This is from before they recorded the album so I suspect she actually recorded Talking Heads: 77 on this bass and not on the Mustang or Hofner which I always associated her sound with... The isolated bass sounds very honky almost like a Hofner neck pickup to my ears, with most the low end coming...

Dear TalkBass friends, I recently found a decent deal for a '67 Harmony H22 so I grabbed it. Before setting it up I wanted to check which strings are on it now - and to my surprise it's some kind of weird set (possibly decades old, I don't know) the gauge is: 45 - 55 - 75 - 95, so it's not a...

I thought to purchase a short scale hollow body, but I want to fly with it... they normally go in hard cases but that can be a problem i wouldn't want to send it under and they don't let hard cases on board anymore.. so is there such a thing? something good like a mono I'd only be willing to...

Ok this is a strange one... And probably naive too... probably very basic but I don't know so much about... anyhting really.... But I do think I may be on to something here, that's why this is super long, excuse me :) The story begins when I bought my main Bass. The amp in the store was an...

Hey yo id like to see what other people think on this one. I played a new Mexican vintera Mustang the other day in a store (2 in fact) and thought they were really really good. When comparing to Japanese mustangs I've played and also "PJ" mustangs... I felt the vintera was better. I never...

Hey friends I have a relatively new 2015 made '63 AVRI. It's in pretty good shape and set up not too long ago. When I initially bought it had light flats. I put medium-thick rounds (45-105). I also set the action kinda high.. now after a while of being like 'yeaaah i love high action thick...

Hey rastas! I want to buy a serious Amp and I was thinking of the GK 800RB Here's the weird thing... I had the oppurtinty to play 3 different GK 800's and 2 were just insane sounding - one was just OK... (owned by a rehersal studio). So I couldn't find a 800RB for sale so I tried a 700 that...

Hey Bass community! I have to change strings on my J, so I thought trying flats since it currently sounds really good with 3 year old completely dead rounds... Now the rust is becoming a bit too much and I feel she wants some new strings. However I'm not sure if the flats will actually suit...

Hey all! So.... I'm new to bass and poopie but I tried to learn as much as I could and... I found a pretty incredible 71 J! The store seems really trust worthy and they seem good and honest people. They said it's a refin although it's very worn. Not a relic job but just a very light finish...

Hi, I'll start off with these questions I have... After that there's a backround story which might help you understand what's the deal... Feel free to not read it and just answer the q's :) Which Jazz Bass's have the widest necks? (the strings are farthest apart). I know they are known for the...
