    Warwick Rockbass Hesitations

    I'm surprised the Rockbass Corvettes are selling for that much. I got a floor model (a 4) several years ago for $99 at GC! I bought another four for $250 a few years later. Both are great guitars; our guitarist says it the best sounding bass he's ever heard. Of course, he's a guitarist... I had...

    ROCKBASS CORVETTE PARTS

    I am looking for a back cover (covers the electronics...duh) for my Rockbass Corvette 4-stringer. I moved and somehow it got lost in the move... I had the cover off to replace the battery and next thing I knew I couldn't find it. I've found one online for 75 bucks... I found that to be...

    SOLD Fender Deluxe Jazz

    Cash and a Sans Amp?

    I saw this and just about cried.

    It is remarkably funny looking. I do enjoy the filled-in pot holes; Old World craftsmanship! Perhaps a waaaay custom pick guard or paint. But, if it sounds good...

    cheapest crappy bass that you have loved?

    A 70'S-something Hondo. It still exists somewhere; I gave it to my wife's cousin. Trying to buy it back!

    Buying a bass - what to check?

    This reply is a little tangential, but yesterday I went to GC and tried at least ten basses and everyone of them had, to a degree, a "dead fret" on low C on the G string. All of the basses I own have them as well. I've heard that dead frets are a myth, but each had one. All on the fret...

    New gear advice

    Don't know what brands you can get but a Gallien-Krueger MB200 200W, Zoom B2, maybe a GK 1x15

    I appreciate all the info. The amp's pretty damn cool!

    Does that mean the cab has guitar drivers in it? Not bass? I'm going to post some more pictures, because I'm curious about what I've gotten here. I thought it was 2x12. But they looked bigger. I'd like to restore it... somewhat.

    Man, I know nothing about that stuff. I knew black was better than silver on the amp, but that's about it.

    oh-no...what's your favorite GK head?

    I have an RB 1000 and loved the sound; I have a GK MB500 that's pretty nice too.

    New amp, reliability advice needed. Eden content.

    Never had a WT, but I had some issues with Nemesis stuff, some poor assembly, bad power supply, so I'm a little leery of the Eden stuff all the way around. I have an Eden 1x12 cab right now and love it. Not the same thing, I know, but consider it another bump.

    He told me not to turn it up past 5! He played it through a mic mostly, so volume wasn't an issue for him. Band plays tomorrow, so we'll see if I can keep up without running it through a PA.

    RECENT PURCHASE BASSMAN

    The guy I bought it from seemed to know what he had, he just wanted it gone NOW. I told him it was a fantastic deal and he said he knew but it had to go. He's selling his house and moving somewhere smaller. He sold a Blues Deluxe guitar amp for $275. I probably would have bought that if he...
