    Lacquer flake, how worried should I be?

    So I've had basses worn down to the bare wood before, but never near a tuner hole. I was putting on a new string and it decided to spit some lacquer at me. I do see something black looking covering the wood so I assume it has something still protecting it,but I dunno 😅 Should I be worried...

    NBD!! With some unexpected findings

    I've been having GAS for a lakland DJ4 for a good year now. Really wanted one in white , but pulled the trigger on a natural one. Pretty disappointed to see the block "inlays" are just painted blocks but hey, not the end of the world. It has killer tone but upon inspection I found...

    NBD...BUT...with courier customization

    After weeks of waiting, for the build, then for the delivery, I finally received my Retrovibe R32 Tuxedo (actually I didn't "received" it, I had to pick it up myself from the courier headquarters after -they say- two delivery attempts). The courier kindly added his customization to the...

    For sale Sire P5 Gen2 Red

    Sire P5 in a decent condition! Bought it mint from Thomann and didn’t really need it anymore.

Other than that...

    Would a Crack in Body Affect Playability?

    See title. There's a cheap beater for sale near me. The pictures aren't great and the seller mentioned a slight crack in the body. He said he would get me some better pictures. Would a crack in the body affect playability or anything else? The seller says the bass stays in tune, plays well, and...

    Acrylic DiSaStEr

    So, I’ve got a collection of basses growing right? Out of the blue one day my dad says before my grandpa died he left me a really old bass. I’m interested (even if it can’t play.) so I pick it off of him and find a monstrosity. When I was 5 I painted ALL OVER IT in CHEAP ACRYLIC PAINT. I hook it...

    Is this fretboard too damaged to refret?

    Bought this yamaha bx1 for 150.00 Some goon ripped the frets out of it. I dont know much about refretting and repair and some people on facebook said it could be too torn up to refret. My ignorant opinion is that it looked like a clean job when I got it, and I love this bass enough that its...
