    What bass combo is this ?

    Hi all, I´ve come across this image in a video, but I can´t figure what bass amp brand this is. This video is from 1982 so the amplifier must be from the 70s or very early 80s. The image is not very clear, but it seems to say " sound ". And also something like " Fonna " below, but that looks...

    That vintage almost roundwound slap

    Hi, I don´t use pick. Only finger attack. I am also not a fan of roundwounds or "zing" in my sound. However, I know that many bass players used them in the 70s or even 80s and got a tone has no zing in it, but still, it bites very well while still sounding vintage. Well, it wasn´t back in the...

    ´21 Squier CV 60s Precision pickup vs Fender original 62 P

    Dear all, I have this bass with the stock pickups. It is not that the pickups that come with it sound bad, but I wonder how the Fender 62 original (not the custom) compares. I don´t have any comparison as it is my first P-bass, but I would like my bass to sound as "correct" as possible to what...

    Is this a "dead" note ?

    Hi, I´ve looked in the search function and apparently I have 1 or 2 dead notes in my Squier Classic Vibe precision bass. This is a pain in the arse. They are next to each other: C and Db (3rd and 4th fret in A string and 5th to 6h fret in G string. I just rarely reach these notes in the 10th and...

    Safest way to remove headstock paint from Harley Benton MB4

    Hi all, I always wanted to remove this paint from the headstock. Should I do it chemically or phisically. Both? The least agressive even if more time consuming would be perfect. Any suggestions on the method ? I just want it to look like normal wood ! Thanks!

    Hi, I play in a small orchestra using my Hofner violin bass. I already have a bass combo, but I need to change. I am currently using a 2009 Kustom DE100 1x15" (2 front bass reflex ports) which has great features and a deep low tone which I appreciate but need to manage and keep under control...

    Flatwounds for Harley Benton Musicman copy

    Hi everyone, I´ve been playing with some sort of half-round (or semi-flatwounds) strings in my Music man. They´re quite ok and the bite is between my Hofner flats and normal roundwound strings. But i´d like to install some real flats because I prefer that tone better, just like the ones in my...

    Stagg MB-300 vs Harley Benton MB-4

    Hi, I´m a bit divided between these two. But new, the Harley Benton MB-4 is half the price and both are entry level basses, so they seem. I´m looking for a passive stingray kind of bass. And fit a P50s pickup in the middle. Volume + Tone + 4 way switch. Also, the Harley benton, seems to have 2...
