I'm with you, I don't care about how thick a neck is, but I do care about the feel of the finish of a neck.

They have several options. They could probably sell their profitable businesses like epiphone, which would raise some cash. License the Gibson brand in Asia for everything except guitar and bass. Then sell the Gibson brand to a company that would actually make great Gibson style guitars in...

The rumble 500 is a great amp and should serve you well for a long time. While you can learn a lot without a decent amp, even unplugged or with headphones, I think to really fall in love with the instrument you need to feel the power of the low end that can really only come from 1 15 inch...

Ill never understand the concept that formal music education is in someways harmful to music creativity. Jaco didnt espouse this belief himself and taught music in a formal environment at the university level. What I take from the inumerable stories of great musicians who learn by ear, is that...

We have the standard GC selection in the DC area with 2 exceptions: Atomic Music Official Site This shop has roughly as many basses as guitars, their stock comes from whatever comes through the door. Prices are good and trades are fair. And Invalid Link Removed This is a high end bass shop...

Yup, never underestimate bragging right amungst rich people.

Gotta pay the bills

I dont think its purely altruistic for the rich guy to loan out the instrument, it gains value because it was played by him.

If you see his other videos he plays figit spinner style, plays chili pepper (literal chili pepper) style, tool (literally plays with hammers ect) style ect. But he also plays lots of diiferent styles of muic.

He is a youtube star who happens to play bass. Gimics get clicks, it is just the culture of youtube. He has done some impressive videos, for example he played 100 bass lines in a row. He is making money by getting clicks, thats not going to happen if he was just doing covers or things of that...

There is a very good reason you can have 2 guitarists and its extremely rare to have 2 bassists. It is more common to have 2 drummers than 2 bassists. Theoretically, you could have a lead bass and a rhythem bass, but probably not for the music you are playing. If she want to play bass on a...

Sonic blue: Invalid Link Removed

I didnt want to spend $900 on the MIJ reissues and as nice as the vm squiers are, $400 seemed a little steep for a bass that was not string through and didnt have colors that I liked. So for about the same price as a vm squire 50s bass, I began my journey to building from unfinished parts. The...

Bergantino makes a neo 4ohm 2x12 cab. It is very nice.

I have found that once I got a good amp and cab rig my gas for amps and cabs went down to almost nil. But there are always different basses that are different enough to pique my interest. Though I might be interested in a berg b amp when they get a little cheaper on the used market to match my...

The g&l jb is a jazz bass clone with 60s pickup spacing. ie it has a pickguard

I know there are 1980 g&ls but the pickings seem to be few compares to later in the decade.

Im glad i started this thread, it does seem like the japanese were making some good stuff, and richenbacker was fine too. But it is a little disappointing that there wasnt much on the american side besides high end boutique stuff like alembic or Steinberg. A few years earlier or later earnie...

I am not a fan of the 1 piece pickguard/control plate. Especially when the 5 string stingray classic has a separate pickguard and control plate. The old stingrays 4H with piezo had 5 control knobs so its not a space issue, its a choice. But that is a matter of taste, that neck is beautiful...

I heard it was a thing to get a bass from your birth year and started checking out reverb and noticed that my birth year (1980) had not almost nothing interesting. In 1980 fender was still in their CBS nadir. So while there might be a gem out there, a fender is probably out. Musicman seems to...

Life is too short to listen to music you dont like. I'm not a rap fan, but i dont have to listen to anything i dont like or are interested in.

Youre probably right because g&ls dont have the same heritage as fender and MM in terms of famous players and endorcements. And their estetic is quite 80s which limits their appeal. But imho they make the best usa made basses based on quality and workmanship.

The not delivering on the day its scheduled and losing a day off sucks. At least one cab arrived, the'll find the second one eventually. But in the grand scheme this is small potatoes.

Am right handed and play right handed. I remember when i was first starting to play that it feels awkward no matter what. I have always been surprised that guitar handedness is defined by the plucking hand and not the fretting hand. I think that it is more a matter of tradition than anything...

My pedal game is quite pathetic. I basically use my zoom b3 for everything, which did nothing satisfying my pedal itch. I am looking for a compressor, preamp, di, and a delay.

90s reissue lucite Dan Armstrong bass. It comes with both the DB and CB pickups and original hardshell case. The good: the neck and body are in great condition as are the electronics. There is some very light pitting on the bridge. Its been a well used bass and is Almost 20 years old. The not...

Does it come with a flash card?

I think it comes down to its just not a story if your spouce neither discourages nor encourages a hobby.

My first real build. Highway one body and tuners, jazz all parts neck, and quarter pounder pups.

You spelled bong incorrectly

If I put them in a closet, ill forget about them and "accidentally" buy another one.

They may have economized their manufacturing process in china to the point that it would be economical.

Jesse Keeler from Death From Above in 1979 uses Dan Armstrong basses BECAUSE he can more easily reach the upper frets.

Check out bergantino, their 212s are pretty tall and the lightweight models are light.

The GC near me usually has 10 used basses and then 40 or more new ones ranging from sterling mm to richenbacker 4003. The amp selection has varied, but its your standard GK, fender, markbass and acoustic combos, heads and cabs. They dont have anyone that knows anything, but the selection is...

The reality is that only bass players are going to even notice a boutique bass or bass gear. Even then, it's only going be a select few that will notice. Then it will be even fewer that will actually be impressed. Inho, these days any bass at the vintage modified or classic vibe level or above...
