Aight, I haven't posted here in a while. I'm starting to get back into bass playing after a sizable hiatus and need to buy an amp. I've played through Fender Rumbles, the Ashdown Studio, Markbass, and an Ampeg Rocket Bass combo. Today I went to GC and they had a used Roland Bass Cube 120xl...

I guess the better question is, should it be done? I was just thinking (a very dangerous pastime), and I got the idea that maybe throwing a '51 P-style pickup into the $150 Squier Bronco could essentially make a poor man's CV '50s or Fender Sting at a much lower cost. I don't know that it's...

Sup y'all. I recently decided I wanted to pick up the bass guitar (by recently, I mean about 2 years ago but I still haven't pulled the trigger) and am trying to decide which instrument to purchase. At my local GC, I played a Squier Jazz with a very beautiful, lightly flamed neck. It sounded and...

Nothing too special, just new finishes. Preorders are open for them to ship out in September. Mmm, purdy... Walnut 70s P-Bass 2-Tone 50s P-Bass Oh, and some minor spec changes on the '50s. Pine bodies, no more brass saddles. Necks appear to be darker tinted.

I'm trying to choose between 2 P-basses: the Squier Classic Vibe 70s and the Dean Paramount (Maple). The Squier sells for $400 new and the Dean is on "sale" for $280 from $500-ish. Opinions? I'm mostly curious about the sound, fit and finish of the Dean (neck profile too), as I can't find one...

How do people feel about the Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe series instruments? I've heard (and experienced) the 6 strings to be of great value, but there isn't too much out there on the basses. Really what I'm getting at, how are these 3 specific basses: The 70s Jazz, 70s Precision, and 50s...

I'm a guitar player looking to give bass a try. I know intermediate music theory and have overcome most of the physical aspects of playing strings, I'm just looking for a book to go through and learn good bass technique and all that other useful stuff. Which book would be a better resource for...

I'm looking for a new practice amp and am wondering what recommendations you may have. Here's what I've come up with so far: Fender Rumble 40/100, $200-300 Ampeg BA110, $200 Acoustic B100C, $250 The specs are all nearly identical. The Ampeg and Acoustic have a wedge-like thing happening. All...

I've been playing guitar for 3 years, and am now feeling like giving the bass a try. I have already decided to use the Squier '70s Jazz Bass. I am now looking for an amp, preferably under $250 new. I'm mainly looking at the Ampeg BA110V2, Fender Rumble 40, and Orange Crush CR25BXT. I really like...
