    Is FretFX Dead?

    I've thought for a while now about adding a set of FretFX LEDs to my main player. Finally decided late last year to pull the trigger to find this: I reached out by email, twice, with no response. The notice on their website has been up for more than three months. Did COVID kill the company...

    Source for oval inlays for Ibanez neck?

    LTD B206SM Inlay difference

    I have a LTD B206 SM (6 string bass guitar with spalted maple top) and at the 12th fret it has a block inlay with "B206SM" on it. I've seen other examples of the same bass that do not have the inlay, but instead a standard double dot inlay. Does anyone know if there is any difference besides the...

    Matching multi-scale guitar and bass

    I'm starting up a couple of new builds for a friend. It's going to be an 8 string guitar and a 5 string bass. Both are multi-scale and they will match each other visually. Multi-scale is new for me, so I asked Shawn May (May Custom Basses) if he could cut the fret slots for me. I took a trip to...

    Geddy Lee neck question

    Hi, I have a MIM Geddy Lee bass, and I wanted to replace the black inlays for something else.

I have the neck for...

    Block inlay Jazz bass

    Saw a dealer advertising a 1969 Jazz with maple/black block inlay neck. I have always thought that neck was only available in 71,72,and 73. Anyone have a reliable source to confirm when they were actually made?

    Carbide (micro) endmills for inlay work. Cheap vs expensive.

    So I completely understand the get what you pay for concept. And anybody shopping for small carbide end mills has seen the 10 for $5 sets on eBay from Hong Kong Etc... Vs the 1 for $20 bits for sale domestically. I'm specifically referring to the small sizes for fine detail and sharp corner...

    Inlay Opinion Question. 12th fret only v. 5th and 12th fret

    Easy question. I'm just taking a non scientific survey from you guys to get opinions on what looks visually more appealing. I'm at a toss up. I own a Manne 5 string with no inlays. I love the bass. But my eyesight is not so good to see the small side dots without using cheap cheater bifocals...

    Poll: What inlay designs do you like?

    Plenty of options out there! Let's see what you, TB, like under your fingers. If I leave any popular options out, please speak up! Me, I love the subtle MOP inlays. Yum... As seen on @XXL 's '95 G&L L-2000. MOP on Rosewood.

    I have an old no-name bass from years ago with some lifting fret dot inlay "covers".

    The dot inlays themselves are 100% fine and still completely tight -- it's the plastic (it looks like) clear covers that are on them that are lifting up on a few. What would you say is the best way to fix this? I'm pretty good with this kind of thing and would like to do it myself if possible.
