Paul Bryan (amazing musician) is playing this lovely white offset bass on Amee Manns Tiny Desk and I wonder if any resident experts here can ID it for me? you'l need to skip to the 4:00 mark. thanks!

Hey y’all. I’ve had MIM jazz basses before one my of favs was a 98. Anyway I have a chance to get a 2008-2009 jazz in a trade but I won’t get to play it first so….. any general feedback on that era of MIM fender ? Thanks!

second time this year I've gone into town to get something and ended up coming home with another bass. I gotta stay off the local classifieds lol. scored a 2012 precision in great shape(mim), hardcase, and a rumble 15 practice amp for $225usd.

drove into the city today to replace my aging and well loved miter saw and foolishly thought…. "I should check the local instrument listings, you know, just in case" . Oops. scored a sweet 2001-2002 MIM in fantastic shape, no fret wear at all. Gotoh bridge (looks like a 201) and a nice...

hi all! happy holidays and happy new year! quick recap I got my first bass recently which is a cheap plywood bass and though I bought it used, it was never setup (still has shipping string, very high action etc). I got my new strings (spirocore, not yet installed) and found a luthier to...

hola. so someone I know is offering me one of these pedals as trade for one ratty old SM58 from my collection of ratty old 58s but I'm not sure what I'd really use it for? Anyone here use this pedal? does it do anything particularly well? thanks!

hi all. I just got my first bass, and I started a thread in the general forum with all my newbie questions etc (and got so much great info!), and I started a thread in the strings forum about strings (and on that advice got spirocore mediums) but I have bridge/setup questions and I think I...

HI all. so I"m getting new strings for my first bass and I have limited options due to my location. currently a choice between daddario helicore pizzicato LIGHT tension OR Spirocore S42 MEDIUM tension. From what I have already read (and advice given here in another thread) it would seem...

hi all. I have been wanting to get a DB for years. I briefly engaged with the quixotic quest for "things that sound like a DB but aren't" (aka Ubasses, acoustic bass guitars, tape wound on a short scale bass guitar etc etc) and yeah , turns out nothing sounds like a DB except for a DB. I...

I've used the old style schaller locks and basses and guitars for years. They worked well enough with the exception of a few annoying design issues ( nut hard to screw tight and would come undone from time to time, bit of a rattle, post too short for thick leather straps). Saw they had a...

Hi! ok I really did search and I really did read all that I found, but I'm still going to ask...... Bass is a G&L fallout short scale for years I have run daddario tapes on my other short scale bass (thumpy goodness on the gretsch) and I'm generally happy with the tone and tension, but...

from world famous to never heard of them.... who is working today that you're feeling.... lately I'm really digging on... Michael League Christian McBride (ok been a big fan for a long time). Chris Wood.

hey all. a fellow I know (good engineer at a studio in Germany) has been raving to me about his tracks though this box (not just bass, but vox, keys etc) and the stems he sent sounded pretty great (though I'm sure they also went though $$$ comps etc), and I'm wondering if anyone here has been...

reposting as I failed to read the forum rules closely (sorry mods, fixed my status). friend of a friend has to sell his gear in desperation and I'm trying to help him out. wondering what a fair price would be in USD for a 2008-2009 MIM fender P in petty much as new condition. Looks like...

I know the correct answer to this question (play them and make up my own damn mind) but..... it's been too long since I had a P-bass and due to my location I can't play anything before I buy it. Of course good deals abound with used gear, but for my situation and budget I'm prob better off...

I was chatting with another bass player friend recently and she mentioned that had recently broken a string, and has broken many strings over her career as a working musician. I've been playing bass for about 30 years and I've never once broken a string (and I have basses with strings i kept...

hi all. new bass, don't love the pickguard, would like to have a new one made. I see a bunch of places online that do it, hoping someone here can recommend one over another? thanks!!

so this is likely an actual stupid question but here goes... Is there any way that I can tune a Mexican Tololoche upright bass to a standard EADG tuning? I'm not an acoustic bass player ( probably obvious) but I'm trying to get some sort of practical acoustic bass for an upcoming project and...

hola, anybody using the barefaced super compact 12" cab with the quilter bass block 800? I am playing a tour soon with a small but loud trio and seek physically smaller rig to match the logistics. currently using fender rumble 500 v3 combo with this group and I like the sound of it, but it's...

hey all replacing my recently deceased GK mb112-ii with the rumble 500 combo. played one a few weeks ago on a loan and was really impressed. anyway I have to ship it around a bit and I found a pelican case that'll fit fine, but it'd be either face up or face down. is one better than the...

sorry if this has been discussed to death already. just picked up the new mb112 combo (hats off GK sounds great) but it's clear I'm going to need more output. it looks like the 112 powered cab is only slightly cheaper than a second combo. I don't mind a few extra cables or a split so...

ordered one of these but for the life of me cannot find online the overall length of the instrument. I've emailed gretsch but they just ignored me. I'm going to have to pickup a road case for it ( many flights coming up) but will only have a day maybe two between receiving the bass and flying...
