This is not a midlife crisis bass. It is a midlife-actually-things-are-going-pretty-well bass. I have wanted a Rickenbacker 4005 for years, but the vintage market was painfully expensive. I did get the 4005XC when they released it a few years ago. It is a nice bass, but quite different from the...

For sale is a Fender B-34 Bullet Bass Deluxe. Made in USA. Sounds great and plays well. There are some dings and dents, but overall it looks good for a bass that is over 40 years old. The price is low because there is one significant problem, which is that the truss rod does not seem to be...

This is a 2015 PRS P245 semi-hollow. I believe this color is called Royal Blue and it is beautiful, shifting with the light. Between the 58/15 pickups with push/pull coil splitting and the piezo that can be blended in with the magnetic pickups or run separately, this is an incredibly versatile...

It has been a while since I got any new bass gear, which is fine, as I've been enjoying what I have. Still, there has been one nagging problem, which is that as great as my rig is (Mesa TT-800 plus Subway 15), hauling it around is still a chore, albeit a far lighter one than moving bass...

2011 PRS 513 in a scarlet smokeburst finish. It has ordinary light play wear plus one ding on the top side of the guitar body (pictured). It includes a case, some case candy and an extra aftermarket wooden trussrod cover (I was told it was Brazilian rosewood, which would be a tribute to the...

For sale is a 2002 Martin OMC-15E in good condition. The guitar plays smoothly and sounds great. The onboard preamp works well. And the Martin hardshell case is solid. There are cracks around the preamp that have been repaired. The guitar was like this when I bought it from Chicago Music...

Mesa Boogie Subway 15 cab in very good condition with Mesa cover. Great cab, but I have two and only really need one. Asking $775 plus shipping. My zip is 20180 if you want to get your own estimate on shipping (just add a little to the cab’s weight and dimensions and it should be pretty close)...

Mesa Boogie TA-15 in very good condition with bag and footswitch. Asking $650 shipped to the CONUS.

2003 Fender Highway 1 P bass pickup. $50 shipped to the US.

For sale is a 1981 Fender Bullet Bass Deluxe B-34, made in the USA. It has a few cosmetic blemishes, as would be expected on a 40-year-old bass, but it is overall in very good condition with everything working as it should. Set up with a medium-low action this bass plays and sounds great. The...

I've been wanting to get a P again, but without sinking too much money into it. Then two interesting options came up locally, and I bought both with the intention of having them duel for my affection. First is a 1981 Fender Bullet Deluxe B-34. These are oddball basses (Mustang P-style...

A deal came up on a used American P with an abused finish, and before I hand over my cash I was hoping that the good Fender aficionados here could help vet it for me, as I know little about Fenders. I can check for a twisted neck or the like, but might not spot a fake. Thanks.

Verellen Big Spider fuzz pedal. Very good condition. $350 shipped to the CONUS.

I finally got my white whale. Kinda. I've wanted a Rickenbacker 4005 for years, but the market for them has been out of reach for as long as I've been interested. Then, after years of swearing that they would never make them again, RIC released the 4005XC as a special anniversary run. But this...

This is more of a NB-couple-of-weeks, but I was busy and then the forum was down, which meant more time with this great ultra-portable piccolo bass. For me, buying this bass was about travel. I want to practice when I am away from home, but I am tired of hauling full-size basses or guitars on...

Back on the market. Alembic Epic 1994 in good condition. It has some wear and dings but plays and sounds great. Includes a non-original hardshell case from Fodera. 1950 shipped to the lower 48.

1998 Alembic Epic special edition 4 string bass in very good condition. It has only a few small signs of wear, and plays and sounds great. 9.4 pounds on my luggage scale. Includes non-original hardshell case and strap locks. 2000 shipped to the lower 48.

Mesa Boogie WD-800 in excellent condition. This was made before Mesa changed warranty policies, so it still has over 3 years left on the transferable warranty. Includes amp, power cable, footswitch, manual and carry bag.

As the title says, what do you think are the best bargains available for boutique basses? I would point to Alembic, as used Epics and other cheaper models are frequently available for $1500-2000. That's still not cheap, but with some patience a player can get an amazing and iconic instrument for...

For sale is a Fodera Monarch P bass in excellent used condition. The pickup has been changed to an Arcane 57. There is a small scuff on the tip of the lower horn. Case and pictured case candy included. 9 lbs 2700 shipped to the continental US.

For sale is a Rick Turner Renaissance lined fretless bass in excellent used condition. The tuners have been replaced with Hipshot Ultralights, which reduces the weight and the neck dive. The original tuners are included. Also included is a gig bag and some lightly used purple haze strings...

