To celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, my wife and I are thinking of buying each other something really nice and I'm leaning towards a new bass. I'm 37 now and I've wanted to order a Carvin/Kiesel for over 20 years, but have never pulled the trigger. I spent countless hours with those paper...

I just moved to Minnesota and stopped into the local GC. I tried out a bunch of basses, mostly Ibanez and Fender as I like both (for different reasons). I noticed this new semi-hollow SR on the wall and decided to give it a try. I don't know if it's the model, or I just got a good one, but...

I'm building a project fretless bass. I've got a padauk/ebony precision neck from Warmoth and I'll likely be pairing it with a chambered walnut precision body with a maple top. I'm thinking of going with a single bridge pickup and I'm leaning towards a humbucker of some kind. However, I'm...

I have an incredible Fender USA standard precision bass that I love, but I really want a PJ set-up. I'm wondering if it's better to sell the bass and buy a PJ loaded bass, or simply install a jazz pickup. I'm concerned that if I mod the bass, it will affect the resale value down the line...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I'm super intrigued with this bass. My first ever "quality" bass was an Ibanez Soundgear and I've always liked the design. However, aside from a very rare/odd "Ashula" bass that I had for a while, I've not had an SR for a long time. I like the feature set...

A few weeks back, I picked up my first USA made Fender bass and I've been inspired to share a few thoughts. I've been playing bass and guitar as a hobby for over 20 years and I've had a variety of basses over the years including several Ibanez, a Rickenbacker, a Fender PBass Lyte Deluxe, etc...

I've just inherited a chunk of money and while the majority of it will be dutifully spirited away into reasonable investment, I've decided to treat myself to a new bass. Nothing extravagant, but I'm thinking somewhere under 2k and closer to 1k if possible My immediate thought was to order a...

I'm selling my rare Ibanez Ashula bass for $700 shipped. SOLD!

I played an awesome American Special P bass at Guitar Center a couple of days back and I was smitten. It was the ltd. ed. one with a hand rubbed honeyburst lacquer finish. Basic specs are alder body w/ lacquer finish, all maple neck and just the single Precision bass pickup. I've got at...

OK, I don't spend a ton of time on here and I may be posting in the wrong area, but I'm looking for music recordings that are bass oriented. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what I want, but as both a guitar and bass player, I find it hard to find recordings where bass is prominent the way that...

Considering the Peavey Max 158 vs Ampeg BA108 and hoping to hear from someone who has used both or just the Peavey. I know the Ampeg is pretty popular and I might just go for it. However, I actually prefer the specs on the Peavey (onboard tuner, 1/8" input, lighter/smaller). Let me know...

I've got a Peavey Combo 300 amp in my garage which I'm currently playing both guitar and bass through very happily (despite a couple quirks), but the thing is a monster in size, weight and volume, so I don't move it. It's just there for jamming with friends and band practice. I'm looking for...

Ok people, I need some help deciding what to pick up here. I'm looking at purchasing a new combo amp to use for practice, rehearsal and hopefully small gigs. I'm very interested in the Warwick BC80 which seems to have the features I want (including a good deal of mid-range flexibility)...

Well, the title says it all really. I'm assuming a PJ set in a neck through bass should get me close. I've got a Yamaha BB1200S and I think the bass is a perfect platform for getting this tone, but I know I need to add a J bass bridge pickup . . . The question is, which one? I've been...

Price Change! $450 plus shipping with no case! OK guys, it took me some pondering to make this decision. I picked this one up recently not knowing what it was. I absolutely love the feel and playability. It has an unrivaled growl and resonance with the neck thru construction. However...

OK people, I'm brand new here. Started off as a bass player when I was 14 and played all through high school, then migrated to guitar which is now my main instrument. However, I still have a couple basses and I love playing bass. For ages, I've loved the bass sound on recordings by The...
