    Hagstrom Viking Bass Tone and Volume Knobs

    Hi people, I just got myself a second hand Hagstrom Viking Bass and it's got one knob missing. I've tried to look for replacement knobs (originals) but not much out there from Hagstrom.

    Squier Fretless bass fretboard help!

    Tommy Cogbill: What a bass player!

    I've been obsessing over every record this great bass player has laid his grooves on. Most recently a couple of Solomon Burke's albums and From Elvis in Memphis.

    Identify this bass please

    Hi there, I was watching SNL and Young Thug came on, and although this is not my style of music at all, I was drawn by the fender bass his bass player was playing. It seems like a Fiesta Red 1950's precision bass? Looks also like the reissues that squier has put out but I can't seem to find...
