I figured that I would leave this here for anyone that may need it. Yes, the video is three years old, but I think these are great words to hear and attempt to minimize GAS. As I get older, I realize less IS, in fact, more in most cases.

So my stable is now three and here she is: A 2000 Fender AVRI '62 Fender precision bass in Olympic white. Complete with all case candy. It definitely needs a setup and a change of strings, but it's killer!

I was looking at some of the split coil jazz pickups that are on the market. (Delano, Seymour duncan apollo, lindy Fralin split coils, etc.) I'm curious what are people's experience with split coil jazz pickups and what luck (or not) they have had with them. Any recommendations are...

I just thought that I would leave this for anyone looking for interesting upgrades to their basses. I bought a prewired control plate from this company and it is definitely a great upgrade over the traditional VVT setup The one I personally purchased was a vol/rotary switch / V12B control...

So I'm looking to buy a NordyMute and I'm not sure which string spacing would work on my basses. I have a 2013 AVRI '64 Fender Jazz bass & a 1975 Fender precision bass I've seen either 20mm or 19mm would work but I'm not sure. Any help would be great Thank you!

So I have been the proud owner of a 1975 Fender Precision bass for the last 17 years. Recently, I have had a couple of issues with the volume and tone knobs sounding 'scratchy.' to say the least. There isn't a lot of 'response' as the volume is either 1 or 10 and the tone is the same way...

I've been taking bass lessons with a local teacher for the last month and I can say that I feel my playing has improved a lot with direction from regular lessons. What I am curious about is what do you all do when you feel stuck? *What I mean is a feel stuck with practicing because there is...

Good Evening, I have my jazz bass and I took a scotch brite pad to the neck to knock off some of the finish and I feel I went too far. I'm not concerned about resale value but I want to know if I should do something to protect it. If needed, would I need to finish the back of the neck with...

Im just curious if anyone has used a fender rumble 115 with an aguilar th 500 a TH 500 came up in local classifieds and I didn't know what people's experience was with this setup. I currently use a fender rumble 500 combo with the rumble 115 extension cab. It's a great and lightweight setup...

I have to opportunity to purchase an ampeg heritage SVT cl locally but I currently have a fender rumble 500 with an extra fender rumble 115 cab. I know what I have is more than enough, but the more I have been looking at this ampeg, I'm pretty impressed. The only con I can see is the extra...

I am the proud owner of a 1975 Fender precision bass. I have done nothing to it except change the pickguard which cracked near the output jack (still have the' original). Recently, I brought the bass in for a set up and the guitar tech noticed that the sound seemed off. After further...

Free music composition and notation software | MuseScore I am just leaving this here in case if anyone was looking for a way to create their own sheet music. It's a great platform and more importantly, FREE It's great to create sheet music to practice to or to compose original material

So after some bartering and saving I have consolidated my collection of basses down to my 1975 Fender Precision Bass and this! It's a 2013 Fender AVRI 64' Jazz Bass in Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock. The previous owner swapped out the pickups for Fender Custom Shop 60's and they...

I have been reading more about the Irig 2/ Irig 2 HD with mixed reviews what are peoples thoughts about this? I'm mostly looking to use it to record to my phone and send Ideas back and forth to my drummer to bounce ideas off each other. I like the other capabilities of the irig but I dont...

I know this seems ridiculous, but I've always been one to learn a song by ear and never really 'count' per se. Within reason, I can always lock into a song I hear when im learning through tabs, but I want to be able to bring my playing to the next level. I'm currently going through Marks...

I have a chance to buy a used boss rc20xl near me but I've never owned a loop pedal before and would like to use it for practice. What can people tell me about the rc20xl and the rc30? Is the RC 30 better? worse? I'm not sure

Good Morning Ive been looking for a new amp since I sold mine years ago. Now that I'm back to playing I would like something in the 50W to 100W range. Any advice or reasons you have bought your amp would be appreciated!

I bought a Vox amplug 2 Bass at my local music store and have been playing it for a couple of days. I notice that it works way better in my precision bass compared to my Aerodyne Bass. Has anyone else had this problem? In my aerodyne I can barely get any output from the bass and it constantly...

Good Morning, I've taken a hiatus from bass playing and have been trying to find a good place to 'knock the rust off' and get back into playing how I used to. Any direction would be appreciated in the form of links/youtube channels/ or anything on this forum. Thank you! P.S. Sorry if this...

Hello I am looking to upgrade the pickups in my Fender Aerodyne Bass. After researching many different pickups, I believe that I am torn between the P/J quarter pounders and the Lightin' Rods sets. Any advice/personal experience from each set? Also when I upgrade these pickups, do most leave...
