hello all well i did a search and didn't see anything current .... what's everyone's favorite looper pedal when it comes to ease of use / easy to learn ? I want to use it for both practice and providing a more layered sound for an open mic situation; have never used one before I did a search...

So I'm looking for a pedal that will: provide function of a headphone amp (let me plug in a bass or a guiltar instrument signal) Let me connect the headphones via bluetooth (just trying to reduce cabling) blend instrument signal with a recording for practice have a means of importing...

So a week or so went & saw a cover band playing at a local brewery. Great show & the bassist had good clear punchy tone. Didnt recognize his bass, but it was unusual in that it had a 1 + 3 headstock, dual soapbar p/u & was adorned by only a single control knob. Its not that I'm looking for...

Mods: Feel free to move this thread if you figure it's in the wrong spot... Anyone ever use a JBL Party Box as a small portable bass / guitar amp? I'm not looking to replace any of my current gear with it, but was thinking that the current crop of bluetooth speakers lacks low end grunt & it...

OK so the past several 6-8 years all my basses have been strung with flats. It wasn’t intentional- it’s just the sound I gravitated to I suppose & one by one they all got converted. My go to default string is DR Legend Flatwound. That’s on both of my G&L and a few others although my StingRay...

OK so perhaps it wasnt today....but live has thrown me some curveballs here recently and its taken me a few days to actually spend some quality time with this bass and post this. New to me, Ibanez SR-655. Picked it up here on Talkbass Classifieds, which I have to say, has become about my...

Offering a set of Carvin J99 Jazz Bass pickups as a set, for 4 string bass. These came out of my 2001 Carvin B4 bass. They are true single coil and that is the only reason I removed them, as I wanted hum cancelling. They sound great and have the clear powerful single coil tone the J99s...

Contemplating a drum throne for practice. Several times over the years I've been to a Sam Ash store and they have really nice chairs in the acoustic guitar room to sit on and play, never occurred to me that those are simply quality drum thrones with a Sam Ash logo on the seat. Recently has...

For Sale: Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger. As new condition, never gigged. Includes OEM box, power supply and paperwork as shown in photo. Price includes shipping in CONUS. I find that I'm simply not a "pedals" type person. From time to time I try one, and invariably I end up selling...

So yestarday afternoon I was at the local GC after returning some rental equipment. (OT but the QSC 15" two way powered mains were killer, lots of volume, clear & loud. Never a hint of breakkup and we were pusihing them hard). Back OT - they've got a used Kramer Stagemaster, I'm...

Hartke Model 3500 Transient Attack solid state amp. Has two pre-amps, one solid state, one tube. Service was done about 3 years ago and tube was replaced by a local reputable tech. 350 watts into 4 ohms. 240 into 8 ohms. Sounds great, louder than you would think for that wattage...

Played with some friends last night at an open mic. Venue is a historic one room schoolhouse built in 1802, now owned by the town and maintained as a cultural arts center open to the public. Given that it was formerly a schoolhouse, this was posted on the wall. Given the insane state of...

I have a Carvin Bass, a B4 jazz style body from 2001. 4 bolt neck. About 4 or 5 years ago I bought a replacment fretless neck for it, direct from Carvin (back when they were still called Carvin). Just now getting around to the final finishing and installing it. Suggestions on the best...

Hey all who are into good stereo sound and perhaps some electronics nuts: I put this in OT because I don't know where else to put it. I'm having an issue on one of my stereo systems. At first I thought I had some blown speaker but then I realized its intermittent. If the system has...

OK. Headphones- I generally wear them for practice- often when traveling for work & I’m practicing in the hotel room. Would like something that sounds decent for music and the bass sounds good though it too. I have a pair of Sennheiser Noise Cancellation headphones, they are great for long...

So I cant be the only one biding my time on talkbass while at a SuperBowl party with zero interest in the game. Nothing really to say, but Thought it would be cool to see how many others are out there.

Seems to me that the Reviews section needs a category for Accessories. In the past year I bought or was bought for me several new pieces of gear, and was thinking of reviewing since I've lived with them for a year now. Double Bass section has an Accessories category. This could include...

