    Dumb question from noob on a Fender project bass

    Hi All - I’m starting to put together some project basses. Currently have an Ultra II Jazz neck and looking for a loaded body. Ultras have 5 holes and I’m wondering if there’s any reason I can’t / shouldn’t use a ‘regular’ Fender 4 hole body (other than having to drill new holes)? Hoping my TB...

    Is this legit?

    Hey TB’ers. I’m a noob here but love the site. Smack-dab in the middle of my mid-life crisis, and I’m hoarding gear (instead of buying a Porsche). Next step is to learn to play and even gig! Saw this Carvin R1000 w/ 4x10 + 18. Looks like a pretty gnarly set up, and I asked a friend who’s a...
