    For Sale/Trade Ampeg SVT-450

    Super clean SVT-450 for sale/trade. I already had multiple amps when I traded for this and I decided to hold on to my Eden for the form factor. Super solid amp---I gigged with a friends for years and it was great; this one hasn't left my home (and apparently didn't leave the home of it's first...

    SOLD RotoSound R77S Short Scale - Never Played

    I bought these a while ago thinking I had just picked up a cheap short scale bass. I...had not. They didn't "fit" so I didn't ever actually use them. Looking to trade for some 34" scale flats. Preferably NOT Rotosound---I've only ever used them and it's past time I branched out.

    American Precision Deluxe + Bill Lawrence = Remove preamp?

    I have a Bill Lawrence P-46 and J-45 to install in my American Precision Deluxe. I've been debating about the best way to do it. I think I want to just remove the preamp with the old pickups. I sort of like having it, but I also like the idea of a simple, passive circuit with just two knobs and...

    Bass Related Iphone Wallpaper

    Does anyone have a source for bass/music related iphone wallpaper/have some they want to share. I'm tired of my current wallpaper and want something different...but as far as I know there is no secret repository of bass wallpaper on the internet. If there isn't, lets create one in this thread...

    tune B string to D/E

    I play an American Deluxe P Bass and I love tension a whole lot. I am playing in an emo-revival-ish band that has a few moments/songs that are pretty much pop-punk. Fast, picked passages where I'm going to be excited and digging i. I'm going to have to be in at least drop D, and the singers...

    Westone pickup replacement

    I purchased a Westone Spectrum ST for $40. It needs a new pickup. They guy told me it needed one, I was hoping it was just a disconnected wire or something, but I wired the pickup straight to the jack and still got nothing. I'm having trouble identifying what size pickup I need to replace it...

    Corelli 370M w/long E

    I have a set of Corelli 370M s with a long E. I got the G, D, and A used, but the E is almost brand new. I am mainly looking to trade them for something interesting. Another set of strings (I'm in love with my Evah Pirazzi's and would love more), a bow case+some cash, a pickup, Geoff mic, an...

    FS/T - Corelli 370M set with long E - $95

    I have a used set of Corelli 370M's with a brand new long E (it was on my bass for less than a week.) The rest of the set I bought used and used them for less than a week (I think the guy said they had a few months worth of use on them.) I LOVED the set of 370's I had on my old bass but they...

    WTT for long E/set with a long E. Have Bel Cantos and a bow.

    I'm looking to trade for either a set or a single long E. I currently have a set of Bel Cantos with a long E on my bass...I need something brighter/a bit more pizzy/preferably something thinner with less tension too. I don't want full blown pizz strings---I just want something that cuts a bit...

    Yita CF French bow.

    I didn't buy this from the ebay...but I traded for it from the guy who did. This is his description I think it plays decently...its my first French bow and my second bow in general so I'm not really the best judge. I got it a month ago or so and have used it to practice since then...I just...

    Double Bass CL Bass Identification---flatback, hybrid?

    This bass has been on Craigslist in my area for awhile...the owner claims it is a hybrid (although he had never heard of the term---he just said it has a carved top). If it is worthwhile I could probably get it pretty cheap...I know about taking it a luthier along (I would probably ask if I can...

    Double Bass Up/Down bow notation question

    I have an instructor-he is in Europe until August. I just got my copy of Rabbath 1 in the mail a week or two ago and as I started working through it I realized that I don't really understand what is being called for with the up/down bow notation. On exercise 7 below I know to begin with a...

    Rabbath New Technique Volume 1

    Through an accident in ordering I have an extra copy of Rabbath 1. It is brand new...I flipped through it to make sure it contained the insert and the CD and then put it back in the envelope it shipped in. I'm going to try for $40 shipped since its brand new and they are $60 shipped from...

    Trade Feeler? American Standard #3003

    I am considering being willing to trade American Standard #3003 which needs repairs for a less valuable bass in working condition. (As a corollary, if you don't want to trade you could just drop your cheap, unused bass or EUB off at my house and I could keep it safe and broken in for you while I...

    Double Bass Squeaky tuners - - WD-40?

    The tuner for my A string makes squeaky/grindy noise when it is turned. It is also slightly more difficult to turn than any of my other tuners (which all work perfectly). Would a little WD-40 be likely to mess anything up? (Sorry for asking about something that seems pretty harmless---I'm...

