    Want to buy first bass: your thoughts on these Craigslist deals?

    Every piece of equipment that I now own is off of craigslist. I believe you find perverts in the pervert section. In the musical instrument section I find...musical instruments. Long story short: I had my act together. I did too much dope. Then i had nothing. I got clean. I was broke. I found...

    Bugera speakers

    Damn, I love you folks! I saw what I thought was a good deal on a 2x10 cab with "legendary" Bugera speakers which apparently are so awesome that they have been kept secret from me for 48 years! I thought my SWR 15 160/200 combo would look good sitting on top of that cab. It would LOOK good haha...

    Bass playing Gloves??????

    I am on here today desperate for help. Long story short. Don't laugh at me. This is not funny! I am 48, and have played bass for almost 40 years. It's all I have left. I recently developed severe, painful, debilitating Psoriasis. It hurts to even have one drop of water hit my hands during an...

    Brice bass guitars

    I don't know what model mine is except that it is not active, and it is a 5 string. I was looking on the popular site that starts with the letter "C", and at the time I had very little money. I went to the guy's house an was quite happy with the bass I bought. I got it cheap. Hell I was strung...

    I have a Workingman's 15in 160/200 watt Combo amp. I would like to add an extension speaker to up the wattage to 200. The output jack says "8 ohm or greater". This may sound like a dumb question, but does that mean I cannot use a 4 ohm speaker cab? Also my direct out jack has a low...

    Boiling your Bass Strings: bringing it back for 2013

    Well, I boiled a 2 month old set. I've never boiled strings before. After I dried them in a 200 degree oven on foil I assured that they were dry by wiping them down with alcohol swabs. It really did help! I will go to my audition tonight feeling much better about my sound:hyper: I can't say that...

    Boiling your Bass Strings: bringing it back for 2013

    I am one of those guys who would change strings weekly if i could. I love the sound of new strings. I have strings that are a month old. To me they are dead. I have an audition in 3 days. I am broke. Should I boil my strings as directed on this forum. Will it help? I've never tried it.

    So far I am impressed at how much amp I got for 150 bucks. I thought I missed out on a better deal when I saw an add for a 160/200 for $140. Turns out it was the head only, so I am better of with the combo. Thank you for the feedback!
