I'm attempting to successfully downsize from years of boutique basses to something far less expensive as I'm no longer playing as much and keeping that level of expensive gear makes no sense. In trying to replace my F-Bass BN6 with something kinda close I picked up an ESP LTD B-206sm from...

I have been a player for much of my life and have owner some of the best custom basses ever including my last which was a custom F-Bass BN6 which you may have seen lots of times here. I'm however no longer an active stage player and have reduced the bass heard over the last year including the...

Hey fellow bass players, it's been a VERY long time since I have been here as I don't actively play any longer as age and arthritis have made that no longer possible. Those long time members may remember me as I was quite active here and may also remember this bass that I now think I should...

Well I gave it everything I had but I just can't make the move to a 6 string bass, in fact I'm actually leaning towards moving to a 4 now that I'm getting a bit older (and slower). So here it is, maybe the sexiest BN6 F-Bass has ever made. Born just a short 9 months ago and in factory fresh...

Up for sale ONLY here is a 2002 F-Bass Alain Caron Signature fretless bass. I purchased this bass right here on TB about 7 months ago. It had significant signs of true player wear and as such I did get it for a decent price then. However, I'm a perfectionist and very meticulous about my basses...

As the title says I'm thinking about selling my 2006 F-Bass BN5 now that I have my new custom BN6 it's looking like the BN5 is not going to see much if any action. My original thinking was I would use the BN5 as my player and keep the new custom as just a studio/recording trailer queen. But...

Anyone ever hear of these or better yet own one...? There is a 4 string single cut for sale locally on Craigs List and it looks interesting.

SOLD - I purchased this bass here on TB several months ago to help me make a comfortable transition from my 5 string basses to a 6 string as I waited for my new F-Bass BN6 to be built. It was always my intention to sell this Stambaugh once the F-Bass was completed and it nearly is so it's time...

Been playing bass now for 40+ years and every once in a while I hear the term "Zero Fret". Well I have read that term here twice over the last day or two and I must admit that I really don't understand the function of the zero fret. I know what it is but I don't get what it's there to...

Is Dave still associated with Bass Central...?

My cover band would like to do Fool in the Rain and I'm cool with it because it's a good tune and fun to play. They want me (the bass player) to mimic the the Page lead break which is guitar synth -1 octave. Frankly it's a crappy lead break in my opinion, maybe Jimmy's worst and I'm not...

Drove up to Chris's shop last week and had him install the Fodera / Mike Pope preamp and my new David King knobs. The bass now sounds just awesome, just like a single cut Fodera and it should because it now has the same Aero pickups and pre. What do you guys think of the knobs...?

I have never been much of a stomp box guy but recent gig's had me looking for some dirt and a few other tricks. Looked at all the potential options and decided to give the Nova a try. Only have had it a few days but I must say that although this thing is really geared towards guitar players it...

I'm looking at a couple of his 6 string basses on Ebay right now, one is an Associate and the other is a Sonority and I'm not 100% sure what the difference is between them. They both seem to be about the same vintage, late 90's. Does anyone know differences between these two models.

I'm not currently using ANY effect what so ever except maybe a little gain crank to drive the tube in my Genz ShuttleMax head to get a little bark or dirt in my sound. But I'm in a band situation now that could benefit from some level of sound manipulation such as chorus, distortion, reverb etc...

Some years ago Chris Stambaugh made a pair of twin 6 string 33 scale basses for a player in Chicago so I'm told. One was fretted and one was fretless but they were very near identical otherwise with just mild variations in the tops. I recently purchased the fretted twin from another member...

One of my favorite bass players, Dave LaRue use some type of hanger on his Ampeg cab so that he can just hang his bass there and needs no floor stand. I can't seem to find one on-line, anyone know what this could be, maybe he made it....?

Mr. UPS just arrived with my 2nd Uber Quad can't stop smiling...! The 9.2 really opens up large when it's run at 4 ohms, and loud too...!

I have been listening and watching the Dirty Loops Youtube video's now for a few weeks and must say Henrik is one seriously talented bass player. His use of ghost notes on Circus is simply fantastic. His solo in Baby is so good it makes me want to give up bass forever. The best part is you can...

I'm selling my David Eden Metro built in April 2004 before USMusic took over the company and drove it into the ground. The amp is in totally mint condition and has never been out of my smoke free music room. I also have matching 210XLT expansion cabinet that was purchased at the same exact time...

Hey guys what do you think of running a Shuttle Max 9.2 into one Uber Quad (8ohm) and one Uber 212 (4ohm)...? Would it sound big and would the 9.2 handle the sub 4ohm total load OK.

I'm really close to buying a beautiful Jerzy Drozd Legend 5 string that is currently a fretted bass with an extended 36 fret fret board. This bass would be a killer fretless but I just realized that if I have a luthier remove the fret wire and fill the slots the side dots are not going to be in...

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I just got a sick deal on a Genz Benz Uber Quad cabinet and I plan to use it under my David Eden Metro Combo for the times when I need a little more volume. This will be replacing an Eden 210XLT extension cabinet that serves the larger venue purpose now. What I'm hoping for is a little fuller...

I was listening to some old Flim and the BB's last night and got to wondering what ever happened to him. He was really one hell of a player. Alembic 5 string if I recall. He had a awesome sense of style and note selection.

I just stumbled onto a very nice looking 6 string bass with neck thru design made by Dave Pushic whom I never heard of before. The bass looks very nice but looks are only one aspect obviously. I went on Dave's website and it looks like his prices are VERY low for what looks like a high end bass...

Hey guys help me make a good decision here. I'm currently a 5 string player and my main axe is an F-Bass BN5 with not fancy top, a really decent bass. I had to opportunity to sit in with a band while on vacation and got to play a Ken Smith BSR6 and loved it. The neck profile was very thin and...

I have an opportunity to pick up a brand new B4 bass with the really cool aluminum hard case for what is really less than 1/2 of the MSRP. I have read just about everything I can find on the bass several times over, watched Ed's You Tube review about 4 times and I'm really thinking that this is...

I'm contemplating the purchase of a used Tobais Classic 6 string bass but have a few questions that are making the purchase difficult. First off the seller told me that he was told when he purchased the bass that it was a Killer B but it's a neck thru design and from what I can find Killer B's...

Hello all - This is my first post but I have been reading and learning from all of you for years. I have a David Eden Metro Combo and an add-on 2x10XLT cabinet and this system has worked well for me for years. What I'm lacking however, even when I use the 2nd cab is a tight and focused B string...
