    Twisted Fender necks?

    So my bass (a Fender American Pro) has had issues with buzzing on the G string only from frets 3 to 6. I first believed this to be a relief issue and, although adding more relief alleviated the issue to some degree, it didn’t eliminate it. I’ve been to a tech twice who has levelled the frets and...

    Does a Warwick bass with a neck twist have value?

    Last year I purchased a four-string Warwick Streamer Standard, manufactured in Germany in 2000, via Reverb.com, only to find out later that the neck has a twist near the head stock. The E-string side lifts away from the player. I paid $600. Warwick told me that a replacement neck would cost just...

    Oddball "custom(?)" Fernandes, or a nineties Asian with a twist... Advice needed!

    Hi! I am thinking about wandering into the world of five strings, and the following has appeared on a sales page here in Norway. It is supposedly one of two basses special ordered by a now deceased Norwegian bass player who was quite well known in his day. He kept the other one, and this was...

    I just discovered a twist in my Fender Aerodyne neck

    Hello, all. After a little over two years of owning it, I recently looked down the neck of my Aerodyne and it seems to want to twist to the left. It carries 40-95 strings on it all the time. I plan of contacting fender to see if there's any warranty for it. I removed the neck and inspected the...

    Would you call it "guitar," "bass," "bass VI," or carrots?

    One of my bands is finishing a record. On a few songs, I played some melodies that got well into the guitar range on my EBMM Silhouette, a bass VI instrument. The guitarist is writing the liner notes and has credited me with "bass, guitar." Do I leave it? Do I change it? It's not exactly...

    new twist on the "Fire the drummer" TB theme

    I got a drummer fired at my first rehearsal! Joined a band a year ago (no longer with them - different story). During the FIRST REHEARSAL - and mind you, this was a sort of a tribute band - I simply noted the rhythm guitarist on two separate occasions, was not playing the correct chords of two...

    800RB Effects Loop Problem With a Twist

    This is my first post here, hello to all. After a 15 year hiatus, around two months ago I shook the dust (and humidity) off my bass rig. I had to replace the active circuit board on one of my basses and the dust caps have fallen off the speakers of my 410 Hartke cabinet. All in all however...

    An old question with a new twist

    Team, The question of "what songs should I play in my cover band" is a well-beaten dead horse. In one of the threads, however, someone correctly observed that the question itself is incomplete: geographically, demographically, temporally, etc. etc. As an American playing Poland, I agree...

    Basically, I have two pickups (P and MM) currently wired to 2 separate 1/4" outs from where I run 2 amps. When I can't biamp I use a passive summing mini mixer to combine the 2 signals into the one amp. In addition to running stereo, I'd like to add the ability to run both pickups from a single...

    acceptable neck twist?

    I've been sweating about possible twist of a cheap SX neck I got for a parts build, and I didn't know how to check aside from eyeballing, but today I realized I have some 3/4" aluminum angle stock, and it's twistless as far as I can tell, so I laid it on all my basses and the SX neck.

    Finally got my Zoom B3's overdrives/distortions to sound glorious with the twist of a knob!

    So a while back I mentioned in a post how grating and shrill I found the ODs/Distortions on my Zoom B3--regardless of how much I experimented with the gain, blend, and level knobs. After I was advised to adjust the EQ on the patch I selected for gain, I cut the treble way, way back (into the...

    How do you tighten the twist on a volume / tone knob?

    Can a headstock have a twist without affecting the neck?
