Seller will not sell to pretentious a$# holes, so I guess I'm out.

MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK!!

Re: Vantage Matsumoku VP795B P/P

I've never played a Vantage bass, but my first acoustic guitar was a LH Vantage I bought used, when I was 16, and it was great. I'd still have it today if my 23 year old self knew better.

Re: Squier P/J $140 at GC

Guitar actually arrived. It never received an origin scan from UPS, so it just magically appeared at the door yesterday without any tracking updates. I set it up with green Neon DR strings I had laying around for such an occasion. They really pop (visually) with the black metallic finish, and the ...

Re: Squier P/J $140 at GC

Well, I guess this wasn't meant to be. I got a tracking number last week, and the package was never scanned. No record of it ever even being picked up in the UPS system. GC had to open a case for a lost package. UPS says the case is resolved, yet the guitar is nowhere to be found. I'm sure I'll get ...

Re: Squier P/J $140 at GC

One thing to note if you want to upgrade the pickups: the bridge pickup is actually sized for a neck-sized jazz pickup. I had to have the opening routed to fit an aftermarket EMG P/J set.

(FWIW, I wasn't crazy about the EMGs and sold them to a board member, so that's a G&L MFD in there now with ...

Re: Squier P/J $140 at GC

And SOLD! I had to buy this since I'm still waiting on body and neck from Warmoth and I have shows coming up soon.

Your video is what really sold me. Your kids have better technique than I do.

Re: Cheap Squier VM

Not a bad deal when you consider that these are currently out of stock from FMIC, and that is basically dealer cost.

Re: Any 4 banger to spare? P bass, j bass, semi-hollow?

Thank you for all the help everyone. I finally decided to spec out a j bass from scratch using parts I have on hand, Warmoth, and CME. Ordered neck and body without finish because I'm going to use dark stain or oil. Shouldn't take too long, and hopefully I will have some pics to share in the not too ...

Any 4 banger to spare? P bass, j bass, semi-hollow?

I've got some gigs coming up, and an odd turn of events has left me bassless. Not quite an emergency yet, but for my own sanity, I need a 4 banger ASAP.

I'm looking to make an investment on a workhorse. Just needs to be in sound playing condition, working truss rod. Pref. passive electronics, but ...

Re: Please say hello

Feeling guilty about committing the faux paw of going to the for sale section first, without introducing myself.

My first guitars were right handed, which were given to me by a family friend through a guitarist who would later be in Godsmack. Weird aside, I know. I played them upside down, and ...

Re: Stingray 1996

Hah, thanks! First post, but I didn't want this to get snatched up before I had the chance. I check the forum regularly, and I've been looking for a stingray for a little while.
