    TecAmp Dream Buzz Deluxe

    When I was in at F-Bass headquarters to pick up my BN5, I spied the TecAmp Dream Buzz Deluxe pedal as George now distributes this line in Canada. Having seen very little online about it, I arranged some time last night to check this pedal out... It's a very nice, very polite Big Muff clone...

    New Bass Day F Bass BN5

    Given that I live, literally, 5 minutes from F Bass' factory and showroom in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, I have been trying to avoid the wiles of Mr. Furlanetto's wares. However last year, when I hosted Trip Wamsley for a house concert and visit to Toronto, a trip to the factory was in order...

    Replacement for Bartolini MK2 6-String pickups

    Hi there, I own an Ibanez BTB 676 which is my main bass for solo gigs and am becoming increasingly unhappy with the sound of the stock Bart MK2 installed in it. I'm looking for replacement pickups that would require little to no routing/modification to the bass itself. Would any of the...

    Just-a-Nut Question for Warwick owners

    I am looking at a Warwick 5-string bass, however play a 5-string with a high C instead of the low B. How adjustable is the just-a-nut? Will it be able to accommodate the high C or do I have to get a new nut installed. Thanks in advance!

    It's alive!

    Now I've done it. I've had a big green Sovtek Big Muff that I love the tone of (particularly with my P-bass) this thing just kills with tone and gives that nice warm fuzz that annihilates any mix. However the darn thing was too big and I could not find an adapter that played well with it...

    Gibson T-bird

    I love my significant other! I dragged out my Candy Apple Red Epi Thunderbird, which I bought from Musicians Friend on a scratch and dent closeout for a steal to bash around and take to gigs where I don't trust the safety of my other instruments. S.O. made a comment that he preferred the...

    Finally Finished! Warmoth/Moses build

    A few months ago, I happened upon a beautiful P-bass body in the Warmoth Showcase. After a few days of waffling due to the fact that it was already pre-drilled for a Fender/Gotoh/Badass II bridge, I pulled the trigger and purchased it. Ash body with flame maple top, finished in "Tiger...

    Peavey TL-5

    I have a line on a used Peavey TL-5 for about $500 Canadian (works out to about $390 US). It looks to be in decent shape and plays pretty well. I love the fact that it's a neck through and it feels decent. Is there anything I should be looking out for with this instrument? Any issues...

    Fender Jazz V vs. Traben Chaos Core V

    Well folks, it's finally happened....I'm having to go 5 string for a gig and any passive basses that I've played sound awful in the lower register. I am therefore looking at purchasing an active 5 string.... Given my current budget and lack of willingness to invest in an expensive bass as I...

    Just made a wicked deal!

    At Christmas time, my parents bought me an Ibanez SR-505 that they found on one of the forums they frequent online. A nice guitar but a) I don't like the string spacing (it's too narrow) and b) I'm not a fan of active electronics (at least if a passive bass sounds crappy, I know it's ME and...
