    A different white bronco

    Several months ago I bought a Squier Sonic Bronco bass with the intention of learning how to experiment and upgrade. I originally created what I called my "loon bass" and it was cool for a time, but I eventually decided I wanted something a little more understated. The only original parts left...

    Theo Ellis

    I did a search and could find no mention of Theo Ellis anywhere on Talkbass. I am quite surprised because I have recently discovered (late the to game) the band Wolf Alice, who are apparently huge in the UK. I think his bass playing is exactly what I've always strived for without knowing it...

    Fender Mod Shop Wishlist

    I looked for a thread along these lines but didn't see anything (maybe I missed it, I didn't look for too long), though I've seen ideas in other threads. I am curious to know what other people would like to see for more configuration options for the Fender Mod Shop. Yes, I'm well aware of...

    Bronco Mod Day!

    I have recently become enamored by short scale basses after buying a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Mustang. I love the way they feel and I just feel more like me when I play them. So, I picked up a Squier Sonic Bronco in Alpine white a couple weeks ago and was blown away by the quality at the price...

    NBD Shergold Telstar

    I picked up a bass today that I'm willing to bet no one else on talkbass has yet! These were just released earlier this month. From the UK to Wisconsin, here it is, a Shergold Telstar! I switched to short scales pretty recently and when I saw this pop up I thought it looked pretty cool. I...

    Fun Chorus Pedal. I just dont have any need for it anymore and I'm downsizing.

    SOLD Aguilar Octamizer

    Great sounding Octave Pedal. I love trying new pedals, but every time I find myself in a new band or new situation where I am going to need an octave pedal, I always go back to this one. Right now, I am in a downsizing phase, so I'm selling everything except a couple basses, one small combo...

    Hammersmith NBD!

    On Friday my new Hammersmith bass (the blue one) came in! It's been a busy weekend so I'm only now getting to making this post. This my 2nd Hammersmith bass. The 1st one is so good that I thought I needed another. Hammersmith necks are just so good to my hands. The slightly undersized and...

    SOLD Cool Tele-style P Bass $540

    I've had this bass for a while now and while I love the tone, looks, and overall playabilty, I still can't adjust to a slab body. I guess my belly is getting too big... Obviously this is not actually a Fender. If I remember right the body is Warmoth and the neck is AllParts. It's clearly...

    NBD- Hammersmith P4- RPH

    It's finally here! Earlier this week I unboxed my new Hammersmith bass. There's a long story regarding how this bass came to be that spans almost two years but let's focus on this amazing bass! The body is a slightly undersized P shape in Alder. Neck is Maple with Rosewood board and pearloid...

    SOLD EBMM Sterling Classic Powder Blue

    I have a lot of great basses and no band at the moment. However I also don't really need the money, so I am mostly interested in seeing what I might be able to get in a trade for this bass. This guy has the best feeling, playing, and looking neck I have ever seen! I strongly prefer the 2 band...

    TRADED Dragonfly Single Cut P Bass!

    Up for your consideration is this beautiful single cut P Bass. This bass has been sold a few times on talkbass already, so if you are interested, you can see more conversation on it if you search. There is also a You Tube video that demos this exact bass. It really is a great bass, but I just...

    SOLD Hofner Contemporary Series Gold Top PRICE DROP

    I shouldn't do this... This bass sounds great, it's lightweight, it feels awesome, it's somewhat rare, but it's not a P Bass and that's all I've been playing lately. If you like the looks of the Gold Top on this, you will want to snag this one because I looked for a long time before I found...

    TRADED MPG Level 5 Spalted Maple LIGHTWEIGHT 5 string

    SOLD Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 with Matching Headstock

    There is only one reason I'm selling this bass. I need money for a down payment on a new Hammersmith "K" series bass. They haven't even been released yet, but I know I want one! Anyway, I bought this earlier this year. Here's a link to the original FS thread with more pics. SOLD - Musicman...

    No preference between Jazz and Precision size necks?

    I'm just curious if there are players who go back and forth without caring or even noticing a difference between jazz necks with thin nut widths and profiles and big fat P necks. Maybe you care a little, but something else is far more important like neck radius, finish, or fretboard material...

    SOLD Darkglass VMT

    Priced for a quick sale! I love this pedal, but I don't need it anymore. I'll probably buy another one later, but I'm letting this go for now. It has a few dings on the face, but it works perfectly. Oh, I don't have the original box or manual, but I will ship it in another pedal sized box.

