[musictlk] Bass guitar in need of repair.

[Andrew English (paper music)]

Robert, if you're mechanically inclined, you can order a kit and replace all 
the guts inside your bass for less than you payed for it, and it's not too 
hard either. Do you know how to solder? Try contacting some bass/guitar 
message boards and see what they think. Or, you can just call my favorite 
music store, Grandma's. They're very helpful and they know their business 
well. www.grandmas.com

Another note,
There is a particular brand of instrument cable that has the business end 
angled 90 degrees, and it's braided the entire length of the cord to help 
keep it from tangling under your feet while you play. This cable is also 
guaranteed for life, so if it ever develops a short or goes bad, they will 
replace it for free. It's totally worth the initial investment to not have 
to ever pay for a new cable again. Plus, it's the easiest cord I've ever 
rolled! It's like having a Craftsman tool for your bass!
