Don't need a number as I rarely post here. Here is my 2007 Worn Cherry SG Reissue. It arrived just yesterday, and I'm already amazed at both the sound and the ergonomics. One of the previous owners rewired the electronics to volume/tone/3-position pickup switch; I'm going to restore it to V/V/T...

mech, StuartV, thank you for your input guys! The funny thing is, TL5s and TL6s are pretty rare and costly in our country, going in the $800+ range. That's one more thing keeping me from defretting it, as I own an almost exclusive bass and really dig its sound and feel. So yeah, I guess I'll...

Has anyone tried a fretless TL5? I love my TL5 (fretted) but would like to have a fretless bass, and good fretless 5-strings are few and far between in my area. So, is it a good idea to defret it? Or should I just buy another bass? Any help will be appreciated.

That was a really fun and educating vid to watch! I must say I was really impressed by the EB-13. The top 3 for me would be Thunderbird, EB-13 and Jazz (in no particular order). All the others were awesome as well. Thanks!

So, (late) NBD for me! Got this one about a month ago, and I'm really impressed. It's a PB-600D model: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I was originally considering an MIJ Fender but saw this listed for about $350 and...

They definitely are, but I doubt they can be described as "tubby and dark".

Thanks a lot! That's nice to hear.

Hey guys, I've been playing for around 6 months, and today was the first time I got to change strings. As I have basically no experience with different brands, I've decided to try as many as I can and see what I like most. Long story short, I bought a set of Sunbeams and a set of Roto 66...

Here is my '99 MIK Bass Maniac (sorry for the pic quality): [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I've had this bass for a few months, and I seem to love it more and more every day! The tone is very pleasant and...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if a Yamaha RBX or Ibanez SR gigbag fits a Tune TBJ42? The Tune is being shipped to me without a gigbag, and I'd like to buy one without running around the music stores and exposing my bass to Russian weather. Thanks in advance!

Cool, thanks a lot! I guess I'll settle on a combo for now.

Hey guys, I hope my question belongs here, as it deals mostly with amplification. I've tried using the search function but got so overwhelmed with information that I decided to start this thread. So, in a couple of months I'm going to buy my first bass. I'm looking for the "modern" tone...
