    Dubious failure by Fender Custom Shop!

    You will only find "RELIC" engraved on Custom Shop Team Built only. Master Built does not have "RELIC" engraved. Typically in the pickup cavity on a Master Built it will have the builders initials stamped.

    Your last statement is incorrect. Custom Shop Master Built product is not stamped or engraved Relic on the necks or bodies.

    What neck is this? Real, Re-issue, or Fake??

    Seeing as it has a flat laminated fingerboard and not a round laminated fingerboard it is not a 65. Fender started doing round laminated fretboards in mid to late 1962, and it became the standard by 1963. So the date stamp is fake. The neck could possibly be a Fender neck, but it is not a real...

    Anyone else use a wide array of always on pedals/effects for their basic "clean" tone?

    I have one pedal that is on all the time. The Night Owl Industries Edison Tube Preamp.

    Double Bass TC Bam200

    I picked one of these little guys up a couple weeks back. Played it for the first time with my band last night. (first rehearsal in 3 months) I have to say, I shouldn't have judged a book by it's cover. After owning an ELF for all of a day and returning it because it kept going into protection...

    P-Bass Pickup Recommendation for Rock with Flats and Pick

    I would try the DiMarzio Model P. It will give you a nice high gain tone, similar to the G&L MFD pickups. also, try a Hipshot all brass type B bridge. Those are great, super well made, and will add some sustain to your notes.

    Squire bullet

    The cracks look like finish cracks to me. They are coming off of pickguard screw holes, so probably moisture that got in the holes and cracked the finish.

    Best Fuzz/OD for Bass

    Check out the Mark Kendrick Design Furnace Bass. It's my new personal favorite for overdrive on a bass. Tons of saturation without the loss of low end or clarity. Invalid Link Removed

    Duff McKagan is an awful Bassist.

    I usually respond to something like that with "and your band has sold as many albums as Duff has?"

    Hartke HD500 2x10 combo

    so that would mean it's really 250 watts with a 500 watt peak

    Do I really need a volume knob?

    none of my basses have volume or tone controls. I have an on/off switch wired to the jack and a toggle to switch between pickups.

    Oddball Fenders continued, name this bass

    These were Custom Shop basses designed and built by former Master Builder Jason Davis. They never went into production. The pickups were Bill Lawrence pickups, and the hardware was from Hipshot.

    A silly question about mini/micro amps

    I loop my cable thru the cabinet handle and also velcro my amp head to the cabinet with industrial strength velcro.

    Is Guitar Center trying to rip me off on pickup change?

    your first mistake was taking your bass to Guitar Center for any sort of repair or mod work. I have yet to find an employee at a GC that knows anything about guitar repair.

    Fender Lame-o American design experience Fail

    YOU CAN ALWAYS GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT FROM FENDER BY ORDERING IT FROM THE CUSTOM SHOP. The American Design Experience was never intended to be more than regular production models with minor customizations.

    Is Squire a bad thing ?

    For the money Squier makes some pretty amazing instruments. I have played some Squiers that play much better than some USA made basses. I don't think you can go wrong it that price point with a Squier instrument.

    Possibly dodged a bullet! Need Fender P bass experts (1983 owners, we need you!)

    Then you were lucky and found 2 good ones. I had a 76 Jazz and that neck shifted all over the place. The pocket had pool table felt glued on to both sides of the pocket wall. This came from the factory this way. It was something did to fill slop in the neck pocket in those days. The reissue 3...

    PJ with a 3-way switch

    Most companies offer the volume, volume, tone or volume, blend, tone options because it offers more tonal variation than a toggle switch. A toggle switch also changes the load on the pickups. In my experience the pickups have a brighter sound running through a toggle switch than independent...

    The basic flaw in the p-bass

    The tone wide open is still affecting the tone of the bass with the capacitor. The best tone of a P I have had is a P pickup wired straight to the Jack.
