Hello, I am on the brink of making a purchase of one of 3 used Precision basses. I keep searching the internet for information about different years and there is the usual arguments over what year is better, what constitutes vintage, blah, blah, blah.... I prefer to avoid such talk. I did...

Hello, I know aspects of pricing can be subjective, but am considering a trade, acquiring a 73 P Bass. This is all I know about it... "Natural ..very good condish... I took the neck off and determined it was a 1976 issue...body and all wiring is 1973...headstock was re logo-ed" Let me...

That should read SOUND advice... Not sour

Nevermind... found one locally... good luck!

I've been looking at these and you may have an interested buyer with me... I haven't played one, though the idea of this amp is what I've been looking for for sometime... I have a Big ol' SVT VR for the big gigs, but have been waiting for the amp that adds just a little warm tubey fuzz for the...

I have been running the Ampeg through a Trace Elliot 410 (8ohms, 400 watts) somewhat infrequently for the past few years and if what you say is true, I'll stop... My question is now: if I get the Ashdown VS 212(8ohms, 300 watts) and run it in parallel with the Trace, will the difference in...

Thanks! All great tips. I will head all of your sour advice.

Hola! I'm contemplating picking up this Ashdown VS-212-200, rated 300w to use with a Little Bastard 30w... Would it be safe to plug my Ampeg SVT-VR into it? SVT VR = RMS Power Output: 300-Watts @ 2 ohms RMS Power Output: 300-Watts @ 4 ohms Ashdown 212 = 300 watts @ 8...

I bought a new Christopher DB303T Hybrid bass a few years ago and finally in this past year have been practicing and studying pretty hard with it... My question is: How do I know when I'm ready to trade up. What to trade up to is just a ridiculous question and I can see countless "experts"...

Thanks! I'll check it out in person... I'm more looking for a vintage Precision for the sound and feel... if the wood seems compromised due to lack of sealant, it may be a turnoff. If it plays and sounds great, it may be worth the $$. I can't afford the $4000+ price tag an all original would...

Forget looks, how would it affect the sound?

So I found this 1968 Fender Precision and apparently it has an unpainted, but lightly darkened looking stain that the owner says his guitar guy says is original.... I've never seen anything like it. Anyone heard of this? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I just bought a Gibson Victory Artist Antique Fireburst today for $600 and couldn't be happier with the tone of this monster! Would love to hear from other owners of this bass to geek out with... I feel like I won the lottery with this bass... Playing through my Ampeg SVT-VR and Trace...
