    Jazz Bass Aluminum Pickguard Hole Adjustments

    Hi and Happy New Year, bass peeps! Recently, a friend offered me a cool aluminum pickguard for my Fender American Performer Jazz. It is faux diamond plate, but looks so much better than the plastic/laminate version. The only issue is that I think that this particular guard was made for a...

    Bridge holes vs. structural integrity

    This is a specific situation that I'm in, but I think it'd also do well as a general question: Where is the limit to how many bridge holes you can drill before the structural integrity of the wood gets compromised? My personal situation: bass arrived with broken bridge with a weird proprietary...

    Fender MIM mystery headstock hole

    I took in this Fender MIM Jazz bass some time ago. I'm not really a long-scale guy, but this one is a gem. It just plays so well compared to a lot of off-the-shelf MIMs and I love the nice woodgrain and super dark rosewood fretboard, combined with the black finish. It dates back to 2001, at...

    Hole filling

    I changed my pre and omitted the frequency selector switch because I now have a sweepable. Now i have a hole. What would be the best way to approach this? My line of thought is since it's a burl already I can get a piece of wood that has a small knot in an appropriate shade and shape it to fit...

    Fixing Slightly Off Pickguard Hole

    Sorry for the crappy picture. This is a 90s Danelectro and that's one of the screw holes for the pick guard. Because it's slightly off the bottom of the pickguard doesn't sit flush with the top. Any tips on a good enough fix?

    17mm tuner post in 18mm hole? Bushings available?

    I've got a MIM 5 string jazz that would use some lighter tuners. I've posted about this before but have done more research. My bass has 18mm post holes...which seems to be the limiting issue. I *could* go with Hipshot ultralights, but they would be shave 6 ounces and cost about $155 for a set...

    Hello all, I could really use your help. A good friend of mine came to me to see if I could help him fix his strap button. I usually do minor fixes, cleanings, and string changes for him.

    Double Bass ff hole notches not aligned?

    Are my ff hole notches not aligned or am I crazy? I tried taking it at a straight angle so it’s not an optical illusion. Maybe they’re supposed to be like that? How do I make sure my bridge is in the right spot?

    Ultra Thin Hole Saw for Cutting Covers?
