I've always wanted a fretless but already having 3 four string basses and being on a budget I wasn't able to buy one. So I decided to convert my first bass I into one. It was an Ibanez GSR100, metallic silver finish. I've been working in a cabinet shop for several months now and so I have access...

After sadly selling my Warwick Thumb 6 to help family with bills, I finally managed to use the remainder to get a new 6 string! Used off ebay for an amazing deal! ($375) Included the case too for extra shipping. The action is superb, beautiful neck, and great condition all...

So I did this to my squire the other day... And I'm getting a high pitch noise when I put power through the wire and have my bass plugged in to the amp. I know the noise is typical with the wire on it's own, but how can I stop the pickups from picking up the interference? A friend said...

I've got two pedals I don't use anymore and I'm trying to get money to put towards my dubstep stuff. The SB7 bass synth I bought new from musiciansfriend.com about 4 years ago and it's seen very light use. The DE7 delay/echo I bought used from GC about 8 months ago. Very light use on my...

I'm trying to figure out exactly which pedals I need for the sound I want without getting the expensive ones because that's what everyone else uses. i.e. getting a simple fuzz rather than a top of the line distortion. I've gone through a few purchases and trades that looking back I think I...

I bought a soundblox (1, not pro) multiwave bass distortion from a fellow TBer, tried it out a little bit and it was great. But later I moved everything back to my room to play some more and the pedal didn't power on at all when plugged in. The power supply I used works with every other pedal I...

I feel kind of bad selling this because I just bought this off someone here last week. Everything about it is fine it just turns out it was exactly what I thought I was looking for, not what I actually needed. It was literally brand new, used briefly by me now. If I wipe off the fingerprints...

I've been a Primus fan for several years now and have wanted a CT ever since, but too expensive. (original story huh? i know) Well I recently found a guy on youtube who plays in a Primus cover band and has reproductions of Les's basses. I checked out Adam Stones website and was surprised to...

Need some advice on whether or not to sell my vehicle for another. My dad bought a used '97 toyota 4runner about 14 years ago, we lent it out to some "friends" who ended up keeping it for around 4-5 years, then we lent it stupidly to another "friend" who kept it for around a 1 1/2 - 2 years...

When I watch pros like Victor Wooten or anyone really for that matter I see them bending and popping strings with no effort like the strings are butter. While I have a very hard time with this. I could never develop the double thumb or double or triple plucking techniques because my strings...

Snagged a deal on a used Tune TWB43 today! Icouldn't pass this one up, it was only $300! It won't arrive for a few days but heres the GC pic for now. :D

Hey guys back when I was working for Lowes, I came across a Yamaha B100-115 bass amp just sitting by the trash can, so naturally I picked it up and brought it home! It looks fairly old, and it's missing a wheel. I tried plugging it in and it turns on but when I tried to play through it nothing...

So since GC sold the used Tune TWX52SP that I was looking at even after I sent them an email. :mad: I've had to look elsewhere. Anyways, I've always been fond of Ibanez but I'm torn between that and an ESP. Now I wrote down the pros (to me) for both and gave each a 1-5 value. The esp came up to...

After hearing alot of good things about rotosound I decided to get me a set. Now before I ask the question I know alot of you will say yes just because of what I already have on my bass, but hear me out. I've got dean markley blue steels on and they've actually worked ok for me, actually the...

Don't know if there is anyone here that will know but I have to try. Ok so here's the situation: I'm playing borderlands and I start getting these achievements that don't show up anywhere. Like I'll get one that's called "Made In Fyrestone" worth I think 5G, everytime I complete any quest. And...

I've recently aquired a warwick thumb 6 bo off ebay and I'm very happy with it but it seems to have a problem with the input jack. The seller never mentioned this problem btw. No matter what cable I put in it, it cuts out when the cable shifts with almost any movement. I've looked inside and...

http://cgi.ebay.com/WASHBURN-VERY-RARE-ZEBRA-6-STRING-BASS-POWERFUL-/200570306176?pt=Guitar&hash=item2eb2ebfe80 Is there a reason this isn't selling? Its been on ebay for months now and I'm starting to suspect maybe it isn't a good buy? I've been saving up for a 6 string and I'm pretty set on...

I've been doing some searching/research here on Antonio Tsai's basses and from what I gather is that they are decent. Sure they may need some work but in the end I think it's worth it. Another thing I noticed is that besides most the gripe with them is on the hollow bodies, they are all made...

Just to get it out there, I'm not very savy when it comes to amps, so bear with me. I want to eventually buy and ashdown mag 410 and a mag 115 but I'm not sure what head to get. Brand does not concern me too much just as long as it's cheap. I'll will be purchasing the 410 first and I currently...

