    Looking for a Casady bass in central Texas

    Hey fellow TBers. I am thinking of buying an Epiphone Jack Casady bass, but no one has one in stock to test out. I was wondering if anyone in central Texas (Austin, Houston, Dallas) has one that I might be able to meet with and try it out. I know MF and GC have liberal return policies, but I...

    White pickups on a P Bass?

    A friend of mine just picked up what is supposed to be an early 60's Fender P bass. The neck is definitely Fender, but the pickups are white/ivory with adjustable pole pieces. Anyone ever see or hear of such a thing. That is what troubles me about it. Serial number on the neck plate seems to be...

    Carvin ID?

    I found this bass at the local pawn shop. I don't know that much about Carvin, so I need an idea what it is worth. It has an ebony fretless neck, maple through body. I don't know what the other wood is, maybe Koa? It is supposedly a custom build. Hardware is brass. My best guess is mid/late 90's...

    Broken Ampeg B115 Combo

    I have a chance to pick up an Ampeg B115 combo and a little Ibanez bass for $120. He says the amp doesn't work.

    Bands with bass and electric guitar/no drums

    I have a guitar player who wants to get together and play, but we haven't found a drummer yet. I know bands that have acoustic guitar and bass without drums, but was wondering if there are any with electric guitar and bass only. Can anyone recommend a band to listen to that is only bass and...

    Can you run passive speaker from active?

    I am setting up a small band to do weddings, etc. I have a pair of Behringer B212A active PA speakers for the mains. I was wondering if it was possible to run a couple of passive speakers from the output of the active speaker. I have a small Alesis 8 mixer to run the vocals through. Nothing big...

    Hartke 410TP (Transporter) Cabinet

    Hey gang, found a Hartke 410TP Transporter cabinet at the pawn shop today for $169. I am not that familiar with their gear, but I thought it sounded reasonable. I played it and it sounds ok. I have an Acoustic B200 head with 115 box and was going to get the 410 to match, but this might be a way...
