    Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 String Pickguard Free

    I somehow wound up with a like-new black pearloid pickguard and backplate for a Fender 5 string jazz (maybe Deluxe with active soapbars), that I have no use for. I've tried giving it away locally, but I guess no one has a need. I hate throwing them away, but I'm cleaning up my workspace and need...

    What's the scoop on Sandberg?

    Sandberg basses, I see them popping up online more frequently lately. Never seen one in person. How are they? And maybe more specifically, how do their vintage Fender style basses compare to other vintage Fender style basses? I'm aware they're made in Germany. Looking more for player experience...

    Going from Nickel to Stainless?

    I have a set of stainless strings that I wound up with by mistake and never used. Coincidentally, they are extra long (35-36) scale and I have a 35" scale 5 string Pbass. I've always used nickel wound string, for rounds at least. Just had a new set of Dunlop super bright nickels with a bad A...

    I switched from drums to bass when I was around 15 y/o in 1996. I actually had some piano lessons at 8-9, got a drum kit around 10, played tuba in beginning band for a short stint maybe 12-13, then starting playing in garage bands on drums from 13-15. I can't remember what first prompted the...

    GHS Balanced Nickels vs. DR Pure Blues

    Similar? Different? Anyone try both and prefer one over the other? I've been on a set of GHS BN (the light 4 string set) for about a month and like them. But I ordered the DR Pure Blues 40-95 set today. I'm recently converted to light strings and trying out several sets to find the right tone.

    Anybody know a source for a (probably custom) gold-anodized aluminum pickguard for a Lakland Skyline 44-64 pbass? I've tried contacting tone-guards.com via their web contact page twice and haven't received a response. Looks like most of the other custom pickguard shops are using the faux...
