Should I go for the ASAT semi-hollow or go solid body and get an extra string? Any other recommendations for neck profile, neck finish, and other options would be appreciated for my custom order! Thanks!

I have been shopping for a fretless, left-handed bass guitar for over a month without much luck. I currently play a 5 string active Ibanez with Nordstrands, and a Gibson Thunderbird. I used to have a cheap electric upright, but it has fallen apart. So, I am really jonesin' for a fretless. The...

This beauty came in the mail on Wednesday, brand new from the manufacturer. The strings are set a little high, and the intonation was slightly off on two strings at the 12th fret. But for a factory set-up, I was very pleasd with it. From headstock to strap button, the bass is gorgeous. It stays...

I ordered a left handed LE 2018 Gibson Thunderbird and the retailer told me they were supposed to have been received from the Gibson manufacturer on May 23. It should be in, "any day now." Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I have played bass guitar in my church band for years. I usually either run through a small Ampeg BA-110 or direct into the house. The main problem I have with running through my practice amp is that changing the volume on the amp changes the volume sent to the house. Also, the tone sent to the...

I play a 5 string ibanez SR 1205L and I would describe the tone as "clear, round, and full." I LOVE the bass and the tone. However, I have been on a punk rock binge (the Clash, sex pistols, social distortion) and I am tempted to buy a cheap, POS, p-bass just to get the tone. So my question is...

Hey guys and gals. I bought a 2013 Ibanez Sr-1205L about a month ago and I thought I should post some pictures and share my thoughts for any curious minds. Basic info first: 5 string, active electronics with pickup pan, master volume, bass, mid, treble boast/cut, mid-range select switch, and a...

For over three years, I have been playing bass on either a '84 Peavey Foundation (a nice bass but the neck is uncomfortable for me) and an upside-down '70 something Fender p-bass (also uncomfortable, and sometimes inconvenient due to the fact that i am playing it reversed). The p-bass' pickup...

I have been playing bass for a few years now I ask have done money saved and I am looking to upgrade. I am interested in five string just so I can get the extra range. Since I am left handed, I RARELY get to try a good bass out with the body, neck, and strings facing my direction which makes...

Hello everyone, I got a Dean Pace off of ebay for $300 and it is on its way to my house. I have never played in upright, so I am going into blind. I saw in the Dean Pace megathread that people where saying the stock strings are no good and that the Rotosound 88s, LaBella tapewounds, and...

Hi, guys. I have recently seen two different lefty GIBSON thunderbirds on ebay. Gibson has never made any lefty thunderbirds but apparently, as of this year, they are now making a few. Does anyone have any interesting details on these basses and Does anyone know if the epiphone 'birds will be...

So, it seems pretty much ever bass gets positive attention here on TB. I want to here some negative reviews. :) what is the worst bass you have ever played or heard someone play? For me, it has to be the ibanez gsr200:spit: or the Daisy rock heart bass. :rollno: How 'bout you?

Hey guys, I saw a Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5 for sale that had a pick guard that covered the control knobs. Usually, the pick guard on the rays is egg shaped with the control knobs on a metal plate, right? So, what is the reason for this one being different? Does it have to do with it...

So, I have been hearing alot of great things about the Carvin B25P, the Peavey Cirrus 5, and the MTD Kingston KZ 5. I am wondering which of the three you guys consider to be the best and why you thing so. Even though the MTD is passive and the other two are active, I think it is a valid...

Who played bass for the original Rocky movie? I thought it sounded kinda like James Jamerson, but IDK.

Anyone know who played bass for the original Rocky movie soundtrack? I think it came out in 1978, but I could be wrong.

Which is better for a metal sound, the Fender Jazz or the Fender Precision? I know the term "metal" is kind of vague, but I am thinking of a tone along the lines of "Suicide and Redemtion" by Metallica, or a Project 86 sound like on "Chimes" or "Me Against Me". Or is neither a good choice for...

Has Gaskell Guitars released the thunderbass yet? If not, then when are they supposed to hit the market? I couldn't find anything on how much they will cost either, anybody know? I just found out about Gaskell a few weeks ago, does anyone have any experience with their instruments?

What are the key differences between these two bass and which would you prefer? Also, are the just 'decent' basses or are they actually pretty good in terms of build quality and sound? One more question, how do they compare with competitors like the Squier Jaguar? (which multiple people...
