Selling my Markbass TA501. This is a great amp with classic Markbass tone and a built-in tube compressor, which I find very useful. It's in great shape and mostly kept in my bedroom. I'm getting rid of it because I bought a GB Streamliner and need to make up some of the cash differences. There's...

Selling my Musicman Sequoia Gold Stingray. This is a special edition colorway that came out in '08. I bought this bass out of a pure whim because it was so dang pretty, but it hasn't had much playing time and I'm looking to get a Fender jazz so it's time to say goodbye. It's been kept mostly in...

I'm not sure where to post this, but since it's related to a cab I'm selling I thought it would be best to start here. I'm arranging a sale of one of my cabs with a tb'er. It will be a local pick up and we will be meeting face to face. This is the first time I'm doing this and I was...

MTD Kingston Z5 for sale. These basses speak for themselves. An amazingly fast 5 string long-scale neck, which I have really grown fond of. Unfortunately I need to get rid of some gear and this is just one of those basses that doesn't fit my play style. I preferred local pick up, but willing...

These cabs speak for themselves. Aguilar GS410 in great condition. I've had it for a couple of years and it's spent a lot of time in my room due to it's size. Picture are on their way, but I wanted to start opening up to PM's $550 Local Pick-up. PRICE DROP !!!

Markbass TA501 in great condition! Has a nice little built in compressor which I find quite useful. I purchased it from another TB'er with some sticky foam stuck to the bottom. I never took a shot at peeling it off because it didn't bother me that much, but it doesn't look to hard to clean...

I just bought a BBE Opto Stomp compressor from a fellow TB'er and I'm a little disappointed with what I got. There's a nasty pop that occurs whenever I press the footswitch and I was not notified of this prior to purchase. I was wondering if any other users have had this problem and if it's...

Hi can anyone help me figure out what effects Felix is using in the first 30 seconds of this solo. It sounds like a phaser/delay/octave combo, but I can pinpoint it.

I've owned an MTD Kingston Z5 for about 2 years now and have really enjoyed the bass. In terms of construct an feel it is exactly what I'm looking for. However, I know that many users like to upgrade the electronics and other knick knacks. I was wondering what you MTD users have done to your...

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this rack bag that Rondo sells. I've heard some good reviews, but I'm looking for personal experiences. I own a Markbass TA501 amp and I'm looking for something with good protection as well as durability for travel. Link Removed

I own a Markbass TA501 amp that I need to transport around alot. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendation for carrying it around. Preferably some sort of rack bag would be best.

I've had my Markbass TA501 for a little less than a year now. I've been powering it through the same outlet for most of that time, but recently I started getting this nasty buzz whenever I put the gain up. It's barely at the 12 o clock when I start hearing it and I can't control it without...

Is there any way to increase string tension on the bass without adjusting the action? I'm personally dissatisfied with the 'floppiness' of my low B on my MTD Kingston. I also feel like I want more of dig on my strings when I pluck. What are the factors that effect string tension?

I'm selling an MTD Kingston Z5 which I bought new less than a year ago. It's been rarely gigged and has spent a lot of time in the case. It's really an awesome bass for the money and it's got a real nice growl to it. I'm looking for a something more along the lines of Musicman, which is why I'm...

I've seen this video of Doug Wimish several times already and have tried to figure out what pedal combo he's using, but I haven't really worked it out. Can somebody tell me what's going on in the first 15 seconds and at around 55 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/user/tidoubl3m#p/a/f/1/3f35NVX_PU0

i've just gotten a power supply chain for my pedals and have hooked them up together. However, whenever I click my tuner a loud pop sounds comes out of my speaker, like taking a cable out of the bass when the amp is on. My current order is Tuner -> boss overdrive -> swollen pickle -> boss...

I recently purchased a markbass ta501 used from a tb'er. I've used it for about 2 months without problems. The only other noise i heard from my bass was the whirring of the fan, which didn't bother me. However, one day i plugged in my bass and all of a sudden the volume was dead. It was at a...

I've just become a proud owner of a Markbass/ aguilar stack. However, I've heard that you shouldn't just run any instrument cable from the head to the cab. I was wondering what kind of cable I should use and there's any recommended brands.

