I'm hoping you fine folks will be able to give me some guidance.
My daughter expressed interest in playing bass, so I want to get her a practice amp. Usage would be playing at home, stuff like Green Day, alone or with me on guitar.
I have an Acoustic B20 amp, purchased in 2008 and barely used...
That's been my experience at least in the 15 or so bands I've been in over the years, and guitar players in particular seem to be bad at simple troubleshooting.
I played a show a few weeks ago with a band that was a throw-together. Keyboard player had 2 new mixers which he had to use because...
For sale I have a super clean, like new fender player series p bass. The neck is very comfortable. I currently have one of the old MIM standard pickups installed as I prefer a more modern voicing than the original pup provided but I still have that and will include both with the sale. Will also...

What other instrument would you play?
for me it would be the drums.... when I was 10 my parents suggested I learn the cello - which I did for 6 years along with the clarinet, but when I was 13 I met a boy at my high school who played the drums and that was it...
I remember going home from...
Up for sale is a 4-String Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass with a lot of upgrades. No longer made, kind of a cool bass, using a set of two double jazz pickups. Check out the pics, but the short list is:
1. The preamp and control plate are switched out for an 18V Audere Z3 preamp. The previous...

Just got one today with the maple neck. So I'm not super impressed. The jazz pup was not that great. For what fender charges I'm thinking of sending it back and getting a MIM Player for less money that might just sound better than the the cheapest american fender p bass. I'm not saying it's a...
I've been all over the place with basses - need to finally settle on a P.
There are a couple options that I am looking at - black precision bass - do I get mint/new MIM Player for ~$600, used Lakland Skyline for ~$800, or Mint MIA Pro for $1250? All would be set up before being shipping to me...
Just found this forum.. I’m NOT a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass. Maybe? On Friday afternoons, I put on my Ramones (1st album) record which is great because it’s “stereo” so on one channel it’s all guitar, drums and vocals, and on the other channel it’s all bass, drums and vocals.
So I...
Decided to return a Player series Precision. It was still in the return period, and I just wanted something a little different.
Loved the Tidepool color on the Precision I had, so I opted for that same color again..this time on a Player Jaguar.
So far, looks like a great decision! I love...
I have a 10+ year collection of Bass Player magazines.
I don’t have the heart to recycle them, so I’m offering them up for the cost of Priority Mail shipping.
If you want multiple issues, I’ll fit as many as I can into the the Priority Mail envelope.
Let me know what issues you’re looking...

Below, on the left, is how I always envisioned my ideal bass player to look. (pictured here with his main squeeze girlfriend, in the violet getup. His bass would be a homemade hippie sandwich that weighs as much as a Chevy Big Block engine and he'd play through an Ampeg rig the size of a hunting...
I have a bunch of Bass Player back issues... Mostly older (whatever) but all in fine shape. Many have subscription label on them but all are in fine condition (unless otherwise noted)!
Internet's cool but, I've easily learned more from years of Bass Player mags than, dare I say it, the...

I own a beautiful Fender Professional Jazz bass. No issues with it. I'm just not a Jazz bass guy, although I do like the thought of having one around. Thinking the Player series might work for me.
I'm not worried about the hardware and pickup differences. I would be curious to hear if...

Was listening to this song recently and it struck me that this song has a really good bass part, very melodic, was wondering who played the bass part on this song? thanks
Hello,
I have a Fender Player Series Jazz Bass. I don't know if you can see clearly from the pictures (i did my best) neck is slightly up-bowed on first 2-3 frets. Well this is not a big problem because this amount of bow is considered normal. Truss rod is at it's limit (right-tight limit)
I...
Selling a great player that served me well over the years. It's around 10 years old in mint condition. The only sign of wear is the mid min toggle switch has some of the black finish worn off.
It's been gigged with lightly over the years and has lived in a case mainly the last 5 years. This is...

At last I've come to the point financially where it doesn't seem like overkill to buy a second P bass. Got a barely used Tidepool Player P for a good price (pictured right). Feels just like my 2015 MIM Standard (pictured left). The pickups are a little hotter. Why two P basses? I'm going to keep...
Hi Folks -
Need help in making a choice. I found a store who still has one of the old Fender Standard MIM Precision Basses (Sunburst w/Rosewood) and I'm trying to decide whether I'd get that over the new Player Precision (Sunburst w/Pau Ferro). Both sound great, but unfortunately the two basses...
I picked up a Player Series P bass a few weeks ago. I love the way it plays and it is super lightweight which I also dig. Only thing was the tone was a little too vintage voiced for my taste. So I was looking for a new pickup and I remembered the MIM standard pickups to be hotter with more...
I keep seeing posts here and in other forums criticising MIM Fenders about different aspects.
I trusted this community on lots of things and I would like to get your opinion.
There are lots of people saying that if you can find a good Squier, it's pretty close to a MIM Fender, Sire basses are...
So I've had a number of P basses, recently acquired a Cabronita which I really like but was itching for a traditional single pup model. I was in Sam Ash yesterday just looking around and noticed an excellently priced Bergantino 112 that I ended up buying.
I was also considering a new p bass and...
Suggestions welcome. I'm researched out. Sound and versatility at top of my list.
Wouldn't hurt either if it weighed less than an oak tree.
Really looking for unlined, but lined is OK, and side dots would work.
Been listening to some Grand Funk Railroad all morning. Mel what a great freakin' bass player. Every time I listen to Mel I know why he made me want to play bass. There are a lot of other bass players I look up to. But Mel made me pick that bass guitar up and become a bass player.
Really nice 1974 Fender Precision Bass in walnut finish with a B width maple neck. Some honest wear, no abuse. Plays, sounds, and looks like a P-bass should. Pots and pickups are clearly 1974, does look like the jack was changed and a ground wire added. Photos tell the story, so please look at...
