I brought my bass to my uncle's house to turn some new hat pegs. I went inside for a drink and when I came back to the garage, he had used a dowel to punch out a hat peg from the opposite side while the machine was still in the head. The neck had a major wobble from side to side, so while I...

My new-old 1938 Kay Orchestral 3/4 ply - The SN is hard to read but I think it is 3090, placing its date of manufacture around 1938. Picked it up off of Craigslist from a wonderful elderly man who developed neuropathy and could no longer play. He has been playing upright since he was a teen and...

Hey all! I started my upright bass journey a few months ago and am putting together a small rig to play gigs this summer. I am playing with two groups, one bluegrass and the other, gypsy jazz. Both groups are starting to get gigs so I have done tons of research to find the best solution for live...

I've been playing my 5 string Tradition which I really enjoy. It lightweight, has a neck-through design, feels good in my hands, has a comfortably wide string spacing, all things I really enjoy, but sounds very dull and muddy in comparison to the basses I have owned/own. I have a Dean European...

Hey all! I am in the process of conditioning he fretboard and restringing a new to me 2001 Dean European Custom Select Improv 4. I’m really exited to get the action down and hear how it sounds with some fresh steel! I noticed that some, and really a majority of the frets have a small amount of...

I picked this bass up through craigslist for a great price and am really astounded by the quality of this beauty! I never thought of Dean as a high end brand, but this bass is really wonderfully crafted. Apparently this was made by the same factory as Spector, and it even has a Spector Badass...

Hey everyone! Long time lurker here, finally emerging from the depths of old threads to say hello and ask for sage advice, or any advice really! I took a long hiatus from playing music and recently came back to playing bass, which has always where I felt most comfortable. about 5 months ago I...
