Hey, guys! So my issue is pretty specific. I Used to play a lot of metal, and my rig is perfect for it. Absolutely clear and true bass, g&l custom fretless 2000, gallien Kruger preamp, power amp, and two acme B4 cabs. It's a monstrosity, and I wouldn't give it up for the world. Well, I'm out of...

Hey, guys. I just bought a house and I'm looking to start towards getting my band room ready. I have bass, guitar and drums covered leaving me with vocals. So, we'll start with my needs, move to my ideas and then we'll see if I'm on the right track or if I'm way off. I'm looking to have two...

Up for sale is a nice little pedal. She's practically new, only used a handful of times myself, and has been sitting on my carpet for the last couple months. I'm in the Army, stationed in Korea, so it's been in the barracks with no pets and no kids, but it'll take about an extra week in...

Hey guys. I just bought my first real effect pedal a couple weeks ago. The Darkglass VMT, and I didn't realize it didn't come with a power supply, so I went ahead and ordered one which arrived today. Now, when I plug everything in I get absolutely no sound. The light comes on the VMT, and...

Gorgeous bass, but she's definitely a player. I got 'er on a trade, and have treated her well, but she came to me pretty banged up. I'm going to be straight forward with all of the issues of this bass, and put it up at a reasonable price. I'm looking to sell this Epic quick, and I don't have...

Hey there! So, I'm working on getting the pieces together for my first build, and need some help trying to track down some non-fender tuners. Apparently off of a 70s Musicmaster: Seems to be from a 70s Teisco I can't seem to track down any other pictures of these types of...

Okay, I'm finally getting started on my first scratch build. It's been in the works for some time, but now I have workspace, and am ready to get rocking. So, today I post lumber porn. the whole shebang (minus the maple veneer) From left to right, we have Brazilian Cumaru (new wood for...

So, my plan in to have fiber optics fret markers. I want to do vertical line fret markers, filling the slots with mirror epoxy, in several layers. I'm asking if this is.. reasonable to expect to work? I plan on doing some test runs once I get the LED stuff. Any advice from the fiber...

So, I'm actually getting started on my first build. Between working my ass off in the military, and having my first kid, and not having anyplace to make dust, this has been put on hold. Now, I found someone sorta local willing to help me out, and let me come over and make dust. I wanted to go...

Okay, so I have a project I'm working on in the luthier's corner, it's a Pbass, Bently Series10, and I'm looking to replace the bridge, which is unusable. Now, the issue I'm running into, is that I can't seem to find any bridges that have a string through pattern to match the body. The holes...

Hey there, folks! I've always been able to come to the TB community for help, and for the last year I don't know why it never occurred to me to ask this. Is there anyone in the tidewater Virginia area, or Richmond area with some more heavy duty equipment I could use? I need to use a planer...

I don't have much for you at the moment. No pictures, as I'm at work, but I'll tell you the story. I got this bass, when my dad came home from trolling the local thrift stores one day, when I was 16. It was in pieces, and in rough shape. It was a Bently Series10. I've been looking forever...

Hey folks. Haven't been around for awhile, but I have a few questions. Here's what I got: A full rig: Acme Low B4 x 2 (monster full stack), with a GK 2001RBP preamp and a crown drivecore 1500. Tons of power and not fun to drag around with me. I got the rig when I was with a metal band that...

Okay. Typing this on my phone excuse any typos or dropped words. I'll update when I get home. I am an it professional and have always been interested in luthiery and pickup construction. Now I am currently being spun up on the theory and practical application. Of fiber optics. I wont go into...

For sale a 1994 Alembic Epic, an amazing sound, and I've never heard anything like it. I'm slowly trying to move up in the world, and selling this is one more step for me. I'd like to sell this in the next three weeks, but I can't move much on the price. Unfortunately, things have hit my...

This isn't a straight "which is better" or it'd be a poll, I'm looking to hear opinions on the benifits and values of each. Some info: I'm currently playing an Alembic Epic 4 string, through a GK2001rbp through a crown drivecore and 2 Acme low B4s. It's a beautiful sound, and I love it, just...

I've always been so intrigued by Rob Allen's Mouse, but never wanted to go short scale. I've always played long scale and can't imagine making the trade at this point. I currently run a long scale Alembic Epic, and with my super long arms, I feel like the transition might kill me. -eek- Just...

Pretty simple. I'm looking to trade my Epic 4 with maple top for any epic in good condition with non-maple top. My bass is in good condition. Has slight player wear. Nick in the headstock, but for a 17 year old bass is in great condition. Currently have nylon wound strings on it. Gives it a...

Okay! So I'm looking at picking up a second cab, and will be running bridge mode, GK 2001RBP > Crown 1500 Drivecore > 2x Acme low B4 Now, I know I need to change the amp end of the first speakon cable so it can take the power from both channels. Put the cable into "Bridge mode" capatiblity...

