(edit) sorry I meant gay marriage.

Can anyone explain to me what this means? I was looking at the Bassman 300 and 100Ts and they state the "Vintage" channel has a "Fender classic" passive tone stack that "cuts" tone? Knobs go from 1-10 is 1 = to cut or 10 = to cut?

I put LaBella flats on an old jazz bass and must say they need a lot of muscle to maneuver. I've only tried the original '54 (these things are like re-bar) and Deep Talkn regs- although I must say they sound great I think my fingers need something with less tension. Jamerson must have had...

It took Warren Haynes a long time to find a suitable replacement for Woody, and Jorgen's the man! If you get to a Mule show one thing you'll be impressed with is his versatility. He excels at the P, the Bird and the Casady.

Had to start somewhere since the list would be long, the millennium sounds like a good place to start. Add a link so we can get to know them. Here's one: The Foals are crazy good, have a very unique sound and have been playing for over 7 years, yet unless your British you've probably...

We received a MB LMT-800 for our church and although I don't really like the tone that well it's all we have and beggars can't be choosy. We have an old Ampeg 410 that's on it last leg and I've recommend getting a 212. I've volunteered to buy it since I really want one and can use it for both...

Anyone catch the one day flick or the On Demand showing. Guess it's only going to be available for a month.

I need some advice: Just picked up an AVRI '62 Jazz and the Fender schematic and parts list say it has '62 american vintage jazz pickups. When I called Fender to check on the pickups in the CS '62 Jazz NOS they say they come with custom shop pickups. When I played my friends CS it sounded...

I've been gassing for a '62 Jazz for a while and unfortunately the only way to get one to HI is to order it state side. Besides the concentric vol/tone knobs are there any other peculiarities? I just dig the style and there a B-Stock available online now for $950.00 shipped which sounds pretty...

My mothernlaw bought a new computer and it came with a Norton 60 day trial. I have Macs so I no nothing about this stuff. Is Norton a good program? Is there something better on the market? I stop using PCs long ago so totally out of touch with this Microsoft stuff.

I was looking at these and wondering if there was any difference in quality between the old big box and the new XO? Are they voiced the same?

I read on a vintage post that the pickups on a jazz bass changed from the 70s to the 80s to the 2000s. Also, heard that the GL J has closer pickup spacing than a normal J bass. Is there anywhere that has the specs of the PU spacing? From the stock photos it looks like the different bridges...

Still look like respectable lads - haha. JP playing a telecaster and JPJ bring it on his Jazz.

Well I was pretty set on buying my buddies Jack Casady Epi than I had to go snooping around on eBay. I’ve always liked the old Epi Rivoli and didn’t think they’d be all that available, but of course, there they were - three on eBay. Should I stick with the JC or go for the Rivoli? I’ve never...

I've been eying a 4 String Thumb Bass for quite some time and can't come to grips dropping over 3Gs for the neck thru version. Being in HI you can image there aren't very many opportunities to play one. So I have to try and take the seller in the states work for what they're selling. Does the...

Is there such a thing out there? I'm playing through a GB 9.0 with their Neo 212. Not really getting the bluey notes I want through tweeking the EQ - is there a decent OD (not fuzz or distortion) out there to add some tubular color to this set up? I pefer a more low down bassy tone.

Just browsing and noticed this kid has almost 2M views!!! Crazy + he has uploaded almost 300 videos. Are you a member? Identify yourself!!:hyper: Way to go man and a pretty good slapper at that!

I bought this used from a reputable musician and it's finally starting to fade. The other night the main channel started to fade volume wise in and out. I switched over to one of single amps instead of the center bridge it performed fine the rest of the night. Once I got home I checked the...

I've finally liquidated enough stuff to purchase a new or used Fender Custom Shop P Bass. I've always admired these from afar and now I can splurge and own one. I have a few questions as a guarded consumer to ask advice on: 1. Is it the real deal? 2. Is the quality and workmanship A-1? 3...

Pretty interesting stuff - wish I had one of each. + didn't even know Fender made a hollowbody bass - that thing is beautiful. http://www.musicradar.com/news/bass/cool-and-classic-basses-508349

I was just wrapping up watching The Voice and wondering if any TBers blaze the stages of any of these singing, dancing or variety shows. With all the realities show on the networks these days there appears to be a few more opportunities then in the past. Anyone?

