This bass is on its way!

Sold & shipped - sorry!

Messaged back!

This is a great pedal, I just don't have time to play any more and would rather see this go to a good home instead of sitting around not being used. There's velcro on the back so you can put this right onto your pedalboard. See pix for condition - it's been used minimally and has a beautiful...

Custom USA Spector NS-5XL – BRAND NEW condition with Spector Hardshell case Asking for $3,750 for this beautiful custom US Spector bass, made in the fall of 2014. Only played twice, in my own home, for a total of 4 hours of playing time. There are no scratches or dings AT ALL. The only flaw, if...

This bass has now officially been sold and is the hands of the new owner. Enjoy.

Potential deal in the works - I'll respond to all other inquires via PM with an update.

Fun thread. In short: yes, it *is* your inexperience. This isn't a knock against you, it's the simple truth. You can only get better at locking into the groove with time. I've been in my current band--a jam band--for 3 years now. First time in a jam band, all the rest were straight rock...

My first USA Spector bass has arrived!! An NS-5XL greyburst with EMG 40J pickups and 9v Haz preamp. Thanks to Todd at Guitar House of Tulsa for the guidance and taking such gorgeous pictures. This instrument is even more beautiful in person, and the tone is phenomenal. I had my first rehearsal...

Beautiful!!!

Before you even start with sheet music, I recommend starting off with a comprehensive bass book. I highly recommend the Hal Leonard Bass Method, books 1, 2, & 3, which is written by Ed Friedland. You can buy them all combined as one book. By the end you'll have mastered sight reading. It takes...

Beautiful!

I am in the same boat as you. Mostly it's because I only have enough room for three, maybe four basses max. We live in a small house, and all of my music equipment has to fit in a closet. Except for my bass rig, which is in my band's Music space. But since we share with another band, I don't...

When I was learning to play bass many years ago, the music teacher at my school would take masking tape and put it on the first five frets of the bass and then write in the names of the notes using a pencil. This was a really great way to quickly learn where the notes are located. That might be...
