    Help ID-ing a JV Squier Jazz

    Hope this is an ok query to post here, but even after searching/reading all the JV threads on TB, i'm still not sure. This bass popped up on one of the local fleamarket sites, and I can't quite figure out if it's a legit Squier/Fender, whether the body has been refinished, etc. The pics aren't...

    Yep, this is the bass Duff McKagan made famous. He certainly had good taste in picking his go-to battle axe. This one is in Pewter, rather than his white version. Cosmetically, it's not a case queen. Many spots around the edges where the color coat has worn through. Odd though, whereas in...

    Review: Bootstrap Palo Alto '51 P

    I haven't seen anyone mention Bootstrap pickups here, so I thought I'd talk about the new Palo Alto single coil P-bass pickup I recently installed in my Japan made Blue Flower P-bass. Bootstrap has been making the rounds in other forums for its great tone and low prices. The Palo Alto was...

    First time buying a P-Bass, could use some pointers

    Hello all! I'm checking out a MIJ Fender P-Bass made in 1994 tomorrow. It's only been played for 3 years as it was purchased as a new old stock instrument.
