A friend of mine has been wanting to get back into playing bass for a while. I finally convinced him to dig his old bass out of the closet, it was a bass he'd described to me as a "Frankenstein bass" that bad been put together from a bunch of different parts. When he first showed it to me, I...

I've had this bass around forever, have posted progress pics of it a time or two, but just today finally got around to putting it all together. There are a few more things to do to it, including new strings (all the sets I've got around the house are cut and won't work with the...

I'm downsizing and upsizing my rig at the same time. I've had a Yorkville 4x10 forever, and it's just getting to be too big of a pain to lug around, up stairs, in and out of the back seat of my extended-cab truck, etc. From things I've read, I believe a 12" driver is what I'm looking for...

I've always used big, giant, ugly amps. I've never had a problem with them. It made me feel like a bass player to have a giant stack sitting next to me. It was my comfort blanket. However, my back isn't as strong as it once was, I'm starting to hate stairs, and a recent problem with my...

I posted a teaser pic in the Stratobass thread and got a couple of questions, and I didn't want to derail that topic. I figured I'd post my own thread, and hope my builder doesn't shoot me for letting the cat out of the bag too soon (the bass isn't quite finished yet). Here is the CAD...

I've got a custom bass heading my way soon, and to pay for it, I've decided to let this one go. It's a 1998 (at least I believe it is by the serial number, please correct me if I'm wrong) MiM, black with rosewood board. There are few if any scratches, and only one small ding that I could...

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm extremely happy with the folks over at Peavey and would like everyone to know how I was treated. Back in 2008, I bought one of the VB-2 amps from Guitar Center (when they were on closeout, I think I paid just...

So I'm working on a project, and the bass will incorporate a strat-style 5-way switch. I was wondering if there was any way I could wire this up to replace the tone knob. Obviously, it'd require a different value capacitor to be wired to each individual setting of the switch, but is that...

I'm in the process of starting a cover band with a couple of friends, and none of us have any type of PA. We've only had a few practices/jam sessions so far, but it's becoming clear that we're going to both continue and need some sort of PA very soon. Every band I've been in before, someone...

I know there are a lot of talented folks in this forum, and my rebuild projects aren't nearly as impressive as the scratch-built instruments that are displayed here. I'm hoping to take what I learn from rebuilding some inexpensive basses and one day apply that to building my own. I've got one...

Been thinking lately about trying a 5'er once again. Couldn't find anything that really spoke to me; I'm not really a fan of active instruments and about the only thing I knew I somewhat liked is the Squier Deluxe Active V Jazz. I owned one a few years ago and miss it a bit, but just couldn't...

Shortage of funds forces sale; no trade offers please. All-original 1976 Precision bass with some mojo! VERY recent pro setup and newly strung with DA Chromes. HUGE sound, great feel. Everything is in good working order, no surprises. Original case included and it's in good shape, mostly...

I bought this a while back to see if I could convince myself to like active basses. I couldn't, and this has virtually no playing time. Looking to trade for something 4 strings, passive, with frets. Precisions are good! The ATK is in great shape, no nicks, scratches, gouges, anything. Has a...

Selling the neck from my SX Jazz project. This is the vintage tinted maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Stock SX tuners are included. SX string tree has been replaced with Fender tree. If I need to post pics, I certainly can. $55 shipped. PayPal only, please.

Set of 4 chrome Hipshot HB-2 tuning machines. Brand new and never installed, and come with all hardware. $65 shipped to US 48. PayPal only, please.

Wasn't sure if this should go in here or in the LC, if someone thinks it needs to be moved I will not be offended. That said, I'm thinking about starting a custom Warmoth project. I'm thinking a mahogany Les Paul body with quilt maple top, finished in fireburst with white binding (like the...

I've never heard of it (which doesn't mean much), but there is an Ampeg cab in my local Craigslist that is supposed to be a 4x10 + 1x12. Anyone have any info on this at all? It needs a new speaker according to the ad, but it's priced very well.

Selling neck from my SX Jazz project. This is the vintage tinted maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Tuners are stock SX and are included. I've removed the terrible SX string tree and replaced it with one from Fender. Will post pics as soon as I find time. Would like to get $60 shipped...

Set of 4 chrome Hipshot HB-2 tuning machines. I bought them a couple of weeks back to hold onto until I started my Warmoth build, but I could use the cash more now. These are brand new and never installed, and come with all hardware. I'm asking what I paid; $70 shipped to US 48. PayPal...

I should have realized that when I joined my first band back in November, it would eventually come to this... but I'm nervous as heck! I've read through all the "tips" threads so (I hope) I know what to do. We've got a very busy day tomorrow! At 2p, we're going to be playing on a trailer in a...

