I found a good deal yesterday at a pawn shop… they had a Mesa Subway+ preamp and after trying it I picked it up for $200 - a good deal I think? No marks and looked unused other than a bit of shop dust. I will be scouring the forum here for info, but after playing with it a while I really...

I thought I would give an update on a previous NBD post from mid-October... I found this 2013 American Standard Jazz locally from a guitarist who had it for a few years, but he didn't really play it much - certainly not gigged. It was a great deal and the only "sticking point" for me was the...

This was his asking price and I felt it was fair so I met the price without haggling for an extra few bucks. It's funny - the seller indicated he had been getting some lowball offers which he declined obviously - and I think he was glad to see it go to someone passionate about bass in general...

Just curious - I paid $1k even for this bass - sound fair? The seller was good to work with and the condition/playability/local availability made me comfortable with the decision. I really like sunburst Fenders like this, and seeing it become available locally in this condition is pretty rare -...

New jazz bass day here! 2013 American Standard in sunburst with rosewood fretboard. Wonderful almost mint condition from a local seller who is a guitarist and didn't play it very much. Pics below... I started playing bass about 4 years ago and I have been very pleased with my Yamaha basses...

Thanks for the reply on this - I'll do more experimenting and just choose what sounds best. The HPF/LPF applied to the DI signal that is blended in makes sense - I'm probably overthinking this. I'll probably just leave it alone for a while as I find the sounds and blend levels that I like...

Follow up post - couple of questions - and I did read through the manuals from Boss :) 1. Does anyone know the intended characteristics of the SHAPE button in the amplifier section? There are three variations or off. I can hear differences - and it appears that the variations perhaps change...

I posted some of this in a different thread - but I thought I'd chime in here too... I just received a 110 yesterday. My goals for the getting this: Good sounding practice amp for home Playing at church, special events, musicals etc as my own monitor while using DI to FOH Loud enough to...

I just received a 110 yesterday. Previous amps have been Rumble 100 (sold a while ago) and a GK MB110 (still have - looking to sell most likely?). My goals for the getting the Katana 110: Good sounding practice amp for home Playing at church, special events, musicals etc as my own monitor...

I really like La Bella copper tapes on all of mine - perfect for the playing I do which is mostly finger-style. I’ve also tried Daddario tapes which are nice, but I prefer the tone I get with the coppers. I do find that I need to boost my signal a bit to FOH via my MXR M81 - otherwise I don’t...

I thought I would share two recent NBD's in the past couple of weeks - I've decided to go "all in" with Yamaha TRBX basses! I have been playing a TRBX605 since 2018 along with some other passive instruments, but for my playing I just found myself reaching for the TRBX about 90% of the time - it...

Pm sent just in case...!

I’ll take it if still available- sending pm

I just received one of these yesterday from the classifieds - wow - love it! It's too bad these aren't in production. Going to explore all of the settings, but settled on this setting to try for church this morning - both switches left, treble about 9:30-10:00 and bass about 2:30-3:00 or so. I'm...

I’ll take it! Pm sent.
