    Help Diagnosing Heel Truss Rod Issue

    Hey all, hoping for some help as I am a bit lost on how to feel about a potential bass I'm looking at. Noticed the truss rod (heel adjust) was sticking out a bit in pictures, and the seller was kind enough to pop the neck off. It seems the truss was almost fully loosened. When you tighten it...

    Fender musicmaster bass string spacing for Curtis Novak pickups?

    I'd like to change pickup on my musicmaster bass to Curtis Novak BS-DS. I checked their website and it has 3 options 15.6mm – Vintage Hagstrom Bisonic, Starfire, and Gibson 17.4mm – Fender Pbass, and JazzBass neck 19.0mm – JazzBass bridge So, which one is right one for musicmaster bass?

    Component ID Musicmaster

    I recently came into possession of this MusicMaster Bass and don't know anything about it. Fender Said based upon the serial numbers it was around a 1977 or 78. However being it was in the CBS years they didn't have any other info. I don't believe the hardware or electronics to be original...

    I had a Fender Lace Red in my early 70s music master. I replaced it with a Curtis Novak Musicmaster Bass Hum-cancelling pickup, which is humbucker similar to a Mustang.

    Another Is It Legit Fender? Too Good To Be True (Not Precision/Jazz Bass Content)

    I found this on local forum, it's too good to be true. I know the pickups not original, but how's the other thing? It's only 380 US$ when converted. If it's real thing, should I pull the trigger? Is it worthy? Usually it sold more than 1000 US$ here.

I’ve had a Monoprice stage right 15w tube amp for a while now and haven’t cared for the sound of the Celestion 70/80 that came in it. All the while I’ve thought “sure wish I had a small, light, tube bass...
