I saw a Peavey Fury on the local classifieds and initially resisted - I already have a USA fury, what kind of idiot buys two? After a couple of weeks and matching price drops, I gave in and picked it up. Apparently I'm the kind of idiot that buys two... "New" one is on the right (for all...

I picked this USA made Peavey Fury up yesterday afternoon: Lady night the governor of CA issued a 'stay at home' order. I am glad I got this in time for being stuck inside all weekend. I'll still go to work Monday though since we're considered 'essential services' Based on the S/N, I...

For sale locally: I'm glad they posted so many pictures, really let's you make sure there aren't any unexpected blemishes.

So I cruise the local classifieds daily for bass stuff and last night I came across an ad for "3 guitars". They were all brand new Fenders, a couple of teles and a P bass, all had tags on them. I could not tell where they were made or anything like that because there was just one picture with...

Hi all, I recently acquired a squier vm jag that had electronics issues. It was distorting really bad. I narrowed it down to the boost circuit and decided to bypass it. The boost is last in the chain, after the tone pot. I simply clipped and spliced the wires from the tone pot to the boost...

Hi, this is for sale locally but I am wondering if it's a fake: My assessment is based on the bridge type and having 5 knobs. Also looks like the bridge is off center. Any thoughts? I might go play it just to see but the seller is only available early in the morning...

How could I not save it? It was sitting outside, all alone at a yard sale. Owner told stories of having to wiggle the input to get 'er singing. Also had wonkiness with one of the selector pots. I drug it home, cleaned it up and it doesn't look half bad: Plus, its got built in effects to...

This popped up for sale locally. I had heard so many positive marks on them I thought I would give it a shot. So far I'm glad I did. First, some (kind of blurry) pictures: It's in pretty good shape for its age (made in 2005 according to the serial number). Has some scratches and dents...

I started doing some research on building a DIY HPF and I must be missing something. It seems like this is way too simple.... I'm considering putting it in the effects loop of a Fender Bassman 100 combo. The manual says the effects send is 1kΩ. Using the RC High Pass Filter Calculator, I can...

I was trimming some hedges in my back yard and ended up cutting my middle finger on my left hand (I'm right handed). 4 hours in the ER and 8 stitches later, I'm wondering what to do instead of play. I could post pics but I don't think that's what the saying "pics or it didn't happen" means...

This popped up locally. I'm still not sure why but I bought it for $30 The output jack is loose and takes some fiddling to work. None of the pots seem to do anything but it doesn't sound half bad. I only played with it a couple of minutes though. Any ideas on year and model?

Like many of you, I regularly browse local classifieds for bass junk. Lately I have been noticing some wonderful mistakes in the way people are spelling company names I'm sure auto correct is to blame for some but but they all make me chuckle: Ampeq Carlos Robelli Lying by Washburn Llamaha...

Picked up my first 6er on the cheap and didn't want to spend much on strings until I knew I would stick with it. After some light searching I was on a very familiar site thinking "La Bellas for $25? Why not?" They arrived today, and came with.... Talkbass stickers! Two of em! Hats off to the...

ESP LTD B-204sm With spalted maple top. Plays very well, sounds excellent and looks stunning. Does have some nicks and dents but nothing too big. The action is very low right now but easy to adjust to your liking. Open to trades for other bass stuff. Not looking for anything in particular. Can...

Just got this in a trade. It's my first venture into hollow body basses: Seems to be in pretty good shape, save for the missing truss rod cover and peeling leather in the thumb rest. Now to shop for strings. Not sure if I want flats or rounds... Any pointers would be appreciated!

Schecter omen 4 string. Plays very well and is in good condition Has some nicks, I tried to capture them in the pictures. Local sales only for now. I'm in the inland empire, southern California.

I thought this was funny, for sale locally Why even have that handle in the middle? I don't think there are many people who could carry it one handed. Unless it's for the 3rd guy in the middle...

Howdy I got an Hd400 in a trade and have been having fun playing with it. I like the wannabe svt setting the most :) However, I am having some issues that I wanted to see if were common and possibly an easy fix. The synth setting is not working correctly. It is distorted and the volume goes...

Howdy! I have this 90s Korean made Ibanez sr500 that I bought on a whim a few months ago. It plays great and sounds good. I adjusted the truss rod and set the action moderately low. It does have some cosmetic issues (scratches, dents, and chips) but not horrible. Frets show some use but no...

Well used ... And a different kind of 'b' For some reason I really wanted to get a hillbilly geetar. Not sure why but this came up for $40. Bonus: I took it apart to clean and found this gem scribed in the resonator I need to get strings for it but it plays pretty well with the 4 that...

Hi! I'm going to go check out a gibson bass that is for sale locally and I'm wondering what model and year it is. I did a lot of searching but can't find a single cut with that headstock. Any ideas? Sorry for the bad pictures, I'll take more if I buy it

So I recently came upon a ampeg b248 combo in pretty rough shape. For those unfamiliar it has four 8" speakers and a 200 watt amp. I bought it thinking it would be fun to fix and play with but after digging into it a little I'm not sure it's worth the money to fix. The head does work (had to...
