any idea what shipping to IL 61821 would be?

thanks sam, i appreciate the useful reply. i just got to find a good place to get the parts.

I'm sure you all know of Kim Nekroman of Nekromantix. He builds his own coffin bass. lots of others have them too, The Brains, Tiger Army, etc. I want one, how do i do it? do they just build the body and buy the neck and other parts? If they don't do that, is that something i can do? i...

Oh all this talk about The Brains makes me excited. The rockabilly radio show that i'm part of just booked them and The Creepshow to play here in Champaign in july! and i still need to get their new cd. anyhoo i think cheap may be a bad idea. i work in a music store and have played long...

You know holding down the groove is where it's at! Workin in a music store, i've seen all the different players. by far the most annoying are the ones that are slap happy. Mediocre is the way to be! otherwise youre just showing off. Count me in please

I have a bass that i got in a trade. Could be a mexican fender jazz or it could be an AllParts body with who knows what pups. I love the tone but i'd like it to be a little lounder or boomier. i dont want to go active. anyone know what would be good? are the aftermarket Fender Original Jazz...

Yeah we sell Line 6 amps at my store the the bass stuff sounds WAY better then their guitar stuff. Definitely a worthy buy for the money

It's not all about how many notes either. A talented bass player also knows when few is better. Otherwise he'd be a guitar player.

yeah, id be ok with a second. if i could find one used and cheap that's beat to hell but plays and sounds good that'd be cool too. not many upright players here in champaign that are selling theirs.

yeah i figured. i'm just so anxious and there's nothing here in town or anywhere in the state on craigslist. i guess ill just start saving for an Engelhardt. thanks!

I've been dying to get an upright. I work in a music store so I know that usually cheap just isnt worth it. In this case it's so hard to save up for a decent upright bass. I saw this and I'm just wondering if it's worth it for a beginner. If not then I guess I'll stick with my jazz bass and...