Note: Bass is sold, has been shipped to buyer! I bought the bass back in the summer to scratch an itch, and having done that I found that I love the tone but I've simply got too many basses. Not really interested in trades unless its truely tempting. Primarily I'm looking to regain closet...

I almost hate to type this. Long post as I vent - I apologize. Maybe I shouldn't. Post. It. So I go i to my local GC this afternoon with full intent to buy a set of straplocks. I'm looking for a specific type of straplock, and I've only seen one brand like this. For reference, I'm looking...

I have a bass that I'm looking to do some custom work with. Its a Carvin B4 with a solid Koa body, and was originally built in a jazz bass configuration. I want to turn it into a fretless, and to that end I purchased a replacment fretless neck to fit it from Carvin; rather than go the...

I'd like a small cab for doing acoustic jam sessions / coffee house type work. I don't need much power. I already have medium and large cabs for larger gigs and an 800 Watt GK to drive them with. Currently I have an Ibanez 35w practice amp with a 10" driver, but the darn thing is close to...

hi 'y'all I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum or not so mods feel free to move. I thought there might be a group for people just wanting to discuss mods in general and not really full out building your own bass, so Luthier's corner probably isn't it. regardless...I'm wanting to mod...

Hi all I have a fender jazz type bass in need of a new bridge. Problem is that the stock bridge is recessed into the body and seems most the replacement bridges do not fit. Bridges that are made as fender jazz replacement bridges are too large to fit in the pocket recess. My options are...

Considering a new tuner pedal. I play mostly indoor and have a Korg rack tuner. about 3-4 times / year I find myself doing an outdoor event and unable to use the tuner simply because I cant see it in the bright sunlight. Guy at the store suggests the Korg Pitchblack or maybe TC electronic...

A week or so ago I came across a G&L SB-2. I really dug the fat raspy tone out of the P-style pickup, really had no idea about the unusual preamp configuration in that bass until i started doing some research. As much as I liked the tone, I was reluctant to buy becase I really didnt care...

I've been toying with the idea of a fretless, possibly based off a jazz or variant. How difficult to defret yourself? better off to shop for a fretless bass? I have a Fender Aerodyne P/J that I don't play much any more, plays great but since I bought my Stingray the Fender sits in...

Golihur French Brazilwood bow. the hair looks dark brownish to black. I bought a used bass from another TB'er last month and It came with several accessories that I do not need. I play german style bow, so here's the french bow that came with my bass. It does not appear to have been used...

Offering up as a lot: 9 strings. I just bought a used bass and it came with these gut strings I have no intention of using. Selller tells me that they are Gamut. I'm new to the world of double bass, so I don't know all the brands, much less how to identify them. I will attempt to describe...

O.K. I did enough searching and getting distracted by reading unrelated threads. I'm in the learning process and I see man posts & adds that refer to a bass as a Tyrolean bass or a bass made in the Tyrolean style. Have also seen the term used to reference tuners as well. What does it...

Anyone ever have their figners go cold & numb while playing? At practice today my finger tips (just the last joint of the middle, index & ring finger) on each hand started going numb. After a bit my guitar player noted that my finger tips were turning blue/ purple and started sort of getting...

Hey all, wondering if some of you seasoned players / sound people can lend some insight here. I'm getting an unberable amount of distortion in my stage monitors, but my wife tells me the sound out in the congregation is o.k. Its a long post, but I'm trying to paint a picture of our setup...

Hi, Maybe this exists, but I havent found it. I looked under various headings, under the FAQ files, but just havent seen it. could we have a glossery of terms, and especially acronyms? While I've been playing bass for 5 or 6 years now, I'm relativly new to the TB forum (joined about a...

Hey All, I've been lurking for a while, reading your forum, but this is my first post. I play a Fender Aerodnye p/j in a church praise band; pickups have been modded to DiMarzio humbucking split-P and Ultra Jazz. My Amp (soon to be replaced) is a Hartke 3500, driving an older...
