Okay, I am late to the party. Not unusual.. I am 67. I would like to join as well. I have been playing music for a very long time and picked up a bass 3 years ago. Now, it’s all I play. Our band took a double whammy with three of our members having serious health problems and one just up and...

OKay Gang... thank you for all the responses. I am going to stick with the 112 for now. I built the thing using a Bill Fitzmaurice plan. It has a 6 tweeter array on the front that gets drowned out if I play loud. I'll probably build another 112 using the same plans. The 112 puts out a ton of...

I am new to the bass world. Only been playing a couple or 3 years. I played guitar for a very long time. Way back when, I was in a band and the bass player had a Peavey 410 bass cab and an Ampeg 610 cab. Both cabs brought rolling thunder to the stage. I now play in an old guys band and we play...

You may want to look at the Bill Fitzmaurice designs. He has multiple designs and all the sound plots for each. I have built 4 of his cabs.... a 210 and 212 for guitar and a 112 and 212 for bass. I am using the 112 in my studio and love the lows and how transparent it sounds. Only my Am P Bass...

What am I gassing for??? More Talent and an Ampeg 610 cab with one of the old style Ampeg amps on top. Plug my P Bass and make the walls rattle. simple pleasures are what make a life worth living.

I play with a bunch of old guys and one young woman. We play a lot of classic rock and old blues. My one trick pony into a very clean amp sits where I like it, in the drummers lap. I have been playing with the same drummer for over 14 years. We have a sound that guitar players and singers love...

I finally got an American P Bass... after playing it a lot over the last 2 weeks.. I must say it is the best bass I have ever played or owned...

I understand this is an old thread but thanks for all the answers... I have one (1) MIM P bass and it had truss rod issues.. Brought it to a good luthier and voila' a perfect bass. He polished the frets, set the height and intonation. I upgraded to classic 60 pups and if sounds really good. I...

I played guitar on and off when I was a kid then got away from music for over 20 years. Back in 2002 I started back on guitar. Rhythm guitar 90%. Bass came as a necessity a couple of years ago. Now people tell me I should have started on Bass.... More natural for me. I also play harmonica but...

Is that a push/pull control? Looks to have an additional humbucker. How does it sound? Oh, do you still have it for sale?

When it comes to cabs, have any of you tried to build your own. I built a Fitzmaurice Jack 12 and love the sound it gets. The build is a pain in the arse but worth it. You can buy a flat pack and just glue it together. We had a band that dissolved in 36 hours for no good reason. So I am back to...

When I was a kid. I was more interested in girls and drinking. Then I got married and we had 4 children. Playing music took a back seat to eating and clothing. That lasted over 20 years. About 2000 I began playing guitar again and loved it. Played in bands till the bar scene was to bad and low...

I am 66 and started playing bass a couple of years ago. Now playing in a little horn band (8 of us including 2 guitars, keys and drums). We play a variety of music covers and a few originals. It has been a great adventure after playing guitar for a long, long time. I try not to play bass like...

Good day, I currently have 2 basses... 1. A Warwick Corvett Classic and 2. a Fender MIM P bass. I would like to get a new USA made bass. If you were to buy just one bass to use 90% of the time, what would you suggest. My budget is $1500. Thanks,

I play bass and really have no reference to all the great bass players. We play covers and I try to come close to the bassist in each song. We play a lot of old stuff and Donald Duck Dunn is the guy I try to follow.. He sounded awesome on a lot of records... I play a P Bass thru a Bill...
