    hanging your basses on the wall?

    I was advised against it due to the weight of the body constantly pulling on the neck. I just keep mine on 2 racks, no probs at all. Plus my wife wouldn't like having 10 basses hanging on the wall ;-)

    Fender Jazz 24 neck

    I know, I've had it for a few years and the only thing that happened was a bad pot and occasional preamp issue, nothing major though. I brought it in for a setup and the guy said the neck had too much bow. He tried replacing the truss rod, putting it in a vice and putting heat to the neck. No...

    Fender Jazz 24 neck

    Anyone know where I can get a neck for this bass? Mine has a bad neck and needs replacement. I don't know if i should trust one from Ebay as it may we also warped. Fender does not offer replacements and the bass was discontinued. It's an awesome bass so I'd like to save it if possible. Thanks!!

    What Bass do YOU use for Church??

    P bass does not suck at all. If your sound is "muddy" there's probably too much going on in the mix, that's not the bass's fault. I use both and more in my church but I favor the J bass because it can get any sound I need. I would vote for the J due to it's flexibility and you can always add a...

    Carllo Robelli basses?

    I've owned a 4 and 5 string. Nice looking but had cheap tuners and decent sounding but weak pickups. I still have a 4 string acoustic that I keep for using around the house. I wouldn't buy another one though.

    What pickups do you use with your Jazz Bass & Audere Preamp??

    I love the Audere preamp. I put it in my MIM 70s J bass with stock pickups, tone is great to me. I also threw it in my Squier VM J for a while and it was awesome there too (stock pickups as well). This is a great quality preamp and very easy to install, long battery life too. Have you tried...

    What can you say about EMG's line of preamps?

    I just installed a pair of EMG J (active) in my Fender Deluxe 24 and couldn't be happier. They were a drastic upgrade (to me) over the Basslines that came with the bass, I found them to be too boomy and could never get a clean tone from them. So I took them out with the preamp and put the EMG...

    Vintage Blake P Bass

    Cool! Glad to hear someone else knows about it. Mine also had the EMG Select pickup but over time it just died so I had it replaced, I still have it in the closet somewhere though. I agree, the quality is just amazing for a Fender copy. Mine is also all black.

    Vintage Blake P Bass

    I posted something about this a few years ago. I'm trying again;) Has anyone ever heard of or seen this type of Bass?? I've had it for I guess 20 years now. My mom got it for me when I was like 14. It's very nice quality for a clone, even has an Ebony fret board. Just curious if anyone has...

    Whos's heard of Blake bass?

    Hey everyone, just curious, has anyone ever heard of the brand Blake? I still have my first bass, it's a Blake P bass I got when I was 12. It's black, came with EMG selects, nice neck with Ebony fretboard, no skunk stripe. Seems like a very nice copy, I can't find any info on this. Maybe...

    Squier Owners Club

    Relax man, it's not a big deal. It's my project and I'm not going to sell it so why should it matter? I still have my first bass which is a Blake P-Bass (15yrs now). This has been modded and I will never sell it. Besides, I love Squier, I have another VM Jazz and I'm thinking of picking up...

    Squier Owners Club

    I just finished removing the Squier logo on my VM Jazz bass.:D For those interested in doing the same, it's very simple. I used Citristrip(safe for indoor use) stripper and 0000 steel wool. Now can someone tell me where to buy a 70's style Fender logo? Incase you're wondering, I'm...

    Squier Owners Club

    :help: How did you remove the logo? It's not a decal so should I sand it off? I see the nail polish remover, I tried some on a cotton ball but it didn't do anything. Please help. Thanks!
