Lords of the Low End... I have an issue that I could use some advice on, especially if someone else has been in the same situation. My wife has been pretty adamant that if I'm going to get involved in a musical project, that she wants to be a part of it. She has some chronic illnesses and...

Apologies if you're one of my FB friends and this is old news... So, 5 months ago my 1970 Les Paul recording bass was stolen from my car while I was in an offsite meeting at a local hotel. It was probably my fault as I used the fob to lock it but maybe it didn't take. The plan was to take it in...

All, Here in the PNW we're blessed to have The Bass Shop (The Bass Shop | Selected Used and Vintage Bass Guitars) owned by Chad Beeler, of the now defunct Bass NW, as well as a few nice guitar shops. What places are do-not-miss in your town? I'm especially interested in Vegas and Austin, as...

I get why someone would want an inexpensive version of a P or a J, that's why I own a Blazer. But why would someone pay $2k+ for a high-end maker's version of it? I'm genuinely curious, because if I had $2-5k to drop down on a P bass, I'd by a pre-CBS Fender, but that's just me...

A few years ago I sold (and almost instantly regretted doing so) an '82 Ibanez Blazer Bass. If you are familiar with this bass then you know it's joys - basically an early P at Rogue prices. Well, I want to get one again, but I keep missing the ones that are at a price point I want to pay...

Hey all, I've been branching out with my effects, and I was wondering something about compression. I'm struggling when I use any of my fuzz pedals, as it's hard to get a punchy sound. I'm looking to tighten that up, and I assume a compressor is what I'm looking for? If so, what does the hive...

Let me start by saying, I love listening to the blues. I dig Clapton, BB, Muddy, SRV, Jimi (is my fav and believe me he KILLED playing the blues), etc. I grew up listening to jump blues, delta blues, chicago blues, white-boy blues - you name it. But here's the thing. As a bassist, I HATE...

What album/tape/CD/release did you love from beginning to end? No dogs, all awesome songs! No best-of's or compilations. For me, it is: Rush - Moving Pictures (really anything from Fly by Night to Power Windows) Haircut 100 - Pelican West Metallica - Master of Puppets Oingo Boingo - Nothing...

I mentioned in another thread what a fan I am of interesting-looking wood. I used to be a kitchen designer and am always on the look out for cool wood - mainly furniture, but I've turned this interest to basses as well. So I guess this thread is a show & tell - please post a pic showing your...

My NEOX-212T arrived... plugged it in all stoked, and two issues. First, it didn't work with the speakon connection.... so I plugged in with a 1/4" just because I really wanted to hear it. And it sounded great, except that when I play low E, especially if I play it on the 5th fret of my B...

Well, Lynnwood, actually, but close enough... I have lurked for years, but I'm in a new phase where I am more actively woodshedding so I am also in forums more as I upgrade/add gear. Been a player off and on for years, but finally at a place in life where I can start digging in - 35 years...

Hi there, total noob here so my apologies if I do something wrong, but here goes... I am getting back into playing after a few years off (other than in a worship setting) and I'm in a place where I am filling out my gear. I have a MB SD800 head, and I'm looking to get ONE CAB TO RULE THEM...
