    Weird issue: pitch varies, sounds like two notes played together

    Hello, I couldn't find a similar issue here in the forums, so here's my post. I have a fretless Ibanez BTB series bass, and over the last few months a problem developed: when I place a finger on the fretboard and play a note, on a single string, I hear two notes. It sounds as if the pitch of...

    Weird static pops while playing w/Mesa D800

    Ok I'm getting these weird, intermittent static pops while playing thru my Mesa D800 w/6x10 Mesa cabinet. I noticed it's only using a couple of my Fender Jazz basses. It doesn't seem to happen with a P or my G&L Jazz. Seems like it's only when fretting certain notes as well. I tried to...

    Another Unexpected NBD...

    Was browsing the local CL and saw an American Pro Jazz for $600. Figured it was a scam or there was something going on with it. Serial Number Checked out just fine, correct lightweight tuners, Fender high-mass bridge, control cavity is spot on, pickups are OEM/stock, and also came with the...

    Found a weird looking place on a LaBella string , mabye they would replace it ?

    Just put on a new set of 760FL light gauge DTF strings , love em , but , the D string .060 , has a place that I would describe as if someone shaved out a chunk of the string about 3/8 of a inch long and fairly deep , would Labella most likely replace it if I called them ? It might last for years...

    Weird question: Thunderbird case

    Hi, I have a bizarre question I was wondering if I could get help with: does anybody know or have the dimensions of an original Gibson T-Bird case? Talking about the ones they used from the 90's on - those big brown cases with the pink lining. I ask because I'm out of town right now and...

    Effect pedals that were just too "out there" but you still kind of want them?

    I have a kind of specific request. What are some effects pedals you've tried and just decided they were way too "out there" to justify the purchase, but not buying them still nags at you while you're trying to sleep years later? I've got a laundry list of weird sounds in my head from pedals I've...

    Double Bass Huh. That's weird. (Bad soloing content.)

    Mostly an electric player but got an upright about 7-8 years ago and have been whittling away at it and getting some gigs. Definitely have paid for the bass with upright gigs. I pretty much suck as soloing. I mean, with a blues I can usually handle two times through without embarrassing...

    Fender Studio Bass weird noise

    So I just got my Studio Bass back from the tech and I have to say I LOVE it. It occasionally has some crackling/bacon frying noises that I'm attributing to the fact it was probably drug on the bottom of the Mississippi for about 5 miles, a cleaning of the pots has seemed to remedy that problem...

    Weird custom bass identity?

    Anybody recognize the builder? Someone put a huge amount of work into it. The electronics are 18 volt EMG and the bridge and machines look Hipshot maybe? It's purported to be a shortscale and is neckthru.

    Weird tone/bonehead move

    Friday night gig at a Legion. I did load in & setup at 4:30, after my day job. 2 x 112 cab, Markbass head... simple. Rolled in 10 min before set time, tuned, checked power, confirmed output. Couple songs in my tone sounded kind of thin but I dismissed it to room shape, recent bass setup, ears...

    Help with weird P/J wiring

    Hi there! I have a PJ bass I want to mod and I was hoping someone could check if I have the wirings right. I want a push/pull volume, blend and vari-tone. The push pull is for the precission pickups to go out of phase, leaving the jazz pickup in phase. Does that make sense? I know a bass out of...
