    Show me your 3TS w/ RW J Basses!

    Looking for aesthetic inspiration for this three tone sunburst jazz bass w/ rosewood fretboard that I picked up. I kinda like how it looks now w/ the aged white pickguard and black knobs & covers, but I’d like to see what others have done with theirs. I’m not interested in a classic tort...

    A 3d Printing Journey

    Got into 3d printing a few years ago and while scrolling the internet for ideas on what to print, I stumbled upon some really cool 3d printed guitars/basses and thought it'd be a cool project to do. But of course, as I had to stroke my hubris to go against the grain and do something different, I...

    Full size plastic credit card neck pocket shim, would it dampen the sound / string vibrations?

    So as the tittle says, I am curious to weather a full sized neck pocket shim, made from inserting a plastic credit card in the neck pocket, to some extend might dampen the vibrations from the strings, and thereby sound of a bass? I am asking cause that is what I currently have in my main bass...

    What's the bass with the most "fake"/synthetic tone you've played/heard?

    I'm curious about your opinions and experiences. I once had one of those fretless Cort Curbow with a tiny "luthite" body (synthetic, moulded after the "real" Curbow thing) and "ebonol" fretboard - again, not wood. One of those active licensed Bart soapbars as pickup wired to a fairly noisy...

    Best bass picks that won't melt through heavy playing

    I'm having issues with finding picks that don't melt/become jagged after use. I play very hard (probably too hard) to get a 60s pick-bass sound and find that this happens after nearly every gig. I know the obvious answer is to switch to fingerstyle, but I much prefer the tone I get with a pick...

    Double Bass Ampeg Baby Bass Bridge Damper/Rubber Bridge Crown Part #36396

    Hi folks, The Ampeg BB comes with a rubber piece that sits on top of the bridge, which is where the strings rest (it keeps the strings from coming in contact with the metal bridge). Given that my bass is over 50 years old, this plastic piece has started to crack/disintegrate. Does anyone know...

    Plastic plate on back of ‘77 P-bass?

    Can’t figure this one out - American ‘77 Fender P-bass I bought about 20 years ago in a pawn shop. It has a 4” x 6” rectangle plastic plate on the back of the body that has been cut/routed in. Painted underneath the plate. Nothing underneath it, only as deep into the body as the thin maybe...

    Bass with green plastic insert in headstock?

    I'm feeling nostalgic for the first bass I ever owned. I have no idea who made it but it was unique. It had a circular translucent green plastic insert in the headstock, maybe the size of a silver dollar or a little smaller? I seem to recall the headstock itself was square-ish with some details...

    Plastic surgery or wrinkles in time?

    What say you talkbass? Is it better to have plastic surgery or just accept what you have. Me? I guess I will just accept who I am. I use some sun screen and moisturizer, but that's it for me. Here is Robert Redford. It's obvious he dies his hair, don't know if he has had anything else done.

    Does plastic cover affect pickup's sound?
