Found a used one at what seems reasonable to me. Curious what their sound and quality is like.

Ok. Thanks both of you for the response. To elaborate a little, the .32 gauge Cobalts lasted the longest. And one broke after about three months of fairly steady play. I was bending up fairly aggressively when it broke. Then went to restring w/another identical string and as I was tuning, it...

I have a Squier Deluxe Jazz V that I got a while ago, my first fiver, that I string E to C. My problem is that I keep breaking the C's. Doesn't seem to matter what gauge string I use. I've used everything from .50's down to .32's. I haven't changed the nut yet to accommodate the different tuning...

Looking at buying either a used Ampeg SVT 400T or a Peavey Tour 450 head. Right now, have a 4x10 cab. Looking to add a 2x12 in the future. Just wondering what fellow TB'ers experiences are with these heads. Thanks!

Since my first order with bassstringsonline.com, I've bought a single string elsewhere because I needed it that day. Otherwise, I've been an exclusive customer. Great prices, they sell singles, fast shipping etc. I'll be using them exclusively for the foreseeable future.

I play in (amongst several nascent projects right now) a two piece drum and bass. I got a 5 string which I string E-C just for this. I love the Octave because it lets me play higher, more melodically while still maintaining a decent low end. Other than this though, I would say distortion. Not...

John Alec Enteistle, RIP. Specifically the bass line for "I Can See For Miles". I had bought a bass in high school because my friends had bought drums and guitars, but hadn't really taken to it until I picked up a guitar mag for the tabs, I think it was Green Day's "Longview" I had bought the...

How much for the Aguliar?
