    A gauge down

    Just ordered my first set of 40-100 from bassstringsonline (shameless shout out). I'm pretty stoked. I'm planning on getting my jazz bass set up with the light gauge strings and sticking the set of 45-105s I bought on to old reliable (my p-bass). What has everyone's experience of dropping a...

    SOLD Audere JZ3 3-band preamp

    Hey guys, I've got a lightly used Audere JZ3 preamp up for sale. Sadly, active basses are just not my thing so I figured I release this back into the wild to get the proper appreciation she deserves. No mounting screws, box, or instructions I'm afraid, but still a killer drop in preamp for a...

    NBD: American Standard P-Bass

    I lost 2 to gain this 1. Totally worth it. It's a 2008, Candy Cola, and in minimally mojo'd condition (couple of love taps). Everything is stock except the pickguard (first thing I replaced after purchase). Need to string it with some black beauties and she'll be ready to rock and roll. The...

    Options..Options.. WWTBD?

    So I find myself in the midst of some first world problems. I've got about $650 to blow on a bass and have decided with finality that I want a p-bass. My options are as follows 1: Order in a new MIM Standard with a maple board in LP Blue (and promptly replace the white pickguard with a black...

    SOLD Feeler: MP Jaguar w/mods

    Hi guys. Not sure if I'm going to regret this or not but here goes. Putting a feeler out for my Modern Player Jaguar. I got this on here a few months ago but it didn't quite scratch the itch. Overall condition is pretty stellar. I never say 100% mint but pretty close. I'm looking to trade this...

    Question: Buzz issues

    Hi all, To start, please forgive my relative ignorance when it comes to bass electronics. I can play 'em but really don't know much about wiring. That said, I got a bass (MP Jag) in the mail that has an Audere JZ3 3-band preamp in it. Upon plugging it in, I noticed a pretty loud buzzing...

    NDB: MP Jaguar

    So, I've been on a big Fender kick as of recent and decided I really wanted a Jaguar. That said, I also had a hankering for something that could deliver a P-bass tone. That said, I really wanted to try something active. With all that in mind, you'd can imagine how excited I was when this little...

    SOLD FS/FT Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass

    I have this export version Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass up for sale. Looks and sounds really slick. This beauty is REALLY light and plays like absolute butter. I like it a lot but I'm trying to scale my collection back considerably. One ding up on the top of the headstock that I covered up with...

    SOLD FS: Fender Aerodyne J and Warwick Corvette Standard

    Hi guys, These two beauties are up for sale. Figured I'd let the pics on the ads do the talking for me. First up in the CIJ Aerodyne Export Model. As described in the ad, plays like an absolute dream. Link Removed Next up is this MIG Warwick Corvette. Not sure of the exact age of the body...

    Thinking of downsizing my collection

    Hey guys, I'm positive this has come up before but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion. I'm seriously considering getting rid of most of my basses (read most, not all). I recently bought a Fender Jazz and don't really use anything else anymore. It just seems to fit the bill for most anything...

    NBD: Jazz Content Ahoy

    Sooooo...here's a day I never thought would come. I traded my Warwick Corvette Fretless for this beast (and some cash). It's a 2012 Standard Series Jazz bass and MAAAAN OH MAAAN does it play/sound/look slick. Couldn't be happier with the trade (and the bonus cash). I see some replacement pups...

    Buying used: Check, re-check, then check again

    So, as it says in my sig at the moment, I've got a bass I'm looking to get rid of. I decided to bring it down to the local used electronics store (I hesitate to say pawn shop because they actually hold the local dealer licenses for ESP, Hartke, Washburn, and a few other decent brands) and see if...

    SOLD FT: My MIG Fretless Warwick Corvette for your MIJ/CIJ Fender (or something :P)

    Hi Guys, I got this bass on here about a year ago. Unfortunately, the project I was going to use it for fell through and it's been a closet monster for the last 6 months or so and I figure it's time to hand this off to someone who will use it. That said, it's a Made in Germany fretless Warwick...

    SOLD FT/FS Feeler: Warwick Corvette Standard fretless (bubinga)

    Hi guys, I'm not entirely sure the fretless experiment is over but this is just being ignored. I've had her for a little more than a year (bought from another tber) and she's been a closet dweller for almost 6 months now. Originally bought for a project that fell through. I dig fretless but...

