I live in Colorado. At times we see smoke, sometimes close enough to drive by
I’d be remiss if this wasn’t mentioned:
The U.S. Wildland Fire Service is devastated to share that three wildland firefighters lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, as part of an interagency response to the Knowles...
Pretty sure there’s a group of us here that play guitar and have a thread. Seemingly didn’t find it
There’s a used Yamaha Pacifica DLX HSS here locally used
What’s the verdict on these?
Looking to cut down a Precision neck into Jazz bass specs. Mostly because good necks are impossible to find anymore
FWIW I like the Aerodyne Necks and also the Pro I Jazz necks with the tall thin frets
Also a big fan of the way the American necks are built and the tuners.
I’ve read some and...
Returned from the mountains and I now have this:
Looked through settings and I didn’t find what was causing that
When I switched to 2014 dark, Everything switched back to the proper alignment
only does it on Dark mode
I purchased a 2018 American Pro I Jazz bass in November of 2018. Great bass, particularly love the neck
I’ve swapped through Fender, Daddario, and EB Slinky’s for rounds (pink bag probably my favorite)
Currently running EB Cobalt Flats
I don’t hate the pickups, obviously they’ve made it this...
Most of the last month I've only been learning songs by one band. I'm contemplating trying a new band each month and trying to learn that way
Anyone have any new or fun ideas for keeping things fresh or lively?
The conversation about tone wood. Yes again. In a recent thread here, there was a discussion about Dano construction
So which composite in a Dano has the best tone, Formica or Masonite?
Anyone following the Moto Quad entry 741x?
he bought a used bike in San Diego, rode it to La Paz Mex and entered the Baja after scrounging used parts to pass tech…

Who besides GHS makes a compressed NPS string?
I like the sound of worn out slinky’s, but I didn’t see those from EB unless I missed them on their site
It typically takes me a year to get them good and dead, I don’t have sweaty or acidic hands
Used the search button, came up with a 14yo thread which had some info
Curious if anyone has actual experience rolling the edge of the fret board after the neck has the frets installed?
In the spirit of starting late and reusing things....
This is a redo of where I started. Might not get finished. So let’s see

From here:
Winter Build off 2022 - ThunderJag
2021 model year, wearing some black silked flats, through a Rumble 100 (biggest amp they had)
came away feel very unimpressed
What am I missing here? I’ve had other P basses, but this one won’t be one of them
This is the build that wasn't planned. Like, at all. I have been building a bass in my mind for about 7 years, finally have some of the elements in place to make a go at it, starting ordering parts.
I don't have a planer, jig, or band saw. So my choices are limited to what I can get in there
I...
Don’t expect much!
Working on refinishing this VM Jazz
Stripped the poly and used water soluble stain. Lots of 0000 steel wool action after lots of 60 grit
Last year they cancelled the HS basketball tournament with 4 teams left. My two older girls were to cheer at that game. That was a dominant team, that likely would have won
My 3rd kid is a senior this year and a cheer captain. They had the opportunity to go to the State finals for the school...
Looking for and electric guitar, as a way to learn more about music.
Something not super expensive, but also not a throw away
We have some acoustics around here, and not interested in them tonally
Daughter has a Epiphone LP studio. Its not bad, but maybe it's a tad too bright (Hey I'm a bass...
I was talking to my local rep at the GC. He said that during their furlough, none of the employees in that store missed a paycheck
Say what you want about GC, whatever various ownership.
Pretty decent those folks got pay checks while the doors were closed
Yes, the guess the unknown string thread
Purchased used beater bass with said strings
Clues:
Stainless, unplated. While the gages measure .045/.065/.080/.100”, all my other basses also measure those exact numbers and are known .085/.105”
Gold plated ball ends
Expressive but not bright or...
But this was in the box
Might need some help understand or getting the perfect EQ
And yes I did clear my karma and notify the retailer. They said Merry Christmas
Hey all
Looking for a cab(s) appx $800 USD, to run a SVT-CL into at 4 ohm total
Not opposed to 2 cabs, but want to maintain the sound quality
LOVE, but no space for the Fridge
The cab I really like is the SVT-410HE (8 ohm)
Ampeg SVT-410HE 4x10" 500-Watt Bass Cabinet
Already ready through...
Gently used
$90 shipped CONUS, wiring complete, unused screws. Will need a new growing lug crimp (wiring trimmed out of old bass)
No trades, selling to get complete GZR PJ set
Thanks for looking
Ok, I'll post up some pics, and maybe someday I'll make some more progress on it
Promised the wife I'd finish this before I built a bass. I've really nailed down some of my ideas for the bass, and am still fussing over this mess. Started it 6 years ago...
Should look kinda like this, added...
Maybe some folks here would care to elaborate, even empirically if necessary:
I see cool cars, tools, trucks, the forbidden items, et al, but don’t get the same “GAS” type response that I do looking at basses or amps
Anyone else feel the same way?
Don't see or hear much about these, other than a few float though the classifieds. Price on them seems reasonable for the build quality.
Any more info on these from TB land?
