I wouldn't mind a haunted bass but otherwise I don't really care who owned what or what they did with it. I worked in a used bookstore for a while and people used to approach me every day to wax poetic about the "stories these old books could tell" or "the smell of paper". I was always...

I know of Ampeg Armstrong basses but the headstock looks different on this one. Anyone know specifically who makes this bass?

I bet you can find a cheap AR-XA if you look around. Get a record brush, a Pyle Pro preamp for $12 and plug it into your current stereo and you're good to go for now. Upgrade your stylus, pre, amp and speakers as needed but in the meantime you're ready to play records on one of the best TT...

Glad you liked it! It's not a real quote though, just meant for a laugh.

Yup. I have guitars but honestly I don't care for many of the guitarist I have known and I like playing bass and in a few years hope to make the jump to DB.

No band. Maybe one day bit for now effects are just from screwing around. My practice sessions are generally 1/3 scales and that sort of thing, 1/3 learning a song or something my instructor gave me and 1/3 scewwing around at the end. Effects make that last part more fun but I want to just have...

Just want to quickly verify the general, assumed correct order for effects before putting my little board together. New to bass so just wanting a little assurance because I use the bike chain method to mount the pedals. I have the them in the following order tuner, octave, overdrive, chorus...

I don't think it's snobbery to make a distinction between a bass put together at a Fender factory and one put together by an individual from parts ordered from Fender or taken from other Fender guitars. One reason is that with a factory Fender,for better or worse, you know exactly what you're...

stylistically similar is nice, gives the band a nice visual groove to me but wearing uniforms seems a bit silly unless it's like you said, a banquet type event then it might just be to help you guys fade into the background, similar to how the caterer's wear uniforms. just my opinion from bands...

So I'm looking for good song books to learn bass with and I'm having the hardest time finding sheet music. Everything is tabs and I really want to get good at sight reading so I figure the best way to do that is to play music with sheet music. Also tabs confuse me, are inconsistent in their...

People have been playing Telecasters, acoustic guitars, all sorts of hollow and semi hollowbody electrics and anything else with a slab body just fine since the invention of the guitar. It's not a Rickenbacker issue, it's an issue of technique.

Just do what Telecaster guys do.

Awesome. That's exactly what I had in mind, so if I sent you a Pbass body minus the electronics and bridge what would be the total cost to refinish from Candy Apple Red to Shell Pink and what kind of turn around time would we be looking at?

Can you do Fender Shell Pink?

I think your warning is for online buying in general. I personally have purchased quite a bit off Reverb and it's actually my preferred place to buy music gear. If sellers have their stuff cross listed that is not a Reverb issue, that is a Reverb, Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, any other online...
