    Fender American Professional Precision vs. Bluesman Vintage Deville vs. Nash PB

    I bought a Nash pb 57. Best bass I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned quite a few. Mine had Nordstrand pups (I bought it used). My son bought it from me and is using professionally. He feels the same way.

    Comment by 'lanceropolis' on the classified ad 'Bluesman Vintage P Bass 2022'

    Is this bass deep and big like some precisions when in a system or through an amp?

    Back playing bass after a 15 year break...

    This is so what I needed right now. I think in my case it was 10 years, but it is so frustrating to be back and know what you want to play and not being able to. You guys have really helped my outlook. Thank you!

    carvin b2000 vs mesa carbine m6?

    I have the M6, but i am thinking I probably want to go custom amp like Morgan before I upgrade to the M9... What is the awesome thing about the M9 Limeman?

    +1 on fieldy. I hate the clacky clack sound.

    Think I might have gotten converted today...

    My friend that pretty much sounds exactly like me. When I played my current 75 P, I knew that it was home. More than anything else ever had been. I am starting to think it isn't so much converted, as it is the chipping away of all the B.S. notions we talk ourselves into concerning what a bass...

    What is your studio bass?

    75 fender p. Never have wanted anything else since I picked her up.

    Why Nordstrand is unbelievably awesome...

    Even if they had horrible customer service, and they don't. Quite the opposite as you can tell from the testimonies here, you will not regret your purchase.

    cant take eyes off fretboard live

    Hmmm... Well, this is an assumption, but when you learn songs off a cd or however you practice just put the radio in front of you, and then stare at the radio while you play. Honestly the more you practice in general, the more you will get comfortable with the fretboard. You will start to...

    finding a band you want to be in is hard

    I tend to agree about the magic moments. However, I heard the story of a drummer, currently the drummer for David Gilmour and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Steve DiStanislau. Evidently the dude used to play for whoever asked him (i'm not sure of the scope of that, but the reliable source, a...

    Mesa-Boogie STUPID price control. I am mad!

    Coupla things. I used to work at GC, and as mentioned before, they really are not allowed to deal on Boogie. It is a fireable offense as far as I know, or it was when I worked there. And the person getting fired would be the assistant manager since they would have to be the one to approve it...

    Aguilar obp3 + Fender FMT V Jazz + Nordstrand NJ5s's = Heavenly tone

    Kwesi, I played it today through my rig, and it was soooooo legit. I have to admit I previously hadn't heard my nordy's, but it was a much "creamier" tone than I had even dreamed possible. I'll put a couple of recordings on here. I hope it sounds half as good tracked compared to live, but I...

    Aguilar obp3 + Fender FMT V Jazz + Nordstrand NJ5s's = Heavenly tone

    So I finally got my jazz back with the new pickups and preamp installed. I know this will be a short post, but AMAZING. I'll post sound clips soon.

    Why Nordstrand is unbelievably awesome...

    I thought of that. But my point was not them as a pickup maker, that was only a part of what I was trying to convey. I was meaning this more for a company in general. Their basses are amazing, as are the pickups. My point is that they are an amazing company.

    Why Nordstrand is unbelievably awesome...

    So I had a pair of what I thought were Nj5's, and my luthier was installing them on my fmtv jazz. My luthier called me to tell me that the pickups were very noisy and I should consider getting different ones. Not wanting to get away from Nordstrands I decided to email them, just in case. I...

    What Makes Some P-Basses Sound Good?

    This is a great thread. Although this answer is a bit esoteric, I think that there are basses that fit the player. I know strings pups and setup, along with woods and finishes help, the ultimate tone comes from the player. I guess I wouldn't stress too much if you aren't finding "the" tone from...

    120 for a complete setup. He installed a shim and did a few other things. I don't know what that is comparitively, but in my opinion it was very much worth it.

    Rascal Flatts' bassist and why Nashville sucks

    **** that. Unfortunately that is in most cities, and not exclusive to nashvegas. It is what it is. IMHO, pay a couple of grand, have your own studio, record in peace.

    Best So. Cal. Bass repair

    I hope this is in the right section. Anyways, I bought my 75 Fender P and needed to have it worked on. I got a recommendation from a good friend to use Paul at Guitar Remedy in Tustin, Ca. I took it over, and had him replace the nut (as it had just broken) and just do a complete setup...

    Best Church Bass

    After reading these posts, I think I am going to have to go into a 5 string jazz, or a p bass. Of course that's what I play... so I am slightly biased.
