I got this Steinberger XT-25 about a month ago and set it up with the Labella double ball flats. The bass sounds great and is very comfortable to play with no neck dive, especially with the Mod-Rod strap extender. The B string has plenty of punch. I just got the Peavey Max 300 yesterday and man...

Hey all, I am trying to learn the bass part to Red by Crimson Jazz Trio (not the King Crimson version). I can figure out most of it but there is a part near the end where they play in "Swing Mode" and the bass player goes into a walking bass mode. I can't for the life of me, figure out the...

Hey all, I recently submitted an inquiry to GK regarding the MBP112 and MBP115 powered cabs. Here is the reply for those interested. ;)

Things have been crazy this last few months so I thought I would post these again for a few laughs. Enjoy. Happy Easter/Passover.:)

Hey all, I just bought an Ibanez SRF505F 5 string fretless bass. So far I am in love with it. Can't believe how light it feels. My question is this. This is my first time with a piezo pickup and I am at a loss as to how to set my amp which is a Rumble Stage 800. I know this amp has a ton of...

I am trying to put together a Reggae Worship service for my church. The first song we want to do is "Give Thanks and Praise" by Axx of Jahpostles. I don't understand the Jamaican slang and am having a very difficult time writing down the lyrics. Any Reggae musicians out there, can you please...

Just got this beauty from Bass Central in Orlando FL. I have wanted a USA made Fender fretless bass for a long time now. After watching every video on YouTube and reading every review which raved about this bass, I pulled the trigger. I am loving this bass. The thicker P neck is just right for...

Hey all. Is anyone using a Peavey Max 250 combo. Are you satisfied with it? At 150 watts RMS, will it keep up with a drummer, keys and guitar in a small to medium venue playing classic rock, 80s new wave or reggae. Just curious as to how loud it really is. I have tried the 210 models and do not...

I saw this on facebook. Thought you all might enjoy it. Good for a few laughs. :D:roflmao::laugh:

Does anyone use an electric upright bass for Rockabilly/Psychobilly. I plan on ordering a NS Design Wav4 EUB next week and am curious if it would work for this genre. I don't plan to slap. What are your thoughts?:)

Hey all, I recently noticed that Reverb is no longer listing UPS as a carrier for shipping. Just FedEx and USPS. I am disappointed as UPS was always the lowest cost and the service was quite satisfactory of late. Anyone have any ideas? :whistle:

With all that is going on in the world, I felt a little humor would be welcome. Enjoy. :laugh::roflmao::D

I have used Reverb many times in the past 10 years or so and until last month, never had to deal with this. I just want to warn the membership about another obvious scammer. :rollno: Hi! My name is Christina. Is this sitar still available? From the pictures I've seen so far, I think I like it...

This is a first for me. I have an instrument for sale on Reverb and was contacted by someone who wanted to buy it right away and couldn't wait to get their hands on it. This is the message: Hey! I was searching for equipments for my new band setup and came across this, I think I love it already...

I have been contemplating trying an electric upright bass for a long time now and I finally pulled the trigger on a NS Design Wave4 bass with a Hartke KB15 amp. My only question now is why I waited so long. This has a nice fat neck and is sooooooo comfortable and fun to play with NO weight on my...

Please check out this Craigslist ad. I think the price is outrageous. I know someone will pay it because it is a true vintage USA Fender but $5,000, Seriously?:eyebrow: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Hey all, I am finally able to start playing bass again after a 16 month recuperation from some tendonitis issues in my hands.:D I am looking at a 4 string fretless and being on a fixed income, I don't want to spend more that $800. I am looking at the Squier 60s Vibe Fretless Jazz and also the...

Just got home with my new pride and joy. I don't know what kind of strings it has, the luthier who set it up said they were a high end set ( possibly Thomastiks) supplied by a customer who flaked on the purchase. His loss, my gain. I have supplied some photos and if someone can identify the...

Hey all, I am looking at the G & L tribute jazz basses and would like to replace the fretted neck with a Fender Pau Ferro fretless neck will fit the G & L tribute body. Will it fit a USA body? Thanks for any input.;)

Hey all, I was just noodling around and I started playing "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen. It dawned on me that the baseline literally IS the song and not just backup or foundation. In essence, the whole song is built around a unique baseline. So how about it. Can you name some other songs...

A great way to start the New Year. New Steinberger Spirit with Labella Stainless Steel Flats and a new Fender Rumble V3 200 115 combo. I tried this amp at my local GC along side the new Peavey Max 250. The Fender was far superior to the Peavey in sound and quality. I set the Peavey at 3/4 gain...

