    How to sell? Consignment?

    I've sold a few things at a local small guitar shop (Mark's, oddly enough). They take 25% for saving you the hassle of bouncing checks, people that cal and don't show up and all the BS associated with selling stuff. It saves you a lot of hassle but costs you a few $. This helps support a great...

    from yesterday's paper, an actual headline

    From page E5 in the "Today" section of Saturday's Spokesman Review in the Dr. Gott column by Peter H. Gott M.D. "Estring may help alleviate painful intercourse" makes me wonder what uses the other strings might be used for

    I went with a GK Backline 112

    I bought a GK Backline 112 last evening. I got a good deal on it. I had a couple of other posts soliciting opinions on some other more expensive amps. For me and what I'm doing right now, I think this amp will be fine. I noodled around a bit then a guy came by who wanted to try the...

    The MIM Fender P-Bass Club

    I'll send a photo soon of my red MIM P-Bass. I like the red color, almost the same color as my Tele. The quality seems right on, no obvious flaws. I'm liking it very much so far. I finally got a real amp yesterday so now I can really hear how it sounds. Michael Red P bass...

    Fender American jazz or Geddy Lee?

    a few thoughts on your question.. Whenever you get a "model" instrument you get that particular instruments distinctive features sounds. You get the good and the bad of that type, pick up, etc. It's these things that make that instrument special. Do you just "not like" the tuning...

    Headphones with built in amp?

    Tech 21 Landmark 60 ???

    thanks for the replies. I'll look in to the Ashdown amp. It sounds like the amps I'm considering are all good ones. Thanks again. Michael MIM Fender P Bass (red), C-Tech P1b headphone amp

    Tech 21 Landmark 60 ???

    I'll try again here...the response to my original post was certainly most underwhelming :( Someone did post recently about the Roland Bass Cube...an amp I was considering.. so that's a partial answer.... Anyone have any experience with the Tech 21 Landmark 60? If so please share your...

    Ok, I have a question about headphone amps.

    I bought one of these yesterday. I plugs right into your bass, no cable needed. It has a line out for headphones or recording ( haven't tried recording yet) and an input for iPod, MP3, CD. etc. It has a tone control (called "Filter) and a switch for "tite" or "big" sound. It sounds pretty...

    real amp candidates

    I recently joined this forum. I've added bass to instruments I'm trying to learn to play. I have a MIM P bass. I'll probably just play at home, but who knows, maybe some day..... I bought a C-Tech SB1 little headphone amp yesterday. It is small, plugs right into the bass and has a variety...
