Has anyone replaced the Stock LH-3 preamp with one that has a universal (works in passive and active) tone control? I love my Lakland 55-14 like no other bass I've ever had, but would like to have have the tone control for a bit more versatility. What preamps have you replaced the stock one...

This is my second one of these in the last month. I grabbed a black one after selling some cabs to GC and then saw this white one on Facebook Marketplace. It is literally brand new, not a single scratch to be found. I consider this a unicorn for this model because of the condition. Playability...

Hey All, does anyone know of a solid app that creates tablature from an isolated bass track or general MP3/WAV file? I'm looking for the same thing that the bass covers on YouTube feature with the tabs moving across the screen during the videos. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Well, I never thought I'd have to make a post about receiving dismissive messages from Warwick/Sadowsky customer service after purchasing a brand new Metroline, but here we are. I purchased a brand new Metroline JJ 5 that I received on January 7th. The bass itself is great, other than the sharp...

I was lucky enough to see an Instagram post for Brubaker Basses about their Black Friday sale. I live about 25 minutes away from the shop/factory and went initially to pick up a J/J 5 but after thinking about it, I decided to go with a P/J as I already have a 5 String J bass.. Kevin Brubaker...

I am in love with Spector tone in general, but I can't pull the trigger on one yet, only because when I'm standing with it on a strap, the reach to the first 3 frets is incredibly uncomfortable. So much so that I know I wouldn't be able to play it functionally in a gigging situation. Has anyone...

I'll start by saying I'm new to recording, so take it somewhat easy on me, haha! I'm trying to find a relatively fast and most efficient way to record bass cover vids and clips so I can start creating content and pick up more gigs. I just don't know where to start, or what the best method is to...

Hi All, I am currently running a Genzler NC 210 and an Ampeg PF115 (I know, kinda shoddy) and am looking to replace the Ampeg with a Genzler cabinet to pair with my NC 210. The problem is, I can't decide on which cab to pair it with. Would you all suggest the NC 212, 112 or the 210? For...

Hey All - Wondering if anyone has ever replaced a bridge on a Lakland 5 string. The thread title says DJ5 but I suppose it could apply to any Lakland 5 string. I love the bass but would like to have 18mm spacing at the bridge if possible. If anyone has, would you mind sharing the bridge you...

Apologies in advance for the rant. I've never made a post like this, but I feel it's necessary given the recent experiences I've had with Fender USA products. I'm going to preface this by saying that I recently grabbed a Player II Jazz Bass - black w/maple board. I wanted a decent passive 4...

So, I have a Sandberg TM5 listed in the classifieds here on Talk Bass. I really do like the bass, but I'm also GASing for a J/J 5, with Bass Mods holding my interest over anything else. I'm wondering if there are any of you out there that have had both a Sandberg 5 and a Bass Mods 5, and what...

**Final Price Drop** $2,000 Shipped CONUS. Payment accepted via Zelle, Cash App or Venmo. Since the last posting, somehow a small ding found it's way to the upper right horn. Not bad, but it's there. Pictures added to show. Ok, call me crazy but I’m doing this anyway. Literally just received...

I've never done a NBD post, but I thought it was about time after receiving this beautiful bass. The Anaconda Ultra J5 Essence in Satin Black - WOW! Let me preface this by saying that I sold a Bass Mods K534 recently to fund this and was concerned it was a questionable decision. I thought...

Hey All, Just picked up a great 5 string Bass Mods NP5. I'm wondering what the screws on the bridge saddles are for. It seems obvious, that the two at the top of the saddle are for the string height, but only the one on the left side of the bridge turns, seems as though the other one might be...

Hopefully the title isn't confusing, and my apologies if so. I'm curious to know how to play over a chord like D/E. The entire progression is Emaj7, D/E, Amaj7 and D7/9. I know it's probably something I'm overthinking but I'd really like to understand this. And for the last chord of D7/9...

Hi All, I just scooped up an awesome Bassmods EF4 and love the way it plays. However, I think I’d prefer replacing the preamp and making it passive, possibly replacing the Bartolini pickups. I like vintage sounding jazz bass pick ups, 60’s style basically. if anybody has any suggestions on...

Hey All, Wondering if anyone has swapped pickups in their Sandberg TT4, and what you might suggest for a more 60's/70's Fender-ish sound. I love the pickups in the American Pro II Jazz basses, but not sure they'd fit the actual bass. Any suggestions or links are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

**Mint Condition ** Sire M5 5 String in Natural Finish This bass is brand new and has never been taken to a rehearsal or left my house. It’s an absolute beast of a bass. I am just not a five string guy, unfortunately. As much as I want to like five string basses, they are just not for me. It...

$500 Shipped Mint/Brand New Condition. Maple Neck with Ebony Board. This neck has never been mounted. Will need mounting holes drilled but they are pre-marked by Lakland. I was going to replace the neck on another bass but decided not to. This is an amazing neck and anyone that is familiar...

