    Okay, let's be honest, is there a bass that you always have lusted after?

    I’ve always wanted this one.....

    Embassy Pro or SR400EQMM?

    I just spent a little time in Sam Ash playing the Embassy PRO yesterday. It really is a well built little piece of gear. I loved it and will be buying one in the next few months. I like the vintage vibe. The Ibanez is a nice instrument also....but completely different in my opinion. Much...

    For Sale John East BTB-MMSR 3 knob 3 band preamp Sting Ray

    This is a brand new, never used, bought about a year ago, John East BTB-MMSR 3 knob 3 band preamp. I bought it for a Sterling by Music Man fretless upgrade, but ended up selling the bass a few months back. I was going to keep it and use it on my G&L L-1000 but have decided to keep the original...

    What's the Deal with the PRS SE Basses??

    I played both today and am currently looking for a way to get a Red Kestrel. I wish the Kingfisher had a bound neck and more color choices.....

    Precision body with Jazz neck

    You can buy necks and bodies straight from Fender and roll your own. I did one with mexi sunburst body, maple jazz neck, and Duncan quarter pounder P. Easy to put together, cheaper than buying a mexi P.

    Fender Bronco 40 vs Fender Rumble v3 40

    Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I have a Bronco 40, and I can't see how the Rumble 40 would be any better. I have played most of the Rumbles in GC, and they are great amps, I plan to get a 500 head if I need to play live. But the Bronco is so much more versatile, I just can't see how you...

    3012lf Full Range?

    I don't know how it would compare volume wise, but I've got some Altec 421's that I had in a cab tuned like a subwoofer that did the low high single sound source perfectly. With a good solid head two of them would fill any stage and room I am likely to play. They were HUGE, though!! Jeff

    Fender- What's the deal?

    I have a Squier Jazz and a Squier Precision. I have had Fenders in the past, and Music Man, and Gibson. I have cheap basses now because I can't justify (to my wife) having expensive instruments. The Fender is the Original bass. That is where it started, and more songs have been made with...

    Tried to improve my fretting technique, and OUCH

    If you play standing and have the bass hung down at your knees then you don't want to do the thumb on the back of the neck thing... Also, adjust your action so it is low, and fret right behind or on the fret itself, not in between. You will need less strength to hold the note. There was a...

    fender classic 50's precision or highway one precision???

    I like the vintage frets and the maple neck on the 50's classic. Depends on the deal I found, but I lean towards the reissue...the glossy neck can be resolved with about 10 minutes and some 0000 steel wool....
