Gene "Joe" Byrd with Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel It looks like a Gretsch, but the headstock (hard to see, black against a black backdrop) looks different. There's a few decent shots of the headstock around 1:01-1:04. As close to an upright sound as I've heard a fretted bass in a...

Does anybody know FOR SURE what's going on with the Spirit basses? I have an XT-2 that I've had since 2011. It's maple neck-thru with maple wings. Great guitar. I'm thinking of getting a 5-string, so I do some research, since they've since been discontinued and then re-instated. Musician's...

I remember reading somewhere that speaker responsiveness (defined here as the time it takes for the speaker to return to neutral from full excursion) in two otherwise identical speakers is different between the 4ohm and 8ohm versions. I forget which was claimed to be faster (tighter sound?)...

Anybody get one yet? Particularly interested in the 5s (I have one of the older 4s that I love), but also curious about the general sound and feel with Poplar bodies and Grenadilla(?) fretboard. Poplar is lighter than maple, so, neck dive? All I can find about grenadilla is that it's like ebony...

Nice idea, bad implementation. Really hard to get a grip on the plug to pull it out. All my cords are Monster, various plug types, all too short to get a grip. Anybody else have this problem? Solution?

Anybody using this in their rig? Line6 is promoting it with an interview with Abraham Laboriel. I'm sure they're paying him well. Anyone in the real world using it?

So I just took my shiney new Ibanez SR700 out of it's case, and the first thing I discover is a loose input jack. I already feel silly asking, but these things have a recessed jack and a round nut. I'd hate to get in there with the wrong tool and uglify my pretty new bass. Anybody know the RIGHT...

Hi! Old bassist, new to talkbass. Building my dream bass. Using Warmouth stuff. Probably going to use Bartolini pups. But which ones? I mostly play old school stuff (rock & blues), but dabble in funk. Might go active - WTH, dream bass and all - but having trouble finding info on Bart...
