    New Gibson Basses - Where Are They?

    Hi all, long-time player, first-time poster! I am interested in getting a short scale bass, and have always wanted a Gibson. But I can't find any to play at a retail store. I'll sometimes see an Epiphone, but that's not common, and not what I ultimately want. Have Gibson basses always been...

    What gauge string should I get for higher tunings?

    I've recently joined a band and they tune up to F standard so I just wanted to make sure I get the right strings so that I don't add excess tension to the neck. I just bought a fender vintera 60s mustang bass and I want to put flatwounds on it. Any help or advice is appreciated :) Cheers!

    NBD Fender JMJ Mustang what's wrong?

    Hi, I got my Fender JMJ Mustang bass and it sounds great. The 10th fret is buzzing and seems to be thicker and taller then the other frets. Does your JMJ mustang have a different 10th fret too? I am kind of disappointed at the moment. Its not the cosmetics but the buzzing :-(

    Do I need a new nut?

    Hello friends, I bought this old kalamazoo bass a few months ago and still have slight intonation issues (already set up bridge height etc.) mainly on the E and G string. When played on the 12th fret they are still a bit sharp, altough A and D strings are fine. The bridge on this bass doesn’t...
