Hello TBers, I have always wanted to get a Squier CV 60s bass and I have the opportunity to get one now. However, I have a few questions. I am being told that this particular CV is a 1992 model. Was Squier making CVs in 1992? If so, Does the quality of workmanship and sound compare to...

I thought I had finally narrowed down my search for a new head to the Ampeg PF500 or Hartke LH500 (I actually have my eye on a good deal for the Ampeg). However, I was continuing my browsing other brands and I came across a Carvin BX600. I have an Ampeg BA115 and I have played through an...

Fellow TBers, I have done as much research as possible, without having to ask the same questions, and I still wind up pulling my hair out. I have a GK 410MBX and a 115MBX cabinet. Both are rated @ 8ohms. The 410 can hold 400 watts and the 115 200watts. I have been experimenting with a...

Hello my fellow bassists: I need help in identifying the bass body attached to this post. It is a jazz bass and it appears to be a fender or squier body (though I have never seen that color combo on either brand and I know that there are other basses with similar style bodies). I...

I have been wanting to know what these basses sound like. Fender touts them as having the most power (sonic boom), but I am curious if anyone out there owns, or has played them. I am looking at the jazz version, but opinions on either one would be helpful. Thanks :cool:

I have 5 4-string basses and was thinking of adding a 5 string to my collection. I was looking through eBay and I saw a Dean Edge 5 string bass. I would like to know if any of you have ever played/owned this bass and your thoughts/opinions on same. I won this auction ($158.00). I am not too...

I just bought this guitar and it happens to be not only my first neck-through bass but also my first string-through as well. However, I have the option of stringing over the top in addition to through the body. I know that more tension is added to the strings using string through but is there...

I have an opportunity to purchase either an ESP LTD Viper 404 or the ESP LTD B-404. First question is whether these guitars are worth buying (I do not know much about ESP) and the second being which would be a better choice? The original list price was $999. Any input would be greatly...

I have not been playing bass all that long so I have to come here to ask this question: Has anyone ever come across a squier jazz bass in a red sunburst color? I am looking at one as a project but I need to know that I am not wasting my time or even if this type of bass exists. As always, I...

I am getting this BTB on Saturday (bought it for about $200) and from the photos she looks just great. However, when I try to info on her I can't seem to find any (other than what other people want to sell). I turn to my fellow bass players and ask what is your experience with a 4 string BTB...

I do not know if any of you guys run into this type of problem with your Affinity J bass but I have owned two and it seems that you have to have the knobs controlling the volume of the pick-up guards the same or you will get a hiss type feedback. Likewise with the tone control. If you set to...

I tried to see if this subject has come up before but I could not find it. I know the difference betwween the two like: manufacturer refurbished are basses that could not pass standard for "new" so the serial number is eliminated and usually replace with a serial number on a sticker for the...

I need help. I just bought a used Squier jazz bass and when I receive it, the E string intonation is out of whack which is really not the issue but I just had to throw that in there. The real problem is the dead A string. I have tried getting a clear sound but it comes out muted or dull...

I am in a bit of a quandry and need as much assistance as you guys want to give me. I currently own an Epiphone Thunderbird IV Goth Black bass. I have done some searching and keeping in mind that my budget allows me to spend no more than $200. In no particular order: Squier Vintage Mod...

Hello Everyone, I have a query about manufacturer refurbished basses. These are basses that were rejected by manufacturer because they were not perfect. Other than price between new and refurbished, is there much of a difference them? I ask because I am looking at purchasing the Epi T-Bird...

This may probably sound like a stupid question but here it goes. I am on a very tight budget right now and I purchased a GK 410MBX. I recently came into a few bucks and I want to stack it. I find it a bit confusing about matching different size cabs but have to the conclusion (based on...

I am still learning and I am trying to put together a relatively good used head and cab mainly for practice and small gigs. I have already purchased a Carvin pb 200 4 Ohm head. I am now looking for a good used cab and I have narrowed it down to the following: GALLIEN KRUEGER 410SBX...

I just purchased an 88 Carvin pb 200. I got a lot of help when I asked if the pairing was good with Carvin 210s. Here's the problem. I am on a pretty tight budget and the only Carvin 210s that I could find cheap were on ebay for $228. I decided to do some more shopping around and I ran into...

Before I begin I have to inform all of you that I am very new to bass playing (about a month and a half). I have an Ibanez SR300 ROM that I am running through a Fender Rumble 30. I have made all of the adjustments that I could but I feel like I am missing something. I get no "kick" or "boom"...

Hello Everyone, I started teaching myself bass about a month and a half. Anyone who says that learning or playing the bass is easy tell them to come see me. Since I am just starting out I will tell you that I have a Schecter Stiletto Extreme 4 in translucent blue (I do not see them being...
