Anybody have an idea of what he usually used? I also would like to know what amp/cab is in this video: Any help is appreciated.

Okay, I have a question about my Stargazer 5. It has a 2008 serial number, but all records say that it was only made from 2009 to 2010. It also doesn't have a push/pull pot for series/parrallel. Does that mean mine is a prototype? Or am I mistaken on the manufacturing years?

I bought a Roland Super Cube 60 a year ago and know nothing about it. I love the amp though, very nice cleans and responds to effects well. But, alas, I can't find anything about it. Its most likely a mid 80s Roland (made in the USA). It has a no-name east asian speaker with an aluminum dustcap...

Earlier this week I walked into my local music store, and played most of the basses there, including an oddball that I originally thought was a Carl Thompson, until I saw a bolt-on neck. I asked the owner, and he told me it was a Drake. Now, I've never heard of Drake basses, but I picked it up...

Could I put a Telecaster guitar pickup in the bridge position of a bass? I'm building an Esquire bass and plan on keeping to Esquire vibe, so this'll be a single pup bass. I was planning on using a humbucker (like a stacked single coil) I'm not worried about pole piece alignment, etc, I'll get a...

After a long wait in my closet, my beloved and dear Dean has resurfaced with a new neck. It was originally a Dean Edge 1 (my first bass) that I had half destroyed, and then retired after I got a new bass. I've decied to break the old thing out now though, but with many changes. First...

Anybody have any idea on whether or not walnut will make a good body wood? I have the opportunity to get a piece of nice walnut for free/dirt cheap , and I'm wondering if it would be any good as a body wood. I'm pretty sure its rather hard and heavy (from the cabinetry and walnut tables I've...

So, to participate in this 3 wood challenge is a challenge in itself, but I decided to put up a build thread to remind myself to do it. I'm currently frankensteining a bass, but after that I should be ready to start this build. I'm thinking of doing a 30" scale, but I don't want ti build a neck...

I run my bass into a Vox Pathfinder 15 (I know, try not to bash me for using a guitar amp, I just LOOOVE the tone) And usually run the internal speaker (it has no ext. speaker jack, so I have to rig the speaker wires to an output jack to run it into a cab) but, every 2-3 months the speaker in it...

Any Bob Dylan fans? I understand he's not huge around bassists as most of his stuff doesn't have much bass at all, but as a musician we should be able to appreciate his beautiful songwriting. And, if you don't like his voice/skill, try not to be terribly insulting about it. I personally think it...

Are there any (relatively) cheap pickups similar to rick pickups in sound? I'm planning on putting Ric style pups in a build I'm designing, but all the Ric pups I can find are >100, which is too much. Any suggestions are very welcome :bassist:

I've decided to build a......THUNDERBIRD! :bassist: But, the only problem is, I don't have any to trace/too cheap to buy a template. So, to you T-Bird guys, I need a measurement from the end of the neck pocket to the strap button, lower front horn to top of upper front bout (straight up, not...

Title says it all. I've recently noticed not many people talk about hunting, and small game hunting even less. This seems odd to me, as me and my musician friends go squirrel hunting all the time, but I don't see guys on TB talking about it. So, if you are a hunter (preferably small game) I'd...

I bought a used Schecter Stargazer 5 through a trusted dealer about 6 month ago. Its in near mint condish, and plays and sounds wonderful, but I'm not really diggin the low B. I've taken the B off, since I got it with brand new strings and don't want to buy new ones yet, but these are wearing...

So, after years of building diddly bows and ukeleles (Using ukeleles to describe what they were is debatable) I've built myself a new piece of musical trash: The Notorious Rat's Laugh. Some clever wordplay, considering my surname is Ratzlaff, and I've gained quite the reputation as a mediocre...

I have re-entered my upright bass playing career, and I need some sort of amplification for it. I'm not really sure what I should use, a transducer/piezo element (I'm not 100% sure what it is, I'm a bit of a noob about acoustic amplification :help:), or can I use an acoustic guitar pickup...

I have a question regarding the 2 amps. I'm not sure which one I should get. Would the PF-350 (running 2 1x15 cabs) be loud enough for a hard rock band playing small to medium venues, or should I save a bit more and get the PF-500? I need this head ASAP so If the PF-350 can do this well I'd...

I have begun a build on a bass based on a Coronado bass. I've got the neck and all the parts, but I can't find any dimensions for the body on one. I'll get pics up of the body blank and my parts soon. Its going to be a solidbody (I know I put hollowbody, I lied) And yes, I know It'll be heavy...

I need a good amp for less than 400$, I might be able to go up to 450$. My ol' reliable fried, so I'm in the market for something new. I'm playing mostly rock, and I like a clean-ish tone ever when cranked. The head need to be around 400 watts, and put that into 4 ohms as I'll be running 2 8 ohm...

I've had a 80s/90s Peavey TKO 65 for a while, and when I bought it I was told it had had the speaker replaced in the late 90s by something around late 70s/80s. I finally opened it up today to look at it, and it had a Peavey Black Widow in it, which I'm pretty sure is a pretty good speaker. But...

Does anyone know any good fuzzes for under 100$? I have an EHX Big Muff Classic that isn't really doing the trick. I need something pretty heavy, but not terribly muddy or synthy. I really like the sound of a ZVEX Wooly Mammoth on more conservative settings, I also really like the JHS 4 Wheeler...

Whats the difference? I mean, people pay more for thicker "speaker" cables, then you look at this inside of the cabinet you're running into, and the wires coming from this puny 1/4in jack are the size of freakin spaghetti! So why pay so much for a cable as thick as my thumb when the wires in the...

I picked up a giant, ported, 15' homemade cab from the late 70s today for a bit over 50 bucks.:D. I've found out the speaker is a JBL, but i don't know how to figure out the power handling. Is there any safe way to test this, since I don't want to blow the speaker?

I picked up a used Schecter Stargazer 5 string for 320$. I was going to pick up an Epiphone Viola Bass that I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR that the butthole who owned the store sold it to another guy for 25 more than I had paid. He could only give me an in-store credit, and since I was already there a...

Anybody ever heard of Dread Zeppelin? Well, they're great. But, The bassist plays a bass I have never seen before Heres an example of said bass, as well as some Dread for youe viewing pleasure: Dread Zeppelin - Black Dog.mpg - YouTube I'm pretty sure its not a Kala U-Bass, and I've done some...

HOLY BALLS BATMAN!!!!:eek: Has anyone ever heard of this company? Link to site: Link Removed

I have a Peavey TKO 65 that I picked up for 50 bucks. The only problem was a loose dustcap on the speaker that I easily fixed. I love the tone and stuff, but the problem I have now is it either stops putting out sound or crackles after about 3/4 up on the 2 gains (Its a non-master volume)...

Okay, I have the opportunity to buy a used (Mint Condish) Epiphone Viola bass for 175$ USD. Have any of you ever played one of these, or have info on reliability? And is this a good price for one? Any info is appreciated.:hyper:
