Hi all, I'm looking for a practice amp, and saw a basic amp from Taylor that had a 12 inch EVA speaker in it. It was gently used, and looks about 10-15 years old. No frills - 5 band EQ, bass, treble, mid-range knobs, and a master volume/gain knob. I did not have the time to take it...

Anyone have one favorite book about bass instruction/music/history? In other wods, one complete book that does it all - looks at the bass guitar as an instrument, looks at some players, and looks at basic method/instruction?

I'm getting back into my basses after a while away, so my technical "chops" are rusty. I had my Fender Jazz (MIJ 1989) in for a set-up/intonation job. I also wanted the foam under the pickups changed, since I could not raise them. (Seems like the foam wore out.) The intonation is fine...

(I hope this is the right forum for this. If not, I'm sorry.) I had a lunch break to blow at Borders today, and I looked over their bass-oriented books. This looks like one of the best bass books out there, but I would appreciate some opinons from anyone here who has read it...

It's time to re-string my Epiphone Ripper bass, and I have to wonder if the brand of string is really all that important. The strings on the Ripper now are the ones it came with - Gibson strings, I would imagine. Medium gauge. I'm going to stick with the gauge, and I want to get a thick...

I'm new to multi-effects, having only used "stomp boxes" in the past (flanger, EQ, Bassballs, mainly). A local store is selling several multi-effects at what look like good prices. Zoom 506 II Bass pedal for $60 Digitech BP 50 for $70 Digitech bp 80 FOR $100 I did not have the...

Anyone ever play one of these? I saw one in a pawnshop. It had no strings, and while the owner sells strings, he seems uninterested in slapping a set on. I've always wanted to try one, and here I thought I'd have my chance. Alas.... What is the tone like on this model bass, and...

Anyone out there use/used one of these? I used one in the early 1980's and had some fun with it. I thought it had a unique, if sometimes cheesy sound. I don't think there has ever been a similar distortion pedal since (but I don't have a lot of experience with newer pedals, so I could be...

I bought a used Fender Jazz, and do not know what year it was made in. It is made in Japan, and the serial number starts with E85. I recall reading somewhere that with Fenders, the first two numbers of the serial number are the year in which he bass was made. Is this accurate? If...

Hi all, I have been out of the gear-fixing aspect of owning basses for a looooong time, and I couldn't find what I need by using the "search" function on this site. Here's what I need help with: The E string on my Epiphone Ripper sounds dead - it used to have nice ring to it, but now it...
