Hi, I was wondering if a "supporting member" status expires after a certain amount of time. It's been a while since I last donated, but I'm not shown as a supporting member anymore.. I'd have to go digging through some bank records to find it, but somwhere in there I contributed back to this...

A couple years ago I was posting around the forums when I was in search for my bass (which incidentally I ended up buying a Schecter 5'er from a member here on TB!). During that time I was visiting all the local music shops and had decided to try every bass on the wall, regardless of whether it...

Yesterday I was doing some work in my room and was moving some things around. I accidentally caused a surge protector to slide off the shelf it was on and it landed right on my Schecter 5'er giving it its first official dent.. :hmm: Later on in the evening I decided to sit down with the bass...

I got a friends request on myspace the other day.. It was from this guy I knew and haven't seen or heard from in close to 12 years.. I've had ups and downs with this person and we used to be roommates close to 16 years ago.. I have a lot of mixed feelings about accepting him back in my life...

This morning I was reading "whats the greatest pain you've suffered thread" and posted about my sciatic pain and that I was going to get a hold of the doctor today for another refill on vicodin.. Well I just called his office and was informed that he's passed away.. I'm shocked.. I just saw...

It's been a busy week for me, not to mention that my back went out on the day that I went over to pick this amp up.. I've been having sciatic pain all week.. :hmm::crying: Anyways, I did pick up the Ashdown for 275$ at the garage sale last weekend, and so far I just love love love it combined...

This is available right now at a garage sale down the street from where I live. The guy wants $275 for it.. Is this something I should jump on? He says it's in perfect working order.. I would definitely play my bass through it before any purchases though.. Thanks for any help/suggestions...

And sticker! I noticed the little advert in the Bass Player magazine to go to the Human Base website and enter to win a free t-shirt, so I did.. That was about two weeks ago. On Wednesday when I got home from work there was a package waiting for me that contained one black t-shirt with the...

I thought this played at the end of Tavis Smily, which is what my roommate told me she was watching when I heard the bassline the first time.. I came to find out that it wasn't Tavis at all, but actually was the music that plays during the credits of Charlie Rose.. Anyhow, I managed to get a...

I never get tired of making these kinds of images! Invalid Link Removed

I don't watch Tavis on a regular basis, but sometimes catch a bit of his show late at night.. One thing that always stands out to me is the super fat bass line in the closing credits.. Have any of you heard this bassline I'm talking about? Kinda jazzy, kinda funky, and a sweet sounding bass with...

After posting This Thread the other day I ended up speaking with Corey Oliver from Traveler Guitars(& basses), who suggested that I get back into GC ASAP and buy the MK-II bass for the $299 price and then ship it to him for repairs under the 3 year warranty which it comes with. He was surprised...

Mismarked Pricetag content!! I mentioned the other day that I wanted a Traveler MK-II Escape Bass to tote around with me for practicing. Mainly because it's so small and lightweight, plus you can plug earphones into it or switch over and use an amp if you so choose. At that time I had not...

Just a curious twist to the notorious thread of Squier vs. Fender.. Basically, if you have a squier body that you really like, say my ProTone for instance, at what point can it be called a Fender (if at all..) from modding it? I saw a nice Fender neck for 100$ earlier and it made me think...

I noticed one of these yesterday for the first time while I was over at GC.. They were off in a remote corner by the acoustic guitars which is why I never noticed before.. The one in the picture above is slightly different than what was at GC. The one at GC had a lightweight metal extension bar...

I thought this is a great deal for $170 and would be a perfect setup for my friend to begin with: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] However he doesn't have the funds to buy anything right now, AND he doesn't feel like riding as a passenger to Burbank to test this bass out.. Lazy Fool.. :hmm...

This was copied from a Craigslist add: 1978 fender musicmaster bass. great shape. great tone. plays great. email your number and any possible trades... a steal at this price, no low ballers. $499 Was wondering what the reputation of these basses is? The guy mentions that he might...

Really didn't mean to offend with the comment I made, which if you read it then you know what I'm referring to.. I had no intention of personalizing my comment with the mans wife. It was meant in jest, though in a raunchy way. I was motivated in part to carry a joke by Maki just a bit farther...

