Basically I need a new 5 string for gigging purposes, that should be good enough to record with ideally (running through a Sansamp to juice up the tone for example). What I'm after is a beater, pretty much. Not junk, but not "great" as my budget right now doesn't allow for it. I've narrowed it...

What's the word on these? They seem to be brand new. I've never been very interested in Schecters but I admit I've become quite enamoured with the Stiletto body shape. What's really interesting about this one, aside from the sweet matte finish, is the mono-rail style bridge. That's a feature you...

I just got a new bass (Ibanez SRX500 w/ the 2 open pole humbuckers) and when I play it fingerstyle, or with a pick (tho pick does it less), the bottom string makes a slightly unpleasant "clacking" sound as if the string is coming into contact with the pickup pole. The other strings don't do it...

Former Death Bassist Scott Clendenin Dies at 47 Sad news for us metal bassheads. Scott was a great player who featured on the Sound of Perseverance album, and contributed some impressive playing to the final album from one of extreme metal's most forward-thinking and progressive outfits.

Hey everyone, I am soon going to be getting a new fretless. Right now I'm rocking a passive 4 string Hohner jazz copy. Its not a bad bass, but I want something more lightweight, modern sounding and potentially with active electronics and of course 5 strings. Now there's several things I've got...

I just saw this on eBay and my curiosity was piqued. DIY 5 String Bass SR Style DIY Build Your Own Bass Guitar Kit KBG-5SR-A | eBay I don't suppose anyone has tried one? Ash body, passive, SR body shape (best bass shape ever IMO), looks like it could be fairly promising....its very cheap...

From their new album coming out next month I think. They already put out a song from it that I thought was pretty average, this one is more interesting.I love Sean Malone's playing and he's great in this tune. I don't think they'll ever do better than Focus in my eyes but this is pretty good!

Greetings TB folks, I'm wondering if someone here knows what to do about a little problem. I just recently scored a Hohner fretless Jazz...nice bass, feels good, sounds good and all that. It was second hand but mostly in great shape, minus the expected board wear which isn't much of an issue...

Who here rates Clock DVA's Dean Dennis? Great fretless and slap playing on the classic album "Advantage": Ignore or laugh at the dubious album cover, and enjoy the smokey noir postpunk vibes. Very underrated band and bass player imo.

How do you add a review? For a product that isn't already on there?

While doing my usual scouring of ebay looking at nice basses, came across something very interesting: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RMI-Retrocat-Classic-Series-Jazz-Bass-Black-FRETLESS-/141153915916?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20dd6dd40c#viTabs_0 My first thought is damn...

I've been looking at a fretless Hohner jazz bass on ebay. I think its called a "b bass" or something. The headstock has an unusual "spear tip" look to it. Appears to have an ebanol fretboard. Can anyone tell me anything about the sound and quality of these? There is a little video on youtube of...

Just seen this bass and had a noticeable GAS attack over it. Really dig the way it looks, plus I can't think of any fretless basses that are this affordable and with an unlined neck, would quite like my 2nd fretless to be unlined. I'm also warming up to the idea of going back to passive. Has...

Hello I'm aware this is a subject that's been covered in some detail before, but there are a couple of areas in which my problem is a little different. Recently, my fretless SR300 began making strange crackling/distortion sounds when playing a note. It isn't constant, indeed it seems to...
