    Setting Up A Stereo System

    Hi there, I've been wanting to put together a good sounding stereo system, and I've got some equipment but don't understand how to use it, or even its purpose. In short, I mainly want to be able to use my turntable in this set up, with the option of plugging in an iPod as well. Equipment...

    Acoustic 140 Amp Head

    I'm looking for information about this head. I found an old TB thread that had conflicting information about its volume and power, and I'd just like to get the info straight. Does anyone have experience with or know much about this head? There's one on Craigslist with a 2x15 Fender cab for $200.

    Am I dealing with an idiot, scammer, or is this more fair than I think?

    I posted an ad on Craigslist asking to trade my VM Squier Fretless. A guy responded and said he had several basses he was willing to trade. I asked him to name them, and he responded with this: "Fender Fiesta Red Road Worn Jazz Bass Three tone Sunburst Fender P-bass Light blue...

    Replacing a fret

    I've got a pending deal on Craigslist, possibly trading my VM Squier Fretless Jazz for a MIM Jazz. The guy said that it's in good condition, apart from the fact that it lacks the 20th fret. How expensive/difficult is it to replace the fret? Sidenote: The Squier has been great to me, a...

    JR White plays a Squier

    This is from a Pitchfork Special Presentation, a few live videos of the band, Girls. They are fantastic. And the bassist gigs a Squier. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] At around 1:45 you can clearly confirm it for yourself. These CV and VM Squier's aren't f@$!ing around. Anyone...

    I need an upgrade

    On Friday, I played my FIRST SHOW EVER! And I couldn't even hear myself. My Fender BXR 100 failed to be loud enough to be heard amidst a guitarist and drummer in a high school gym. I'm a bit of an idiot about amps, I suppose. So, we're pretty much officially a band now (the three of us), and...

    Becoming A Pilot

    Today, I was looking thru an old Time magazine, and it had an article on the happiest jobs in America. Near the top were Pilots, and it also included that the average salary was $141,000. I'm 16 and I am not really sure what I want to do with my life, but this looks pretty good. I've always...

    What bass is this?

    It's definitely a Schecter, you can read it on the book in person. It looks like the Stargazer design, but I can't find it in a natural finish. I think it looks killer though.

    Sorry if this is unorthodox and weird...

    But I think I want a fretless, so I was looking at the Squier VM, and the one thing that keeps me from buying it is that I would like to have inlays on the fretboard. Now, I'm not going to spend that much money to put inlays in, so if I bought it, is there a cheaper way to put dots on the fretboard?
