    NBD – Ziegenfuss Single cut

    My hat’s off to this young builder who has such an attention to detail yet doesn't lose focus on the overall goal. Bravo! Stephen has built a stunningly beautiful 4 string single cut @ 8 lbs. He’s a member here and his builds are very visually and sonically sound, versatile and he takes no...

    NBD: Warwick Hellborg Signature

    Well, some of you know I've been chasing one of these for over 3 years. They are genuinely “Hens Teeth”. In 2011 there were two used ones sold – one on the West Coast (that I missed) and one in Italy that I found out about a month after the sale. I've been scouring the Warwick board and every...

    Who said you need so many strings?

    Just think, you'd only have to buy one string instead of a full set! It's fretless and has a homemade pup! I'm not connected with the builder but thought the copy and video in the listing were hysterical...

    NBD: Dismal AX 51P Style "Barnstormer"

    Picked this up last week and used it on an event gig this weekend at a winery. I'd never heard of them before and have been looking for a 51 style and this looked unique – so I grabbed it. Brought a Mesa 15 Scout and the combo blew everyone away. Expecting the big growly lows, and got them but...

    Fender Jazz Hollowbody or Gibson Midtown std. ?

    Want to know which way you'd go here. Both of these are now at about the same price landed on your doorstep. Either will set you back just over $1200. Both are similar with hollowed out cavities on either side of a solid center block. Both are 34" and both have body and neck binding. Neither...

    NBD Gibson es335

    Pulled the trigger on this after I had a chance to run one through the paces. I’m 6’ so the 34” scale is more to my liking than any of the short scales out there. Out of the box fit and quality are impeccable. Gibson’s Memphis shop definitely has a winner here. Little things like the old...

    NBD: Warwick Star II Fretless

    I've been watching this bass go up for sale on eBay for 3 years now. Bid on it many times before, made offers but we could never get together on a price. Months later it would reappear at a slightly lower price. Well, finally snagged it at the right price when they got tired of owning it. Thank...

    SOLD 73 P-bass fleebay

    No dog in the race here. Saw this and thought someone might be interested at this price. Not a bad deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/280985421155 If all, except the finish, is really original then this is a bargain. I've got a 72 so I'm not interested.

    Warwick Wax equal??

    Given the really limited access and supply of Warwick Wax I've been using Howards Feed-N-Wax on a regular basis. Howards is a combo of beeswax and orange oil and seems to last about a month. Given that I just picked up a Star Bass II I wanted to start on the right footing but can't seem to...

    NBD - Warwick German Star II

    This arrived after a much haunting search for one at a decent price. Picked up used for two big ones from a distributor that claims it as used, but only with one hour of play time. Not a mark on it - as far as I'm concerned it's as good as new. Not a single mark on the frets. Came with all...

    NAD - SVT-cl & 410hlf

    Haven't had an SVT in my mix for 30 years. Just scored this head and cab from two separate local sources, both USA made. Now my B15 won't feel isolated being he only Ampeg with my other rigs.

    NBD (new body day) 77 Fender Jazz

    I've been searching for a decent 77' Jazz body and finally came onto one in great shape in a yellowed Olympic White. Everything here is 1977 vintage. Used the neck, pups, pg and covers from a 77' MM Jazz conversion I've had. The remaining parts I'll spin in another thread. (gunlak -thanks! pup...

    End of TalkBass as we know it?

    With how quickly posts are getting closed at even a hint of what happened or where Jimmy M is I guess the mods have their newest editions of Mein Kampf and are following it precisely. Looks like it's the beginning of the end of TalkBass.

    NBD

    Just picked this up today. Fender '72 P bass- all original, no mods, great mojo but no case. Anyone with an age appropriate case please pm me with the details. Trying to decide whether to leave the mojo alone - crud on, crud off, crud on, crud off?? Can't decide. Also need to decide on strings...

    High pass 200hz

    I've tried combing the threads here but have yet to come up with a source for a high pass filter in the 200hz area capable of 200w. Parts Express has many but nothing in that hz area. I'm trying to keep the lows off my 10's in a combined system. I've entertained using a three way and just...

    Results of the Clapton/Bonhams auction

    Looks like Crossroads got a good shot in the arm today. Some of these prices are surprising. Some went at moderate levels and some hit new highs. Wow, $ 9,760. for a Pignose?? At least the proceeds are heading to a good cause. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Knobfest - forget your eq - go big or go home

    Great story about this Alembic Custom Bass. A special tribute to the Southern England hamlet for the "Pride of Knobworth" sesquicentennial parade.
