I can only suggest watching the various Music Go Round web sites and Craig's List "band broke up, selling PA" notices, which always make me laugh and smile. Music Go Round is pretty good at listing what the various stores have. It's good advertising for them and saves you a lot of road time.

I have an older pair of JBL Cabaret PA speakers... Wayyy too heavy for a standard speaker stand. Is anyone aware of a stand for these older heavy speakers - I need it to be transportable by a car (small SUV)? (knock-down?)

BTW - My Ben Lindsey (Mustang inspired) 'Stang Bass is progressing nicely! It should show up here shortly.

I can't wait to show it off this summer at the next GTG!

No 'skinny-ass' neck on this one!

Dry fit... no finish etc... Now has Tung Oil finish... I'm in a 'photo blackout' until it shows.

That looks very, very nice. Can't wait to see it in person. Speaking of short scales, has anyone tried one of these? Made in Northfield, MN

Coquette Bass - Nelson Instruments

I haven't tried one of their basses but a GP that was in my band last year had a Socialite.
It is a very nice guitar with build quality that far exceeds the price. He asked the lead gp and I what we thought he paid for it. We both figured around 2K+. Sounded great through his Twin Reverb.

Hey Tim, is this one of yours? It looks very cool either way. I haven't been over there to try it. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds. I think I just assumed it used to belong to you since it's a Peavey.

A few months back, I was looking for a keyboard stand and stopped in to MGR Woodbury to buy one of those $15 jobbies. Eric, the manager gave me TWO for $15 (I didn't even really try to bargain with him - he just kind of offered). So if you're in a wheelin and dealin mood, give it a whirl.

They're great for that price (either one or two for $15).

I don't know about Woodbury, but Roseville and Burnsville now seem to be full-on Peavey dealers. They pretty much have a full line of new Peavey products. For the Peavey fans out there...

Heads up on a local deal:

Ampeg B2R amp with SVT410HLF bass cabinet

kraigo · #**474** 04-12-2012, 01:49 PM

That's a pretty decent deal. Really well regarded cab and I have always appreciated that head.

Jeff,

Not mine - I've played it.... It's ok

Yes that is a factory color option (not so the ramp)

Aw, this is sad. Someone go get this thing and put it out of its misery.

Precision style bass w/ broken headstock

Hello Minneapolis --
hdracer turned me on to this thread. I am going to be spending some time in Minneapolis in the next month or so, for work, and was wondering what might be worth doing/seeing while there. Not sure of the exact time I will be out there, but we just merged with another company, and I need to head out for a couple weeks sometime soon.

I'm pretty laid back. Definitely prefer dingy dive bars to large sporting events.

Been to Chicago once, a very long time ago, and that is the extent of my midwest experience, so looking forward to checking out your city.

Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts.

carl h. · #**478** 04-18-2012, 02:44 PM

Pack a heavy coat, sunscreen and insect repellent.

Get us a date and maybe we could throw together a get together. We're about due for something again.

Curmei · #**479** 04-18-2012, 03:00 PM

Hi Carl! Thanks for the advice - I remember why I moved south now

Things are still playing out at work, but hoping to have some dates next week, and will post here when I do.

superbassman2000 · #**480** 04-26-2012, 10:57 AM

is anyone here the one selling the ampeg beer fridge on craigslist? That thing is sweet! I emailed the seller hoping it's still around!
