    Double Bass DIY upright stand?

    Wow, Jake. I'm really impressed. I was expecting heaps of pvc and duct tape, not an actual working bass stand. Ingenious!

    Double Bass DIY upright stand?

    I need one for my room. After a morning spent searching for solutions, though, I'm just kind of interested in what everyone else has come up with.

    Double Bass DIY upright stand?

    I've searched the forums and scoured google's infinate knowledge and can't for the life of me find anything about DIY upright stands. I know we have a huge group of DBers, and these things quite honestly take up a TON of room, so I can't believe that no one has found a quick and easy way to make...

    what to do with old junk?

    I got an old morley pro series wah for next to nothing a couple of years back... We had some good times, we had some bad times, but I recently got ahold of a dunlop crybaby so my poor POS morley is now defunct.

    Small Practice Amp?

    just a thought, but if your first bass ever is a peavy cirrus 5, cheapo is probably not a priority when amp-hunting :rolleyes: But +1 on the B20, they sound great. or you could try one of the vox headphone amps, I hear they're making one for the bass?

    Next step in bass playing?

    I'm in the same boat as you- 17, playing for seven years, playing jazz, rock, funk etc pretty well by now. I recently started taking lessons with a great techer, and noticed a huge difference- my slapping style was holding me back, I fixed it, I only knew a few basic scales, I learned more, and...

    Gibson SG Bass

    If you're just looking for a bass with that edgy sg-ish vibe and rumble, check out the washburn idol series: Invalid Link Removed They seem to be pretty versatile and smooth and they don't cost anywhere near as much as a new gibson. I've read a lot of good reviews and personally think they're...
