    Safe purchase through craigslist?

    I've never really had a bad experience on Craigslist but I also wouldn't go that far out of my city limits without feeling pretty good about the seller through a few emails. Is the deal amazing or is it a rare item? Just seems like it's not a good idea. I drove an hour for my genzler bass array...

    Double Bass Engelhardt ES9 Switchmaster Pricing Question

    If you want an upright, skip the EUB. Just not the same experience. I second the notes above. You need at least one lesson to make sure you aren't doing bad habits. In lieu of that, careful viewing of some youtube starter videos will be ok. The primary thing with uprights for me is how do they...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    Hey everyone. I've always wanted a full range solution in a bass cab but I'm simultaneously very cheap. So, these were on my radar but I've been hesitant to get one.

    NBD… Can you guess who my childhood hero was/is?

    No longer available Fender Kingman SCE (V1) acoustic electric bass (los angeles)

    Need to make space on my rack...a few too many in's and not enough out's if ya catch my drift. I got this bass in a trade sometime in 2022 and it's mainly just a been couch noodler. No case unfortunately. This is a great sounding and playing bass that could use a bit of a set up from someone...

    Honestly my skill set is limited to visual examination for obvious damage. I can solder but unless something is clearly melted or exploded I don't really know what to look for. So I appreciate your suggestion and will look into that!