    Audition disaster (or why I don't get kids these days)

    So I auditioned with a local "technical death metal" group last now. As you can probably ascertain from the title, it didn't go so great. Leading up to last night, communication with one of the members was fine. They didn't have any real material aside from some cheap recordings and youtube...

    Retrofit tuners for Aerodyne Jazz Bass

    Leaning toward the Hipshot HB7s but would prefer not to have to drill new holes (I know this is probably a stretch). Does anyone have any experience installing new tuning keys on their Aerodyne?

    Bridge Swap for an older Aerodyne Jazz

    Hi Guys, I have one of the 04-05 model Aerodyne Jazz Basses and I was wondering what bridges (besides Fender stock) would work in the socket without having to do much in the way of modding the bass. The Fender stock bridge is fine, I'm just not a fan on the pre-aged chrome look and what to...

    Nbd: Aerodyne Jazz

    Well, this was kind of unexpected. Traded an older Ibanez and a Washburn acoustic/electric for this plus some cash on a whim. So far, I likey. Very slick playing and looking bass. Could this be the start of a new love affair with Fender?

    Do new basses inspire you?

    Just wondering. I have yet to figure out the question for myself. I think there's a definite novelty (and who doesn't love a NBD) but do you compare getting a new instrument to making a new lifelong friend or picking up a new hacksaw at Home Depot?

    Turning down an audition nicely...

    Hi Guys, So I'm in the midst of turning down an audition for a number of reasons. The foremost reason is that, for some reason, my spider sense is really tingling with this band. The second reason is... their name. It's really dumb and sophomoric. If they were a crust punk band it might be...

    SOLD FS/FT Ibanez RB690 Roadstar Series II

    Hey. Selling my trusty RB690 from 1986. Bass has been gigged and bumped around over the last few years but it plays like butter (including pic of a ding by the neck but can assure you, it doesn't inhibit playability in the least). I'm selling to fund my next Warwick but I'll certainly miss her...

    SOLD FS/FT: Yamaha BBN5

    Selling my Yamaha BBN5. It's in pretty decent shape with a few well-earned gig bumps. Sounds amazing, very well constructed, and quite the sturdy beast. Will be shipped in a gig bag within a bigger box or I can go out and get a HSC for a little more. I'm located in New Brunswick in...

    Squier P/J

    I have the opportunity to pick up a Red Squier P/J Pbass for $50. Seems to be in working order. Don't know that it would be anything more than a deal sweetener for trades, but still, $50 is $50. Thoughts?

    FT/FS: Korg AX1B

    Selling my Korg AX1B w/ generic adapter. Nice little piece of equipment but I just can't seem to get a feel for multi-effect pedals. Asking $100 $80 + shipping negotiable but I'm happier to trade for something cool. Nothing really in mind, just PM and we'll see what we can work out. Cheers.

    Hey guys, To make use of my brand spanking new supporting membership (that only took a decade), I'm offering two fairly radical basses. The first is an Ibanez RB690 from 1986. It's all black, finished neck and plays like a dream. Pretty light weight and somewhere in between a jazz and a...

    Getting low balled

    Hey guys, So I took a few basses in to the local second hand shop today to see if they'd do a trade on an Ibanez Rb690 and Yamaha BBN5 for a Modern Player Jazz. So the guys last night made me a somewhat low offer that still resulted in me having to pay 100 bucks for the Jazz but said the...

    FSC Corvettes

    I haven't seen many threads dedicated to this (I may just not have looked..at all..) but I'm just gonna go ahead and be a hippy for a minute.

    Do you hang on to your basses for sentimental value

    Hey guys, I was just playing my old Ibanez RB690 and I realized that ever since I got my Warwick, the old girl is just kind of something I beat around the house. It was my main bass from 04 until this year but has gone virtually ignored since I got the Warwick. I then looked at my collection...

    Dr. Xenon Ishikawa Bass Solo

    Funky as hell. This dude is the bass player from Seikima-II, an absolutely phenomenal Japanese metal band (and probably my favourite band period). Check out their other stuff! Shame these guys don't tour more regularly than they do. Anyway, enjoy! :bassist:
