Does anyone know where I can find replacement pickguards for an Ibanez TR-500? Thanks, TC

Hello Everyone. I need to replace the pickguard on an Ibanez TR 500 Expressionist and have no idea where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks, TC

Hey guys, I have a dilemma brewing and I need the help of all of my fellow talkbassers out there. I am trying to decide between a new Ashdown Mag600 and used SWR Redface. For the record, they're both around the same price. Something to consider; Our band is somewhere between Led...

Any good luthiers- other than Skojold- near Dallas, Texas? Cheers, TC

Man, I just made it back from guitar center, where I played a Sadowski, Olympic White Ultra-Vintage 70's edition. All I can say is... WOW! This bass really blew me away. It's far and away the best of the, modeled after a Fender Jazz, that I've played. Now I have GAS, major, major GAS. Can...

I have been surfing the net and find myself having a GAS for a Squier bass, but I haven't actually played a Squier in years. So, I guess my question is how do the new Squiers compare to say the lower end of the price range Fenders as well as the other lower price range "budget basses" out there...

All I can say about this is... Invalid Link Removed Wow...

Hey guys. Is there a guitar forum- anywhere out there- as good, or near as good as talkbass? Talkbass does rule, after all. Cheers, TC

I just thought that I would see if this bass would stir the mighty wind- I'm not a six-stringer myself, but I keep an eye out for my six-sting brethren. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Cheers, TC

Okay, I used to own a Kubicki Ex-Factor, it had the best neck and the best "feel" of any bass I've ever owned. I'm thinking that I would love to get back into that realm. However, I would like to experiment with other basses to see what’s out there. So, my question is... Does anyone know...

Okay, Now that my short scale bass project is underway, I have a new project. I'm now looking for a mid-scale bass and I know of very few. So, if anyone has any recommendations, let's get them rolling in, I have a feeling that this might be a long search. Cheers, TC

Prepare yourself, this is a long, sad and sordid tale. I have been on a long, long search for the perfect bass amp. I wanted something with a very warm, deep, organic sound, capable of a smooth, fluid overdrive; suited for playing small venues. In other words I didn’t want a massive bass...

Has anyone heard whether or not Mesa plans on replacing the 400+ with another all tube amp? Cheers, TC

Hey guys, Can someone compare the MIM Urge's vs the American made urge. Such as, how does the sound of the Poplar body compare to an Alder body- which has the deeper tone? Also, did they ever make an American made urge with only the neck and bridge pickup, or, do all of the Americans come...

That I souldbn't bother modding one with new pickups, new bridge and machine tuners? Thanks, TC

Okay, here's my dilemma. I love the Gibson EB-0, but I think that the Gibson reissue is way overpriced. What I love about it is it's shape, short scale and sound. So, I picked up a Epiphone EB-0. (Great bass for $200) However, I really do not like the way it sounds. So, I'm thinking of doing...

Okay, I survived a trip to guitar center today- always a challenge- and managed to play a few basses while I was there. The bass that really stood out for me was the Modulus Flea Bass. Which was an absolute shocker; First because I could never see myself playing with a carbon fiber neck...

Okay, with all of this talk and so many people having custom basses made, I think that it's finally time for me to start the journey that I've been putting off for years- it's time to have my own custom bass built. Here's the problem... where to begin? And that's where all of you come in...

Hey Guys, I've searched and read through a ton of threads and couldn't find any comparing/contrasting "hybrids" against all tube heads. I've heard some say that a hybrid maintains low end, and powers through the mix more than tube heads. Is this true? Is there anyone out there with a great...

Hey Guys, I know that this topic was covered a few months ago, but all of the opinions were a little vague- not many had really had a chance to play them. Anyway, here's the score. I like a deep, warm, organic tone- a tone that can be overdriven and still be warm with a lot of low end...

Okay, here's the score. I'm in the middle of an all out frenzy trying to pick out my next bass amp, and or combo. (I tend to play smallish/medium sized clubs) Oh yeah, I should also mention that I love a warm sound with a lot of depth, capable of overdriving and not losing low end. The...