I've been looking hard at the thumptinator, as the volume my band plays at, I'm working my cab pretty hard. To combat this, I've been told to invest into a HPF, and someone else had mentioned the thumpinator, which I've taken great interest in. Now, my question, is the thumpinator just a HPF...

Here on the forums, in the classifieds, there was a G&L, I want to say L2000. This one was special though. It sent me on a long and tiresome search for something similar, but nothing ever compared. It was a deep, dark blue. Like obsidian with a hint of azure. It had a natural wood binding, gold...

I aspire. So, I've wanted to do a build since I was, hell, 15? And if anyone here recalls, I have, in fact, posted here about it before. Now things are getting more serious. There's a couple things getting in the way of me actually working on this, but we can focus on that later, first let's...

Hey guys. Been out of the world for awhile, good to be stretching my legs in the community again, and glad to start by offering a staple in bass world, EHX mPOG. Original Manual and Original Box included with sale, POG is fair to good condition. Few scratches, nothing detrimental and nothing...

Has anyone ever played around with this as an idea? Laminating wood horizontally? I'm not even sure if what I'm saying makes sense. Anyways, I don't have much to add, just curious if anyone's played with it. Would there be any structural concerns with it?

So. I've been wanting to build a guitar (now a bass) for many years. I've restored and destroyed a few basses in my time, but it's time to build. So, I have almost no tools. I have a crappy jigsaw, a dremel, and the saw and file on my leatherman. Oh, and a single micro-rasp. A tiny one...

Up for sale is a lotus headless bass, licensed by Steinberger. Trans Red finish, with P/J style EMG Pickups. Comes with a pelican case (about $200 new), about 30 strings of various sizes and manufacturers, all roundwound. So, the bass was produced in the mid-80s, as far as I've been able to...

I just picked up a set of tapes for the bass that is on its way. I realized that I got tapes in the thickness I would get rounds for the tuning I need. Is there a difference in tension for tapes, or is it close enough that I wont notice?

Hey guys, I'm in the market of restoring a 74 P Bass that's been pretty mistreated, and I've decided to go a more modern route. So I'm looking for custom ashtrays. I want Black, which I can find in the Bridge cover area for about $18 online, but for the life of me I can't find a matching pickup...

:ninja:I've never liked the look of fender strats. In fact, I would go as far as to say I would never want to be on stage with one. Unfortunately that distaste has carried over to Sadowsky and G&L and the like. Which I find is really unforunate, everyone always raves about them, but I feel I...

Okay, I inquired on Craigslist about busted up basses, as I'm looking for a new project. Guy gets back to me saying he's got a 63 fender jazz he got for his son 20 years ago planning to fix up but both lost interest. Ended up in the attic where he forgot about it until seeing my ad. Now I've...

Hey, guys. I've been hurting for money recently so I'm trying to turn some basses around for minor profit, put it straight towards GAS. So, I picked up a Squier P-Bass off of craigslist for $20. It's in good condition, electronics are sound, structure is sound, cosmetics look great. So, what...

I've just started looking at buying a bass player's bass, I've got a lotus steinberger style strung in piccolo tuning (I'm kind of proud of my bass) with EMGs, but I'm looking for a Real bass, you know? I just want an alembic. Anyways, I went to their website to see what options they had, read...

So, I'll post pictures here shortly, but I've decided to get the bass I want. No idea if anyone here is in the market, but hopefully it'll find a good home. I'm the second owner, bought it from a friend back in MN, and it hasn't left it's case much since. It's ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, and plays...

Alright, so I've picked up a QSC 2450. I check it out, and it seemed in decent working condition, some crackling when you change the output, but at max output it sounded fine. So I sold it, sent it out, and it was promptly returned to me. Now I have it back, and it's... acting weird. In bridge...

Okay, so I'm no newb to playing bass, but I'm certainly new to dialing down the right tone. So, I'll start by saying that I don't have any experience playing different tonewoods, or even know what wood my bass is made of! So, I'm looking at something in the cirrus/alembic epic/europa/orion...

Hey guys! I just picked up a QSC RMX 2450, it's not new, has been working a PA system, but is in great working condition and runs my acme B4 just fine. Price is $400 shipped to ConUS. For any information on this particular Power Amp, refer to: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Pictures...

Alright! I've finally gotten my rig with the power and ability that I want, now it's time to fine tune the sound that I require. The only effect I have ever used was the in house sub-wave in the SWR 350x. It was fun, and I'm getting a sub octave pedal to replace it, but I can verify that as far...

So I'm at the point on building my case that I'm about to use my 3M 90 heavy duty spray adhesive to adhere the fabric I am using to the case itself. There were some defects in the wood (and with the way the pieces fit together) and I covered parts with Hardcast foil tape. So, a decent amount of...

So, guys. I'm playing in a band that wants to do low drop G#, and I've decided, for fear of my cabs (and the terrible sound of low G# through my rig) to go the other direction and get a sub-octave pedal. Too easy. So I'm getting a ADGC set, and tuning the A down half a step, and the rest up...
