These have been popping up at a couple of vendors now, with no indication of a release date whatsoever. I do love the idea though of a 30 inch Jag Bass that's a bit more upscale than the Squier one from a couple of years ago. And I dig the incredibly named Tiger's Blood Orange. What do you guys...

After weeks of waiting, for the build, then for the delivery, I finally received my Retrovibe R32 Tuxedo (actually I didn't "received" it, I had to pick it up myself from the courier headquarters after -they say- two delivery attempts).
The courier kindly added his customization to the...
Here’s a really fun one! I purchased this while on the search for a hollow-body to use for a studio project. I’m decidedly not a short scale guy, so it’s harder (but not impossible) to find hollow/semi-hollow stuff in a 34” scale. This bass is a rarer and hard to find limited run model, based on...

I'm wanting to do some slap stuff on the family 1/4 scale bass, but I still want it to be bowable for the kids. The best option I can find for a fractional bass is Corelli medium set (which isn't going to be as loud as I want). Anything else I should be looking at? Options I'm not aware of that...
Good Morning Bassist,

Hi,
I've got a few tools I want to sell altogether, most were bought from StewMac. Most of these are brand new, I was going to open a repair shop and had some health issues. Anyway:
Japanese Guitar nut files (.010, 0.13, 0.17, 0.26, 0.36, 0.46) (Uo-Chikyu brand)
Bass nut files (0.46, 0.65...

I currently have a Sterling by MusicMan Ray34HH in Stealth Black which looks and sounds amazing. However, almost since day 1, I've struggled with it being just a bit heavier than I'm comfortable with, especially for longer jams or shows. Recently, I've been pondering off-loading it in favour...
Hello fellow TB members, I’m searching for a EBMM starry night short scale. If you have one you might like to sell or know someone who possibly does please get in touch. Thank you.

Up for sale is a wonderful Stingray short scale. I bought it new a few months ago, but the scale length really messes with me when I go between my other long scale basses regularly. It has some very (almost innocuous) light signs of wear, but it is in excellent condition and fully functioning...

I realize you have to play the notes that fits the music you happen to play, but what is the scale that you enjoy the sound and mood/character of the most and loves to noodle, jam in, and eventual to use when composing music, the most?
Mine absolutely has to be the Dorian Scale, love that...
For sale here is a used Ormsby BassGTR 6 multiscale six-string bass guitar. This bass is from Ormsby's sole run of production basses in 2018, and is therefore somewhat rare now. It has been well used for practice, rehearsals, and gigs, but great care has been taken to keep it in immaculate...

I have a bass that I would like to convert from a 20 to 22 fret instrument. I already have an idea in my head as to what I need to do, but my question is, how do I figure out where to put the bridge? I know there are fret placement calculators but i havent seen/heard of a bridge placement...
Took a punt on this two days ago on eBay when a B-stock came up for £200... figured there wasn’t much to lose at that price point.
Here she is next to my Dingwall Super P5:
My initial impression is that it’s insane how they are selling these for £299. This one at £200 is probably as many as...

Hello guys, rookie bass player here!
I have been playing for a couple of months and have come to the conclusion that I play too hard with my right hand (plucking with fingers). This causes a 'clacking' sound of the strings as they smash on another fret. I tried adjusting action height and truss...
This is 100% the MOJO KING you’ve been looking for! The Musicmaster was one of the first 3/4 short scale models Fender offered, and the single, single coil pickup really holds its own.
All original 1978 Fender Musicmaster, in the black on black fitting. American made. Beautiful, if you like an...

Turns out switching between a short scale, long scale and upright in one session is proving a bit more difficult than I anticipated. This build was completed in November of this year, and has been gigged lightly but mostly used in a studio environment. There is barely a mark on this instrument...

Is fret spacing much different in 35" basses comparing to 34"? Is this easier to play 34" basses than 35"? I do have 35" bass. It is great in all aspects. I also have an avg hand size. It is a bit hard for my hand to play this bass. Will 34" inch bass make much of difference?
