I'm thinking of selling my old acoustic bass guitar. I would prefer it to be a local sale just because it's a big guy to ship, but I could be open to shipping if there is no local interest. What's the best way to go about this? Like, is it ok to say "If no local interest by X date, I'll open it...

I have some minimally used pedals for sale-- They're lots of fun but it turns out 40-something me isn't as interested in these types of effects as 20-something me was, so here we go! All pedals in immaculate condition, all include box + original packaging except the Oceans 12 (pedal + EHX power...

I really want to watch this, but it's like 20 minutes too long for me!

Yes yes and yes! If your brother wants to jam unplugged it can certainly be done. So I went the opposite of most and began with ABG, specifically the Olympia version of Tacoma's Thunderchief. I used dunlop picks, heavy attack, and some form of phosphor bronzes (I usually stuck with Elixirs). I...

Funny those silks don't all match! I thought they looked like different shades in the first pic, I just assumed it was a trick of the lighting. When I flipped my A saddle over, I definitely noticed a difference, though it may just be that the string fits the groove better on that side and so I...

Happy bassiversary-- I like that your fireplace matches your string silks, nice touch. Those winds today were intense, ours weren't quite as strong in Portland, but still enough to knock the fence down between our house and the neighbors! I've been meaning to ask, a while back you talked about...

Ha! I didn't realize they were making a Placentia line. I grew up in Fullerton and lived in Placentia for a few years. Naming the super-budget line after Placentia sounds about right to me :laugh:

Another vote here for the Tech21 bass boost chorus. I like that you can select two or three additional voices and adjust the relative detuning for them. Fun for experimenting without getting overly complicated.

Voted yes. Here's a cool video, not the same song, but with a little practice you can pull off Daft Punk vocals with minimal effects:

Aw man, I should have read the first post before voting, I can't believe I accidentally voted for Hanson!

Same thing happened to me when I first got my 734a; I thought for sure I had stripped the nut or something. Judging by the threads I found here though, I think this happens to most folks when they first learn about dual action truss rods. I will say though I was surprised at how much relief the...

I can't find the video link, but recently there was a guy on YouTube who broke down why ABG's are ridiculous. I agreed with him on some things, disagreed on others (full disclosure, I've played an ABG for 20 years on the same model the guy reviews-- the Tacoma Thunderchief (ok, ok, mine's the...

This is supposed to be a carrot, but it's a bit more "stubby jellyfish" or something if you ask me.

This says summer to me. Summer of '96 specifically, but works well for any summer (and I love the bass fuzz)

For your own consistency's sake, I sure hope you're running your turntable through tubes only, or at best class a or a/b. Are your hifi's speakers powered by class D? Oh I sure hope not! There is so much subjectivity to the perception of vinyl as a superior listening experiencing, it's really...
