    P Bass Finish Question

    Hello TBers! Quick Question: is there a difinitive list somewhere that would show, side by side, all the P Bass models by Fender that feature a nitro or other non-poly finish? For clarity, i will turn it around and ask another way: I want a P Bass with a nitro finish. Which ones have that...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I just typed a huge tome about how I recently had my world rocked by Yamaha basses, then I guess accidentally deleted it. So here is the truncated version: Tried a 400 series bass side to side against a Warwick custom shop Corvette, a couple of Lakland Skyline AJ basses, and some Musicman...

    Yamaha BB Toneshaping

    Wallace, thanks for the reply, Nice gift to your Brother! I guess the bottom line is that I am having difficulty Wrapping my head around the "either/or" aspect of the V, T, switch... Perhaps there is a cheap little something or other at one of the local shops I could noodle around with... Weird...

    Yamaha BB Toneshaping

    Did you come from a bass with the ability to blend? I am very curious about going from a blendable PU set up to an either/or. One consensus seems to be building that the PUPs in Yammies are very good on their own and maybe with a little rolling on or off with the tone knob there is enough tonal...

    Yamaha BB Toneshaping

    Howdy folks, I have been looking at various Yamaha BB configurations lately, and have been liking what I have heard regarding their build and sound qualities, I like what i have seen so far re. price point for some of them but have a question. For the 424 and 1024 series, the controls look nice...

    In the event of a zombie apocolypse...

    'Zombies, say bye bye, 'cause I'm gonna hit homeruns with your heads! Swoooooosh, bathump, crackle.' OK, like this. Fine, cheat and don't use a bass or bass accesories product. Great job on the first one, but i promise you, there are like 30 more on the heels of that first one, and they are...

    In the event of a zombie apocolypse...

    Couple things here...Firstly, Walking Dead is awesome. Creepy stuff, and I generally hate horror stuff and think Zombie stuff is the low hanging fruit of the film world. Plus 95.5% of the time ANY budding film maker has to do something they choose zombie stuff. So I hate that. But love Walking...

    Gigging with a Miata...

    I really love this thread! I have an'08 MX5, Grand Touring power hard top, yadda yadda...REALLY need to see about fitting two basses in the trunk. As it is now, i can cram two Jazzes in the front (fretted, fretless) along with the littlest Genz Benz combo, and backpack full-o-crap (pedals...

    Stupid advice or stupid things you've done (bass wise).

    Bought an MTD Kingston z4, fretless. Didn't feel the love immediately, never really warmed up to it. Got a gig with no clue as to what would be there for the show, freaked out badly, sold the Kingston and an old Japanese telecaster for a pittance to scrape together what i could to buy a new...

    Basscast is (almost) back

    Yep, I only recently discovered Basscast too. Fortunately, I have been dolling them out to myself and I have many episodes to listen to remaining...BUT I want to throw my hat in the considerable pile of fans saying "Bring it back!" Truly, the most educational and entertaining podcast out...
