    Lindy Fralin discusses his bass pickups...

    I have had Fralin's in a re-issue Jazz and I have a Fralin P in my Precision. Great pickups, IMO - very impressed with them! Looking into doing a project Fretless, with a Jazz Body. Possibly will go with the Fralin's? BUT, I found Ben's Pickups on eBay, and he sells a 60's Vintage set for $85...

    Does anyone else bring backups

    Strings, speaker cables, power strip, 'guitar' cord. Rarely an amp head-out of town gigs if I remember. I think if worse comes to worse, I can go direct into the PA...

    What older cabs/amps do you keep an eye out for when browsing sites/stores?

    Maybe a tuck n roll Kustom Combo, or head and cab? I rehearsed for a sub/gig at a drummers house, he had a black combo. Sounded great-a bit heavy to carry around , though....

    SOLD SOLD - Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass - Faded Pelham Blue w Roadrunner Highway Bag

    Hello again. Can you tell me the model # of that Roadrunner Gig Bag? My hardshell case for my Epi JC is starting to get 'rickety', plus it's a bit unwieldly as well. Thanks!

    No longer available Jack Casady with HSC Hipshot UL & D-Tuner

    Looks Great! I picked one up , also in Black, between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've always been a "Fender Man", but I'm really happy with the JC Epiphone.

    Has anyone ever just give you an instrument

    My Cousin gave me a 2-12'' w/reverb Silvertone tube combo amp in the early 70's. I was playing guitar (SG) then in a Garage Band. I sold it to an accordion player, after I switched over to Fender Bass , (Wish I had kept it!) Also a Sax player I know gave me a Cornet (I used to play Trumpet in...

    Sweetwater Jack Casady new for $599

    Allan, A Leather Strap-often the cheaper ones, work well. They are unfinished/rough on the 'inside'. Years ago I 'roughed up' a vinyl strap for my Precision. It helped....(still have Rockin' the Fillmore on Vinyl, btw)

    Sweetwater Jack Casady new for $599

    I've always played Fenders, but I picked up a used Casady thru Reverb for $500 w/case. Love it, $599 for a new one is a great price. (I use a leather strap, with a rough inside for any neck dive tendency. And wear it a bit lower and more off my hip. Jack C wears his very low, but I can't play it...

    NBD - Epiphone Jack Casady

    I just bought a 2012 Epi JC (Black) over the weekend. I've always played Fenders, love the sound of this Bass! Looking over forums, I think I'm going with repositioning the strap button to the upper horn. Might also go with the Hipshot (lightweight) tuners? Did you have to drill out the...
