    Stingray (Ray34) tuning machine replacements

    I think I am soon going to be picking up a Sterling Stingray Ray34. I've read in numerous reviews that the tuning gears that come with the bass strip out easily. If that is the case and I need to swap them out, are there any aftermarket tuners that fit in the same slot/screwhole pattern as the...

    Someone wants to pay w/ cashier's check - is this a scam?

    Sorry, I know this isn't bass related, but I didn't know where to ask. I posted a Two Notes Torpedo Captor X for sale on Reverb. Someone offered me asking price and asked me to text them. They asked if they could pay with cashier's check. I've never been asked this; is this some sort of scam or...

    What type of bass are P&W bassists playing?

    I’m sure this has been discussed as nauseam, but I couldn’t find a poll regarding what style of bass most worship bassists are playin. let’s have fun!

    <$150 gig bag??

    So I have a little Christmas cash and would like to upgrade my gig bag. I really like the style similar to the Mono Vertigo where you remove the bass from the top of the bag. I only play locally, and can't justify paying $250 for a gig bag. Anyone have any recommendations for a vertical remove...

    Keeley Bassist or Empress Bass Compressor?

    I currently have a JHS Pulp N Peel as my compressor, but the coloring it adds to my signal doesn’t sound great with my other pedals. I want a compressor that just works and doesn’t add color to my sound. I had decided I wanted to get a Keeley Bassist, but I see a lot of people raving about the...

    Poly paint chip; reduce further chipping.

    I have a Mexican Jaguar with a poly finish that I just found a sizable chip on the heel. I don’t want to try to repair it, but it’s slightly uncomfortable and I don’t want it to keep chipping. Would you guys sand down the hard edges or something else? Again, I’m not trying to fill it...

    Volume/tone interaction question

    4 months ago or so, I installed a set of SD Quarter Pounders in my Jaguar bass (PJ set). Recently I noticed that if the tone is rolled all the way down, the volume drops off a cliff when I roll it down even a little bit. I’m not sure if it has been like this since they were installed or not. Is...

    Best easy to use compressor?

    I play in a worship band and currently use a JHS Pulp N Peel as my compressor. I like it, but it adds a little grittiness that I would rather not be added from the compressor. I have found that if any pedals have too many knobs/switches I have trouble picking a setting, get frustrated, and look...

    Removing clear coat on maple fretboard?

    I have a MIM Jaguar bass that has a gloss coat on the maple fretboard. Im considering stripping the clear coat off it it can be done well. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, how? Any regrets?

    P&W stage presence??

    I’m somewhat newer to playing in a worship band at church. I’m trying to find the right stage presence during sets. I don’t want to jump around and be a distraction, but I also don’t want to stare off blankly onto the distance. Any input?

    Low volume practice on Fender Bassbreaker 15?

    I don't have a bass amp; we go direct at church where I play and I use a Aguilar TH. I do have a Bassbreaker 15 guitar amp at home. I'm curious if y'all think it would be detrimental to the amp if I practiced (by myself, playing with music through studio monitors) at home at low volumes through...

    IEMs with good bass response?

    Anyone have any good recommendations for reasonable IEMs that have good bass response? I got some CCA C12 that supposedly had a pronounced bass. I can’t hear myself or the kick at all..

    Would a HPF actually add any value?

    I play at church. If FOH is running a hpf through the soundboard, would adding a hpf pedal on my board add any value? I am noticing that when I play, many of the lowest notes rattle the ceiling tiles at normal levels. When the other guys in the rotation play, this doesn’t happen. I do play...

    Weird string buzz phenomenon - help

    Hey, I’m still newer to bass, so be kind if the answer to this question is obvious. I’m learning some songs for an upcoming set, and in one song I play 7the fret E string and 7th fret G string. When I do, the G string makes an awful buzz. If I lift my finger off the E string the buzz stops...

    Which bass preamp/DI would you choose (just for fun)

    So I am happy with my tone and don’t have the budget for any additions right now, so this is just for fun. I play a Jaguar bass (only use the P pickup) in a P&W setting and use a tone hammer for my tone shaping > Radial DI box. I am happy with my tone, but you see people rave about the Noble...
