Hey TB, I just bought a 482i for a really good price, and it's awesome! I have no idea why i've never bought one of these. I understand be best to get a bmax, but the sonic maximizer has such a broad range, it work really well. I've read that it's muddy, which i can see being a problem for...

If you have one on order with any company, You might not get the 4ohm model for several months. Nothing against GK, it's common for boats overseas to take a while or encounter issues. Just wanted to let anybody who has one on order know, it's gonna be a while! Much love, CF

Gotta a MIM fender question! I have a MIM 5 String Jazz bass and I noticed today that the machine heads are in line as opposed to the G being on the other side of the headstock. The pegs look more like the hipshot shape on the end, rather than the fender one that fits in guitar winders. I...

So I've been killing time at work and dealing w/ a serious hangover so I decided to wikipedia bass guitar. I was just looking through the techniques and they site a method of Spank Bass which is using an open palm to slap the strings. I've never heard or seen this before. Does anybody here...

Scroll down and look to the left. Now you can search by country of origin while shopping for a bass. I personally think it's kind of cool, although it doesn't really matter to me where a bass comes from. Any thoughts? Invalid Link Removed

I know there's a thread already going about how fake the performance was. That doesn't really matter to me. If Yo Yo MA can fake his inaugeration performance- so can Beyonce and hell if I care if she does it at a halftime "show" too. On a real note- THE ENTIRE SUPERDOME ON DMX! The lights...

Hey Ibanez players! (Ibanezers???) I just found out I can get ibanez gear really cheap!! I've always thought ibanez necks were way too thin to be playable- so I'm thinkin about going for a 6er. I'm leaning toward the Ibanez BTB776PB. Does anybody have this and can shed some insight about their...

On to phase 2, if you were in on my thread about making a bandleading gameplan... I have a seasoned, motivated drummer. We have played for a couple of months now and we are definitely on the same page musically. We typically jam poly rhythmic grooves and hooks from popular rock/bluesy soul...

This is probably a total noob question. But what is the benefit of having a +0 fret on a bass that already has a nut? I thought it was a cheap alternative to producing a nut... Thanks! CF

Hey TB, Does anybody here endorse Wood Guerilla? I would like a little more information about their stock electronics and maybe a review of some of their basses. I peeked through here and didn't see any threads yet, please redirect me if there are! If these basses are news to you as well...

Hey TB, I just got an email saying that one of my local guitar stores is going to be carrying Schoenbach Beginning band wind instruments. Does anybody on here know anything about Schoenbach? I can't find any info at all. My guess is that theyre just a cheap proprietary brand, but i would like...

Hey bass family, I've got a Bellafina Model 50 3/4 size bass that is out of tune in the 3rd and 5th positions. This seems like a neck issue, is there a way to adjust it? Or should I send it back?

Hey TB, I'm getting my dues paid off and about to start saving up and shopping for a computer. I want something I can record on (somewhat professional quality), game on, and video chat long distances while I'm in the studio. The recording will be like a remote session studio and I will be...

Hey hey tb I just acquired a mexican fender 5 string for $150. Was that a good deal or did I just get screwed? Also, the only things noticeably wrong with it are that the d and g strings fall flat after a few tunes and the neck is warped as hell. Is there anything else I should look for...

Hey, My name is Wes (19). I recently lost everything i had in Indianapolis due to overwhelming personal dilemmas, loss of jobs and bands, and death and hit the road to nowhere with 2 friends (18,19). As stupid as everybody will take that as, it really was the best option. We are broke and...

Hey, My local store did not have any Warwick black label. So I got some Bass Boomers 45-105 (on recommendation). They have been getting worn very quickly. And after about a week and a half of daily play, my picking fingers are starting to get very sore and sensitive. Has anyone else had this...

Fellow bass geeks, A guitard tried to break my band (Link Removed) up and start crap with everyone in it. He is now no longer accepted amongst the band. The dude emailed me today about coming in and laying down some tracks for the next "mirage" album. I don't wanna start anything with the band...

Hey, I have an L2000 tribute. I was wondering what were some good ways to amercanize the neck for more playability and how to do that. Also wondering if it would be easier to install a more playable neck. Let me know! Wes

My old Crate cab went down the drain. I need some nice equipment soon! I have a good deal on a Trace Elliot 4x10 front-ported, but just played a Gen Benz shuttle 6.0 with the stl 210. It sounded amazing! Should I hold out and keep borrowing until I can afford the Genz Benz, or jump in and grab...

Hey I have been throwing bass down on tacks and live for musicians in the midwest for the past year or so for little or no cost. Simply trying to build my portfolio and experience. A friend of mine has recently given me a rough take for a song he is taking to a studio, which totally blows...

Hey! Sorry, this is a boring one! I just completed an application for Berklee College of Music! yay! I have the audition coming up and my only concern right now is affordability. I am not in a wealthy family and do not have a high paying job (mcdonalds). I really want to advance my education on...