My friend's graduation party is coming up in june and he's been wanting one of those bass (drum) pedals that hit twice with one step. If you know what I'm talking about, could you tell me what would be a good reliable brand? Thanks!

I know next to nothing when it comes to electricity so bear with me. The other day my mom was blowdrying her hair when suddenly the power stoped working to that outlet. We soon discovered that the outlets to the adjacent room stopped working as well. What might be the problem?

I recently watched a short interview with Mark King and something he said got me thinking. He was asked what tips,ect. he had for begining bassists and such, and one thing he said was to get the best bass you can get. That it will really change your tone, playability, and make it much more...

When I don't have a job and nothing in savings this happens! And it will certainly be sold well beofre I can manage to come up with any sum of cash. WHY?!?!?!?! Well I hope it goes to a good owner!:mad::spit:

Ok guys so my grandma is here visiting and my mom told me she wants to buy me something and asked her to suggest something but she didn't know what and asked me. So I told her I really want a six string bass. Now, I don't know how much my grandma is willing to pay or if she'll even buy a bass...

Hey guys I need some info here about a digital camera. I'm going to comic-con the 22nd so I need a camera soon! I had a question about the Canon PowerShot A1100IS. My question is, can you just take a quick picture or do you have to hold it incredibly still otherwise it will come out blurry...

I'm curious, does anyone know where I might find masks similar to those worn by the great Les Claypool? Particularly those worn in the Red State Girl and Boonevill Stomp videos. (I know Les doesn't where one in those but I like them anyways.:smug:) I did find the elvis mask on ebay once but...

I've been thinking about in the future, getting an Ashodown BlueLine 1x15 and putting an Ashdown BlueLine 4x10 on top. Not sure what head yet but doesn't matter yet anyway.:smug: I'm sure it will be a good investment as I have heard some good things about Ashdown here and not so good things...

I had a thought awhile back to make a strange 3 string bass that was tuned to all one key. i.e. D-D-D (Drop D, normal D, and high D) How would this play? Not really sure, just thought it would be interesting and different. Thoughts?

I did a search and didn't find anything that answered my question. I've been seeing these davison basses on ebay and they look really good. But a little too good for the price. The seller has really good feed apperantly but I don't know. Does anyone have any experience with this seller and...

Not really sure where I should put this. (sorry!:hiding:) So since I descided to keep my first bass, I want to make some major changes to it and I have some questions. Now this isn't the exact same bass but close to it...

So I'm thinking about aplying for a job at my local BestBuy since I recently found out they now have practically a guitarcenter in there. My question to you is: What do I need to know? Like all the technical stuff on amps and pickups and the like? Or can I just be somewhat familliar with...

I've seen several sites with people talking about how much they love Flo and there seems to be quite a following, of which I am unofficially part of. I would like to start my own club for the lovers of Flo. So if you've seen the commercials, you have that strange attraction to her, and...

Hello all! I guess this belongs here. Being the big fan of Les Claypool that I am and my appreciation for strange things and such, I have decided to build a whamola. I'll be heading off to lowes today for some supplies and I think I know all I need but I have a question about a pickup. I was...

Hey guys, I'm going to a friends house with a few friends to jam tomorrow and I'd like this question answered by 11:30 tomorrow please. One of my guitarist buddies was saying that you can combine some amps. I have a GK Goldline 2x10 cab with a GK Backline 250 head and a Crate 1x10 practice...

I know this is like the third thread I've started about buying a bass but here I go again... In the distant future, I would really love to buy a Schecter. My questions to you are: (1) Four or six string? - I currently have one four string, squire P but will have a custom four later. Shall...

I was jamming with a blues player friend of mine and after he left I got to thinking about something, every time I play with him I gotta tune down a half-step which is fine but it'd be easier if I had another bass already tuned down. So I already have my first bass but I'm picky. There's...

I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find (online) tailcoats for under $200. I know they're tuxes and are going to be pricey but I don't want to spent that much if I don't have to. There isn't really a special occasion or anything just me and a friend want one. We like to be...

Ok so I got the crazy idea a few minutes ago that it would be really cool to have an 8 (or more) string bass. I mean 8 seperate strings not an octave bass. I looked at conklin basses and they are well out of my price range as is elrick. My question to you is, can I find an 8 string bass under...

Ok so here in the next few weeks I'm going to get a job and when I do I want to buy a new pick guard, strings and pickups for my black squire p-bass. My question to you is which of the following do you like better? EMG pickups-red pearloid pg-black DR strings...

It's going to be awhile 'cause we still don't have a full band as of yet but when we do and we start playin' gigs and stuff which cab do you think would be better? Right now I'm using a GK 2x10 GLX I'm looking to add either a GK 1x15 or 4x10. I like the look of the 4x10 better but as far...