If this is in the wrong group forum let me know. I've been looking for some sound equipment or program to help me isolate bass lines in songs. I want to be able to crank the bass, while limiting other sounds without an EQ. Do you know of any methods? Thanks

I just picked up a Markbass TA 501, but I don't have a cab yet to go with it. I'm wondering if you got any suggestions or what cabs your running with your markbass.

I have an ibanez ATK and I really enjoy the look of the colored headstock. I'm trying to build a bass on my own and I want to get that same look on a warmoth neck. Do you know what the process is called or the formal name for what I'm talking about? Also, where can I get the job done if it's...

I'm looking in to buying a Fender P, but am having a dilemma with 4 vs. 5. I recently bought a 5'er and enjoy having the low B. However, I heard that there are differences in tone in the 5 string compared to the 4 with the Fender. I was wondering if anyone has any opinion or experience on the...

Jimi Hendrix was a man beyond his time in terms of music and his life. His guitar playing changed the face of music and the colors he created through his songs painted emotions we can not describe on our own. Who would you pick as the equivalent to the bass guitar and why?

I've been listening to a lot of jazz or fusion players. Especially the typical SMV and JOhn Patitucci. But lately I've been craving to listen to something different. Can you recommend some "jazz" bassists, preferably electric to listen to it?

Post em up! Post those custom bass paint jobs.

Hey Janek I was wondering where you find inspiration to continually practice and develop your technique. I've playing for about 4 /5 years now and I find myself losing the passion I once had. Learning new songs are so difficult that I just kind of give up and mess around the same stuff I know. I...

Post your favorite bass that you have in your collection.

What is your favorite brand of boutique? I've always wanted one, but have never really been able to try one. Which is your favorite from experience?

I'm planning on changing the strings on my Kingston Z5 from BEADG to EADGC, but I was wondering if they make strings in just these tunings. Also, when changing the strings is there a special way to do it so as not to damage the neck? I've always done the one string off one string on method, but...

I just bought a MTD Kingston Z5 and it just came in today. It's a beauty and I can't wait to break it in. I currently own a roadrunner molded case, which I've used to store my ibanez atk. Will this case work the same for the Kingston? I put it in and it fits, but it's a very tight fit from top...

I've searched the threads and didn't find an answer. If there is one though please direct me. But if not. How is SX so cheap and what makes it so popular? I've noticed many threads about SX basses and when I first heard about it, I thought it was some high end boutique bass. When I checked the...

What do you use your pedals for? what kind of music? Is it solely for personal use, something to just mess around with? Or is it for gig and live usage? I've been recently getting in to constructing my pedal board, but I typically use a clean sound whenever playing with others. The pedals...

I've never been a big user of pedals or any effect for that matter, but I've recently been digging the sounds of some effects users. i.e. John Entwistle, Doug Wimbish, bassist from Muse. I'm not sure where to start. I really want that crunchy heavy rock sound that Entwistle has in the 5:15 solo...

I'm very inexperienced with changing pickups and doing mods to basses. So I'm just wondering what is the value in changing pickups. is it sound? different tone? or better volume? I know in guitars different pickups drastically change what kind of sound you get. Is it a similar effect? Whatever...

This may have been posted before, if it has please direct me to the thread. I'm starting to really enjoy jazz and the sounds of greats such as Coltrane and Davis. However, I can't seem to find a book that has any jazz teachings or instruction. Anyone have any book suggestions?

I stopped by GC today to try out some new basses and I came across a MTD 5'er. Not sure of the model, but it played wonderfully. The neck and overall body felt good. When I plugged it in the sound was great to. However, I'm not to familiar with the brand and was wondering the durability and the...

Hey I was just wondering your opinion on the role of the bass player. As I continue to develop my playing I have found a desire to be able to play solos and have a more of a lead role in terms of playing songs. (For example, John Entwistle or Victor Wooten) This does not mean I pull from the...

This may be a dumb question, but do MIM Fender J's come in 22 frets? The one's i've seen only have 20 fret.
