Dunno if these are new or not, but I haven't seen them before. Don't know anything about them, but AllParts sent me an email that looked pretty nice. Caveat Emptor! AllParts Pickups Look for the Razor logo. They seem to have "Full Moon" and "Blood Moon" flavors of P, J, and 51P pickups.

On my iPhone using Safari, at the top of every page I see: Check your scripts, please? :laugh:

I dunno if anyone around here wants a Tele, but Aaron at Warmoth posted a video on YT today showing their limited (only 5!) rosewood Tele bodies. Besides that they are beautiful and worth peeking at, part of the video shows them getting built in the Warmoth factory as a pancake chambered body...

AllParts offering $100 off if you buy a Primo body and a BadAss II bridge together.

I want to stain an ash body red. I’m trying to use transtint red in denatured alcohol. Current mix is 60 drops in 6 oz alcohol. Luckily I tried first on a sample board. Result is a nice shell pink so far. I could do multiple passes, or a stronger mix, but thought I’d solicit some advice before...

Saw that the new Primo bass bodies from AllParts have a few with front binding, and ordered one. Disappointed that the “binding” is just a paint stripe. Also, the body does have a tummy cut, but no forearm contour, and the front roundover is quite sharp, probably sharper than a 51 P has. All in...

Trying to design stuff that someone at home can print or get a friend to print for them that lets them do easier tasks that don't necessarily need a workshop. In the past, I designed a jig to easily adjust (shorten) the height of an acoustic guitar saddle without worrying about tilting the...

I’ve got new ads where I’d like to add this, and oddly I have older ads that have it set with no obvious way to turn it off. I guess I can add it to the ad text, but just wondering. Didn’t see any announcement it was going away.

Fender has a new MIM Steve Harris P listed on the US website. Satin black body, no FC logo, with maple body wood. Maple neck. Interestingly, chrome pick guard. The thing that makes me go hmm—the pickup is just listed as “Fender split P bass pickup”, with no further info. I do like maple...

IMHO needs a matching headstock.

I've got a PJ with a side jack, and the manufacturer drilled the screw holes for the football shaped plate slightly off. I can plug and redrill without it showing, but wouldn't mind if I could just build something into the 7/8 hole in the side of the body. Problem: I like using right-angle...

When I see these "Help me date this bass?" or "Dating a XXXXXX" threads, I have to refrain from posts like: "Well, start by taking it out to dinner." or "I hope the two of you will have a happy future together." Anyone else, or is that just me? :roflmao:

I did a search on Aeris on TB, and all the hits I got were pretty much my own posts. So what is it? It's a packing system for shipping guitars and basses. Comes with the box and the padding. For guitars, they've got several specialized flavors, but for bass the one kit supports uncased...

My buddy messaged me this morning, wanted to look at acoustic guitars at GC, wanted me to come with. :bassist: So we get there, go into the acoustic room, and there's guitars all over the walls with no real organization other than brand. There's a guy trying out a few guitars at the other end...

I taught it about music theory, scales, frets, fretting, plucking, slapping, set lists, hating guitarists, firing drummers, flats, rounds, carrots, and 2^20 other things. But when it got down to playing, it turned out it had a tin ear. 👂 :roflmao:

They’ve got the Road Worn 50s P maple neck on sale for $200 off. ($499->$299) I haven’t tried one, but have heard they’re nice.

He restores the most thrashed guitars and basses to if not factory, then to complete usability. He just restored a Fernandes that someone had attempted to bash to oblivion. No talking, and the products he uses are in Japanese. The restoration is great, but his demos at the end...:rolleyes:

I thought it was interesting, anyway. YMMV. I especially liked the 3D chord dissonance graph.

Bought this off SW. It seems to work great. I'm using it with a USB power brick to power my strobostomp mini (which I leave the display always on) without disturbing my pedalboard setup. This is a simple cable--one end has a USB-A plug, the other has a 9V barrel plug to power a pedal. SW says...

