I'll take it if you still have it. I'm on my iPhone and can't figure out how to send a PM at the moment, so PM me and I'll set up payment. Thanks!

I want it! PM me and I'll set up payment. Been wanting one for a long time. Thanks!

The only pedal I own is a TU-2... I hope to add a Deluxe Bass Fuzz soon.

I've played plenty of gigs with my 200w head and 1x15 and it has been more than sufficient. Smaller venues I can not even use the PA, and larger ones (where I'd need more volume) the PA picks up the slack. You'd probably get away with a decent head (2-300w) and a couple of 1x12 cabs. If you find...

Or maybe HE should pay for it if he thinks it's so important...

I personally like being able to feel what I'm playing through the stage and in my chest. I don't lug around an 8x10, just a 1x15 with a 200w head, but it gets the job done. I think your bandmates are under the misconception that a bassist NEEDS an amp just like a guitarist needs one to achieve...

I've noticed the same thing and tend to steer clear of anything above an Eb on the B string. I love my bass, and the tone of notes lower than E on it, but the boominess that someone else described has changed my technique. Just like where I pluck the strings. I used to hang out closer to the...

I think if you can't get the sound you want with only 2 guitarists then you either lack skill or your expectations are unrealistic. Most people in the audience can't tell the difference between 2 and 3 guitars in regards to how it sounds. Heck, most don't know the difference between guitar and...

I see this a lot on my local CL: "I have gigs lined up and need a band ASAP!" Translation: I'm booked to play at my sister's friend's sweet 16 but I need people to help me write songs and play all of the instruments because I only sing and I don't even do that vey well and I own a PA...

Did anyone else imagine the description narrated by someone with a Mexican accent? If not, try reading it that way and it is REALLY hillarious! Too bad about that bass. I bet it was decent before he ruined it.

I just read through every single post in this thread and thoroughly enjoyed it! I have two stories, both relating to the fact that we are an instrumental post-rock band. 1. We played a show with a pretty successful local band and it turns out they are all pretty full of themselves. After our...

I asked my luthier years ago about how to pack my guitar for a long road trip and he told me to put it in it's case, then put the whole thing inside of a sleeping bag in order to regulate the temp and humidity a little better.

I think you're crazy man! I love my brown-burst with black-chrome hardware. I looked into some strap locks for it, and there were none that matched, but other than that small problem the hardware is KILLER looking. I'm not big on gold hardware in general, but the black-chrome is unique and less...

I think the appearance or style of a bass is more at home in certain genres, but whatever tone you like (and your band/listeners...) is just fine. Would you play worship music with a B.C. Rich (maybe an Eagle), probably not. Would you play metal on a hollow-body, probably not. But if it works...

I generally let the music be my guide. When I play with my band I can move around quite a bit, but at church I tend to keep to myself (just close my eyes and groove to the song). I get frustrated when I see musicians doing more dancing than playing (and there are a lot of 'em around here...)...
