    What to do with this &**%^& Jazz Bass?...

    My bass player currently plays a 5 string MIM Deluxe Fender Jazz Bass. It's a nice bass all in all, but we've been having some crazy issues with it. One day we picked it up and the neck was bowed like crazy. Some truss rod work seemed to clear that up, and we haven't noticed a problem since...

    FS: Gallien Krueger 700RB II Head

    I bought this a few weeks ago from a fellow TB'r on impulse, now I need the cash for an upcoming vacation. Should have planned better! Either way, it's in pristine condition. The pictures I'm using are from the previous ad, I haven't taken them my self, but it is the same exact unit. $350...

    FS/FT: '97 American Fender Jazz V

    1997 Fender Jazz V, Made in USA. It's in great shape, there is a little wear up on the round piece of the headstock, at the corner, and a ding in the neck up around the 12th fret, where your thumb would go, that's the only marks I've noticed. The body is in excellent condition. I'm...

    GK 700RBII Total Power Question??

    I'm a little confused on the two speaker outputs in the back and how that will affect the total power. Scenario 1 - Hook up one cab to one output in the back of the amp. This gives you an 8ohm load. Scenario 2 - Hook up two cabinets, one to each output on the back of the amp. This gives...

    Solidstate vs Tube

    Through all my years as a guitar player, I sure did get tired of spending money on tubes and repairs, and dealing with weird noise issues. Through MANY different brands and models. That being said, I would never have trusted my tone to a solid state amp! I put up with the trouble because I...

    Pickup blend knob on my Ibanez SR505 question?

    This sounds like a dumb question, and it really is. When I rotate fully clockwise I get the neck pickup, when I rotate counterclockwise I get the bridge pickup. Is this correct? Most of my guitars in the past have been the opposite. Just wonderin...

    Looking for a bass rig...

    My new Ibanez SR 505PB

    So I played for a couple of hours last night. It's very, very smooth. This is my first "modern" bass, I've had another model Ibanez years ago, kind of like P-Bass version. I've played quite a few Fenders and that's about it, mostly classic models of basses. This plays like butter, can't comment...
