David J is one of my biggest bass heroes and a HUGE influence on my tone and style. I was absolutely thrilled to see such a recent interview of him go up. Now I love the Smashing Pumpkins music, but idk if Billy is built to do this sort of thing 100% solo. Billy usually asks some regular...

Aired a couple of days ago...so this is pretty fresh news by TB non-bass news standards :roflmao: I played the SNES version a few times, but I really clicked with Star Fox 64 when it came out. It was the first game I had on the N64! While a re-imagining of the original plot has been done...

That's right, I'm inquiring about something everyone harbors deep-seeded hatred on, but isn't willing to discuss. It's the purple silk walrus in the room...."Which cleaning cloth is the most overrated for metal tone while not underpowering your speakers." When I looked on AliExpress, there were...

So it's come to this...my trusty bass I've had since college (SRX3EX-QM1) needs something changed, and after much testing and such I think it's time to do something with the pickups... Alternatives and why they didn't/don't work String Change - This bass is perfectly, and I mean PERFECTLY, set...

Many moons ago, I bought a copy of Bass Player magazine that had a section on various strings and gave charts on how much Bass/Mid/Treble they each had. I have since lost said magazine (and I'd wager it's outdated anyways) and wondered if anyone has attempted or already tackled something such as...

Unlike my other posts, I'll keep this one quick and simple since it's a request for suggestions or leads... I've got a 5'er with EMG JX pickups and the BQC preamp (which I LOVE). Part of the magic in EMGs is they can be pretty malleable, but I've got a dilemma. 3 basses that are just EMG...

I've stewed on this for a while, but wanted to get some feedback before I start pushing my luck with a seller on Amazon (might be too late) or reach out to Customer Service. Over the course of several years (no less than 5 or 6) I've used GHS Precisions Flats for any bass I wanted flats on...

Probably overlooking something, but I'm looking for cabs that are for sale in the Houston area only (for obvious reasons). Is there any way to filter results to just show Houston or certain zip code range ads?

So I've only plunked around a bit over the past few years. Something to the order of a song or two I'd sit down and play every couple of weeks. Might pick my bass up and noodle a bit, but definitely no REAL seat time or anything. As far back as I can remember, the typical 4-string SR neck from...

I've set and saved one, clicked on the popup multiple times and it won't stop coming up every time I refresh or access the page. Am I missing a step to make this go away? I don't want to turn navigation tips off COMPLETELY while I'm still getting to know the site layout, but that little bug is...

Pretty sure I narrowed down where the issue is, here's the bullet points for those who want the tl;dr on my situation and troubleshooting: Signal path: Bass -> GK 700RB-II (Pad on, Contour and Presence at 0, 4-string setting, EQ at noon, boost at 12 o'clock)-> Avatar 1x12 Delta with tweeter...

Did a quick search and didn't really find anything on this specifically, but I'll post the full story and a tl;dr at the bottom for the essence of the inquiry. Long version: So I have an excellent, quiet neighborhood I live in now...complete with sleepy babies and all. I don't turn on the...

It's been a while since I could post one of these, my work schedule (and exhaustion) have prevented me from doing so, but I have time to go over it now! -The Backstory- In the process of helping a co-worker shop for and learn guitar (plus Talkbass being my browsing pastime at work), I thought...

**FOR SALE ONLY - $90 shipped in lower 48 of US** Hasn't seen the light of day in several years, and this pedal is in gorgeous condition. First owner, played in the bedroom and a few rehearsals, but she's clean as a whistle and only has some velcro attached to the bottom (for use on a...

**FOR SALE ONLY - $180 shipped in lower 48 of US** Selling an excellent condition Zoom B3n multi-fx pedal that has lived a very cushy live in my pedaltrain FX bag, coming out on rare occasions at a practice session or two. Original owner, never gigged this. An excellent pedal, I just don't have...

**FOR SALE ONLY - $100 shipped in lower 48 of US** Please PM with offers Hey all! (sadly) Parting with some of my gear, but happy I can give these to a good home! These are the EMG SJX and EMG LJX active pickups. I had these installed in my Ibanez CT 5-string and they've known no other bass...

**FOR SALE ONLY - $450 shipped in lower 48 of US** (For local pickup in North/Central Houston area, please PM to discuss options) Please PM with offers... Yes...we're finally "there". Selling my GK 700RB-II, a workhorse of an amp for several years, but treated very well. Still kickin as hard...

I was thinking about this just yesterday (due to a new bass arriving today). A lot of people (myself included) usually have a go-to string brand or even type/gauge for their basses. They might even use different brands based on whether they are rounds or flats. For me when it's rounds, I use DR...

Just a heads up, this is some blatant Ibanez content spoken by an admitted fanboy of said company. I remember years ago playing the SR300e basses when they were brand new. Liked the tone, thought the coil tap was a great feature paired alongside the 3-band EQ. They had some REALLY sexy finish...

Something tells me I definitely won't be alone on this one :) While certainly not NASA material, I've always liked things related to space (or science in general) as a kid. I've been wanting to branch out some recently, and I had the epiphany to look for an astronomy club in my area. Turns out...

