Wanted to necro this thread to let yall know that I have indeed bought my first bass this week, an Epiphone Thunderbird w/ Hardshell case for $250. I've got the folks at BassEmporium giving it a tune up and restring with rotosound 77s. I think I've decided to give up the ghost tho and just...

Here's another one in the same town, little better condition for $18,900: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Bass Emporium does have a 58 Fender owned by the late Clifford Antone going for $9999 Invalid Link Removed

Thanks for your response, I've an upcoming appointment with my ent (been seeing her for nearly 20 yrs) anyways due to an aid being in the shop. (Man, mono-hearing sucks :mad: ) I'll be sure to ask her then. I was just curious to see if there were any commercial ear muffs, the running theme of...

Was browsing Austin's craigslist and my eyes about dropped out of their socket after seeing the asking price. I'm a newbie to basses so I have no clue as to whether or not that's a rip off or not. Thought I would post it here for yall to decide: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Craigslist...

On the subject of lefty basses... Easier to re-string a bass for lefties or just learn to play a righty upside down? I could probably adjust to finger picking with my right hand, but I would only ever feel comfortable slapping with my left.

Hi guys, I do apologize in advance if this is the improper place to ask the "this or that" question, I'm still learning the lay of the site. Also not looking for a brand war, just some honest opinions. So the setup is, this will be my first bass purchase, but I'm on a shoe string budget...

I'm on a Dio fix lately so "Heaven and Hell," and "Stargazer" fit the bill quite nicely.

Whew, what a long read. As someone with already moderate hearing loss (birth defect) what kind of protection would yall recommend for someone who only does personal sessions. Ear plugs are not an option for me since I wear hearing aids.

Was looking for reviews on a Peavey Bass I saw in a pawn shop. Reviews as well as the site look promising, might stick around for a while. :)
