    Micro Practice Bass Combos - Phil Jones Bass X4C Nanobass vs. Alternatives

    I have no doubt that the Phil Jones is an excellent choose. I have a Positive Grid Spark Mini and I am surprised how good it sounds as a low volume practice amp. It is worth looking at.

    Amazon Basics Wireless system

    I was looking for a low-cost wireless system to use at home. I didn't want to spend a lot so I looked at that Amazon Basic system. But then I found this on Amazon: Amazon.com It comes with a rechargeable case, which I liked a lot, and it's only $25. I've only used it in my home office to...

    NBD: Danelectro (advise me on cosmetic repair)

    I have the exact same bass. Bought it new. I have the same tape lifting in the same spot. I have used a hairdryer and it works temporarily. I have learned to live with it, and it never got any worse. Play it and enjoy it.

    NBD! Peerless Retromatic B2 Semi-Hollow Body Bass

    They made these basses in 1 and 2-pickup configurations. I just saw a 1-pickup model in a Sam Ash. Supposedly the company is not longer in production and Sam Ash bought the remaining inventory. I read that they made these in the same factory that made Epiphones in the 80's and 90's. The one I...

    Tell me more about this. Did you use a guitar body and just swap the neck and bridge?

    Thunderbird Club

    Hey @Stevis, I have the Mono M80 case and my Epiphone TV Silver Thunderbird fits just fine. The headstock touches against the inside of the bag, and the lower bout of the body compresses the foam a bit, so it's snug. But the Mono bags are so well padded that I have no worries using it with the...

    Sorry to be stinking up this Thunderbird thread with another P-Bass photo, but here's mine with pin striping. I'd love to see a similar treatment on a goth T-Bird perhaps. Perhaps I'll need to do that!

    Yes! I love this look. I have a black p-bass with red and white hotrod pinstriping and it looks awesome. Would love to see that look on a T-bird. Build me one too while you're at it!

    Thunderbird Club

    I have an Epiphone TV Silver Thunderbird and on the website it describes the neck as 1960's SlimTaper™. For the current production Thunderbirds, it describes the Thunderbird IV, Goth and PRO-IV as SlimTaper™ and the Classic IV-PRO as 1960s rounded bass profile. Is the 1960's SlimTaper™ on the...

    I have a Mono case and my Epiphone Thunderbird fits! It's snug, but the Mono padding is so soft and protective.

    Sudden GAS attack! Help! Jack Cassidy Bass?

    There's a black one at Guitar Center in Palm Desert, California with a mark-down price of $399. It could be new, or maybe used, but it looks really clean. I already have a gold top one and I really don't need another. But if I didn't already have one, I would snap that one up.
