Any recommendations? I need to replace some foam in an OHSC that sacrificed itself to protect the instrument during shipping. Whats the best easily-available glue for reattaching original lining over replaced foam sections that is known to be nitro safe? Anyone know actual brands the factory...

Staring closely at Gibson's "Bullion Gold" finish, especially as it appears on the 50th anniversary Thunderbird... It looks like it's a slightly darker than "goldtop" metallic gold, sprayed over a well-sanded but unsealed/unfilled mahogany so the grain 'pits' show through, then over-sprayed...

I'm a lefty player and a kitbuilder, lifelong tinkerer, and middling-capable woodworker. On-hand tools extend to hand tools, band saw, belt sander, drill press, routers, and a good collection of Dremel add-ons and optional extensions like the workstand/ press, router table, and so forth. I'm...

Pros, cons, sound samples? What little Ive been able to find and hear online, I like... but mostly they were installed in high end instruments with who knows how much processing. May grab a set to upgrade a bass currently fitted with Stewmac Golden Age split P's but would love to hear from...

I've searched widely, and though I've got notoriously strong Google-fu I cannot find a legit source for new, unused, genuine Gibson BASS pickups. Gibson sells guitar pickups on their website. Not a single bass pickup listed. Specifically, I'm looking for a 105877 "Rhy EB Bass" pickup for my DC...

I'm a fairly new player, and being a lefty I dont get a lot of experience around basses I dont actually own. I have five basses, one of which is a kit build, in varying scales from 30" to 35". On all but one bass, the saddles after intonation are more or less in a line angling up from the low...

Delivered a full day early by FedEx, and 2 earlier than expected as I thought the case was arriving today, and the bass on Tuesday. Happily, it'll be the other way around. A lot of firsts in this unboxing: First instrument purchase from Sweetwater; impressive service. First neck-thru bass...

I've got one of those brainlock mental quests that can drive a person bonkers until resolved, and I could use some help from the more experienced folks around here. There is a fairly common pattern of triplets where the emphasis of the beat "rolls" or "rotates" from first, to second, to third...

I recently completed my first bass kit build; it's a PJ config that I routed & drilled for PJ/JJ swap capability. Previous build experience was one LP-config guitar which tuned out really well, and various mods and upgrades on my guitars over the last 5 years. It's my 2nd 'actual' bass; I have...

Hi, all, from sweaty SoCal. This was all kind of surprising, but I found myself in possession of a beautiful new bass, so I figured I should learn how to play it. To make things interesting, the bass is right-handed. I'm pretty much not. But hey, since neither hand knows how to play bass, it...
