    WD Music Products Unlined Jazz Bass Neck , Ebony 'Board

    So, I decided to start a project around a Jazz with an ebony 'board. Bought a WD UF neck and then sourced a body, a Fender Road Worn. Fit in the pocket was perfect, although I had to shim the front end of the pocket. Spend a while setting it up and cutting the nut. Strung with flats. The string...

    Music Man Stingray 4 2EQ with contoured body?

    The title says it all: I'm new to Stingrays, and wonder if someone can help me finding the right cure for my GAS... I understand that 2 band EQ (which - from what I have read here and heard on YT - should be right for me) was originally only available in slab body Stingrays. I'm mostly a Fender...

    P bass slab vs contoured body - effect on tone?

    I'm interested is there much of a tone difference in P slab bodies (51P) vs the contoured body, assuming they are both made of the same wood? I appreciate that contoured will be lighter and more conformable. Just wondering whether the slab will have any advantages with tone?

    Board for your Buck; Slab content

    This P bass neck has a very thick rosewood board. Thickest Ive played. Its a Squier Affinity neck. What gives? This photo is from around the 9th fret.Other photo closer to the nut. Notice how small the frets look compared to the thick fingerboard. Its at least 50% thicker than most P basses.
