    No longer available Epiphone Rivoli II with Case

    I have a nice playing and sounding Epiphone Rivoli II bass with OHC for sale. I've owned it for about 5 years and have used it for gigs and some recording. There are a few things to call out about it: The headstock has some hazing that is visible in the pictures. It was like this when I...

    SOLD Atomic Bass Box

    I have an Atomic Bass Box with power supply in great condition for sale. I bought it here a few weeks ago and while it's incredibly versatile - especially with the editor software - it's just too much for what I need. I'm only looking to get out what I have into it. No marks on it, nor velcro...

    Epiphone Rivali II 2 pickup wiring

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help as I'm kind of at my wits end. I really like this bass, but I don't know that I've ever put so much work into an instrument. Getting the pickup volume balanced against each other and for each string has been nearly impossible, but I've finally got it pretty...

    Epiphone Rivoli II Reissue questions

    Hi, I'm sure some of these questions have been answered before, but I could not find them looking through search results. If anyone could answer one or more of these, I would be extremely grateful. I just traded for a 1999 Epiphone Rivoli II. It's got great 'bones' (great neck, super...

    Epiphone Casady strap button locations

    Hi, I have a Jack casady bass that I like be very much but can’t use it on stage because of neck dive. ‘Dive’ is too subtle, it’s more like neck plummet. I’ve tried hipshot lites but no help. Tonight I started playing with strap button positions to get the center of gravity balanced. The...

    No longer available Black Lacquer Classic '50s Precision Body

    Bit of a long shot, but I wanted to see if anyone had a Nate Mendel body they'd like to trade for my black lacquer '50s body in great condition. No nicks or anything, just some swirling. Would also sell for $260 unloaded, or make a deal for fully loaded.

    Latest bass build

    I wanted to share my latest build. It's a road worn precision neck, Warmoth body finished and slightly relic'd by a guy on eBay. BadAss II bridge from the '70s, and Seymour Duncan SBP-1 and SJB-1 pickups. The control cavity is tiny, so I ended up just doing a volume for each. Not sure I like...

    SOLD Fiesta Red Road Worn Precision Body

    Unloaded: $290 shipped/pp'd Loaded: $360 shipped/pp'd WD Red Tort Guard: $45 shipped/pp'd or $25 included with either above. Trade offers I love my road worn, and the body is very light, but... I cannot stand the color. I've tried for a while now, and it just doesn't do it for me. What I'd...

    Does this look legit?

    I'm going to look at this today, but not being an expert on 70s precision basses, I was wondering if anyone could see anything about this that jumps out as not being legit? He said he upgraded the bridge to a hipshot, and the pickups to barts. I contacted him but haven't heard back yet. I...

    Jack Casady bass body question

    I see this bass referred to as semi-hollow, but I watched a video in which it was said that it was hollow with a post under the bridge. If anyone could answer whether it has a center block that runs the length of the body vs a post under the bridge, I would sincerely appreciate it. I'm asking...

    Tech 21 SVT settings for stage volume

    My rig is a Fender P, little mark II, a traveler 102p and a Carvin 1x15. I'm in a surf band, and our first show is in January. I just bought a tech 21 SVT v1 to get some grind, and I really like it. But it's such a sensitive pedal that what sounds good at home doesn't necessarily sound good...

    70s Style Bass Build/Assembly

    Since I can't afford an actual 70s bass right now, I decided to assemble one. The Nate Mendel neck bought here from 'The Bass Clef', classic 50s lacquer body from 'Hoffmanj', Fender bridge from 'JazzyItalian'. They are all great to deal with and I really appreciate it! The pickups are Bare...

    SOLD Godin Shifter Classic 4

    I recently got this in trade and while it's a beautiful instrument, the neck just isn't for me. I'm used to wide flat vintage P necks and this is a jazz width and I can't get comfortable with it. The fit and finish is top notch and it has two unique features: it can be strung either top-load...

    I have a like-new Gretsch G5440 LSB with case for sale or potentially trade. I am the original owner and have owned it for about 9 months. You would never know it wasn't new. The case is the only case or gig bag that fits it and was another $180. The bass itself was $899. It has a unique...

    LM II to Traveler 102p cab speakon issue

    As the title says I have a LM II (2007 Italian) and 102p cab (same) that I bought used, and a standard 1/4" speaker cable works fine. I recently bought a speakon cable, and I get no sound when I plug it in. I have researched, including here, but am still kind of stumped. I know that screams...

    Specific questions on MB Traveler 102P vs 151P cabinets (please don't flame)

    I know this type of question is asked constantly, but I couldn't find one that covered a few aspects of mine: I just bought a LM II, and found good deals (exactly the same price) for used 102P and 151P respectively. The band I am intending to use this rig for is hard-core, loud (really loud)...

    SOLD First Gen Kala Fretless U-Bass Spruce Top

    I bought this a few months ago on here, and I really have enjoyed it. But I recently bought a Gretsch and am realizing it can take over what I was using the Kala for in my band. It's the first version without the tuner. This is the fretless version. Absolutely no problems, and a blast to...

    Gretsch bass question... please help

    I just bought a Gretsch G5440 (posted in another thread), and I love it. The tone knob makes absolutely no difference. I mean none at all. On my precision and jazz, the tone knob makes a HUGE difference, so maybe I'm expecting too much, but man, if there's a difference, it's subtle as heck...

    NBD Gretsch G5440LSB

    I've been wanting a hollow/semi-hollow for a while now, but had nowhere to try one. Finally one showed up in a shop nearby. I loved it right away. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the long scale and bigger body, but it's comfortable. The neck is similar to, but beefier than my 50s classic P...

    Opinions on Gretsch 5123, 5440LS and Epi Jack Casady

    I've currently got a P and a J, and I'd like to add a hollow body to my gear. I'm not looking for any feedback on those models, potentially compared against each other. Unfortunately, none of the stores around me carry them, so can't play first. I know they're all quality instruments, so I'm...

    Help evaluate a trade offer...

    If this isn't the right forum, please let me know. I have a recent year Fender Precision Reverb RI and am looking for some new bass gear. A precision is on the short list. I have the PRRI listed on craigslist for $650. I just received an offer to trade for a '96 MIJ precision with a Fender...

    I love the bass

    Just wanted to post some love for this instrument, and know everyone here feels the same way. I started on guitar in my 40s (about 5 years ago). I really enjoy guitar, but never quite felt 'connected'. I always found myself thinking more in terms of melody and percussive rhythm. Since I'm...

    Bass line creation... Feedback wanted...

    Going out on a limb here. I'm in my 40s and I've been playing bass for about a year and a half, mainly just learning songs I liked. I love doing that, but am trying to expand my abilities. I recently joined a newly forming band, and one of the songs we're going to do is Bobby Long's "I'm Not...

    NBD: Classic '60s Lacquer Jazz

    A big thanks to Dustin for hooking me up with this beauty. I really, really dig it. I bought a Classic '50s Precision a few weeks back and loved it so much that I wanted to grab a jazz to go with it. I am thrilled with both of these. Different feel, different tone, but same top-notch quality...

    NBD Fender Classic '50s

    Just got this beauty yesterday. Strung it up with D'Addario Chromes and played it all day. I really love it. The neck is wide, of course, but feels very comfortable. Plays like a dream, even if I don't. :D Shockingly light. I'm guessing it weighs around 8 pounds. It's lighter than my...

    Help me choose a first bass...

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I'm not very good at searching the forum and plus, every situation is different. Okay, so I've been playing guitar for about 5 years and I love it, but I've always had the itch to play bass. My initial desire would be to do some home recording...
