I'm looking at buying a bass in the PNW, and I stumbled across this one: Facebook The owner doesn't seem to know much about it outside of that it was purchased in the 70s and there is no sticker on the f holes. Any help with any sort of ID or idea of the construction/quality would be much...

Hello all, I am looking into moving my double bass from the UK to Canada, and hoping I can get some advice on if this is even worth doing. I have a Westbury bass (I believe that is just a relabeled Eastman). Is this worth the hassle of getting across to me? What would that process look like...

Well done! You've reached bassist heaven! I've finally reached that way with amps with my Markbass LMT (albeit I don't use the tube a lot) and an Epifani UL2 112. What an incredible tone. I'm heading in the right direction with my Lakland Skyline JO5 (this may be it, but I don't want to jinx...

It's a POG and he uses flatwounds too. I saw these on Friday. All of them are such nice guys. Binky is an awesome tune of their's!

In this case the ramp is built partly between and OVER the bridge pickup (if he has one that is as this is a classic p bass design like Sting's). It may not be flat after I've looked at it again, but it's not as curved as most. Good luck and peace

It's definitely a ramp, albeit a very homemade one... Ramps are a block of wood normally placed between the two pickups to continue the effect of playing over a pickup. Normally they are matched to the radius of the fingerboard to give a better feel than a flat pickup. This one is flat on his...

LO-RIDERS!!!

The EQ is flat though... Get it? Bass jokes are the best :)

The yellow cones don't bother me, but I've got a classic 2x10 so I don't have them anyway...

He's now replaced Jimmy Haslip (for a year) in his Jazz Fusion group The Yellowjackets. The article's here: Felix Pastorius Joining the Yellowjackets

My Marshall more than held its own in a hard rock band in practices and gigs... Not trying to sell it at all... ;)

I have a combo for sale... A Marshall MB4210 that runs at 450W

Thanks! I've got my first gig on it coming up soon, and I'm looking forward to being able to go in with a great tone on flat EQ!

Please may I join? I've got a LMT 500 and a classic 2x10 cab with adjustable tweeter. I play this with flat EQ and have got the best tone I've ever dreamed of. Super loud too! Hopefully the amp will stay with me for good!

I personally prefer ported cabs. I have a double front ported Markbass 2x10 cab. Sounds incredible!
