I’ll be flying from Northwest Florida to Rancho Mission Viejo, CA with an Elton John Tribute show for a one-and-done on 7/1/2023 and I’d rather not fly my bass. Don’t have a really good ATA case, aside from this gig I never fly with my basses so it would certainly be a waste of money. Don’t want...

Serial number YJ 1904 dates it to October 1985. Don't let the age fool you. All that stuff you've heard about a Ric holding its tuning forever? It's true with this one. Ric only makes a run of the 4003 in a white finish every once in awhile. I priced it based on age + rarity of finish. I'm...

I've never seen this picture before. I can't even begin to explain the emotion I get looking at this. But I'll try: These are not mortal men. As a believer in the One True God, I know not to deify human beings, but these are not simply men. In a more Natural sense, these beings are more like a...

For reference, I'm in Colorado, Metro Denver. I recently purchased a gently used Vox Phantom clone (the five-sided offset body style they sell at Phantomworks). This is actually my second Phantomworks bass; I also have a gently used Teardrop. I love both of these basses and they really scratch...

I'm starting here on TB because our membership seems to be both knowledgeable about a plethora of subjects and brutally honest, and because Geddy Lee is one of our perennial bass heroes. I'll turn to an autograph specialist/professional maybe after you guys and gals weigh in. Initially, I trust...

"consistent low-range modulator"? It's true. In the video below, the introduction to the band and the song is fascinating. This is live American television, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, circa 1967. For emphasis: Live, not pre-recorded or mimed.

Wow, someone is getting clever and tapping our market. Bass Player tshirt

Okay, if I was in a band where tees were acceptable, and maybe something a little darker and edgier than my current dance party show band, I would DEFINITELY rock this tee. If I can bring some cool and class to the tee shirt-wearing TB brethren, I would encourage this: Invalid Link Removed

Okay, I don't often start threads, but because some of my TB fellow members are either funny as hell, insightful, or some combination of the two, I had to share and solicit responses. Invalid Link Removed Enlighten me. What is up with the "emotional support animal" trend (as it is being...

Folks, we're safe. The Matrix is a long, long way off. Invalid Link Removed Sounds to me like a bunch of Beatles cliches tossed in a blender and unceremoniously and randomly spewed forth, and A.I. obviously hasn't even mastered the simple concept of the A-B-C or verse/chorus/bridge structure...

Mods, I'm trying not to break any TB rules, but I found this compelling. Qualifiers: I have no affiliation with this eBay listing whatsoever, and the only reason I post is I found the detailed and historical description and authentication process, and the people involved, so interesting and...

I did a quick search, couldn't find anything about whether or not Reverbnation has any merits or benefits specifically for cover bands. I've always thought of it as a good tool for originals acts. I was just sprucing up our web site and FB page, which are professional, fairly well developed...

Journey's Neal Schon on Rock Hall, Possible Steve Perry Reunion Considering that, even without Steve Perry, Journey with Arnel still sounds a hell of a lot like the Journey I grew up listening to, this would be very interesting indeed.

I sometimes sub on guitar for a local Top 40 cover band. Last gig, bass player shows up with the Markbass Ninja 1000w head and 2x12 cab. Outdoor show. Loudest, cleanest, fullest tone I've heard from a 2x12 combo ever. Plenty of head room, and with a 7-piece horn band (two guitars and keys)...

...when the lead singer of Slipknot makes it an issue. Slipknot's Corey Taylor slaps phone out of fan's hand

What's your take on this? In my residential neighborhood there is a tight curve. Speed limit 25, but people routinely go way too fast. I always drive at or below the speed limit. I round this curve at dusk today and there are around 9-10 small children playing in the middle of the street. On...

Who's a fan of this 'toon? Okay, I'm 56 years old, been watching cartoons since 1959, and this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Just watched the episode where Whit, Clay, and Barf break into Officer Barry's pool in the middle of the night and create the whirlpool of death. I...

Sheesh, do I have to ask ALL my band-management questions on TB? I researched this and the results were every bit as lame as the actual "band bios" I read on band websites. So once again I turn to the under-appreciated wisdom of the bass players of the world. I want to post up some...

