    NBD! Squier VM Jaguar stack-knob in....white?

    Just picked up a really NICE 2011 Vintage Modified Jaguar bass. Full scale, passive, stacked knobs, "Duncan Designed" pickups. Was thrilled to find this model in White, my favorite bass color, so I got it. Here's the deal...I can't find ANYthing on this model (or any Squier Jag, for that...

    NBD Peavey USA Fury!

    Just scored one heck of a LetGo find! 1996 Peavey Fury, P-style bass, made in USA. Picked it up for 125 bucks. This bass was still like brand new, and still had the film on the pickguard! Came with a nice, very well-made Peavey gig bag. Hardly a mark on this bass anywhere. Seller's late...

    NBD. Fender Player Jaguar!

    Decided to return a Player series Precision. It was still in the return period, and I just wanted something a little different. Loved the Tidepool color on the Precision I had, so I opted for that same color again..this time on a Player Jaguar. So far, looks like a great decision! I love...

    New Ibanez SR250 EQ issue

    Just picked up a new Pearl white Ibanez SR250 at GC. Great bass, I've had two or three of these in the past, and decided to pick up another. Anyway, this bass has the 3 band EQ (this is the holdout old-school SR with the CAP pickups, and no toggle switches, just Bass, Mid and Treble knobs.)...

    NBD. G&L Tribute LB100!

    Just got this a few days ago, and am really digging it. Tribute LB100 in Natural finish (ash body), with maple board. This is the all-around best P style bass I have owned. No doubt. Deep, rich tone, no dead spots that I have found. Feels great. Excellent build quality. Here's the...

    NBD Squier CV 70s P Bass. Craigslist score!

    Have been lamenting getting rid of my Matt Freeman Precision, especially now that they are discontinued. Well, I found the next best thing. Squier Classic Vibe 70s Precision. The guy I bought it from, ordered it online from GC about a year and a half ago. Apparently, he really isn't...

    NBD. New Fender MIM Precision. Upgraded Standard line!

    Was in my local GC yesterday. They had just unloaded a new MIM P bass. Upon closer look, a few things were different...The headstock logo..now the "spaghetti" script. Pickups....looks like Alnicos now... Sunburst finish seems more vivid.. Stamped "F" on the neckplate... hmm.. Yep...

    MIM Jazz Bass string tree question

    Just picked up a great 2013 Fender mim Standard J bass. Was being sold on consignment, at a local guitar shop. Absolute mint condition, with the plastic still on the pickguard. Anyway, a minor detail...but nonetheless. . The round string tree on this bass is chromed plastic. I thought...

    NBD. Fender Precision MIM

    MIM Standard P bass. Sunburst/rosewood. I've had one or two of these...and recently. GAS kicks up, and tells me that P basses are too darn ubiquitous, and that I need to try this one...or that one.. So I end up trading or selling the P, thinking I'm headed in a different direction, never...

    NOBD. Peavey Patriot!

    Found this Peavey Patriot at a pawn shop. Took it home for $ 160.00 out the door. Made in '87. Mahogany body. Was a little dirty, with dead, grungy strings. Volume pot a little scratchy. Lot of neck relief. Brought 'er home, cleaned 'er up, adjusted the truss rod a bit...

    Peavey Axcelerator 5 mid/treble issue

    Just picked up a '94 Peavey Axcelerator 5 string at a pawn shop. Active, with a stack bass and mid/treble control. The bass boosts and cuts fine, but the mid/treble has no effect whatsoever. Everything else on the bass works great. No crackling or anything, either. I opened it up, and...

    NBD Precision Special.

    Traded in some stuff at GC, and got an unexpected killer deal on a new Precision Special. The GC Seafoam pearl, J neck, passive model. I know there's a ton of positive feedback on this bass on TB, and deservedly so.. This is an awesome playing, and sounding bass. What can I add that hasn't...

    Double J NBD !

    Okay, well more like New Bass Week, but... I've been just crazy with the Gassing, swapping, returning, etc.etc., trying to nail down "my" instrument (I know I'm not alone here...). What really feels like "home" to me, is the Jazz Bass. The neck, the ergonomics, the look....and the sound...

    NBD P Bass Terror Twins!

    A few weeks ago, I purchased a new sunburst Fender Mx.Standard P bass. Quickly became my go-to bass. Found another identical one, on sale at GC. I traded some stuff in, and here we are. Yeah, may be silly having two identical basses, but I've already changed out the pickguard on the new...

    NBD. Ibanez SR300 w/updated pickups

    Just got this new SR300, with the new "Powerspan" pickups. I think that the pickups are a definite improvement over the old curved ones. Three way switch...single coil, boosted single coil, and humbucking. In boosted, or humbucking mode, this thing is seismic! Mahogany body, so it has a...

    Belated double NBD....J Bass content

    Have acquired two great MIM Jazz basses within the past coupla weeks. :hyper: First off, I ordered up a Deluxe Active J. Black. First one I recieved, the electronics were screwed up on it. Bridge pickup didn't function beyond a whisper. Zzounds made it right, though, and I had a...

    Dlx. Active Jazz Bass pickup issues...please help!

    Just got a brand new MIM Fender Deluxe active Jazz in today, from a "pay as you play" place. Still sealed tight in factory packaging, looks pristine. The issue is that the bridge pickup is barely audible, when knob is turned all the way to bridge position (this bass has a blend knob, not two...

    NBD Fender Am. Std. Jazz

    Here it is. The bass that I am fairly certain is a keeper, after several years of relentless GAS :smug:, and buying, selling, swapping, ..selling and buying back.. you get the idea. ;) American Standard Jazz Bass. 2015 model. Olympic White (always a favorite) , Maple fretboard, tort...

    NPBD.. times two!

    New Precision Bass Day, that is. ;) Actually, more like past two or three days, but who's counting? Anyway, I am in P bass heaven right now. I ordered a Vintage White Squier Matt Freeman, and it came in today. What can I say about this bass that hasn't been said? Hands down, one of the...
