Why do people shop at the Walmart of musical instrument retail stores and then get surprised when they receive sub par service or products? I feel like theres at least one thread a day made by someone who got burned at a GC yet people keep going back for more. When will people learn?

Finally got the chance to get all my gear set up in my new space. Very content with my toolbox these days though the gas never ends. Let's see what you guys are collecting Going from top to bottom left to right: Trace Elliot Elf Fender Studiobass 79-80 rehoused as a head Guild...

So a buddy of mine has just acquired a "Geddy Lee Jazz CIJ", the neck checks out as such but the body had a preamp (thats been removed) with battery box. Now to my knowledge there never has been a Geddy Lee Jazz bass that had active electronics, to which Im reaching out to Talkbass to settle...

Ive noticed a trend on here lately, it seems for any tonal issue someone is having, there is someone to say "get a hpf". Ive even seen people state on here that they're an essential piece of gear for any bass rig. Now I don't need anyone to explain HPF to me, Ive used HP, LP and BP filters...

Oteil's new custom Modulus, I can decide whether I love it or hate it but Its nice to see a design thats not a "fender"

Just when I thought I was over GAS, I played through a Bassman 135 from the 70s going into an ampeg svt 1x15 (loaded with a kappa lite I believe). Im just totally knocked out by the tone this amp made. I like it more than any new piece of gear I've encountered in the past 10yrs. IDK what it...

Is it me or have we all just been looking at the same threads listed on the home page for several weeks. Is it a glitch or are we just that boring?

Seeing a couple of threads on here lately that are a back and forth about class d phasing out tube amps and so on.... I don't feel like getting into that can of worms but it got me thinking how I wanted to start a thread on here for discussing tube bass amps, particularly makes other than Ampeg...

Just curious as to what are the current hollow/semihollow basses with a classic style on the market these days? Im talking med-short scale, passive, and most importantly made in US So far Im aware of Guild Starfire, Hofner's many offerings, gretsch but none of them are really doing it for me...

So i felt the need to share my gig story from this past weekend. So I was hired to put together a band for a Co-workers 60th bday. Long story short we were hire to provide entertainment from 1-6 in the afternoon (with breaks of course)and the owner of the property said party was being held on...

I better put on a helmet and bullet proof vest because I'm sure I'll catch a lot of flack for this. So the question is what is the big deal with these? From my understanding this unit is a tube buffered DI with an above average transformer? Is that all this thing is? It just seems that $745...

This is a rant, sorry but i gotta get this off my chest I read through these forums wanting to beat my head against the wall with people buying crap amplifiers then asking "how do i fatten up my tone?" only to read they're playing through an ampeg combo 15" amp. Get proper amps people. I...

Hey guys, looking to switch back to 5 (was playing an active 6 for a while until i switched to a squire p classic vibe) but i dont want active electronics because: A) they dont play well with the effects i use, especially fuzz B) I havent found an active bass with a tone i liked in that...

I've been reading a lot about Jerry Garcia's rig lately and the OBEL in his guitars. It was set up so his guitar signal went to an output (pre volume control) to his pedalboard then back to his guitar so he could have a stronger signal going to the effects (a mutron to be specific) and total...

Saw these guys a couple of weeks ago, one of the best shows Ive ever seen. All live, no drum machines or loops. For me this is the new fusion. Its Jazz, its Dupstep, its dnb, its rock, but most of all, a lot of if is improv. Check it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCdb3_TPnQ4...

i have a 67 gibson eb-2d and im not a fan of the bridge pickup so i was wondering what are my options are. is there anything the same size or what about the pickups they put on the new sg basses?

I have been playing my Gibson EB-2 through a Marshall 1959 Superlead and i really enjoy the dirty distorted tone but I hear that this is not good for guitar amps. Would i be able to use the head through an ampeg 4-10. All the research I've done has said that this will only harm guitar...

Own a Gibson EB-2D bass and I am having the hardest time finding a case that would fit. Does anyone know were I could find one?
