Received the gift of a New Bass Table from a co-worker today. You can tell they do not play bass due to the egregious use of a pick as the table base and the complete absence of tort. 😜 Will make a very nice addition to my music room.

I’m looking for advice. I was the fortunate recipient of a custom built P bass by a luthier who has ventured into building guitars/basses. He didn’t charge me for and wouldn’t let me pay him anything as he said there are plenty of flaws and he’s still refining his skills. So my question is; as a...

Haven’t picked up a new bass in quite a while and wasn’t looking for anything so the fact I’m posting a NBD thread is a surprise for me. Earlier this week, my brother-in-law called to tell me that he was sending me something and that it should be here by the end of the week. As I don’t like...

This makes me sad. Loved watching him play as part of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. He was not on Isbell’s current tour for personal reasons but apparently it needed to be permanent.

We are a Minnesota based band that plays the upper midwest but we have been asked to play a private party in Pittsburgh next July. We need to find some local sound/light production. Our local guy is quoting a huge fee (as you'd expect to haul our normal setup out to Pittsburgh) so we'd like to...

I bring different basses and amps to various gigs depending on size, style of music, specific requirements but the one thing that I bring to absolutely every engagement is my trusty gig bag. It has backups of backups and spare items for most every person I play with and has saved me and various...

Here you have a unique opportunity to own the one, the only, OVNIFX Smoothie (Suave)! But don't take my word for it, here's a review: OVNIFX Smoothie Hook velcro on the back. No box. $175 shipped CONUS. Paypal. These don't last long so get it while you can! This compressor is so amazing, it...

I love when an amp I've lusted after for years falls out of favor and you can find NOS open-box buys for literally pennies on the dollar. (And please, let's not go down the whole TC "watts" thing...I'm well aware and don't care.) I picked this up off Ebay and it is literally a brand new TC...

Just a heads up if you’re considering ordering a strap from Ethos Custom Brands, don’t. It’s been over six months since my order (and two months since Chad Little, the owner personally promised me he would expedite my order...only to go quiet since then) and I have no idea when/if I’ll ever see...

Love the idea of affordable pedals that cross a broad array of effects needs but won’t this design choice be incredibly hard to distinguish on a pedal board or (worst case) a dark stage? Curious if anyone thinks this would be a real world challenge.

My long, national nightmare has come to an end. No. Not the COVID corn teen! You see, I thought I bought the bass of my dreams back in March, just after all the US shutdowns took place. I'd been wanting to step up to a US Lakland 55-94 for years but didn't have the gigs or spare cash to...

Finally done with my "Corn Teen" assembly project. When everything shut down in late March, I decided to assemble a bass with all the extra time I had due to no gigs. I had an old MIM arctic white body lying around, found the chunkiest All Parts (edit) blocked and bound neck and loaded the whole...

NSD! My wife will probably kill me but I finally pulled the trigger on a brand new set of LaBellas from Sweetwater. These are always sooo expensive but the 48 month/0% financing was just the thing to get me to do it. I figure if I pick up two extra gigs a month, I can afford the 73¢ payment...

Lightly used Line 6 HX Stomp. Used it to do some local recording only. Never gigged and still has the protective screen protector in place. Comes with all original packaging. $500 shipped CONUS. Paypal. (Listed in multiple places.)

TEMPORARY PRICE DROP: This is a lot of wireless for $300 shipped conus. It's just not getting used right now as I'm mostly playing on tight stages with little to no room to roam. Lightweight bodypack transmitter + 2 rechargeable battery packs + 1 2xAA battery pack 2 Mogami guitar cables...

As the title suggests, I recently acquired a bass and was going to replace the strap buttons with Dunlop strap locks so I can quickly change basses mid-set without needing to change over all wireless gear attached to my main strap. Well, it appears that the buttons on this bass have been glued...

pock·e·ti·tis (pŏk′ĭ tī′tĭs) n. 1. An ailment brought about by the use of small baglike apparati, usually filled with pockets and other storage compartments, where random pieces of gear are stowed during the haste of teardown, only to be lost for all eternity or until such time that you empty...

Ok, weird question. I've been playing my recently acquired Fender Pro P bass and I'm noticing when the tone control is turned down, notes fretted on the A-string sound flat to my ear but intonation and tuning all check out and are to pitch (A=440Hz). When I open up the tone all the way, it...

