These are my two main players

I watched Lobster and Bully's reviews, but has anyone gotten their hands on any version of an f10 4 string yet? Any trip reports? Never owned a Sire before. :) I'm looking to move down to 34' scale for my band/gig bass (currently gigging an older 35" Peavy Cirrus) and these caught my eye. First...

I have to agree here, person to person I could see $400 on a BXP in really good shape, but $600 is pretty steep. If it were one of those 2017 US Spec Cirrus's made in Indonesia I'd pay $600 all day though. I paid $800 for a plain Walnut USA Cirrus a year or so ago. I have since had to put new...

Glad to see some Triumphs in here. My old Thunderbird:

Drummer in my band has 2 or 3 full Roland kits, they all sound great. He asked me about 2 years ago if I thought anyone would mind if he started playing an e Kit, cause he wanted to completely move over and get rid of most his acoustic drums. I told him he never tells me how to play bass, so I'm...

Mine just popped the other day- I can't say I noticed anything odd leading up to it. I was just tuning up before practicing... Thought a string broke or something. I'm glad it didn't happen during a gig... I have been lazy about bringing a backup bass to my last few gigs, I will change that...

Regarding Czech Cirruses: Interesting that Sweetwater is selling them now under $3k in some cases. Also Peavey is selling them on eBay for similar pricing, in addition to "Refurbished" ones at a decent discount. I'm sure they were having a hard time moving them at $3500. Eventually I won't be...

Time to join I guess! I have been exclusively working on Fretless with my instructor for about 6 months now... He's a Classical guitarist by training and has a good ear, he tells me my intonation is really good now and he usually can't tell I'm playing a fretless unless I slide. I still play...

My instructor got a flamed maple one of these during the sweetwater blowout and now uses it as his go-to teaching bass. (He's really a classical guitarist but has taught me bass and theory for over 5 years) It's really great and sounds awesome. Several years ago I almost bought one of these...

There is scattered info about T24's and T25's out there. But nothing real concise. I have a T24 that is more or less mint. (See attached) They are extremely well-made IMO and hit way above their weight. The only knock on these basses is that the pickups are a bit weak. So most people try to...

I thought about quitting my band last weekend when this kind of happened. I like the other two guys a lot, so I'm not quitting, but I think we have to do something. We have a guitarist who frequently won't own his mistakes, and gets pissy as all hell when he is gently corrected. He...

Reverend's play great. Gig machines. I have a Decision but would love to add a Mercalli. Enjoy!

So I came across this Zebra-topped Gibson Classic IV. GAS got me hard and I couldn't resist: Gibson support tells me this was Nashville-made in the late 90s. They did not have the precise record for this one so they had me send them a bunch of photos and researched it. There isn't a...

I’m not picky: Reliable Solid Neck that stays put Lightweight (under 9lbs preferably) Some basic versatility in sound Not that expensive Plays well Ben gigging a Reverend Decision P and it checks the boxes for my current situation.

I had a T-40 when I was a kid. It might have weighed as much as me. I bought it at a pawn shop. The owner owed my dad a favor so he basically gave it to me at cost I think. I traded that 40 for a set of old BIC speakers. From time to time I would think about that T-40 for a spell, and how it...
