I picked up a Mayones Viking with an Aguilar OBP-3 and Bartolini 72M45C soapbars, not really thrilled with the tone coming out of these pickups. They are deep and warm, super boomy, with lots of low midrange. I prefer a more modern sound. This is my second Mayones, I absolutely love my first, a...

Thinking about switching out a 5 string with an EMG BTS 2b & EMG 40DC to Aguilar + Zens. Not really a fan of the EMGs, kind of sterile, woodsy sound. Looking for more punch/glassy tone. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, this site has been super useful to me in the past. So let's see if you folks can come through for me on this one. Last year I did a strip down and rebuild on a 2007 Fender US Precision Deluxe with the P/J pickup config. The stock preamp was overly mid-heavy and super aggressive...

I've been looking for a 5'er Dingwall for a couple of months, and finally pulled the trigger on a used bass on Reverb that was described pretty accurately (Very good condition) the seller attached a half dozen pictures and stated that there with just a few dings in the back of the neck otherwise...

I've got a 2007 MIA Deluxe P Bass in tobacco burst. I just gutted the body and have been looking to replace the stock pups and active electronics. It seems that finding a replacement dual coil jazz humbucker in the bridge position isn't as straightforward as I thought. I'll be refinishing the...

LOL, we get some good pics at our shows....This one stands out a tad. Edit: Jordan was her name and it was her 21st birthday. She specifically requested we play Bitch by Meredith Brooks which we obliged.... She was just a tad inebriated ya think? During our set breaks I put on my DJ hat and...

This is a first for me, having owned numerous bass cabinets over the years. At a gig Friday night, I smell the dreaded cooked electronics wafting from either my PA or my mini rig. At first I noticed the smell and the loss of stage volume... I step out and the mains are still working, yet I...

We booked a private party, under these circumstances. Client Googles "Tampa cover band", finds us. Checks out our schedule on our website,. Client then goes into stealth mode and checks us out a venue we are playing. The following day, she calls us and books us for her husbands 50th birthday...

I'm actual a tad nervous....we were hired to play as entertainment at the Buccaneers NFL home opener and three more home games this season. This gig is putting us into some uncharted territory. It's good visibility for the band, decent money, and playing from 1 to 4pm is a breeze. My only...

So, we are getting the band better gigs, hooking up with a local talent booking agent has certainly helped us. This Sunday we are playing 1 to 3:30 pm prior to kickoff at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers home opening game. We have three additional home games on the books, with a potential for more if...

One last item to move. Picked this up from Ebay for a project jazz bass. Moving on to other things. Minimal use. 3-4 gigs tops. NOT a FENDER Part. Aftermarket. $75 OBO shipped.

Purchased these for a project bass. Minimal use. Paypal preferred $100 OBO shipped. Stacked control plate available as well. $80 shipped OBO Separate Thread.

Up for grabs. All original, tuners, strap tree, finish. I just don't have the patience to wait for the right body to come along. I picked this up as a whole bass off of CL about 6 months ago. Seller had it advertised as a fender USA Jazz 1989. Once I got it home and did the research/checked the...

This gig is turning out to be my favorite gig on our calendar. Good crowd, opening for hot chicks that take most of their clothes off. Win, win. Drop box NSFW warning. http://db.tt/7sQ9AhN6 Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but I had to share!

Hey hey TB. If anyone is interested in helping test a new facebook platform app, i just opened a public beta with limited features. The app is designed around managing your friend lists, events and groups. I use FB a lot for gig stuff, event promo, and really do not like the UI and the...

We have just started getting into having sponsors at our gigs. We got a one show commitment from Fireball whiskey at the local Quaker Steak and Lube for bike night on a Wednesday night. We played this gig on January 9th...to a jam packed bar, parking lot etc. This is the largest bike night in...

Anyone ever consider this? Apparently you can purchase FB Likes, YouTube views, Plus One's, Twitter(really?) Followers. Would you artificially inflate your so called reach, with the hope of looking bigger than you actually are? I'm not sure of how many venues actually look at this stuff...

Just added this one to the collection. Found it on CL and got it cheap. The guy selling it had it left to him from an uncle. He thought it was a late 80's Cordova. Neck is dated 1/21/83, neck plate serial V004XXX which makes the neck an early Fullerton re-issue. However I think the body is not...

15 Year old Nathalie Hernandez from Season 3 came out and did three songs with us. Pretty cool experience! We covered Let er Rip, Zombie, and Crazy little thing called love. She's a really cool and talented young singer. Lot's of fun, jamming with a semi famous local celeb and such a talented...

