are legends in their own right. For some reason, though, I...
