lone voice in the wilderness recommending a harley benton, enhanced line for better quality at $100 more. ibanez used to ahve the quality but even the fanboyz are giving up on it these days. I would buy anything made in indonesia first if new was on your list. Youtuber knowyourgear has...

As you work the wah it would go from low to high aaaaaAAAAAAA No app

I just like the feel of these strings, even the thicker/stiffer ones. I can't bend them at all or it hurts my fingers so I slide instead. I am looking for a way to keep the zing as long as possible. Among ideas are wd-40, isopropyl alcohol, thorough hand washing before playing, I suppose...

One is a natural. I spent about a year and a half looking at t40s for a light one and got one that weighs in at 10#. Lucky me! Got it home, play it as my main bass at home, I like it. I've always wanted one with a rosewood neck because I think I can see my fingers and frets better against...

I have a PERFECTLY GOOD p bass olympic white rosewood fingerboard neckdive 20 fret bass, it's my first instrument ever so I'm kind of emotionally attached to it, it's a good player but the neck dive is prominent. I can afford better instruments now. it's hard to let it go The other way is to...

One speaker works and the cab is intact. The trace board is broken. What can I turn this into? What if I mount a pair of celestion bx 10s, what other hardware do I need to make it amazing It would be in a stack with a hybrid head and a bottom end gk 210 budget isn't much of a concern but...

Looks like a P body instead of a J body, black ish neck so rosewood or ebony or something I do see he's playing through a stack of GK 410s, which I was thinking about, maybe this is my signal to go ahead? He certainly serves the song well

I tried to make it unobtrusive. Was thinking about some kind of tablecloth under the table top but that's even more suspicious so going with it as is

My office situation is such that I wind up there kind of late, many times finishing at 8PM long after everybody else is gone. I'm down a short corridor in a part of the building that's completely empty above at 6PM so nobody to bother really. The amp is 24x24 and 16" deep so flipping it on its...

Sorry about that homey here you go family resemblance is evident $75 for some 15 inch goodness

As a connoisseur of finer combo amps, I can definitively say that I prefer the sound, durability, vibe, and value ratio of Crate combos. I've had the Crate Bx15 for 35 years. It honestly sat collecting dust for 34 of those years and finally I decided to learn to play so out she comes, but the...

New to playing, bass is my first. Have a T-40, playing around with the controls. If I put the pickup volume either/both bridge and neck, the pickups will function as humbuckers. Both independently, right? I finally got a practice amp that plays some bass sounds so I am going to be...

It took me FOREVER to figure out I had numbness in my fingers. I didn't realize there was anything wrong until I was trying to start IVs and people were talking about feeling the thrill. I was like it's not THAT big a deal what are you all talking about. They said it was the feel of the blood...