I’ve owned 4-5 previous Warmoth necks. Some I love, some didn’t meet my needs. But they’ve all been top quality. TBH, this new neck is very nicely made. I’m just questioning a build detail. Mostly posting so others might be aware before ordering. Oddly enough, this is my first Warmoth neck...

All right, this seems like it hasn't been beaten to death in a while, let's get a thread going on jack location. Show you know jack! For my part, I like top jacks best, but not enough to avoid getting a bass with a side jack. For side jacks, I don't like recessed tele style, as I prefer right...

I put this into the Danny Sapko thread, but I think it's amazing enough to stand on it's own.

I seem to recall Fender wanted 35-40 bucks for 9050 strings on their web site. Went there tonight, and they're charging $70 now. Went over to the big A and got them for $29. Dunno if that'll continue or if Fender will also raise prices to retailers. A lotta other flats start being more...

So, I was perusing the showcase at Warmoth, as one does, and saw this P body. Last thing I need in the world is another P, but I knew I must have it! This is my first all-Warmoth build. Taos Turquoise satin over ash body, unfinished roast maple warhead neck, which I treated with Howard's...

Looking for a 3 string string tree with a diagonal orientation. For an example of what I'm looking for, Sandberg seems to use these. TIA!

Found an old thread on this but looks like most of the recommended pedals are discontinued. What are people liking for reverb these days? TIA!

In a normal two pickup circuit, when only one pickup is in use, the other is essentially shorted to ground by the turned-down volume pot. Contrast that with a circuit using a switch to select pickups. Often the unselected pickup is disconnected (at least on the hot lead) from the circuit...

I had a set of these on an Ibanez hollowbody guitar, and with the Invisomatch plates they sell, it was a quick drop in installation, and while cost was on the high end, it wasn't (at the time) a completely unreasonable cost. I quite liked them. So, with that background, I have been curious...

I've had a few ads that pretty much immediately get sold, but if that doesn't happen, it seems like bumping or not, it's likely not going to sell in a reasonable time frame. Of course if the item is undesirable, or the price is wrong, it's not going to sell. But things I think will be snapped...

Got a neck as part of a trade. Fender-shape headstock, no identifying marks I can see except this stamp on the back of the base of the neck. Flame maple, 21 fret. I'm thinking it's a generic Chinese neck, but wondering whether anyone has seen this "*USA*" stamp before? I would think a company...

Saw it on Bass Stuff on YT. Sounded good, and the bear's teeth lighting up was funnier than heck, so ordered one. Liking it so far, wondering whether others have thoughts, or suggestions for good settings?

I have a neck with 17.5mm (11/16") tuner holes. Would like to avoid reaming out to 18mm for the press in bushing-style tuners, not to mention drilling 16 holes for the screws. Hipshot Ultralights are perfect except for one thing: they are darn expensive. Any suggestions for cheaper...

THIS forum seems to be about how to use the classified section and issues therein. Is there a forum where it would be appropriate to discuss selling/buying things? Stuff like pricing, photo selection for good response, that kind of stuff?

Finished for now. Letting Tru-Oil outgas for a week before adding more coats or maybe just wax. Sound is very full and clear. Fralin pickups never fail to deliver. Specs: Body sorta 51P with modern bridge and pocket, flame maple cap 1/4" on ash, dyed with Transtint Dark Vintage Maple, then 6...

I gotta 'fess up. I ordered some tuners from Hipshot, accidentally pulled the trigger on lollipops instead of clovers. Hipshot and Oscar are great, no problem returning them. But I'm wondering what models/years of basses historically came with lollipops? TIA! FWIW, this is for my sorta-51 tele.

Starting work on an unfinished body with a flame maple cap. I'm thinking to use transtint or stewmac colortone to dye the maple with a bright color before applying Tru-Oil. I'm worried that the amber tones in the Tru-Oil will mute the dye color. Is there a finish similar to Tru-Oil that's...
