    NBD: Music Man SUB 5

    Found a good deal on Craigslist today and made a surprise impulse purchase. My life feels more complete, as I'd wanted one of these for a long time. I want to get a new pickguard for this. Ebay searches haven't resulted in anything good. Anyone have any good tips?

    Craigslist Houston: Gibson G-3 Tribute ($250)

    I'm pretty sure this is legit, notwithstanding the somewhat erroneous description. I'd buy it if I hadn't just blown my wad on a Gibson Les Paul Jr. bass. If I can't have it, another TB'er in Houston should snatch this up for the low price of $250 (I am not affiliated with the seller at all)...

    Diagnose my problem (Ampeg SVT-3Pro)

    Right up front I must apologize for my ignorance, as I know next to nothing about tube amps except for how to turn them on and off. I have an Ampeg SVT-3Pro that I almost never use. It's remained in my closet for almost a year. It worked fine when I put it away. I pulled it out today...

    Pickup Spacing on Gretsch Broadkaster and Thunderjet

    I posted this in the general "Basses" sub-forum and realized my question is probably more suited to this sub-forum. I would be immensely grateful if someone who has a Gretsch Broadkaster or Thunderjet bass could measure the distance between the two pickups. I would be even more grateful if...

    Pickup Spacing on Gretsch Broadkaster and Thunderjet

    Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Jr. Jet II with TV Jones Thunder'Trons

    This sale was forced on me by my wife, who will not relent in her accusations that I have too many basses. This bass was something of a labor of love, as I have put a lot of time and resources into upgrading and modding. It was also a lot of fun to do those mods, and will be missed. Here's...

    Sack of Mystery: Various Bass Strings

    Here's my story: I went through a phase of testing a variety of strings for my Gretsch G2220 (short scale) and Gretsch G5123B (medium scale, but uses long scale strings because of tailpiece). After a few weeks of bedroom play testing a set of strings I didn't want to keep, I coiled up the...

    WTH kind of bass is this guy selling on CL?

    I've never seen anyone write so much but say so little in a Craigslist ad. What is he even selling? And why describe features like the bridge groundwire hole but not even bother to mention the brand name? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Troll posting or serious? Best line:

    Gretsch Electromatic G5123B: Now in Burgandy!

    As you may recall, Gretsch released a limited number of G5123B's through Guitar Center almost 2 years ago. They only came in orange, and looked like this: I heard a rumor that Gretsch was discontinuing these for good, which saddened me because it's such a great bass. Now it seems that...

    Ventura SG Clone: What did I just buy on Craigslist?
