    Stellartone - ToneStyler

    Somewhat stupid question, but I noticed that most people that use the tone styler speak of their P-bass. Is it primarily a p-bass thing? Does it work/sound the same with the Js?

    Lakland and Sweetwater made my weekend!

    I must say that the lakland is a well-built instrument. I am totally impressed with the quality of the bass and the excellent playability.

    Lakland and Sweetwater made my weekend!

    So I celebrated my 40th birthday this weekend, and my wife surprised me with a Lakland DJ5. The one that I've been gassing about for weeks. The only reason I didn't get it myself was because I was looking for a used one, since the new one wasn't in stock anywhere. My wife, called Lakland...

    Brubaker Brute Club, Part 2

    I've just acquired a Brute JJX-5. White with green pick guard. I seemed to also scored with an Aguilar obp-3 pre inside. The pickups don't have any markings, so I guess they may have been the originals. The serial number is B-00050. So far I love the bass. The neck is smooth and fast, and has a...

    SOLD FS/FT: Brubaker Brute 5 modified. Lakland USA Pups. EMG Preamp.

    I'm interested in this but just can't pull it off with cash. What I do have is a KSD Proto J5 that I like, but willing to part with, if your interested in a Jazz. I've never heard or seen this bass in reality but from all the comments about it, it seems enticing.

    Replacing preamps - Ibanez BTB 785PB

    I have a BTB 785. It's the one that includes the piezo bridge pickups and bartolini mk2 soapbars. There isn't much info out there on this particular bass. I'm thinking of a preamp upgrade. Not certain yet which I will go with. I would like to keep the piezo available. When I look at the current...

    Official Crappy Bassist with Expensive Gear Club

    I just have to say, this thread has been so inspiring to me. I've been playing for about a year and a half, and I went thru 4 basses within the first 3 months of playing. And although I'm still playing scales, I've been looking at Ken Smith, Pedulla and sadowsky for e next. For a while I thought...
