    NBD: 2004 Ken Smith BSR-EG 7&7

    Well, I finally found the *right* classic Ken Smith for a realistic price on Reverb. This beauty has a seven piece body and neck. The neck is maple and bubinga, and I'm still working on the body layers. :laugh: The sound is definitely unique, and amazing. There's a bite and quick attack to the...

    How big is my problem? (Pic)

    And what do I do? Never had an issue with a truss rod like this. I just received the bass from a TB sale and this is the first time I tried to tighten the truss rod.

    NBD: Fender 75th Anniversary Commemorative Precision - w/ bonus tort!

    I was in the market for a new Precision after regretfully selling my Mystic Blue American Standard. The Bourbon Burst on these 75th models REALLY enticed me, and the ash body and '62 Custom Shop pickup sealed the deal for me. The neck is fantastic, not too chunky but definitely a Precision. I...

    Looking at getting a pedalboard but they feel like major rip-offs

    Can anyone tell me why this costs $200? It's a few pieces of flat, straight metal welded together, with a case. I feel like every manufactured pedalboard should cost half of what it does at most, and you'd have to be borderline insane to not make your own or buy one off Etsy.

    Amp Fatigue; Help me mix it up! $3k budget

    I have a real "1st world problem" on my hands. For the last 5.5 years, my only rig has been a M/B Subway D-800+ into a Subway 210. It's fantastic and there's nothing wrong with it whatsoever. That said, I want to be able to mix it up. I have a lot of basses and only one amp, so adding just...

    Uh-oh…What’s going on with my shielding? (Pics)

    I recently got this bass and just opened the control cavity for the first time. What is going on here, and how concerned should I be? Do I need to have this redone?

    NBD (yesterday) - Blown away!

    Rob Elrick had a $500-off sale on any fretless in stock or ordered back in April. I had been planning on getting an MTD in a couple years but couldn't pass up on the deal, considering I've been eyeing Elrick basses since way back in high school. This bass is every bit as nice as my MTDs, if...

    Ditto Looper X2 making horribly distorted noise out of nowhere

    The last time I used it a few days ago it was totally fine. This is a bass going directly into the unit, and then the unit going directly into my amp. I am 100% sure the problem is not the bass or the amp. The sound doesn't happen if I start recording a loop and wait a second before playing...

    Those $8 inlay stickers from Japan are pretty nice

    Only took about five minutes to apply, too. Just had to loosen the strings.

    Casually starting guitar after 17 years of bass...help me get past the EADGBE

    So obviously a six string bass is tuned BEADGC. The standard tuning for a guitar is EADGBE. The internet tells me that it's BE instead of CF to make things easier. So that means shapes of scales are moved a half step on only two strings? My main bass is a 6, so I'm concerned that this will...

    What happened to the USA MTD Club thread?

    It's gone and the links to it are dead. Did it get deleted for some reason? Mods? Anyone?

    What is this thing called? (description)

    I know you've all seen it, it's a plastic speedbump-looking thing that cables get run under so people don't trip on them on stage/crowded settings. I need one and don't know what to search for online.

    Who played bass in Love Committee? (70s)

    Lately I've really been digging this track..."Law and Order" by Love Committee (1978). I can't really find any information on who the bassist was. I can find the names of the four members of the band, and I know who the singer is, but I can't find anything about who the bassist was.

    First electric guitar (Strat), need tremolo adjustment help

    I just changed the strings on my new Strat for the first time and my tremolo seems to need adjustment. I've looked online but haven't found anything very helpful. I did increase the gauge of the string. Can anyone tell me what I need to do based on the pics?

    MXR Compressor only showing gain reduction for slap/pop

    Even when I'm using an 18v active bass on full volume with the Input knob on the pedal all the way up (only for experimentation, I don't normally have it set like that). Is something wrong or am I just that big of a compression noob?

    Help me diagnose hum/hiss issue and decide what to do

    I recently moved into my (our) first house, which allows me to play at much higher volumes after living in apartments for the past 12 years. With my increases to the Gain and Volume knobs has come a nasty high-pitched hum, almost a hiss, that occurs with my two Fender Jazz basses. My Precision...

    SOLD Warwick German Pro Series Thumb 5 BO 9.9/10

    It's been a fun nine months with this bass, but I am just not a five string player. This bass is really impressive for the price. Growl and punch like there's no tomorrow, great build quality, beautiful woods, fast neck, and more. Ovangkol body and neck, wenge fingerboard (24 frets with...

    Brand new Mesa/Boogie Subway rig problem

    So yesterday I got a Subway D-800+. Got a Subway 112 cab today to go with it. Brand new, sealed package. I set it up, plugged everything in, and within the first five notes I played, I could tell something was wrong. It sounds like I have an overdrive pedal running. I checked all cables...

    MTD pricing question

    So when I go to the MTD website and build/fantasize my dream bass in my head, it's about $7,000 according to their price list. But when I go to the Bass Central website, they have similar basses for sale, brand new, for $4,800 or so (and it says "Retail: $6,600", for example). How does that...

    Absolutely terrible Warwick experience

    What a nightmare. I ordered one of the new German Pro Series Thumb basses through a reputable online store (they are not at fault, so I'll leave their name out). This was January 27th. Warwick didn't have the natural finish available, so I was given an estimated delivery date of March 27th...

    New set of EB cobalt flats, broke the D string on install

    Is there anywhere that I can buy a single string, rather than a whole $38 (w/ tax) set? I need a 65. I looked on juststrings.com, and they have an EB flat in that gauge, but it doesn't specify what material it's made of. Help!

    Is it crazy to expect any bass below $3,000 to arrive in mint condition?

    Maybe I've just had a real string of bad luck, but in the past three months I've ordered a Stingray 5 and a Lakland Skyline 55-02 that both arrived with significant flaws in the finish. The Stingray had a chip in the paint near the neck pocket, and the Lakland, which I just got today, has a...

    Brand new Stingray... Arrived with chip in finish

    I bought a "brand new" Stingray 5HH from a reputable guitar shop on Reverb. The bass arrived with a 1/8"x1/8" chip in the paint that goes all the way through to the wood. It's. Right next to where the neck joins the body, on the B string side. The seller maintains that it was not there when it...

    Lakland Skyline pricing is baffling to me

    How do they justify charging $1,200-1,500 for a bass made in Indonesia when you can buy an American bass from other companies for the same price? I love the concept of the 55-02, but I can't convince myself to spend $1,500 on a bass made in Indonesia when I paid $100 less for my MIA Fenders...

    Fender Jazz pickguard replacement question

    In May I bought a brand new American Standard Jazz. I just received a replacement pickguard that I ordered. It is the genuine Fender part. The packaging says (c)2010. Will it fit my bass or is the bass "too new"? I'm at work for the next nine hours so I won't be able to check and its...

    so I ordered a new pickguard from Music123....

    ...And it arrived clearly used and was not a genuine Fender pickguard. It was covered in scratches. The screw holes had obviously seen several changes. And it didn't fit my four week-old American Standard Jazz. Of course I'm going to return it, and not buy another one from them. Has...

    I made a pedal board this afternoon... (pics)

    I only have three pedals right now, and don't see myself getting much more than another two...for the foreseeable future at least. I went to my parents' house because they recently redid their kitchen, and sure enough they had some of the old drawers and cabinets in the basement. I took the...

    Absolute best 8-10" combo amp for bedroom use only? No $ Limit
