    Is This Acceptable?

    I'm working on a parts bass build using a Warmoth Fender P body and a Fender Jazz Bass Special neck. My concern is that there is a gap at the heel end of the neck where it fits into the neck pocket. Apparently, the curve at the heel of the neck is not quite the same as the curve (rounded...

    My latest carved parts bass build

    So it’s winter here in Chiberia, and while that usually translates to a slow down in gigs for me, I also had my hip replaced the day after New Years. Probably the closest I’ll ever get to saying “new year, new me” and actually meaning it :) To keep my mind occupied before the surgery and keep...

    Exploring option for a dirt cheap parts bass

    This showed up on my local marketplace feed. It is under $100. I'm looking to have a parts bass to tinker with and I have tuners, pickups and a spare control plate so I'm thinking of picking it up. I doubt the pickups and electronics in it work and I doubt the neck is wonderful - but for...

    Broken Nut!

    After finishing a Fender Parts bass, I was putting on some strings and working on set up when the Bass side of the nut just fell right off!

    Should I convert my Lull V4 to a fretless?

    I'm just looking for some thoughts here. I've had a Mike Lull V4 since 2013. Up until I got a Fender CS '60 Jazz Bass a year ago, it was my main bass. I still play the Lull relatively often, though my Fender is my go-to bass. Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy with either of them, and they make...
