    Double Bass Help Identify This Bass

    Ahoy! I just bought this fully carved bass for a great deal. Usually I am pretty good with surmising the origin of a bass, but this one has me stumped. Help!! Mainly it’s the inconsistencies in the wood on the ribs/back and the finish. There are knots in the maple, and it looks to have been...

    Why no Rickenbacker import line?

    Seems pretty odd, considering almost every other major manufacturer has some sort of budget minded import line/series. I see plenty of posts here about how people would love to own one, but never will due to cost. YouTube is filled with videos reviewing Chickenbackers and DIY Kits. There’s...

    Fender-sized precision pup covers

    Hello everyone! So I recently got a used Squier cv precision that came with an original Fender gold anodised pickguard and some EMG p pickups. I wanted to replace the pups with a SD SPB-1, but have discovered that it won't fit into the pickguard! Upon inspection, the EMG's seem to be just a tad...

    Mini-HBs or Firebird Pickups in A Chinese Hofner Bass?

    The title is the question. I have read that you can swap out the mediocre Sino-Staple pickups that come in the cheap Hofners with mini-humbucker guitar pickups. The dimensions seem to be compatible and I know of people putting in Duncan Mini-HBs. Rumors are Firebird pickups will work as well...

In the US, by comparison, some figures show $3,714 per month A...

    Pawn shop decisions: Old Stinger vs Chinese Squier

    I took off from the day-gig a little early today to do a little gallivanting. I stopped by a pawn shop that used to have a decent selection of stuff, but the choices were slim today. They did have two p-basses: A newer Chinese Squier, with a jazz-style neck (and the tiniest frets I have ever...

    Dingwall Combustion?

    OK... I'm about to pull the trigger on a Dingwall Combustion, my first foray into the world of the mighty 5-string. Pros and cons? Should it matter that it's made in China? Personally, it doesn't bother me. Would love to hear from owners out there. Thanks in anticipation!

And all of the bodies were made out of basswood, both characteristics of "kit guitars" from china from my...