Up for grabs, I decided that I have no use whatsoever with 2500 watts of Ampeg Hybrid Tone. Great amp, but even at 20 lbs + compressor + rack power + gator case = 40 lbs or so. So I am slimming down to a Markbass, and 2x12 cabinet. Condsidering the places I play that just works. This amp...

This Chrome extension can auto scroll and auto select all your friends in just one click. If you use friends lists like me, this makes sending out your gig invites a snap. Are you clicking 300-400 names. Scrolling up and down to get everyone clicked... This extension takes care of that. It's...

Holy crap, last night was probably my worst gig ever. Bike night at Quaker Steak and Lube. 4-500 People in attendance. I agree to play and run sound as a sub for some good friends of ours band. We also have a sub guitarist, that i have never played with. We start on time and sound is on...

So we prop up our guitarist with an intro along the veins of the long lost younger Van Halen brother, Eric Van Halen. Here's a clip shot Thursday night. The guy that shot this was late getting the camera recording he missed the first 5 or 6 seconds and the intro but its worth a peek. :bassist...

Saw this guy rockin it last night. A first for me, never witnessed another bassist play their instrument like this.

A local player here in my area recently had 5 Les Paul's stolen from his house while he was gigging. A week later his drummer had his kit stolen along with the trailer he hauled it in. Unreal. I figured some of us can help spread the word. Take a look Link Removed and PLEASE help out with...

My latest meme, Its a rip with a twist to relate to the music industry

This one took the cake, it's my bar tab, the PYT bartender had no idea what my name was. So since I am 6'7" at 250 or so. I get this one. :p

Just mad props to Eric. Most certainly not a "guitard", here is a guy that gets to design and spec several prominent signature lines for Dean guitars. What a job right? We're so lucky to have him on board. He's the one actually playing the Mustaine VMNT A true gem. Invalid Link Removed

So this idea kind of hit me during some down time. We had been using an old beat up Rogers Drum Co. Tom Tom. upside down with a sheet of paper reading Tips taped to it. Well not being one to do something half assed I wanted to rig up something to draw attention to the tip 'jar'. I stripped...

So I lucked out in that my girlfriend/singer has a great connection with a pro lighting guy. He does work for ESPN, so major league experience. Well the other day he brings us some gear we can use on loaner status. 4 Bad A$$ LED Par lites. NEW Coemar ParLite LED RGB Silver or Black 12 or...

This is a simple exercise, mostly to help expand my theory and knowledge. Since there are some way better players on this forum, I come here seeking knowledge fairly often. Keep your hands to yourself is a staple in our setlist. I would like to hear the 5 or 10 second improvised...

Up for grabs, used Pedal Pad - Power pad. This pedal board is pretty cool, rugged and clean looking with under pedal cable management plenty of power connectors, and a beefy enclosed case. Just take top off hookup your output, and RUN. $200 OBO Shipped. Trades....lighting stuff... you can...

SOLD! Looking to unload this monster pedal. This is a great way to fatten up your tone. Has velcro on back, and I have the rubber feet, original box etc. No trades, I am getting out of the pedal game, as I just seem to lean towards pure bass. P Bass > Ampeg. Done $100 Shipped.

Up for grabs, my pedal board is going bye bye. I just love the pure tone from my bass and ampeg. Had this about 8 months. Looking for $125 shipped. Have the Manual but the metal box is MIA. I think some former band mate is using it for a stash box.

Everyone knows what a pain in the butt it is to add a bunch of people from your friends list whenever you play a gig. Create an event, click on whole bunch of people, it just plain sucks to sit there and click. So we created a little teeny tiny chrome extension, whch will run some nifty...

I dig it, not for me. Sounds dominant in this mix. I wonder what the live vibe was. Since this was obviously done off the board. Invalid Link Removed

Well as much as I hate to part with this bass, priorities dictate that I should. I picked this up early this year in a pawn shop score. First time I had seen a Warwick with a finish like this. I checked the history and received an email from CEO Hans Peter Wilfer, confirming that this was one of...

An absolutely beautiful guitar! I have more instruments than time to play them. Model number EG523-SC12. Guitar Centers sold these new at $749 + another $79 for a TKL case. Looks like you can get a new one for $628 or so on amazon. Free shipping. It is a jumbo full body with cut away...

I have a Korean made Ampeg SVT8 Pro. It's a beast of an amp with 2500 watts at 2 ohms or 800 watts at 8 Ohms. I have been using this head with an 8 Ohm/800 watt GK Neo 4x10. I have gigged with this unit for the last 6 Months with zero problems. The unit works great and sounds like an Ampeg...

I wanted to share some of our experiences with using facebook for promoting our band. So this is not your typical like our band thread. By no means is this an attempt at the complete facebook marketing guide. Just some ideas to toss around. Likes are important for small clubs that do not draw...
