    Diary of a 1951 Fender Bass

Once a body was trimmed to...

    Value of banged up German made Warwick

    Short version, I have my eye on a German made Warwick Standard STD for $900. It has some scratches and dings which I do t care about if it’s bringing the price down. Doing my own search I can only find German made Warwicks for around $2,000. So it seems great to me. I am not sure what the...

    I decided to post this out of boredom. I have to stay in History class for an hour. Hopefully, this will pass the time, lol. Feel free to share your memes. Warning: Gen-Z humor is ahead. Oh, there's also other memes.

    A sense of humor, even on Mother's Day.

    Double Bass Transition era of beefier tops steel string ??

People who have studied the top thicknesses of Kay basses mention...

    My thoughts on the sets of strings I've tried so far

    I'll try to make it short and clear, feel free to ask question, comment, like or hate! :) Ernie Ball Extra Slinky 40-60-70-95: weirdly enough, the E string is still bright, the other ones sound aged/dead/dull (as you prefer), and I can't explain why. Because usually, the E string gets dull...

    Mesa d800- some kind of magic sauce. Amp or cabs?

    Last night I played through the other band's bass rig with my band (we opened). It was a D800 with two subway cabs (the cabs were fetching shade of dark green- custom tolex apparently). The rig sounded ridiculously amazing. It was clear, articulate, plenty of lows, but it was always very easy...

    I bassed so hard, I literally slapped the coils out of my pickup.

    I had a gig with my band in Little Rock last night, and got a little crazy with the slapping. To clarify, my "slapping" technique is probably terrible; I just hold a power chord and whack all the strings with my hand. Anyway, this happened: It didn't happen until halfway through the last song...

    New range of Classic Vibe basses...? (2019)

I owned a Classic Vibe precision from the original run from around 2009-10 and it was a superb bass in all...
