    My WH Fat Sandwich for your WH Pork Loin

    Title says it all. I love the Fat Sandwich, but it's a little too high gain for me and that ground is covered by my Swollen Pickle. I'll get some pics up soon. Not really interested in selling at the moment.

    FS/FT TC Flashback

    Title say it all. TC Electronic Flashback Delay and Looper. This pedal is hands-down the best delay I've ever used, and it's amazingly simple to use. I'm only selling because I've upgraded to the x4. Tore Morgenson does a great job showing all the cool stuff you can do with it: And now with...

    SOLD FS/FT: Squier Chris Aiken Precision

    Got this from great TBer PBnJBassist in January, and as much as I love it I have other gear needs at the moment. 9.5/10 condition, there are a few pick swirls on the guard. Otherwise, it is very nearly new. Here's the link to the original FS thread, everything said there is accurate...

    How careful are you with your tweeter?

    I use a Markbass LMT800 and a Traveler 151p cab, and I guess I get a little bit of tweeter anxiety. I generally like to play with my tweeter cut (on the cab) at 0dB for a more crisp, defined tone with my Jazz. Recently, though, and especially since I got a used Boss ME-6B off the classifieds...

    FSR 70s Active Jazz?

    I was at Guitar Center yesterday and pulled an ash-bodied Jazz with the 3-band pre and a blocked-and-bound maple neck off the wall, thinking it was an American Deluxe. I played it for a bit and enjoyed it a lot. But when I looked at the tag, it said $799 brand new! The tag read Fender FSR 70...

    NBD! Contemporary series, anyone?

    Got a pretty decent deal on a trade this morning. Traded my MIM Jazz for an '86 Japanese P. I did some research and found that it was part of the"Contemporary Series" and was just a step below Duff McKagan's famous Jazz Special. Pretty cool for a local store find :) The bad news is it wasn't...

    NEW Squier Telecaster Bass!

    Standard: Invalid Link Removed Special: Invalid Link Removed Cruising around the Fender site and stumbled across this. It definitely reminds me of some projects I've seen here on TB. Looks like it's probably gonna run $300 street. What do you think?

    Should I at least give it a shot?

    So, I got an offer yesterday from a band on CL looking for a bass player. They said in the ad they were a reggae band, which isn't something we get often around here. So I emailed them, visions of grooving to some Marley or Tosh roots reggae tunes (which I love, and am pretty comfortable...

    Basses with 7.25" (or close) radius?

    I figured out a few months ago that smaller, vintage radiused fretboards are so much confide for my fretting hand. The vintage radius and thicker neck is a big part of why I got my Marcus Miller jazz a few months ago; it is just so damn comfortable to play. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when...

    Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon's 'Graceland')

    I've been on a bit of a Paul Simon kick this week, and started to really listen to the awesome fretless playing on Graceland. Bakithi (and all of the fantastic South African players on that project) wrote some really great stuff. In particular, the grooving on 'Diamonds On The Soles Of Her...

    Ever work with a bad but enthusiastic musician?

    So, we finally got a singer for our garage band about 2 months ago, just in time for the three shows we had lined up around graduation weekend. He's a good friend of ours, a little bipolar at times but he's easy to work with if you give him the chance. Great guy, knows all the songs and has no...

    Is anyone /not/ picky about their neck finish?

    I, for one, much prefer the feeling of a gloss neck. It just feels more solid and tangible to me. But I know there are hundreds of guys out there that will only play on a satin or oiled neck. There doesn't seen to be much middle ground for some reason. Just wanna hear some thoughts on what you...

    So... I bought a keytar. And it is AWESOME.

    I was wandering around the local Best Buy this weekend looking at keyboards, because sadly they have the best selection within about 100 miles of me. Anyway, I was leafing through the big boxes looking at a bunch of lower-end Yamahas and Casios when I stumbled upon the Roland AX-09. It was...

    Little Mark III has gone quiet. HELP

    I just played through my week-old Markbass rig, and suddenly it has no power. There is sound, but it's maybe 5w at most. The master volume does nothing but silence it, and the gain only boosts it a tiny bit. Yesterday it was rattling the windows across the house, today I can't hear 5 feet away...

    What cabs have you paired with a LMIII?

    Hey guys. I recently bought a LMIII off the classifieds (shout out to 3rdcurve for being patient with me) as a first head, as I'm rapidly outgrowing my BA115 combo. I've played the head in-store with a Markbass 2x10 and fell in love with the tone. The cab had great punch and clarity, and it...

    Difference between front and rear ports?

    I did a few searches on this topic, but couldn't find a straight answer. Basically, I'm buying a new Markbass 2x10 cab, and my choices seem to be the Traveler 102P Rear-Ported and the Standard 102HF Front-Ported. The only difference I can see the porting and the piezo tweeter on the Traveler...

    LMIII and Trace 1028H

    I am very close to pulling the trigger on a Little Mark III in the TB classifieds as the first step in a more serious rig. I have $600 to spend on pairing a cab with it, preferably a 2x10 for the time being. I may add a 15 later on, but my aim is portablility for now. I have been considering a...

    A Bass Player's Guitar

    I am ashamed to admit I have been dabbling in guitardation to satisfy some musical urges in between boring songs with the band. Shopping around for an ax, I started to wonder what bass players find attractive in a guitar. What neck profiles, pickup combinations, etc. would you look for in the...

    How to find out if a CTS pot is audio/linear, and other questions

    I am rewiring my passive Squier VM J and my passive Squier CV 60's P because both have crapped out on me recently and required some ghetto soldering jobs in my garage. I find the cheap mini pots used in the Squiers to be their main weakness, and a full teardown, rebuild, rewire, and full setup...

    Sub-$300 Practice Combo Cage Match

    Basically, I'm getting real tired of my 1x10 Peavey starter amp at mt band's practice space. I have an Ampeg BA115 at home that I like enough, but it's not very portable and regrettably, we do not practice enough to justify leaving my baby in my drummer's living room all week. I need a new combo...

    Explorer Finish Issue (dang, Epiphone)

    So i'm thinking about getting an Epi Explorer Korina Bass. I tried one out at the GC the other day, and I dug alot of things about it. The look is awesome, and the tone is grumbly but nice (I think it just might be the best bass for metal :hiding: ). The one thing I could not get past was the...

    Pickups for a Squier Affinity V

    I've been looking for a new set for about a month and nothin's turned up. Dimensions are: Neck: 3.857x1.6875 in. Bridge: 4.0625x1.6875 in. Will something that retrofits a Fender Standard Jazz V fit? I really need some help.

    How long till you decide if you like a bass?

    Title pretty much says it all. I generally decide whether or not I like the neck and play it unplugged to get a feel for the fit and finish before I plug it in. I can usually tell if I like it within a minute. I was just curious what you guys think, and how you test out a bass for the...

    Epi EB-3 Quality Issues

    Hello, everyone. Let's get right to the point: I'm a big guy, 6' 6'' with gigantic hands. Finding a playable bass with great sound is not easy, and I've had a revolving door of basses going on trying to find the right one. I currently have an Ibanez SR700 that sounds sublime, but Now i have some...