As you could imagine; trying to sell a bass in the islands is pretty rough. Just not enough interest. I'd probably turn old and grey if I tried to sell it locally on consignment. Anyway I may resort to parting it out - is this the right thing to do? From what I've seen in the Accessories...

I heard on our local classic station today that the London Olympic Organizers called The Who public relations people and asked if The Who with Keith Moon could close the Olympic festivities. R U Serious!

I can't find any recordings where I can clearly pick out the base chords for this song. The guitar music I picked up gives it a standard I-IV-V pattern in G. Is this correct for bass? Do I need to tune down? Anyone have the correct bass line? Thanks,

Invalid Link Removed Found the above link to an article on website's worth. Apparently Gearslutz and Picchfork are two of the more profitable sites - wonder where TB ranks. Plus neither of these sites charge a maintenance fee.

Has anyone noticed that the "Stickies" are getting pretty dated? I was looking through one today that was from 2002 - 10 years old? Do you really think that the technical data is still relevant? Let alone the equipment they were mentioning would either be in a Pawn shop or museum now! Hmmm, do...

I started searching for a legitimate recorder for experimentation and found the BR-864 locally for a decent price – I know this is an older version and probably doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the newer models (Nor the $$) but curious if it’s a decent machine for messing around...

I always get requests to record something: an effect, pattern, riff, etc. unfortuantely i've never thought I had the right equipment to do it simi-professionally. However, when I ear and see that people actually record through an effect/DI to the computer I'm baffled. I always thought I...

I read on the Fender forum that the HO is barely American. Is it true that the Fender hierarchy for Build Quality goes like this: 1. Custom Shop -select everything - total USA 2. Classic American Standard - leftovers from Custome Shop - mixed products - assembled in USA 3. American...

I've started developing arthritis at a young age and use to play a lot of sports, hence, alot of broken, disjointed, and torn ligaments in my hands. Now I’m beginning to suffer and my playing is really suffering. I can barely spread out enough to cover four frets anymore and sometimes my pinky...

Hey I'm a late bloomer to the bass world and have only been playing 3 years and didn't get started until i was 52. (you do the math =old) What I've always heard and been amazed at is the relationship between a bassist and his drummer. The connection, the vibe, the aura, the groove, whatever...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] One of the greatest bands started in 1969.

I don't use one but when I've seen a "stars" pedal board they all seem to have one or two on the board. I started looking them up on a few boutique sites and can't believe the cost. Aren't they just a simple amplifier circuit? What drive the cost up? I believe I saw one for over 300.00. Wow!!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Anybody remember this? I'm not really a dead head but somehow how ran across this picture. If you were lucky enough to attend one of their concerts when they were touring with this massive rig from 73-75 I'd like to hear your thought. Some of the comments...

I was wondering if there are any similarities between the two amps? The talk is always regarding the SVT tone but the VB-2's carried on a legacy as well. I remember when I was 13 all I wanted was a Peavey amp.

I was looking at the Sam Ash site and this bass popped up in their super Thankgiving sell for $169.00. Based on my experience with the other Squier lines this appears to be a killer price for a very unique looking Jaguar. Just curious what the TB masses think of this thing? Looks like it's...

I'm contemplating going from an Eden 410 to a GB Uber 212. Unfortunately in Kona there isn’t any GB 2x12s to be had so I'm going the bay way. Right now I've found a pretty good deal on an Uber 212 and free shipping to HI. Anyway what would be the sonic advantage a/ disadvantage of doing...

Any one have a good link or reference that explains the whole speakers, amp, sound and loud thang? I was reading the "are two 100W amps louder than a 200W amp post and still not tracking with the feedback. Actually, is there a chart that describes the folowing: Let's jst use 500hz as the...

People are complaining about the Osama killing which was done in an attack - it wasn't a firing squad so I don't understand the resistance. Plus he used and women to shield him - how cowardly for a big bad killer. But what puzzles me the most of all the historical events of war is how did...
