Hello all I'm reaching out for some guidance regarding my 2010 Sterling Music Man 5-string bass. I want to play my other basses, but I keep getting called for gigs that require reading along with my 5 string. No matter the effort, it neither plays nor sounds as I'd hope. I've invested in...

Hey y'all, So I finally fixed my initially horrendous wiring (done by me previously) on my 80s (maybe 70s?) Yamaha BB200F p-bass, and in my new found haste to do this today I had only realized I had put solid shaft pots (bourne) on my bass instead of the coarse spline as it originally had (I...

Hey yall, So I have recently splurged and gotten myself a Markbass Mini CMD 121 Combo, and I'm absolutely loving it. The more I use it, the more I begin to question the reasoning behind putting a balanced XLR input on the front face, I've read that it can be used for mic'd uprights, but I was...

Hello all, I have had this Cort C4 artisan for a few years now and it has been my main bass for as long as I've had it. Although I've done countless setups and restrings on it, I still have yet to figure out what the the 3rd screw on the saddles adjusts (picture included). It's right behind the...

Hello all, I have recently purchased a used '07 Fender Jazz Bass MIM and am having a slight problem with my volume pots. When the volume is all the way down, there is no volume, but the volume from about 1-9 is almost exactly the same, up until I max it and it reaches max volume. This is...
