    Launched my first Reverb store for selling... got any advice, tips, warnings?

    I've never had issues selling pedals without shipping included. When I tried to sell a bass without shipping included, I only got messages asking me to include it. I tried to tell people that it would be cheaper if they just bought it and paid for shipping, but people just insisted. I gave up...

    Is the "battle of the bands" a real thing? I've never heard of or seen one.

    I played in a few in a high school band. Mostly they were at high schools and only offered bragging rights, but there was one put on by the local radio station that had a cash prize. The radio one was also not limited to high schoolers, so the competition was a lot fiercer – our crappy little...

    Still Playing Your Joe Dart Bass?

    SBMM JD-2 is my daily driver. Plays and sounds nicer than my older MIM Jazz Deluxe. I also had a SBMM JD-1 that I liked the feel for but found myself missing the Jazz pick up config too much. Was considering selling it before they announced the cheap JD-2, then just wait to sell it until after...

    Bass Big Muff Pi 2

    I haven't found the Big Muff 2 demos on guitar to be very compelling, but this bass version's demos sound surprisingly nice. And at those EHX prices, too!

    Orange Isobaric

    I had owned an iso Orange cab for a while. It sounded great for the punk band I was playing 'lead bass' in, but I remember finding its dimensions and weight distribution an awkward carry compared to the guitarist's 212 combo amp at the time. Ultimately sold that cab and not looking back.

    New B stock Sterling Joe Dart basses - $320

    The JD 2 (the Jazz one) is my favorite bass. It plays great and sounds great, with a more modern and higher output sound than my MIM Fender Jazz. B stock price is a deal for sure.

    Aimless but having fun!

    Hi TB – I missed that this part of the forum existed. Better late than never. I like it here! I love reading about peoples gigs, what people are into, and it's been cool to see some in depth discussion around instruments and gear, too. The electric bass is my favorite instrument to play. I...

    NBD - SBMM Joe Dart Signature

    Nice - I just got my 2025 SBMM Joe Dart II and I absolutely love it! I have the ‘24 Sterling Joe Dart as well, which I originally ordered because I figured there might not be another chance to pick up a cheap JD signature, but when they unveiled the Jazz inspired one for 2025 I barely hesitated...

    What sound would you choose?

    A fretless is the next bass that I want to pickup, so naturally it's the next bass you should pick up!
