I don't know how I missed this from a few months ago. This orchestral and bass piece from Derrick Hodge is out of this world. I love his work, not just as a bass player, but as a composer

I used to have a Sugi NB5 and loved the way it sounded, as well as the fit and finish. The neck profile was not my favorite though. I got to play a Sugi 4 string and loved the neck profile- it is a slightly rounder jazz bass profile (still not as thick as P bass though). Nut width is 38mm. I...

I had the opportunity to play a 1981 Stingray today. It sounded amazing and was in great shape overall. It truly played like butter (looked like it was refretted but whoever did it did an excellent job). I truly love the Stingray Specials but couldn't deny the mojo of the vintage pre EB...

Having a cool jazz bass built and wondering opinions on which way to position this board. I know this is totally subjective but curious what others think. I'm leaning towards the left side of the photo towards the nut These is ebony, just with prominent striping (looks cool and is more...

I regularly stop getting notifications from threads I follow. I'll go to the thread and see I've missed many posts without an alert.

Been listening to this podcast and really enjoying it. I have always said that Stevie Wonder is my favorite song writer. His 70s albums were just amazing song after amazing song, and he had the ability to use unusual chord changes and structure and still make something incredibly catchy. His...

Thinking of putting together a bass with a triple pickup (ala Dingwall) but with Aguilar super doubles. Should the middle pickup be a neck or bridge pickup? The pickups would be further back on the bass which is why I thought to go bridge. So it would be a set of neck and bridge, with another...

Got a new phone and now locked out of my authenticator app. Don't know the password and it says it is not recoverable. Is my account just lost once I need to authenticate again? Is 2FA really necessary for this site?

This is one of the best P basses I've played, and the one with the lowest action I've tried. Really great resonant and even sounding instrument in Burgundy Mist with matching headstock. Alder body, roasted maple neck, and rosewood board. Hipshot tuners. I don't know if these are pleked or what...

Just picked this up but not so into how big it is! Think I might get a stomp instead. Mint condition with original box (box is a little banged up but unit is mint). Includes adapter and Bluetooth module. Original sales thread here with details and pic...

I keep buying Stingray HH and now an HS, and I just have to admit to myself that I a single H Stingray guy. I just picked this up, and I do feel that the HS is more usable than HH. All pickups on is more balanced sounding to me, neck pickup is more usable solo, and you still get the inner coil...

Price drop! You'll never find a 34 scale Sugi for this price... Sugi is a renowned Japanese brand you rarely see in the States. Truly high level boutique craftsmanship, perfect fret work, wood choices, balance, and sound. All fo their basses are unique, but this one even more so, as generally...

Help cure me of my addiction of buying good looking Bongos! My only trade interest is a Stingray Special 4HH, ebony board preferred This is a 2010 BFR Black Sugar Bongo with roasted birdseye maple neck and ebony board with regular dots instead of the macaroni inlays. It was a closet queen...

Not playing out or recording much so getting rid of my Starlifter. Absolutely stellar pedal with 3 band EQ and sweepable mids as well as a Modern and Vintage switch. No marks anywhere and comes with power adapter and original everything. Full specs here StarLifter Bass Preamp/DI $225...

I've been trying a lot of japanese basses recently and this is a killer example. I'm just trying to finance some more Stingrays! This is the highest end of the Bacchus lineup, everything handmade in Japan. These pickups are great and nail the 70s jazz tone. Not sure what they did but the bridge...

2018 Barolo purple Bongo 5 string with stealth black hardware and pickups. This one has one of the most ridiculous flamed necks I've seen. I've had a couple Bongos and this is my favorite, it balances perfectly in the lap which is not usually the case with these. Great condition besides the...

This is the best built and one of the best sounding basses I've owned. Unfortunately the nut width is too wide for me (47.5mm) and it irritates some nerve damage I have in my left hand. Atelier Z is a boutique Japanese bass brand. Their craftmanship is off the charts. This bass has the best...

Here is a rare bass to see in the states. A very beautiful Sandberg 35th Anniversary California Supreme 5. Beautiful quilted maple top on a chamber alder body. Ebony fretboard with real inlays, and a carefully selected and aged roasted maple neck with matching quilt headstock. Glow in the dark...

I grew up playing through Yorkville (what Traynor used to call themselves in the US) amps and always liked their solid tone and reliability. My TC amp died and was looking for something new, so take the chance on a Traynor SB500 head a few weeks ago. Really loving it, fairly transparent but easy...

That's it

I might of 20 years ago lol

Hi all, I picked an Ibanez SR 755 in October. I have a SR 5005 as my main bass and love it. But I wanted the SR 755 for a more traditional passive tone. I keep it in passive mode and favor the neck pickup and it sounds great. But I haven't found the right strings for it yet, I want some old...

Hi, curious to see what others are using in their home studio. I usually play bass on a typical guitar type stool, which I find very comfortable. But it is too high when I want to switch to playing some keyboard or messing with the computer/drum machine. Also the stool doesn't have wheels so it...

Enjoy! Happy New Year all

Besides Markbass what are some tiltback or wedge 210 cabs? Budget is preferably under 600 or so, and I am very open to used. Thanks!

Hi, I'm starting to put together a custom build. I'm looking for 5 string dual coil pickups that are capable of connecting to a three way switch to select front coil, both coils, and rear coil while staying hum free in single coil modes. The bridge string spacing will be 17mm. The only one I'm...

I have been listening to Cenk for awhile. Just thought I'd share his music as he is really talented!

He's one of the great innovators no doubt

Here is a cool instruction video by Mark I thought it was cool to hear him talk about all his gear. His honesty was refreshing also, he says that he loves fret lines and can't play in tune well without them! His double neck Pedulla is gnarly

Seems like a great deal! https://www.guitarcenter.com/Ernie-Ball-Music-Man/StingRay-5-H-5-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar.gc

Hi all, I have trying to improve my fluency when playing over diminished and augmented chords. I feel like walking over these chords is no problem, I know my arpeggios and inversions and just use those chord tones with some passing notes (still plenty of room to improve but I have some...

Hi all, Looking to get back into recording after several years. I currently only have a cheap Chromebook so am unable to do anything really. I am not particularly well versed on what to look for in a laptop for recording. Are there good options in the 500 USD range? I'm planning on pairing...

I posted this in the G&L club but couldn't help but share my joy in it's own thread. I picked up this 2012 M2500 in mint condition a couple days ago. I have been on the quest the past few years to find the right bass and I think I finally got it! I have never fallen this in love with a bass...

Was practicing to this last night and thought it was great I remember the guy in the vid from Bass Player mag back in the day The transcription is hard to read unless you go full screen on a computer monitor. I found it to be good for practicing reading and playing syncopated lines Just...

Any one know of sound clips of Aguilar super doubles that are passive only? Or have them in a bass that you run passive and want to share your opinion? I've been into double style pickups and am thinking of putting them in a MTD Kingston Saratoga 5 that is all passive. All the demos I found...

Saw this video by Andy Irvine, thought it sounded great-

Are there any pedals that do both delay and reverb, have tap tempo, and subdivision selection? Preferably under 200 buck used or new. Thanks for your input

Never thought I would sell this one, but it's time- I bought this beautiful Stambaugh bass at Bass Specialties outside Philly in 2009, where they didn't know much about it. Emailing Chris he gave me some details but could not remember when it was built, so that date is unknown. Beautiful black...

I pulled this out of a custom bass I got used. I'm not sure what it is exactly, it's a five way rotary switch that switched pickups and what sounded like some phase options. I wanted a more traditional sound so I took it out and now have vol, vol, tone. Before it was this switch, vol, tone. It's...