    Double Bass DB Instuctors in the Atlanta area

    I've been trying pretty hard to find a DB instructor in my area. I'm brand new to DB but I play the guitar/bass guitar and understand standard notation but read it fast enough to use it much yet (working on it). I'm in Newnan---about 25 minutes south of the airport---but I can drive to...

    DR Legend flats

    They've been on my bass for exactly 7 days. No gigs, just a good bit of messing around in my apartment. Just not what I'm looking for. Would be willing to trade for a new-ish set of Chromes. $25 shipped

    FS/T Feeler: Series 10 Scroll Bass copy

    I got a P bass and that's all I ever play. So I don't use this very much anymore. Not sure the value...but I've never seen another one for sale so I'm not going to give it away super cheap. I'm interested in cash, french bows, and perhaps a bass cab---or maybe a backup P bass. If you had a...

    Open A string buzz on brand new MIA P-Bass.

    My parents bought me an MIA Deluxe P-Bass for my birthday. I've been getting it set up but no matter what I do there is always a buzz on the open A string. It isn't an action issue, the buzz doesn't happen on any of the other frets. It seems to be coming from the nut area---either the string...

    Double Bass Amateur neck repair?

    I bought a 1962 American Standard (serial 3003) in need of repair for $99 yesterday. There is a split right below where the neck meets the body. The neck can move a little without the bass moving. Its pretty clean and its only a centimeter ish across (if that). I have a woodworking friend...

    Samson SX 1800 details?

    I have a Samson SX 1800 with only one working channel. The back of my amp has two 1/4" outs, one speakon out, and two binding post outs. When I looked it up on samsontech.com the pdf user manual described an amp with two speakon and two binding post outs. I called Samson and confused a guy who...

    80's GK Rig of Doom

    Thought I would share my ridiculous and short-lived 80's style GK rig. The 4x12 cabinet has been ported and now has 2 Delta 12-LFC's in it. I'm going to replace the 15 eventually. Unfortunately, the rig got a whole lot less awesome when the 800RB blew up a couple of weeks ago...

    Epifani UL2-212 vs diagonal T212

    I had an Epifani T212 (the diagonal one) a few years ago and I loved it a whole lot. I miss it all the time---there may or may not have been tears, its not important. I may be able to get myself a new cab in the near future and I found a new UL2-212 for $899 shipped. How do these cabinets...

    EVM 15b OEM (in a GK 115B cab) power rating?

    I purchased this cab recently and I've been hesitant to push it because I didn't know the power rating. Its 8 ohm and I'm using an 800rb so I'm not pushing some crazy 1000 watt amp...but I don't want to blow a speaker that could remain intact either. I finally got around to taking the cab...

    Cab Dimensions set---how to decide on speaker configuration?

    I have a sealed cab that I plan on re-purposing for use with a bass. From what I've read it will take a good bit of figuring and reconfiguring to get it to sound good. I'm posting this because I haven't found many resources online that are of any help to someone starting with a specific...

    Pink/Blue logo GK cab information.

    I know GK cabs get lots of flack around these parts...but I found an old 115b with that super awesome 80's looking logo and decided to go with a retro looking stack under my old 800rb. I may replace the driver eventually...it sounds pretty good for now except the low B...but I just restrung my...

    gk800 growl/bad volume knob question

    do all these silly little small cabs actually make low noises?

    I'm still working on my first bass rig: So far I have in my possession in a GK Backline 210 cab. (I know backline cabs suck...i'll upgrade later : ). I've got a deal with a guy for a GK 800RB..he's driving through my area on the 19th I'm picking it up then. My first instinct was to get...

    should i be patient or go for the cheap option?

    I've decided on a GK 800rb for my head. I'm getting it on the 19th. I'm picking up a GK backline 210 for $100 tomorrow. The question: Should I buy a backline 15 for $100...now. This would let me use all the power in my amp right now. (4 ohms total) However eventually I'm leaning...

    really cheap preamp?

    I have the a chance to get a decent power amp for pretty cheap. (I'm looking for a <$300 bass head). Does anybody make a cheap (<$75) rack mounted bass preamp? I like the idea of a power/preamp rack because I can upgrade just the preamp later and get something pretty nice. But I don't...