An unexpected work bonus and a little tax money and I've bestowed upon myself my first "new" bass in...well...ever. I usually buy low/inexpensive basses, over invest in upgrades, and then sell them for a loss ( :woot: ) but I've been jonesing for a Lakland 55-94 for quite a while and almost...

So I was browsing my local music store's website and noticed they got in a brand new Fender American Elite Jazz in ocean turquoise. After I cleaned up my drool and checked my credit card limits, I browsed the pictures. All I can say is "wow." A $2100 bass and the neck is out of alignment. G...

So I've had the opportunity to hook up with a couple seasoned players whom I respect for an employee "band" for a work event; specifically a guitarist and a drummer. I really respect the drummer who is well known and well used in the area. After our second practice last week, he told me that I'm...

It's mid July so it's time for my annual main thread gig report! (applause) Midnight Radio played our annual pontoon gig yesterday (July 15, 2017) and couldn't have asked for a better day to do it; 93°F, mostly sunny, with a bit of a breeze. This is the third time I've played this particular...

Installing a new dual concentric control plate on my Jazz and this is the "wiring diagram" provided by the manufacturer. It seems that it's backwards between where the bridge and neck are connecting to the pots. It has a parallel/series switch in the middle but I don't think that would require...

...when you see a thumbnail in an online listing and are sure it's a pair of GK cabs...:bored: This is not the "fridge" you're looking for. :D:laugh:

its Memorial Day here in the US. That means it's time to get out and show off your Summer whites! Don't be shy now!

Squier Vintage Modified fretless Jazz neck. Ebanol board shows some cosmetic wear. Does not affect playability. I had a set of black Hipshot tuners on this so you can see a few additional screw holes on the back of the headstock. This will ship with the original Squier tuners as seen in pics of...

TL:DR Booking agent slighted the band based on size and now the band doesn't want the gig. As the primary person who books our gigs, I spend a lot of time finding places, making contact, establishing rapport, and then negotiating for the best possible outcome on both sides. Sometimes it works...

I had the pleasure of seeing Joe Dart and the rest of Vulfpeck on night two of a sold out pair of shows at the legendary First Avenue in Minneapolis last night. I learned a couple things while there: Joe Dart is a monster. We all know this but seeing him live just smacks you upside the head...

I have a thing for old Kramer guitars. The first instrument I ever bought was a 1987 MIK Kramer ZX30 in gunmetal gray with a black pickguard (...the same guitar that was used as a controller for Guitar Hero.) Anyway, I traded that for an MIK Kramer 610 with a Floyd Rose II bridge and have that...

...so I could make the 360 mile roundtrip to pick up this sweet G&L L-2500 Tribute in gorgeous 3TSB with a rosewood board! This was a TB classifieds deal so it's always nice to meet someone from the boards. It came with the bridge mod already in place so I threw it on the bench the moment I got...

As has become customary for me, when the TB zeitgeist zigs, I zag. Picked up a Fender Reverse Jaguar bass because it is likely the most impractical bass around (except for some of those 10+ stringers). I have my run of J's and P's and Ray's and I was looking for something with a little more...

For those of you out there using a virtual presence (eg. website, Facebook page, etc) to help promote your band, how much of your upcoming schedule do you reveal on your pages? We use Facebook events and usually create them as soon as they are scheduled regardless of how far in the future they...

I don't usually get a lot of crazy CL love 'round these parts because there's just not enough volume of people to really draw out the eccentrics but this one struck my fancy. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] TL:DR - We're looking to hire a female who can crank out Adele to Lzzy Hale but we...

I hate when this happens. I guess I'll try to solder it back together and hope for the best!

I've played in a power trio for about 18 months. During that time, I've invested in my own IEM system (Audio Technica M2 w/Westone UM-2's) primarily because we have a loud guitarist/BL (surprise, surprise) and the ear plugs I was using (Earasers) to keep my right ear from going deaf were making...

Still ten more hours before I can go out and play but I'M READY NOW!!!!

So I just picked up a beat to hell 1988(ish?) made in Japan Kramer Forum IV for $99 off of ebay. It's a somewhat local deal and I won't pick it up until Wednesday but I plan to do a ton of clean up, fix the tuner (on order) and volume pot, throw some rounds on it and don my best pair of spandex...
