I hope they make the knobs available!

I'd had a previously OK experience ordering something small from Hello Music, so I was willing to give them another shot. What a mistake. My order was cancelled without explanation when I enquired to why it had been 2+ weeks and it still hadn't shipped, despite charging my CC...

SL 112 cabinets for $636.65 - normally ~$750 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G60E50 I've been watching them for a while, and I think this is the lowest I've seen in about a year

Yeah they do! I LOVE those huge "bass boat" looking metal flakes so much. I saw a 1505 at Atlanta Bass Gallery a few times with that great silver flake. If it were a four string I would surely have brought it home with me. Pretty sure I just saw another TB'er got it a few days back.

I've had a 1980 L-1000 for around 20 years and love the neck profile on it. I also have a late 90's L-2000, which has a thinner profile that I don't like quite as much. Were there multiple profile and/or width options for necks on the early L-1000s? I'd love to get another L or maybe an M...

I see there's a Surfcaster bass on eBay - that's the first time I ever saw one for sale - anybody here got one? I has serious GAS for those things when they came out.

Congrats baloo. When I did my mod, I was "supervised" by my greyhound - she hates a cold solder joint :) I did use alligator clips to try a bunch of different combinations to see what worked best for me. I strongly recommend it if you have them around. If you don't have them around, you...

If you want to wire up the switch yourself, it's pretty easy to do if you're a little handy with a soldering iron. First, make sure that your humbucker has 4 wires coming from the pickup. One (hot) will go to the blend pot, one will be grounded to a pot (probably along with a shield), and...

I think you have 45 days to open a claim with PayPal. Beyond that, they will do nothing for you. You're already VERY close to that window closing. Open a claim immediately.

Mine did have all four wires brought out as well. I installed an on-on-on toggle for series/rear coil/parallel.

Nope, not a contest winner here, but that's OK - I'm just glad to finally get my hands on a Brute. I tried to get one a back in the fall and there was a bit of a snafu with UPS destroying it in shipment and then a replacement was unavailable, so I gave up for a while. I guess I'll have to...

My Brute MJX 4 string showed up yesterday and I'm really digging it. It shipped direct from AP Intl and was very nicely set up right out of the box. It is red, which isn't a color listed in the brochure - I wonder if mine is older stock, or is red just not a listed color? I also was...

Cyclomatic, I never expected a case and I think the cable is a non-issue - I've never bought a bass that even came with a cable. I'd guess a little molded cable is more likely to do damage to the instrument knocking around inside the shipping box than it is to benefit anyone. Most people...

I'd send you mine, but it honestly wouldn't be worth the stamp to do it! :p I did open my crappy envelope this morning and there was a sheet with some string info and a little xeroxed snip of paper that was the "warranty certificate" in addition to a few hex keys. I wonder if the re-taped box...

Mine arrived on Tuesday. FexEd had managed to punch a couple good holes in the outer carton, but the relatively flimsy inner carton somehow survived. I was a little shocked at the packaging and lack of box contents. There were just a few foam blocks in the box and the bass was packed in one...
