    Nooblunders

    Hi all. I'm still a Noob. When I signed up to TB, I dove right in. Got some great information, indeed, but I made some blunders that turned my face red. I highly recommend reading the guidelines and any posts by the Mods before diving in like I did. Much better now! And I think I'll get much...

    Tone-quest: P-bass

    I think I got lucky on this one. Bought a new, off-the-shelf MIM P-Bass here in SF area California. Had it "Plecked" at SF works, (something every bass might want to consider), had La Bella flat 49-109's put on and a hipshot vintage (with the string ball shroud) bridge. That's it, and it...