I received a Fodera practice amp in the mail today, and it is a fun little bit of gear that was apparently too niche for its own good. It works as advertised, serving as a good headphone amp that will also allow one to play along to music via the aux input (I have not used this feature yet)...

For sale is a Glasser NY German bass bow. Played sparingly for only a few months. $50 shipped to the continental US.

For sale is a Mesa Boogie Subway D800 Plus bass amp head in excellent used condition. There are only very light signs of wear, and almost 3 years left on the transferable warranty. The Mesa carrying bag is included. Asking $675 shipped to the continental US.

For sale is a Mesa Boogie Subway 1x12 cab in excellent used condition with only a few light signs of wear. Mesa cover is included. Asking $590 shipped to the continental US.

I bought the bass I was asking about last weekend, and have been playing it for the last week. It's an old German ply that the seller thought was from the 50s. It came with a bag and a bow, and seems to have a decent setup and newish strings, as he had claimed. Fingerstyle (or pizzicato as I...

For sale is a Vox AC4C1-12 in good working condition. This amp has seen use and has some cosmetic wear to prove it, but everything works and it sounds great. This is best version of the AC4, in my opinion, as it has the top boost circuit and a 12-inch speaker. $280 shipped to the lower 48.

I'm looking at getting my first DB from a local seller on Craigslist. I have not gone to see it in person yet, but the seller says it is from the late 50s or early 60s and that the label says Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm Bass Viol Made in Germany. I have been unable to find any information about...

For sale is a Mesa Boogie Subway 15 cab in excellent used condition. This is a great cab. I am only selling because I found one of the rare cabs that matches my Mesa Buster 15 combo and cannot keep both cabs right now. $650 plus estimated shipping to the continental US. Local pickup in...

For sale is a beautiful 2003 PRS Custom 24 in black with a 10-top and moon inlays. The pics really show off the big flame of the top. I found it hard to capture the depth of the finish without also getting some weird reflections—sorry about that. The various pictures should give you a good...

I picked this up to go with my pink Hello Kitty guitar (purchased when I was trying to get my wife to take an interest in learning guitar). Structurally, it's basically a Squier Bronco with a paint job and a novelty pickguard. It takes an ok setup, and sounds ok, and is overall a cheap but ok...

Sold on Reverb, no longer available. For sale is a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 1x12 bass cabinet. I picked this up a bit over a year ago and have only used it at home. Like every Mesa cab I’ve ever tried, it sounds great, but I prefer the Subway 15 cab I just got. This is in great condition with...

Reading the tale @Mantis Tobaggan related about his hurricane experience last weekend got me thinking a bit. It's unlikely I'll need to flee a hurricane in Missouri, but my gear could be damaged, lost or destroyed in other ways. And reflecting on how I'd have to go about replacing all of it...

I've wanted a fretless Rick Turner Renaissance for a couple years now, and was able to pick one up from the TB classifieds this last week. After spending a few days playing with it and tweaking it a little bit, I'm very pleased, with my only regret being that buying this will delay my ability...

I got this a few days ago from a TB member and am very impressed. It has replaced the B7K I was using. The Darkglass pedals are great too, but the Meatsmoke suits me better. It provides incredible low-end saturation, a very powerful EQ, and great tone. Having two independent channels is...

I recently got to play a couple Serek basses at CME and was very impressed with them. The necks in particular were fantastic, and the build quality seemed excellent. I may want a Sacramento as my next bass, though it will take a while to come up with the cash for it. In the meantime, I'd love...

For sale is a Mesa Boogie TA-30 in excellent condition. If you’re looking at this you probably know a bit about it—if not, go watch some of the demo videos available on YouTube and read some of the reviews highlighting this amp’s tone and versatility. This is a great rock and roll amp...

For sale is a 2013 Gibson LPJ Pro in a faded red satin finish. I am the original owner. This guitar has a maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and a mahogany body and cap. The neck is the fatter 50s style. The pickups are a 490R and 490T set, with push-pull pots for coil tapping (one of the...

In response to speculation about the impending demise of tube amps, I'd like to offer a few predictions about their future. 1. There will be a future for tube amps. Too many people prefer, and will continue to prefer, tube tones for tube amps to go away. 2. A few classic tube amps will...

For sale is a used Mesa Boogie TA-15 guitar amplifier in good working condition. I bought this used earlier this year and am only selling it because I have decided to go with the TA-30. The TA-15 is a great amp with a lot of sweet features. I won’t list them all here, since you can watch and...