To try and keep the gist as succinct as possible, I'm running out of patience trying to sell old gear. What I'm parting with for sure is a Sterling by Musicman Ray34 CA and my Avatar Neo 2x12. Rays just really aren't my cup of tea and the Avatar Neo 2x10 is PLENTY, should the need for a gig...

Selling off an excellent condition Ray24ca bass that has barely seen the light of day. I am the original owner and this bass has been a bedroom player its entire life, never even been to a rehearsal. Trying to thin the herd out some and while this is a fine bass, I can't justify it just...

Ever play an amp/combo/stack ONE time and never again? Be it a backline at a gig, a bandmate's at rehearsal, at a music store, or in a recording studio....Which one of these would you say was your favorite "One night stand" and how did you two "meet"? Any saucy details you'd like to add are very...

This may be in the wrong thread, though it does have to do with band membership. I will also save those disinterested the time, by saying this is a personal reflection post of sorts. I may just be after a healthy dose of "copium" from fellow TB'ers, but I'd like to hear how others have tackled...

Selling off a near MINT Tech 21 Blonde V2 guitar pedal. I honestly forgot I had this thing, it was in the closet inside the original tin. I then remembered I got it to fool around with during recordings, but that was years ago, I literally thought this was an empty tin I kept in my closet. See...

Well, I thought it only fair to weigh in on the bass that brought me out of "retirement", as it had been forever since I bought any gear. (that thread can be found here). So here's my review of the Squier CV 60s Jazz in Daphne Blue after a week of playing it... So in summary, I bought the bass...

So I have gone a VERY long time without buying music gear at all. For various reasons there was just no point (well, by TB standards maybe lol). So it was going to have to be a good freakin reason to make me purchase anything, and I had PLENTY of good arguments to prevent myself from buying...

Selling a Complete-In-Box Boss CEB-3 bass chorus. It is 100% original, does not have velcro or anything on the pedal itself, I even have the original plastic it was wrapped in while inside the box (please see pictures). Times are hard, and this pedal isn't really a necessity for me right now, so...

**LOCAL PICKUP for cab near Houston, TX** Tearfully parting with my Ampeg PF-20t and matching PF115LF cabinet. I did buy the PF-20t used, but it works perfectly and is 100% stock. The PF115LF cabinet has been owned and used only by me, it was unpacked in my apartment and has never been taken to...

Selling 3 of my pedals that I love, but don't get much use since I'm not really in a band right now. All prices for the pedals include shipping to continental US... Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian SOLD! - The Russian Muff Clone from boutique pedal maker Wren and Cuff. A great, classic fuzz...

Selling my GK MB500, bought new and very well taken care of. It has been in a smoke free house, never gigged, but I have enjoyed playing through it from time to time. It has a few rehearsals under its belt, but most of its life was spent in the bedroom atop a cabinet. With apartment living...

Maybe this isn't the right attitude to have, but I'm sure we all have a few musical aspirations that will likely never come to fruition. We'll say, to give this thread a little direction, this would be related to making an album or forming a group of some kind. Something that has either been...

So last night I am at full-volume band practice and all the sudden I start hearing weird squealing every now and then from my rig. Freaking out since it's a BRAND NEW GK MB500, I shut things off as soon as I could. It happened about twice (even after swapping some cables) and we deduced that it...

**EDIT** This thread has actually done like a good compressor and squashed the transient before things started clipping...please continue the trend of progressing towards civil discussion and read all replies before posting on something you feel is inflammatory, the user may have apologized or...

....even though I really needed to! (NAD: Ampeg PF-20T Portaflex!!) So in the link above, I recently acquired the Ampeg PF-20T which I got used from GC. Not long after, started hitting some very unforeseen expenses (necessary car repairs) and I was trying to talk myself into returning it for a...

**UPDATE** Mini basic review = NAD: Ampeg PF-20T Portaflex!! Been over two years since I've bought a new amp head! When I saw this puppy on Guitar Center's used section at 24 months no interest...they hooked me pretty good. I've loved the B15 sound and totally realize this will not be...

Previously installed, but gently used with plenty of wire left (8 inches from edge of pickup to end of wire). Had these in an Ibanez SR500 but have since wanted to part with the bass since I didn't play it often. Asking for $160 shipped for the pair, shipping only in the lower 48. Pickup foam...

Bought this for a project bass that never got shipped to me and now have no use for the preamp. It is COMPLETELY unopened (I had to open the original shipping box to take pictures) but all washers, nuts, screws, knobs, the PCB, and shielding are completely sealed and never used. The preamp the...

I joined an Indie band that was looking to play as a 3-piece, they already had some material and really liked the stuff I sent to them as demos. They wanted to work my material into the sets asap, even learning about 3 or 4 of the ones we thought fit best. Things seemed to be going well, but...

I got mine today, but what did anyone else who tried it think? If you've got a McD's close by, give it a try! I'm assuming we'll get some Rick and Morty fans commenting here soon, but to summarize for non-R&M fans... There was an episode where the main character had an opportunity to eat a...
