    NBD: Lakland Skyline Hollowbody-30

    I remember the shell pink and the guy that made it, but I can’t recall his user name. His meme was a pig which explains the pink. He disappeared from TB a few years ago. I had a few conversations with him…nice guy.

    Fender MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass Club

    I bought the black/maple from Sumeursault and I’m considering a P/J murder motif. Actually more than considering since I’ve bought black HB10s, string retainer, neck plate, and bridge. That leaves pickups, pick guard, control plate, and to be ridiculous, string threads (fortunately I really...

    Looking for replacement tuners for a 2022 MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass (short scale 30")

    I have owned a number of MIJ basses and I always replaced the “Gotohs” with Hipshot HB10s. To me, the Gotohs’ tuning ratio is difficult to dial in and the Hipshot’s is ideal for thicker strings. Needles to say my Jr Collecion bass has Hipshots on it. I see a few MIM Fenders are now shipping...

    This is like that as well. The V is just for the first couple of frets. Not sure if all Birdsong necks are that shape.

    I've got a CORTO as well. (The AI spell checker won't let me type that in lower case!) Anyway, these are incredible basses. Mine has 2 Armstrong soap bars. The neck profile is unlike any other I've tried. Almost a V. Is your similar?

    My first Banshee was Pelham blue, and it looked more green than blue. When the carbon color came out I sold the blue and bought the gray. Loved the color and the bass. Then I sold it because it's what I do. According to the wife "wasting money buying and selling basses you only look at."...

    The Official Medium Scale Bass Club

    In my experience, scale is just one factor in the playability mix of dimensions. Others are the bridge position relative to the body end, and the front strap lock position relative to the fretboard. In the first instance, a Fender Rascal bass is a 30” scale but the bridge to nut distance is...

    Thanks for the rundown. It certainly looks unique and the color looks like Pelham blue, so whoever did the paint picked the right color. I think the position of the mini-humbucker probably gives a deeper tone than the current SG. My LP jr has SG pickup positons and controls and sounds the...

    Mine is a stock set-neck Hi-Flyer which they don’t make anymore. They replaced it with the bolt-on Univox model. I think I’ve had it about 5 years.

    A replacement neck may require a move of the bridge to get the right scale length/intonation.

    I have too many basses, obviously I should therefore hang them all on the wall

    Thanks…the original is still in nice shape. The pickup covers yellowed and no longer match, though, so I may want something different. Let me know who has the template.

    I was lucky enough to run across a short-scale Decade which I've kept for years. I also had a one-off hollow-body with the same neck as is on my Decade. Foolishly sold it on. These are real Dark Stars. Very happy with the HB30 though.

    The Sonic Broncos are just too tempting. I saw a California blue one at GC for $169 and almost bought it. After seeing the blue ones fade into the sunset I decided to get one for $40 more from Musician’s Friend. Of course, it shipped from Guitar Center. It’s the last thing on the planet I...

    Fender MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass Club

    FYI (and my own shameless plug,) I have a set of chrome HB-10s that i will sell at a reasonable price. I bought them anticipating another MIJ bass that never materialized. Been sitting for 2 years, and I'm too lazy to list them in the classifieds. Also have a set of HB7s somewhere (MIM...

    Eastwood makes a decent replica, 30 1/2" scale. I have one of the original Eastwood Hi-Flyer models in white, but recently they changed the brand on the headstock to Univox. They only offer 3TSB finish now but it looks cool with the maple board. Mine is some sort of black wood. It's also a...

    Which Resolites? Hipshot HB-10s fit if you want a higher tuning ratio and a little less weight.