Absolute mint condition with a great playing in feeling neck and low action. Plek'd neck as with all Laklands. Bought from Sweetwater, new, on 08/22/22. Looking for an American Ultra Jazz or Precision bass and I’ll be willing to add some cash for the difference. I will sell directly as well...

**$1150 Shipped in Lower 48** Up for Sale/Trade is a brand new Lakland DJ4 in Natural. I bought this last week along with a Lakland 44-64 Geezer in Black to compare, with full intentions of only one staying. I failed to read the return policy at Bass Central in FL, so my loss is your gain. It...

**$1999 Shipped in Lower 48** Up for Sale/Trade is my Sandberg Nighthawk Plus. Fantastic Bass, clear, punchy and powerful with the standard impeccable quality we love from Sandberg. The color changes quite a bit under different light as well. Glow in the dark side dots are a cool touch to this...

Make an offer :)! Up for Sale or Trade is my 2020 Spector Euro 4LX. Beautiful aesthetics, fantastic playability and Spector tone. Comes with a standard Spector gig bag and wrenches. There are a couple of buckle scrapes on the back but nothing is wrong other than that. Never gigged and stayed...

Hey All, So I have an American Ultra P that I just bought new. Absolutely love the bass, but I'm afraid to make any truss rod adjustments. I have inserted the T-handle 3/16 wrench that it comes with, but I tried to turn it lightly and it doesn't want to tighten. I am afraid of...

Hi All, **$100 Shipping in addition to price.** ***US Shipping Only*** Absolute MINT Condition! Up for sale/trade is my 2019 Ernie Ball Stingray 4H in the discontinued Natural Finish. Amazing playing, low action, and fantastic tone as one would expect. My current needs require more P bass...

Hi All, I bought this a couple of months ago and have come to the conclusion that 5 Strings are not really for me. I need to keep one in my arsenal, but I'm going to purchase (or trade) a less expensive 5'er because I'm cheap and cant justify the cost of this instrument as a secondary bass...

Ok, so the chorus for this song is in Amaj, easy enough. However, during the verse (basically C#m7 and Dmaj7) I'm kinda confused as to what the key is. I know I can play around those two chords using their arpeggios/chord tones, but when it comes to throwing a fill in at the end of the Dmaj7...

Hi All, Has anyone had experience swapping the ceramic pickup in the Musicman Sterling or Sterling SB14 to a regular Stingray pickup? I have a Sterling on the way but I do prefer the normal Stingray tone. It's really the neck that I like most about the Sterlings. I'm thinking about replacing...

I am in need of a backup amp, and was looking at the LH500. My main question is, will it be enough for my band. I play in a rock cover band, and the drummer is loud, and also have two guitars and keys. Will this amp be loud enough? I have a Markbass LT800 and have rarely ever had the...

Hi Guys, Just bought a sick mint green ray34ca. Amazing bass! But, having a slight issue w/ hiss. This happened at practice this past week, and again at my gig last night. After doing some testing this morning, when plugged in to my amp, i noticed that if i touch any part of the scratch...

Hi all! I just purchased a beautiful Olympic White w/ Am Std J Bass that has the Custom Shop 60's pups last week. Rosewood board, and just a great playing bass! However, I have been doing the A/B between it and my Squier Vintage Modified J Bass. From what I can tell so far, the Squier...

Well, after much deliberation, and the wife tearing my head off about coming home with an Ibanez BTB, I have to sell this one. This bass is in mint condition, and I have only had it for 3 months. I bought it new from Zsounds for $899.00. I will ship it with a Roadrunner rectangular case. I am...

Hi, Would anyone happen to know where I can purchase Sandberg basses in the US? I am in Maryland, and I don't think anyone has them here at all. Thanks

I am most likely buying a new cabinet(s) soon. I play in a classic/modern rock cover band, and have two guitars and keys to deal with . What would be the best cab configuration. I have an SWR 115 that I could stack with another cab, as long as you all don't think it is a bad idea. My main...

I am in the market for a new cab, I think... Reason being, I have an older SWR Workingman's 4004 410/115 stack, and whenever I play any type of active bass through it, with the bass boosted on the bass (not the amp), I get this farty sound that rattles my speakers and just sounds horrible...

Well, I just found what I think is a really good deal, and clicked the buy button on ebay for this. It's an 08 with EMG's added, and a BA Bridge. Bought it for $899, and there is a bit of cosmetic issue where the Vol/Tone knobs are, but I can live with that. Does anyone have an opinion on...

Hi Guys, I play in a cover band that does a wide variety of stuff, but mostly rock from the 90's on up. A good mix of classic rock is mixed in too. I currently have a SWR workingman's 4004 410/115 stack, and a Mark Bass LT 800. For some reason, the SWR does really bad with my...
