    Alternative to the Pure Vintage 63

    For something different, the Aguilar P is a great sounding pickup!

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    So, I wound up shipping all 3 Sushi Box pedals back to Nathan. He tested them and two were misbehaving due to bad tubes…one, SVT pedal needed a power supply. Nathan only charged me for the tubes ( of course, and didn’t expect him to do this for free) and shipping! All three now work great. Even...

    P basses that don’t say F***** on the headstock

    I’m thinking used…I have seen a couple at that price…but no, not new from Fender.

    P basses that don’t say F***** on the headstock

    Mike Lull, Moollon, Olinto. That’s the high end, IMHO, for vintage-vibe P’s. Lakland USA, Bluesman Vintage, Nash for mid-range. That said, for $5K, I’d be looking for a Masterbuilt Fender Custom Shop!

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    I also use an Ojai and a Cioks on my pedal board…I use the Ghost only at home. Maybe I should only use it with non-tube pedals…

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    This the power supply. I tried all 5 at 9V and the 2 switchable ones at 12. I’ll end this thread with this: I’ll communicate with Sushi Box and hope to get this resolved. Thanks everyone!!!

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    I have the 2 Note pedal. It comes with its own power supply. It’s clearly marked on the Sushi Box pedals to use 9-12v power. I did. The Ghost Fire had 9V @500 mamps and 9 and 12V at higher mamps. Tried all and no difference.

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    Yes… Ghost Fire. Tried 9V and 12 v….. both came up with nothing. I tried my SVT pedal, the AD-200 pedal, etc…

    EBS Reidmar 752 - like it or not?

    Considering buying one of these. Never seen anyone playing one here in NJ and never able to try one. Is this a good/fair/great amp and why? Thank you!!

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    Hi! I have bought 4 Sushi Box pedals and within a few months, they ALL have either crapped out and/ or gotten extremely noisy with all sorts of odd sounds. I plan on sending these back to Sushi Box to be checked and repaired - but - why is this a problem for me? What’s your experiences? BTW I...

    Favorite flat wound string poll

    So, the bass in my picture/icon has had the same TI flats for 20 YEARS. They are awesome and I will cry big alligator tears if and when one breaks! LOL!😂 They are my go-to flats. That said, I like GHS Precision Flats and LaBella Lo-Tension Flats and Ernie Ball Cobalts too.

    Photo Blur

    I have never seen some many blurry pictures on TalkBass prior to the upgrade. Wassup with that? Also, the way categories were displayed before (Forums. Classified, Etc.) made more sense to me and I didn’t have to hunt so hard. You guys got a LOT right before. Keep the good… What I like best is...
