    @Smooth_bass88 @JazznFunk @BillyRay It's passive. I've added a photo of the back to the original listing and am posting it here for your convenience.

    SOLD Ernie Ball Music Man SUB USA 2004

    This is a USA SUB, made in 2004. It's basically a Stingray with a bombproof textured body, a (formerly) painted neck, and a 2-band EQ. The headstock has a few nicks on it but otherwise the bass is in great shape. I didn't like the painted neck so I stripped the black paint off the back of the...

    SOLD Ibanez ATK800e Walnut 2015

    I'm moving so I need to thin the herd. Bass has some wear on the body near the pickups but other than that it's in great shape. Set up with new DR Black Beauties. Weighs 8.8 lbs on my bathroom scale. Ships with Ibanez gear bag. Buyer pays shipping. I'll knock $50 off the price if you pick it up...

    SOLD MM Big Al-5SSS PDN

    I didn't know any Big Al's came with roasted maple necks. Any idea if any 4SSS's were made with roasted maple necks?

    Dingwall Owners Club

    Just received my Afterburner from a trade. It weighs between 7.4 and 8 lbs (feels like 7ish to me) and not a mark on it. So happy to be able to play a Dingwall!

    TRADED Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 5 HH Barolo Purple with Roasted Maple Neck

    Barolo Purple Bongo with Roasted Maple Neck, Ebony Fretboard, and Matte Black Hardware This bass has lived in its case for most of its existence; I can't find a mark on it. The roasted maple neck feels and plays much better than the painted necks of most Bongos. Willing to consider trades for...

    Musicman Sabre Club

    Where would the serial number be on a mid-80's Sabre? I'm looking at one online and I don't see one on the neckplate or headstock. Would it be somewhere on the bridge?

    Dingwall Owners Club

    I guess this is not necessarily a Dingwall specific question as it would apply to other multi-scale basses but as I'm asking it specifically about Dingwall basses I figured I'd ask it here. How is the nut width measured (don't say "with a ruler")? Is it measured along the nut itself (which is...

    Left Hand Technique Help!

    I'm new to playing bass as well and have been dealing with some wrist pain. I'm pretty sure it comes from me tensing and putting too much pressure on the back of the neck with my thumb (i.e., using thumb and finger to pinch the neck/string). Just looking at the picture you posted, I'd say that...

    SOLD Dingwall D-Roc Standard

    Nice looking bass, GLWTS. I saw in another thread that you were looking for a Dingwall NG3 4 String. I've been looking at Dingwalls and was wondering what the D-Roc doesn't do for you that you think the NG3 will.

    Official ATK Club (Part 4)

    Missing out on that bass gave me a major case of FOMO. At the risk of jinxing it, I believe I've found another good deal. It's one of the newer models with the redesigned preamps but it's got an extra pickup as it's a "premium" Ibanez ATK800 walnut. I'll be picking it up tomorrow (fingers...

    Official ATK Club (Part 4)

    He sold it just as I was about to head in the car to check it out and purchase it. Had I known he had someone else looking at it I would have scheduled a meet up sooner and/or paid more than $250. He was the one who suggested the meet time. Grrr.

    Official ATK Club (Part 4)

    ATK 300 that according to the serial number was made in Korea in 1994. Looks to be in great condition. Seller wants $250. Gonna check it out tomorrow afternoon. As long as it's structurally sound that's a no brainer, right? I've been looking for a Stingray for a while and this is as cheap...