Hey all, I have an opportunity to purchase a brand new in the box Peavey Max 250 bass combo amp at a price I can afford. Is there any one with experience with this combo. I know that Fender gets a lot of love but right now it is out of my price range. I don't want to go used. So what say you? Is...

I have a 6 year old well used bass for sale. The truss rod is very tight to adjust and may be at maximum adjustment due to the higher tension of the stainless steel flat wounds that were recently mounted. Right now, the bass is perfectly adjusted and intonated and plays great. I am concerned...

I just got this beautiful 2013 fretless Steinberger Spirit with active EMG pickups and fitted hard case off CraigsList for a very good price. I've been looking for a good deal on a Steinberger Spirit for several years now and when I saw this was fretless, I wasn't about let it slip away like I...

Hey all, I am looking into purchasing an acoustic bass guitar 34" scale for church and am curious if, instead of bronze strings which I don't like, if I can use D'Adarrio light gauge chromes 45-100. Tape wounds are too soft and I use chromes on electric bass. Will a Dean EAB handle the chromes...

Dean Edge 1 5-string bass guitar in Vintage Natural Satin finish. Has single passive DMT pickup, 34” scale rosewood fretboard, medium frets, volume and tone controls and is strung with D’Addario light gauge chromes. CrossRock hybrid gig case, 18’ cord, Glove Leather Strap, Snark Tuner and Guitar...

With so many people suffering with the bitter cold weather of late, I thought I would post this to interject a little humor. Enjoy.:D:laugh::roflmao::smug:

I just read that Peter Shelly just died of a heart attack. Peter cofounded the Buzzcocks and also had a solo career. I remember his big hit, "Homosapien", on the alternative rock station in Boston back in the day. Another classic artist gone to Rock 'n Roll Heaven. RIP brother. :crying:

She was the undisputed Queen of Soul. There will never be another like her. Rest in peace your Majestey, you are now in good company. A great loss of a great performer who will be very much missed.:crying:

Here is my new pride and joy. I have been wanting to try either a 12 string or an 8 string bass so I bought a used Dean Edge 8 for an excellent price a couple weeks ago. I instantly disliked the DR coated rounds that were on it so today, I had my luthier restring it and set it up with D'Addario...

Hey all, I'm curious about the 12 string basses like the Dean Rhapsody and the Hamer. Anyone have experience with them. Are they heavy (over 10lbs) and are they physically hard to play? How useful are they for hard rock. I know Tom Peterson of Cheap Trick developed the 12 (4X3) system and uses...

Here is my brand new Engelhard EM1. This is my second try at DB. The first was last spring with a Knilling Bucharest. It was heavy, awkward with a fat neck and Tomastik strings. I have chronic tendonitis in my hands and the Knilling was just too much for my hands so I had to give it up and sell...

Can anyone identify this acoustic bass. It is used by a band called Magic and are playing unplugged in this YouTube video. It's a beautiful sounding bass but he has the name covered over. Maybe the logo on the headstock will provide a clue. Here is the video link:

I recently picked up this Dean EAB Acoustic Bass Guitar at the local Sam Ash. My BL came with me to play acoustic guitar and see if it would work. It did and we plan to busk next month. It is surprisingly comfortable to play finger style. Pick style will take some getting used to. I had it set...

I just got this old Knilling made in Bucharest last week. It has an ebony fingerboard, Thomastik strings, adjustable bridge and pickup. I don't know how old it is. The serial number is 45361. I contacted Knilling in USA and they could not tell me the age. I got it from a respected luthier here...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum as I am new to this side of TB, being a former electric bass guitar player. It has been said that you can not transport a 3/4 DB in a Smart Car. Well I own a Smart Car and just purchased an old Knilling Bucharest 3/4 DB and yes Virginia, you can carry it in a...

Hi all, I just purchased an old Knilling Bucharest 3/4 upright bass with an ebony fingerboard, adjustable bridge and TI strings. It was properly setup by a very reputable luthier after he removed the strings to do some cosmetic work. I don't know the age of the bass or the strings. I have been...

Just got my used MIM PBass from GC used gear site along with a powered extension speaker for my amp. I added a new white pearloid pickguard and chrome bridge cover and had it setup with new D'Addario flatwound chromes. I now have matching 15" speakers, each putting out up to 200 watts. At 1/4...

I am shipping a bass guitar across the country via Fedex. It does not have a hard case or a gig bag. I have heavy gauge cardboard to construct a box with a neck support to properly fit it and will wrap the entire bass in multiple layers of bubble wrap. The bass will not be able to move around...

I recently posted a photo of my first 4 string fretless bass. Unfortunately I had some problems with it and had to return it. I decided to replace it with a 5 string fretless. I had no problem transitioning to fretless from a fretted 4 string PBass, so it should not take too long to get used to...