So.. I was just sitting on my balcony enjoying the weather, watching as the marine layer (as we call it here in So. CA) is breaking up and the sun is starting to shine through. It's going to be a nice day, a bike ride is in order! However, back to the point.. I'm sitting on the balcony...

Since I regained interest in playing the bass and bought my Schecter in Dec 07, and then bought the Squier VMFJ last month I've had a growing desire to tear apart a bass down to its core, just because, for no major reason other than to learn more about my instrument.. I had never done this...

I'm not sure if this is a "Pro Tone" or not.. I could only find one matching image on the web for this exact bass.. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed The seller is asking $100 with a case, or $75 without.. I think the bass is really good looking, other than...

Hello, I've never posted in the amps section before. I did a search for this type of amp, but could not find the particular relevant information I need to know.. What I want to know is if this "[Invalid or Expired Link Removed](as listed)" is a good deal or not? I already own an Ampeg...

As of today this is my new family! They're not super high end basses or anything, but I like them and am happy with them. For now anyways!!

I've just made arrangements to go check out one of these on Thursday morning. I found it on CL and offered 175$ for it. The owner has this to say about it: I played one of these at a pawn shop and liked it. However it had fretboard damage from roundwound strings being scratched across...

Does anyone here own one of these? Does the thing even sound/feel decent? Can it be upgraded with better pickups, etc.? Or is it really just a toy with 4 strings on it? Buy it now for $159.00 on Ebay: Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed That thing looks like it would...

There's not a very high chance that I'll be able to get this bass so I don't mind sharing the link to it.. I'm wondering if it's authentic or not, or if there's something I should be looking out for considering the price it's being offered at.. I would obviously want to see it in person before...

My friend just turned me on to Invalid Link Removed last night and I've got to say that I'm really impressed with the work they've put into the whole atmosphere of animated oddities intermingling with cosmic dub samples! I did do a search on Talkbass to see if this site had been brought up...

I've been having different back problems since I was in my teens, but a few years ago I had a bad snowboarding fall and did some REAL damage.. Since that wreck it's been pretty common for me to pull my lower back and be in severe pain for days from doing things like bending over, or lifting, or...

I went up to GC today to pick up some earphones and while I was there I inquired how much a set of flatwounds would be for my 5 string.. They told me that they only had sets of flatwounds for 4 string basses and that "I'd have to probably contact the manufacturer" to get a set of flatwounds...

I did a search before posting this thread and didn't see anything particulary relevant to this specific item.. There were a couple of threads talking about blisters (and using mole skin to treat/prevent them). I was wondering if any bassist's out there have ever tried using these things below...

I've been going up to the Guitar Center in West LA many times in the last month or two.. I've been in Sam Ash and the GC up in Hollywood once each.. I'm not really fond of the Hollywood GC, not enough privacy while testing basses, and too many sales vultures on my back to boot.. I'm wondering...

I posted earlier that I bought a BA115 used for $250. I'm not sure if I mentioned that I don't even have a bass yet... People on here basically convinced me to buy used and I had tried the BA115 at GC and liked it.. When I saw it used for $250 I decided not to wait, the bass will come soon...

Only slightly used. Good deal yes? Or nothing special?

For the last couple of months I've been lurking around this board and making a post or two here and there.. The discussion taking place here has been helping me form an idea of what I need in a bass for it to suit my needs.. At least to some degree, still a bit lost in some areas though...

Hello, I've posted before requesting opinions on a good rig setup for reggae and deep bass/dub sound. Since that original post I have spent roughly 6 to 10 hours up at GC and one other store feeling out different basses.. I feel like I'm just about ready to make a purchase, but am hoping for...

Forgive me if I'm asking advice in the wrong area of the forum, I'm new here and amateur in music as well.. If there is a better place to discuss this then let me know and I'll move my post over. I currently own no gear at all but have minor past experience with two different bass guitars...

This was an accidental post.. Please refer to This Thread for the real one. Thank you!