    TRADED Fender Custom Shop Proto Precision

    This is such an awesome bass! I certainly don't need to get rid of it. Here's the thing, it definitely has a different sound from a normal P Bass, but it isn't different enough for the equipment I use and I already have a P Bass that I love. I just picked up a Hofner the other day and have...

    Having money in your PayPal account is dangerous

    It was a great Christmas this year. We hosted my extended family, attended a beautiful Christmas Eve service, walked through one of the largest Christmas light displays in the world, and had some great food. Everyone loved their gifts (I have 4 children). I even got some great gifts! I had...

    TRADED MXR La Machine Fuzz

    This a cool Fuzz pedal that I thought I needed. I'm no longer in any playing situations that call for Fuzz, so this has to go. The octave up function is really cool and would perfect for someone wanting to do the "Royal Blood" thing. I'll probably open this up for sale eventually but for now...

    TRADED Aguilar ToneHammer 500 trade for DI

    I have a different amp that I like and most of my gigs are just Sunday worship and it's easiest to just go right into the sound system. I'm looking to trade my TH500 for a nice DI. I'd consider anything from an MXR M80, all the way up to a REDDI. There are some small scratches, but nothing major.

    SOLD American Standard Jazz with P neck

    Just got this in trade a couple months ago for a project I was asked to help with. Well, the project never materialized and I'm not really a jazz bass guy. I Just bought a cool new bass and now I need to recover some funds. I am now open to trades again. Here are some things to keep in mind...

    SOLD Earthquaker Devices Arpanoid

    this is a really fun pedal! Fun modulation. It can actually do a pretty good octave pedal impersonation, too. I don't want to get rid of it, but I have something else I need to raise funds for quickly, so I'm selling cheap! These are $225 new. I will sell for $175 Shipped CONUS

    SOLD EHX 360 Looper

    This is an easy to use looper, which is exactly why I bought it. Unfortunately, I'm just not using it. I just bought this new for $90 a few weeks ago. I'll let it go for $65 Shipped.

    Show me your all rosewood necks!

    I was just watching a video demoing the new Ernie Ball St Vincent signature guitar (gasp) and I was reminded of how much I love the look of all rosewood necks. The chocolate-y goodness look of them makes me want to jump through my screen and lick them. Lol. Anyway, now that you think I'm a...

    TRADED MJT P Bass in Lake Placid Blue

    I just had a deal fall through that involved me trading this bass for another one. I already had it all packed up, so I figured I would leave it that way and see if anyone else has what I need. Ideally, I would like a precision body and neck with Jazz pickups. I'm not interested in the squier...

    NPD x2

    I got two new pedals today! The first is a familiar one. Most everyone knows about the awesomeness that is the Darkglass VMT. Well, now I do too! The second pedal is this weird "Peach Fuzz" designed for guitar, but very heavy in the lows and low mids. It's a very thick sounding fuzz with...

    SOLD Source Audio Manta Filter

    This is a fun pedal that I just don't use anymore. Truthfully, it's just a little too complicated for me. It does a lot of really awesome things. So many that I get overwhelmed now that I'm not gigging and don't have a specific sound I'm trying to achieve. Anyway, I'm cool with a sale or...

    Birth year basses

    i know lots of TBers like to get a vintage Fender or Rickenbacker from the year they were born. Even better if it was made the same month they were born! That's a really cool idea for guys born in the 50s, 60s, and even early 70s, but what about guys like me born in the 80s? Specifically...

    Another boring NBD thread...

    yesterday I took delivery of this new beauty. You might remember I recently posted a NBD thread concerning my amazing Fender Custom Shop '51 p bass that my wife surprised me with. I have loved every minute I have been spending with it so much that I decided to "downgrade" my bass collection...

    TRADED 90s MIM Jazz Deluxe with Suhr electronics, p neck

    Here I have a nice 90s Suhr era MIM Jazz for sale. This was my first serious bass and has been played out a lot. I have sold this bass twice and bought it back each time... It is active and these pickups really sound great, IMO. The original Jazz neck warped pretty badly, and I like P necks...

    For sale here is a fender cabronita bass with an added chrome pickup cover. This one hurts a little to let go because it is such a blast to play. The neck is my favorite non-custom shop neck fender makes. There are two small dings that I did my best to show in the pics. I also (poorly)...

    SOLD Danelectro Longhorn Seafoam Green

    For sale is a very nice Danelectro Longhorn in seafoam green. I'm not sure if that's the official color name, and it actually looks more blue to me, but I don't see colors too well. This is a first year reissue which is considered by many to be the best ones. Still has the funky wooden bridge...
