    between 2 used precision basses!

    Which one would you choose between an 83 i believe FENDER PRECISION SPECIAL (both passive & active with the tweed case) and a Vintage Precision Bass '57 (made in 88) with dimarzio pickups (not sure if stock, probably not i suppose). I kinda lean on the special cause its stock, while the other...

    so, are flats indeed dull????

    From what i remember (since i never tried them yet) all reactions i ever got when asking about flatwound strings was that they sound dull and whatnot. That they will not sound cool slapping yada yada yada. That they are good for jazz. Maybe the slap point is right, but while i was browsing the...

    Me: The wannabe bass player.

    Hi! "Καλησπέρα απο Ελλάδα!" other than saying hi in Greek, my suggestion would be to get the best possible bass you can (best being very subjectional here of course) cause a lot of times, companies use...

    need some suggestions :)

    I ve read it :) thanks for posting it tough. It was a gret rig. The only thing to consider really now at that price point is the cab.. and whether to go for the backline (probably that) or the other deal. Unfortunately the avatar speakers most people recommend here are not available overseas.

    Best cab to pair w/ GK Backline 600?

    so i do not create another thread for exactly the same question (happy hijack) which cab if not avatars? Europe here so shipping for them would exceed the price/performance probably. Can find all sorts of cabs, hartke, ampeg, backline, warwick.. peavey :) Also, would you suggest an 8ohm cab for...

    Well, i had another round of reading here at tb and i am looking into these 3 options: 1) trace elliot 715 combo, but kinda scared to go that way cause all the hissing people reported here. (B stock, 330 euros) 2) GALLIEN KRUEGER BACKLINE 600/115 HALFSTACK. of course i can always get another...

    need some suggestions :)

    If i knew someone around that would build one, sure, i would give it a try :) Also, no matter how many USD you can get out of XXX euros, pricing still remains the same.. EG some amp in the USA, 400$ = 400 Euros here.. plain old european retailer bs. Which is exactly why i am mad, cause a...

    need some suggestions :)

    Hi all and sorry if this thread looks like another "which amp to buy" thread. I sincerely read pages upon pages of material here in tb but still, i need someone to take a look at what i found and comment. I am in a weird situation, cause i want to get an amp (combo or head/cab) in Greece, but...