I know a good band in the Denver/Metro area looking for a fretted five-string player who can do finger style, slap n pop, and a little pick style for good measure, Top 40 Variety dance funk pop rock maybe a smidge of country, variety. PM me, thanks.

Those of you who are in successful pop/rock/dance cover bands, and who have held auditions for a female lead vocal, or you already have a talented, versatile female lead vocalist, please tell me the three audition songs where you thought, or would think, "If she can handle these well, she can...

Lots of new blood on TB, so I'd like to resurrect a topic that may have been discussed in the past. I'm taking the dive. I have been joining "established" bands for decades. I have yet to start one. It's way over-due, and if you understood my luck, you'd fully agree. I've seen so many...

I'm using a pick and doing a lot of palm muting these days (Elton John tribute project, channeling Dee Murray). Standard Fender bridge with set screws on the saddle pieces. A couple set screws are just high enough to dig into my palm and they're causing an abrasion. This was never a concern...

What should I expect with this pairing? Compatible? Markbass LMT 800 with wattage ratings for 4 or 8 ohms, but the cab is a Markbass 106HF rated at 6 ohms. It has not been tested, this is purely theoretical at this point. I've never encountered this before, your help and advice is greatly...

Marvin Gaye & James Jamerson: “What’s Going On” Isolated Vocals and Bass

She's in great shape. Has been gigged, but handled with care and never abused or overdriven. 8 ohms. Attenuable tweeter (knob on back). I usually combined it with another 8 ohm cab and ran 4 ohms 500 watts, but it also sounds great when I run my LMIII at 350 watts into it solo. Everything...

Okay, I will tell you right up front, I think the whole Facebook thing can get a little weird. I know it has its virtues, but sometimes, I think it has created a new social paradigm and "virtual network" of "friends" that has little to do with the traditional definition of friendship, or at...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any helpful replies. 38-year bass vet, kinda new to fretless bass, but I'm coming along quickly. I have a MIM Fender Jazz 4 string fretless, RW board, and I have used my experience with setting up fretted instruments to dial in the best I can on this bass, but...

I bought this with the intention of upgrading a Squier. After I set up the Squier, I no longer found it necessary, so here is a brand new MIM Standard pickguard with split-p pickup, wiring, volume/tone pots and knobs, and output jack. As new, still has plastic and sticker on it. No pickguard...

$200.00 OBO shipped CONUS only. I am reluctantly parting ways with this 80's gem. This is the exact model as my first serious bass. I sold that one when I was young and dumb and after it had served me very well as a budding pro player. Then, in my later sentimental years, I tracked down this...

What's your band's routine or shtick when a club patron and their party is celebrating a birthday? How do you recognize them and make their evening special? I've done a couple of different things in previous bands that were very clever and succesful. We're now throwing some ideas around in my...

ABG As seen here http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/takamine-eg512c-acoustic-electric-bass A few years ago, I felt I needed an A/E bass, so I shopped and shopped to find something that was (A) affordable and (B) didn't sound like dookie. It's a tall order in the A/E bass world, but this one...

SOLD! I wound up with three Eastwood Classic IV basses because I am a sucker for a bass that is the whole package and they look badass in my retro vintage country outfit. But alas, now I must sell one and restore some of my cash and sanity. My loss, your gain. Reluctantly, I have decided...

SOLD! This is painful, as I hate selling off perfectly good guitars. I hope someone who loves Rics will pick this up and give it the love and attention it deserves. Built Week 25 of 2002, relatively rare Turquoise Rickenbacker 4003 all original in original hardshell case. First $1,600.00...

Thinning the herd. How I hate to sell off perfectly good basses, these will be missed. Both are great players made with quality parts, no unpleasant surprises. I've gigged them both (always in smoke-free environments, no funny smells here). Any bumps or scratches are minor and were there when...

...from shoulder height, in the middle of the road. The douche was talking on his cell phone, so he one-hands it up onto his shoulder, and as he's crossing the street toward my front porch, it slips and falls about 5.5 feet from shoulder height to the pavement below. Fortunately it was packed...
