I've always had a Squier bass. My first was a 90-ish HM-V in Midnight Wine. Played it forever until I traded it off for a MiM Pbass. I've also had a standard p/j, a Jazz Deluxe Active V, a Contemporary Jazz Active, and my current ride or die, a VM p/j in sunburst. All quality, all reliable. It's...

I've been playing punk/hardcore/metal since I started playing...and I've landed on Hartke. It's not so much what's good for your genre, but what's good for YOU. Seek your tone and make it work for what you're playing. I just bought a LH500 to replace my HA3500, and it's exactly what I needed...

A 15w Crate, and it was AMAZINGLY bad.

I've had incredibly bad luck with Jazz basses. The first was a Squier active 5 string, which was utterly toneless despite being active, and weighed far more than my shoulder was willing to put up with. Fast forward a few years, another Squier. Active 4 string, flat black, active. Hated it. Next...

So I got my Surveyor for a ridiculously low price. It's very well put together. Also, as previously stated, the original pups were swapped out for QP's. Maybe I'm just used to what Ive been playing (MIJ Aerodyne Jazz), but the LtD feels much heavier. I'm getting used to it. I haven't been able...

I just made a deal for one in excellent shape, and he already did me the favor of upgrading to QP's. SCORE!

I got my first Aerodyne about two weeks ago. Export, black, nekkid...you know the drill. I'm getting it set up tomorrow with Dunlop steel rounds. To this point, it's playable, barely. The pups were dialed right up to the strings,so it clipped something awful the first time I plugged it in. I...

For a whopping $666, I got a Hartke HA3500 head, and a VX410 cab. Very satisfied.

Haha...I bought one of your CDs there,and found an older one while on vacation later that year. Cheers!

I was at that show! What was your band?

I just got a Jackson JS3 in satin black...what's the best way to protect the matte-ness of this finish?

I'm glad I found this thread. Here's the deal: I have one, and I hate it. It weighs too much, and I no longer have a need for a 5 string. My problem is, it came with a broken battery box, and nobody I've talked to has any idea what to replace it with. Suggestions? Other than that, it's in good...

Hey guys. That sexy black Squier Jazz Active over there needs a new battery box. The packing tape method works, but takes away from the sexiness. Fender chooses not to sell ANY battery boxes, so I guess I need the next best thing. I've seen them at Guitarfetish for verrrry cheap, but I need...

I'm looking at this amp, and looking HARD. I've got a pretty limited budget, because nobody in their right mind wants to buy the head I'm currently using. (Acoustic B600) I've heard a few first hand testimonials in the last couple days, and I'll be pulling that trigger before the end of the...

I'd been wanting to get into SS strings on my Pbasses, so I did some shopping at the local GC. I managed to get an older guy who knew what he was talking about, and after about 20 minutes of shooting the bull, I walked out with Dunlop SS Super Brights. So far, the tone is amazing. Waiting for...
