Guitarist bias, man... Fender sells tuning machine mounting screws in sets of twelve, but Fender basses need sixteen. I had to buy two full sets for my bass and ended up with eight extras... so, to spare others the trouble, I am selling the extras. I have two sets of four for sale. Buy a set...

Chrome Hipshot KickAss 4 string bridge in excellent shape, very clean. Brass saddles. I took this off of a bass I bought (I prefer a plain old bent plate bridge). Comes with everything pictured: bridge, mounting screws, box, manual. $60 shipped to lower 48

3 Hipshot HB2 tuners + 1 BT2 Xtender. 70s Fender style. They're in excellent shape, very clean. All screws are included; not sure if original to the set but the main thing is that the four for the Xtender are flat top (the rest are round top). No ferrules included. Posts are 9/16", or 14mm...

PRICE DROP! Here is your standard G&G vintage style case made for Fender, with a not-very standard orange lining. Vibes! This came with a Vintage FSR Jazz Bass I bought, but I am more of a gig bag guy. Based on the age of the bass it came with, I would say this is less than a decade old. It...

Question for those who know: If the Fender GL is supposed to be a faithful reproduction of Geddy's '72 jazz bass down to the sanded-thin neck, why do they make it with a 9.5" fretboard radius if--and correct me if I am wrong--Fender's standard at the time was 7.25"? Not that I'm complaining --...

I recently picked up a well-played bass that has the usual play wear but also some really aggressive pick scratches that look kind of unnatural. I can live with the chips and dings, but these pick scratches are just kind of gross. If every blemish has a story, the one for these seems to be that...

In my search for "the one", I have an opportunity to buy a Fender FSR 75 American Jazz. This is from the more recent run with the TV logo, etc. Anybody have any experience with these? I know they were a short run but ya never know. It would be replacing a CIJ Geddy Lee, which is a very good...

Does anybody know exactly what Gotoh's Res-o-lite tuners are made of (specifically, the GB640 ones)? I can't get a straight answer on what "duralumin" is. Research on here brings suggestions from aluminum to plastic... does anybody know for sure?

I have a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass that I'd like to give a makeover. I'm leaving the body refinish to the pros, but thought I would tackle the neck on my own. The goal is to give it that delicious honey/amber vintage tint, preferably with a wipe-on product (apartment = no spraying) Looking at old TB...

Hipshot BT2 Extender Key, used, in great condition. Comes with screws, ferrule, instructions, original packaging. Taken from a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass I bought (these aren't really my thing) $55 shipped lower 48

Hi all, I'm looking to get a bass refinished and would prefer to deal with them directly as opposed to shipping. Can anybody steer me in the direction of somebody in the NYC area I could patronize? And it's no complicated job, just stripping the old black poly and refinishing in a one-color...

I found an MIJ JB75 for sale online, and knowing that these can be on the heavy side asked the seller for the weight. Their response: 8 pounds. Forgive me for being wary but it seems too good to be true... can any experts out there confirm that this is possible for this model (or Fender J's in...

Hi all, I need to get a black pickguard for a MIJ JB62. WD is kind of vague with their model names; do any of you have experience using any of them, or another aftermarket seller, on this particular model and can point me in the right direction? (I asked them and they were unsure and suggested I...

I'm shopping around for a main bass and want to go with an older MIJ/CIJ. Basically I have it narrowed down between JB62, JB75, and Geddy Lee. Unfortunately unless I luck out and find one locally, my shopping is online so I have to deal in generalities and ask yall for advice. So... My main...

I'm in the market for a used MIJ/CIJ Fender Jazz and came across this unusual specimen in the sea of generic finishes and I really love the vibe but am curious if this is a legit and rare finish, or a refinish job. It looks like the neck was sanded so there's no s/n to use to check for the year...

Does anybody have any experience with the Wipe On Poly that StewMac sells? Too good to be true? I want to refinish a bass and wouldn't mind taking on a little project (and saving the money) but living in an apartment where spraying is out of the question, this looks like it could be a good...

Apologies in advance for yet another Geddy Lee Jazz Bass thread... BUT I've decided to buy one (MIJ/CIJ). I've done a fair bit of TB research on this history of this model, enough to make my head spin... There are a few options I'm looking at and there is one being sold locally that looks to be...

Here is a 2013 Fender American Deluxe Jazz V with OHSC & accessories. Condition: This bass is excellent. Finish is in great shape, some tiny dings & scratches in the gloss here and there that you can't really see against the grain. Neck is in great shape, a very tiny indent here and there but...

Here is a 2011 Fender American Deluxe Jazz with OHSC & accessories. Condition: This bass is pretty much pristine. Finish is nearly perfect, just some fine scratches on the back and the pickguard. Same with the neck - I looked and could only find a very small, imperceptible indent on the back on...

I'm considering buying a MIJ Geddy Lee that has some pretty major blemishes in the finish, well beyond the usual wear marks. Why? The price obviously, but also it presents an opportunity to unite two desires: to get a GL, but I also have a serious thing for that old school Fender walnut/mocha...

So, we all have our quirky little aesthetic things that we dig, something that's truly superficial but nevertheless as significant a factor when considering an instrument as its fretboard material or electronics. Mine is that funky, oversized "JAZZ BASS" in serif typeface curving across the...

I am a drummer first and a bassist second, but this year has turned that on its head. So, I have been focusing more on stepping my bass game up. For years I've made do with a Squier CV Jazz and decided that I ought to graduate to a proper Fender Jazz... which naturally became three, because it...

The edge of the nut on my 90s MIJ 62 RI fretless chipped off, so it's time for a new one. However, I don't know if it's flat or radiused on the bottom and don't want to remove it to find out, then wait for the replacement to arrive (there's enough of a ridge keeping the string in place for...

I just bought a 90s MIJ fretless jazz, and want to replace the pickguard. The official Fender one that's sold at my local GC is annoyingly just ever so slightly off in terms of fit (it's meant for MIA). So, I have to take to the internet which leaves me with either custom ($$$) or the various...

I recently bought my first five string, which is a Fender (4+1). It's an awesome bass, and I want to put flats on it. The current B does seem a little 'floppy' which I suppose might be expected with a 34" scale. Also, based on the E, the strings seem to me to be a lighter gauge so that might be...

I need something battery powered for playing in the park, on the street, etc. Other than myself, the ensemble is acoustic and has a drummer. Looking at old TB threads I see praise for the Roland Cube Street EX; does anybody here have extensive experience with it? And, are there any other options...

Hello, I am a Fender American Deluxe Jazz owner (N3 pickups). I am considering swapping out the electronics, and the Audere with the 3-way Z switch seems like the way to go. A few questions about this: -What pickups pair well with it? I realize that I will get as many answers to this as there...