I was just wondering if anybody besides AMS has those easy payment type plans, where they will take payments over a couple of months without you having to apply for a store credit card.

I never thought I'd sell this one, but here she is. I'm just not playing it as much as I once was. 1983 Peavey T-40, sort of transparent-y burgundy with maple board. Most of these are either black or natural, apparently. I've never seen another one this color, but that doesn't really...

Squier Deluxe Active V Jazz. Almost zero playing time. I bought it due to a severe case of GAS and have since learned 5 strings aren't for me at this point in my playing career. No dents, dings, blemishes, etc. This is essentially new. Road Runner hard case is included. $250 shipped to...

2006 Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass, Made in Mexico. No dents, dings, scratches, or anything like that. It hasn't left my house since I've owned it. Color is Blizzard Pearl, fretboard is Rosewood. Three ply parchment pick guard. Will ship in a Fender commemorative 60th Anniversary...

Now comes the fun part! + + Gotoh 201, custom nut, wiring kit, Fender American pups (longer Custom Shop 60's), and hardware = cool? I guess we'll find out...

Yorkville 410 for sale. I purchased this a while back, used, from Guitar Center. Carpet and grille are both in good shape. It sounds and works fine, however every once in a while there is a static-y sound coming from one of the speakers. I do not know if it's from the input jack being loose...

Ashdown MAG 300 head for sale. About a year old, never left my house. No issues, I just don't need it since I've gotten my VB-2. Loud and reliable, 307w @ 4 ohms. Will post pics soon. Specs can be found on Ashdown's website. (Please note mine isn't the EVO II version - I'm not sure what...

Which would you choose, and why? Music style is mostly classic rock, amp is Peavey VB-2.

I got this around a month ago to see how I liked fretless. I'm sort of warming up to it, but I need the cash right now. Here's where I bought it. The missing pick guard screws have been replaced, and I've strung it up with the flats that were included. No case but I will nab some boxes...

1976 Fender Precision Bass. As far as I know, it's all original. I'm sure if something doesn't look right you guys will point it out; this place knows a lot more than I do! Includes OHSC (kind of dirty and a little beat up, but it's there!). A few small dings, scratches, and some larger ones...

Epiphone Thunderbird for sale, $200 shipped to US 48. Paypal only. No issues, it just doesn't get played. No scratches/dents/dings that I can find. If any other pics are needed please PM and I will post them. Thanks for looking!

Would like to trade either or both basses, not totally sure what I'm looking for so just run stuff by me (I'm pretty sure I'm a fretted 4 string player from now on). I'd really like to get a decent 8 ohm cab, but I realize I may not have enough value here to do much. My camera is at the...

Howdy folks, I'd like to pick up new cabs sometime soon and I don't know where to start my search. I'm going from an Ashdown MAG 300 head to a Peavey VB-2, so I now have the ability go go down to 2 ohms and I'm really ready to explore some different options with speaker cabs. Where to start...

I'm looking for some input from folks on these two amps, hopefully from someone who has played or owned both. I haven't been able to locate either of these near me yet, so I don't have the option of playing them myself. Sorry if this has been covered a lot before, me and the search function...

Would it be possible to use an automotive type paint on a bass? I had some touch up work to do to my car and have some leftover, I was thinking an Ice Blue Metallic SX Jazz would be fun. What type of prep am I looking at?

I know there are a lot of good feelings about the new Acoustic amps, I was just wondering if everyone felt the same way about the cabs. I've currently got an Ashdown MAG 300 head and Yorkville 410 cab, was thinking about adding an Acoustic 115. Can anybody give me some feedback on the new...

Anybody have kind (or not so kind) words to say about Yorkville cabs? The story goes like this: I've been saving for a decent amp, but got a case of GAS and bought a bass with some of the savings. Now I'm limited to the dough I can spend on an amp, so I'm trying to go budget-minded. I...

Trying to start playing with some friends from work, and it's pretty clear my 35w Peavey won't cut it with a drummer and a couple guitars. I'd like to get something that won't need to be upgraded again for a while. I know my best value will be in used gear, but I've got a bud that works at...

I'm trying to get back into playing after a few years away. I never really learned very much the first go round, but I feel like I'm at about the same point where I stopped before, and want to actually progress this time. I know how to read music (slowly), I know notes, I'm familiar with the...

Greetings from the Gulf Coast! Once upon a time I played a little (very little), but got away from it for a few years. Recently discovered that my Yamaha RBX1000 that I "loaned" to a friend was "stolen" so I just picked up a Peavey T-40 ($80 - SCORE!) from a buddy in the pawn business. Hope...
