Replaced the neck of my Squier with a Warmoth P bass neck. No regrets.

Roky Erickson and of course basically anything by the Misfits Edit: How could I forget Electric Wizard

Playing a 2016 MiM Jazz as I type this. It's a great bass. As had already been said, play it before you buy it.

Ok. So glossy you can see the popcorn ceiling reflected in it.

Now sporting a red tort pickguard

Got a Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie for Christmas. Loving it.

This. Really anything from this whole soundtrack, but this is the standout for me.

Norman's Rare Guitars in Los Angeles. Craziest music store that I have ever been to. Vintage and rare everywhere.

Guitar Czar in Salt Lake is a pretty great store. Good selection of basses and nice people.

Love it, love it, love it. Congratulations on the bass. That era burst with the maple board is one of my favorite combinations.

It's been a while since my last NBD. I've been lusting after a candy apple red Jazz Bass for a long time. It feels good to have a longing realized. MIM Jazz Bass by MRDOOM posted Jul 16, 2016 at 6:12 PM

Yeah, it's the same thing all the way through, but it's super fun to play.

Don't have to...

Love the two tone 57 burst. Congrats.

I'm curious to know the thought process that went into the formation of this band. Did someone say "you know what this pop group needs, blistering power metal." Or was it a bunch of metal musicians going "ok, so we have our instruments, we've mastered our riffs, now all that we need are cute...

A sweet bass in great condition, despite the mismatched parts. Congratulations!

Looks great! Bet it's a growl machine.

Looks sick. You did a great job.

Saw them a few years ago, great live band. Loved their music for a long time now.

Sounds sweet, congrats!

If you've got the money you could try this. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Stand By Me

Only having experience in LA, Norman's Rare Guitars in Tarzana is pretty cool. Not a huge selection of basses, but still worth a visit if you have any interest in vintage instruments. As has already been said, True Tone in Santa Monica is a must.

That's the best looking pedalboard I've ever seen. What's the Ron Swanson pedal?

Even though it has nothing to do with the pedal, it should be noted that Nick is tuned down pretty low for that song (C standard I believe). As for getting as close as you can to that tone with the vt, assuming you're starting out on the factory recommended "svt" tone, try bringing the mids and...

I use mine as a preamp into my recording interface. Sounds awesome.

Love those limited edition birds.

Blood Red Shoes is a good example of a decent band without a bassist. A bass player isn't necessarily a prerequisite for awesome, but (speaking with a bass player's bias) it definitely helps.

If it were me, Alder body finished in metallic purple maple neck and fingerboard w/ black blocks badass II bridge Hanson pickups Hipshot tuners with a D tuner

One thing to remember when getting nostalgic for music of the past is that a lot of the music from the "good" eras that we listen to today is but a small handful of what was actually produced and played at the time. We generally pick and choose a relatively small number of artists and bands to...

I have had both the original and the MKII version of the Acoustic 410. It would probably be best to avoid. Both cabs were strangely muffled sounding. They sounded like they had a cold. It was especially pronounced when you ran a fuzz or an overdrive through them. Save your money.

Looks great. A really unique combination.

I've been on that big spinning thing, it's lots of fun.

Lovely. I actually prefer that era's burst finish to any other.

A good example of a vintage tone machine. mmm hmm

Shavo had custom Gibson Thunderbirds made shortly before they reformed a few years ago. Notice the kill switch in the tone position. They also have open back tuners instead of the standard ones

Algebraic! Seriously cool, even if it doesn't work yet.
