    Double Bass How do I set my string height using this tool?

    I recently acquired a new-to-me Shen upright bass after playing electric only for about 20 years. I know I should take it to a pro to get it set up, but the closest guy to me is about 30 minutes away and I just don't havre a lot of time or occasion to make the trip. Mostly I just want to make...

    Can I reattach this broken nut piece?

    A small piece of the nut from my p-bass just broke off at the E string, and I still have the broken piece. Is it possible for me to glue this back on, or do I need to bite the bullet and replace the whole nut? It's a vintage bass that's all original so I'd rather not replace it if possible.

    I'm stumped, help me ID these Seymour Duncan pickups.

    Just picked up a late 70s Fender P bass and was surprised to see that the pickups had been swapped out to something I had never seen before. They're Seymour Duncan's with three tiny switches on one of the pickups, and they must be active because someone also did a battery route on the back of...

    SOLD Fender American Original '60s Precision Bass neck

    Fender American Original '60s Precision Bass replacement neck with nice rosewood fretboard. Perfect neck for your next P-bass project!

    I'm certain this neck is DOA but maybe there's a chance?

    I found what could could be considered a dream bass (1970 Fender P bass) at a great price on Guitar Center's used site last week, and because of their return policy it made it easier to roll the dice and lessen any risk. The bass showed up yesterday and the very first thing I noticed was how...

    How to fix chips in poly finishes

    I have a beater MIM Fender jazz bass in natural ash finish. It has a bunch of chips in the poly/clear coat that I'd like to try my hand at repairing. I'm not that concerned that they look perfect, just that the chips wont get worse. Most of the tutorials I've seen online involve fixing paint...

    VT Bass Deluxe plus Moog MF Drive - is this redundant?

    I've been wanting to add a dedicated drive pedal to my board, but I currently rock a VT Bass Deluxe (the one with the six programmable presents) at the end of my signal chain to do tone shaping and emulate an old school Ampeg tone. I've also become kinda obsessed with the Moog MF drive tone that...

    Stripping a non-poly 'finish'

    I recently picked up a warmoth P bass body which I believe is swamp ash. The original owner had attempted a paint job but gave up half way through, so I bought it as a project. There's no finish/clear on it, just a a half coat or so of matte paint. I've stripped poly basses before using a heat...
