    Early 70s Fender P-Bass Pickup stamping/dating

    I own a 1970 P-Bass that appears to have just one original pickup (see pic). From what I read, most people state to decipher the number stamp as week and year, - not sure how that would work on a 7170 numbering, as there is no 71st week in a year ... I'm looking to replace the one pickup to...

    Fender P-Bass Neck Heel Stamp

    Trying to date a bass I have been offered, starting with deciphering one of those odd 6 digit neckheel stamps. The neck is off a 1970 P-Bass (as per serial number plate), that has oddly enough two 137 6642 pots. I find hints online how to decipher these, and as per those this may be a 5 (P-Bass)...

    1983 Precision Elite II truss rod nut issues

    I own a 1983 Elite II that I encounter problems with to access and insert an allen wrench for adjustment into the truss rod nut. None of my regular size truss rod tools (i.e. Fender 3/16") will fit. The nut looks like it shifted in the access hole and appears to be bigger than the access hole...

    Incredibly rare Duesenberg D-Bass particularly as a 5 string version, since the D-Bass is no longer being produced by Duesenberg in Germany.

    Mysterious half-round strings, purple silk wrap top and bottom -

    Got this sea-foam green metallic P-Bass Special bass that I bought used with a set of strings on there which I love the sound and the feel off. Unfortunately the E-String developed a defect, giving me a buzz, so I needed to replace it. Thought the strings were the original Fender strings, but...

    Washburn B20 Bass Tuning machine needed

    I own a B20 bass by Washburn that recently suffered some damage during transit, whereas the bass shifted in the case and broke the G String tuner. Now these are open gear tuners, kind of like Fenders with a clover shape key, but unlike on Fenders the base is not made of steel with 4 mounting...
