    Weird fretboard

    I bought a fretboard from ebay, it was supposed to be a bass fretboard, but I got a piece of trash instead. It's about 44cm long, not even the same as a guitar. Anyway, I got a refund, but I thought that maybe I could use it anyway, since they let me keep it. What do you guys think? Can I make...

    Low quality instruments vs. medium quality

    Hey guys, I'm a junior bassist and I recently discovered (after 12 years of playing) that there are short scale basses, and I bought a Harley Benton secondhand for 40€ to try it out, and I found that it is much more comfortable for me to play, since I'm a young lady with tiny hands and also have...

    How do you remove pickup covers?

    I bought a Precision style bass and I wanted to change the pickup covers (they're black, and I wanted white). After I disassembled the bass, I thought they would be easy to remove, but I couldn't. Is there a trick or tip I can use? Maybe I'm just not using enough force?
