Hi Everyone, This is a hail Mary post. I am in need of an upright bass from tomorrow, Saturday Jan. 10th till Wed. Jan. 14. It is an Elvis Presley tribute show. We are touring between the Ft. Lauderdale/N. Miami/ Clearwater area. Any bass will do, and the budget is 300-400 dollars for the 5...

The Bassbone doesn't do distortion even with the gain maxed out on either channel.

I have a set of the JH7 and LOVE them. The group I play with uses no amps on stage and relies only on the iem set with our own personal mixer. I play 5 string and the drummer has a killer gretsch american custom kit. It all goes into the mix and i have yet to overdrive them. My bass sounds great...

i have a few names you can check into if you want to pm me.

I drive the 2012 Ford Focus SE Hatchback. It fits my 7/8 bass fine without having to adjust the front passenger seat at all. I travel regularly carrying 2 electric basses, the 7/8 upright an amp either an acoustic image combo or a mesa boogie 210 cab/ashdown head and a suitcase or 2 with no...

just met him tonight in a hotel bar outside of philly,pa. He was telling me he has an 80s era pedulla and a 4 string music man. didn't ask about the amp situation. very cool, very nice guy.

I second the carvin. Especially with the j99 pickups. I have an XB75P with the jazz neck pickup and mus. man bridge which is neck-thru and sounds great. i also have a fretless sb5000 with both j99 pickups and it kills. It is very fat and punchy. you'll get 5x the bass for the money going with a...

Rick Turner's fretless Renaissance Basses are definitely worth checking out. It is an unusual look, but it sounds great and is really light. I don't know if you could find one to try out before you buy, but I've seen them regularly sell here and on ebay for way less than 2k. Carvin basses are...

I got a chance to play through the TC, and it sounded very good. Compared to a Boss CEB-3 (too subtle for my ear), and a liquid chorus, it was way above them both. Compared to the ebs unichorus, it can hold its own and is maybe better. It's probably more versatile than the ebs and way less...

I guess I should list Tommy as well. Entwistle is always phenomenal.

I'm playing for Jesus Christ Superstar next weekend, and the bass playing on the original album is great. I'm not sure who the player is, but it's definitely worth a listen.

I would check out the ary bows through lemur music. They are fantastic bows, and they may send you a few to try out,then you can pick the best of the bunch. You may need a deposit for the bows, but would get it back upon return. Very good consistant bows. Becareful making the plunge to a more...

Mesa Powerhouse cabs are definitely fine pieces of gear. I've owned and used a 1x15 and a 2x10 as my sole rig since I could afford professional gear. Most of the past 7 years, I've only used the 15, as most of my gigs didn't require both. It is a bit better of a stand alone cabinet. When I made...

Check out carvin basses. you can get a great feeling, great looking, great sounding bass for your ball park budget. you have a wide array of pickups to choose from, and in addition to that, you can get electronics that have the active/passive option. that seems to be a better option for...

go for the carvin. you might be able to find something in the "guitars in stock" section to meet your budget, but if you are at all flexible, you can get a GREAT instrument that would be custom made to your image of a sweet bass. I have played a carvin xb75p as my only professional bass since...
