    Another buyer beware thread

    Forum transactions are basically like mailing someone an envelope full of cash.

    Help getting this tone of The Smashing Pumpkins

    It was usually said that Corgan played the bass and many of the guitar parts on those classic albums, because he could do the track faster than the others could.

    1975 'Antigua' (kind of) Precision Bass??

    One wonders if the bass was not originally Antigua but one of the rare Antigua fans out there had it done up in this. Would explain the presence of the aftermarket pickguard to match.

    Leaving the band

    Thanks to everyone for your comments and commiserations. The environment with the guitarist is not hostile, I am just ignored by him because he dislikes me personally but will not say so. It's abundantly clear at this point. Just one of those people who snubs instead of being a jerk. Which I...

    Leaving the band

    Sad day for me. After working tirelessly and starting from nothing 5 years ago to playing on stage with a band regularly, things have changed so much in terms of band dynamics that I've reached the conclusion that I don't really have any choice but to leave. It's not any one thing, but the...

    Origin Effects ~23% price hike?!

    Electronics components have been made far more expensive in recent years. Sad.

    Quick visit to an out of town G.C.

    One of my first basses was one of those Modern Player Jazz Basses with the dual JJ pickups. It was a pretty nice bass, if I saw one for a decent price I'd probably buy it.

    Fodera with Brazilian Fretboard - Too Risky? - What are your thoughts on BRW these days?

    I don’t know how one can have general feelings about all instruments with BRW fretboards. They are all individual and some will be great, others not. It’s hard to give a meaningful answer to this question. This bass may be amazing or not, probably the seller doesn’t think it is if he’s willing...

    Barry Manilow Cancels More Concerts After 'Depressing Doctor Visit'

    I don’t want to give them a click so I don’t know what his health issue may be, but perhaps when you’re in your 80s there’s just a time to hang it up?

    Did people sleep on Tech21?!

    I think anyone who's been holding a bass on a stage for very long knows that Tech21 is serious, but yeah. I think that although they have their own distinctive style that apparently works for them, they don't really go for a classic aesthetic that might be a turn off to some people who think a...

    Did people sleep on Tech21?!

    Tech21's website says they have suspended production of all amplifiers, "Due to exorbitant price increases of materials combined with supply chain and transportation issues"

    Cali76 or Empress?

    What's La Bella DTF? I have used Deep Talkin' Bass and Low Tension Flats, and even their rounds which are really good, but never heard of DTF. Anyway I vote for the newer Cali. I had an empress for a bit and found it to be too noisy for me, and I like the way the cali's controls are structured...

    Compressor that works well with a variety of basses?

    I've had the Cali76, the Empress, and the Keeley, and I use the Keeley. I admittedly am not a guru on compression, and I did like the others for the most part, but the Keeley just works without me needing to fuss with it. There's only the threshold and the ratio to worry about and I don't care...
