Excellent playing! I dig your Stevie "Do I Do" cover as well.

The ad says No Returns. I might suggest letting that one pass by.

I'm thinking about going to this and was wondering if there was anybody from TB made it in 2012 who could offer a review or an opinion. The threads I found on it are about 3 or 4 years old, and since it's kind of an expensive weekend I'd like to make sure it's worth it. I know I can buy many...

Another angle I sometimes view mods from is necessity. I bought a Kingston, and the stock guts had that woody sound through the mids. To me that sounds terrible. I modded it out with Bart guts and now it sounds excellent. But then I know I'd never get out of it what I put into it. Those...

I find him to be one of the most musically interesting players out there today. So much so that I signed up for his mentorship program. I didn't make the full 108 days with only 12 days off so I had to resign, but he was very helpful and definitely delivered what I paid for. I really dig his...

My experience is that the tone of a true single coil doesn't blend well with a humbucker. I think what you've got in the picture here, as well in most of these J/MM set ups is a side-by-side humbucker paired with an in-line split coil. Not that it's impossible to pair the two, just not common...

I thought it was excellent. I mean that. Thanks for drawing attention to it. Good stuff.

Great stylistic elements on this bass - the deep burgundy, Lakland's oval bridge with the lipsticks and a maple board. Very cool. I'm a lefty but I do wish you the best of luck with the sale

At the risk of asking a stupid question, why is the neck pickup considered the "guitar" side? That's where your notes are deepest and rounded. Near the bridge is where you get bite more resembling a guitar I would think. Any particular reason you did it that way? Regardless, it's a great...

My Warwick Corvette is very aggressive. So much so that I don't even play it that often anymore. You can get a used one for under $700 if you look around. It should satisfy.

I love the look of these and have often considered getting one just because it's not a lot of money for what I want looks wise - natural finish, j with white blocks. But having purchased another brand of budget bass it seems that pickups on basses like this have that "woody" tone through the...

I'm loving the look of this bass: very bridgey bridge coil, flamed maple headstock, the honey color and the mixed knobs. Being a fan of Barts is good, too. How long will it take you to convert this to a lefty, 5 or 10 minutes? Very good, I'll be back then.

Hey there, OP. I normally don't jump into threads, just read them. However, for $100 I think you may just have the highest value bass on the planet. I watched your video. There is a very good tonal balance between your bridge and neck pickups - they aren't too dissimilar and they blend very...

I have an heir. It's a 4, but my point is that I do not like the stock electronics. You stated you were not looking to spend $400 on an upgraded electronics set. That was exactly what I did. I couldn't be more pleased with it now, but the stock wiring produces that woody sound which I just...

Rockin' a Marcus Miller, eh? Nice. I like going to see members play. When you get your Chicago gig let us know. In the meant time, Best of Luck.
