So… this happened today… There isn’t another one in the world like it. That Lakland Basses neck with that GORGEOUS top and the modern Gospel/Jazz tones I was looking for. Like a Lakland and an F-Bass BN5 Deluxe had a baby together. A really beautiful baby! If you like the specs: 55-AJ, Ash...

This guy! TH500 with a pair of SL112s or a 4 ohm SL410 depending on the room/gig. 800 watts, 49 lbs, great looking cabinet too! Obviously, I'll want to hear it before deciding for sure, but I'm certainly not buying until I get a chance to try it out. Already have the TH500 and SL112s, BTW

Amp is like new, in a brand new Big Bang bag ($70 bag), never gigged. Just got it in a trade and decided it's not the one for me. Bought a ToneHammer 500, so no longer available for trade. May consider SL112, DB112, or LowDownSound 12" loaded cabs as trade. Will sell for $525 shipped Con US...

This was included with a Big Bang amp I just got. It's obviously not the right bag for the amp, so I ordered the Big Bang bag. $50 shipped Con US. PayPal fine.

Who's going to carry MarkBass in the US once Guitar Center goes under?

Like the title states, will the Streamliner 600 push enough power to the 4 ohm Uber 410 to get to the good tones or am I going to want the 900 watt Streamliner or Shuttle? I can't see playing anywhere that 600 watts into a 4 ohm 410 isn't loud enough, so this is more a how much power does this...

There's a fretless Kingston 5 on the bay that I'm high bidder on, but I can't find it on the MTD a Kingston website. It's got the MM/J pickups, but it's passive. What model is it?

I know what I want - 35" scale, one rosewood board, one maple. On the rosewood, I want Ash body, sunburst finish, tortoiseshell pick guard, and on the maple, Ash body, clear finish, red tortoiseshell pick guard. Nordy pickups, Audere pre on both. I've narrowed it down to: Lakland - probably...

No matter what, if I click on a link to another thread (typically in classifieds when the seller links to the previous for sale ad) it links to some ad for a Cremona Double bass. Doesn't do it from my home computer. Only on the mobile app.

My R&B band is adding a bunch of newer material to the set list and this tune was on the list. A, KILLER bass line!!!! Took me a bit to get it down. B. I don't use effects - aside from envelope filters occasionally, a touch of compression sometimes and a little chorus when I play fretless - and...

I have a feeling this is going to be a landslide, but Uber 212 - new Neox212T - used, rat fur edition Focus 410 - new The new Uber and used NEOX are the same price (within a few bucks and around $600 shipped), and I have a line on the 410 for under $400 shipped. If I could find an NX2-212 for...

It arrived via the brown truck today! Brand new NOS bass in transparent white, my favorite ever color in this bass. This is the generic photo from the seller - Bass Specialties, who was GREAT to deal with.

Anybody with experience with this rig. Just downloaded Logic and waiting on the Focusrite. I have been using Logic 8 and an original MOTU 828.

Trying to decide between the two. I play mostly funk, Gospel and R&B with a few rock gigs thrown in for good measure. I'm leaning towards the AJ 55 in red with a maple board - Bass Central has one with maple. If I get it, I'll probably put an Audere pre in it, which will make cost a wash. Any...

Anybody here have some cool custom patches? I'm mostly looking for gospel/funk tones. Gouche, Melvin Lee Davis, that sort of sound.

I'm going to be putting one of these in every bass I buy from here on out! The Conklin GT7 is a terrific playing bass and sounds pretty darn good out of the box, but when the stock preamp went out I did a bunch of research and ended up ordering the Audere. This bass now sounds like a $5000 custom!

I have played with a singer/guitarist off and on for a couple of years now. Basically, he books gigs where he needs a band and calls me, a drummer and lead guitarist, sometimes a keyboardist if he can afford it. Sends a set list and basic charts and we just show up and jam. I played with him a...

Got a call from my old lead singer 3 weeks ago wanting to put together a band for a one time show. Ended up with me, a keyboard player I know, a drummer he knows and him singing. No guitard... Had 2 short rehearsals and threw some stuff together - blend of old and new R&B, anything from old...

I'm joining an 80s pop band and will probably need to get a 4 string. All I have is my fretted 7 and fretless 6... I'm leaning towards a jazz, but maybe a pj or a Spector...

Invalid Link Removed She was my boss last year. I coached the girls basketball team. Helluva singer too. Sang background for Prince on one of his tours.

9 months into this new R&B project, and just like that... It's over. Stupid lead singer (redundant, I know...) goes AWOL for a month; skips 3 rehearsals with no calls, emails or texts, doesn't return emails; replies to my text last week that he'll be there Saturday, then no shows again; replies...

Hat are my options? I'm a big fan of DR Hi Beams, but they don't make a set and their individual string in the correct gauge isn't wound. I've currently got SITs on and the F isn't wound either and the tonal difference is noticeable. Who makes sets with a wound F that will get me in the ball...

Bartolini 4.5 pre should arrive today! Looks to be a direct swap with some minor pickup lead soldering and desoldering the included output jack so I can use the stock locking neutrik jack. Anybody else done this swap? Is it as easy as it looks? BTW, I solder circuit boards for flight controls...

So far, my favorite apps are talk bass (of course), drop box, good reader, music stand, set list maker, yahoo fantasy football 2011, pandora, Mypad, and the ESPN apps. Those were all free or very low cost. A couple of more expensive apps I'm using are garage band and iMovie. I also paid for the...

My 2 daughters, grandson and some of their friends were hanging out in front of our house, when a teenage kid came down the street driving WAY too fast (residential neighborhood). One of the boys yelled "slow down!" and the kid locked up his brakes and got out of the car and threatened to kill...

Lots of classic R&B, good musicians, killer vocalist, no drama... Now it's time to start booking... And every damn bar wants rock bands. Or country. Time to call in some old favors and get this thing rolling. I've been semi-retired for a couple of years, so I have to go see if any of my old...

My wife and I are fostering a 17 year old mother of an 18 month child. She has been diagnosed with BPD and while fairly early for that diagnosis, we feel it is accurate, based on our 2 year relationship with her. Obviously, she's in therapy and we're getting lots of insight from her therapist...

We're playing a mix of old school R&B (Marvin, Al Greene, Spinners, etc...) and newer R&B (Usher, Craig David, Marc Broussard), but have noticed most of our tunes fall into the slow dance or sit back and listen kind of stuff and we need to incorporate some more uptempo, danceable stuff. Staying...

Got my GT-7 today:hyper: I know, I know; no pics, no bass. They're in his for sale thread. Excellent packaging! Anyway, pulled it out of the case and it's not as heavy as everybody complains about. Then again, I was playing a G&L L2500 which isn't exactly a lightweight. So, what to do with...

What strings are you guys putting on these? I've been using DRs for years, but have read about people having trouble with intonation on the F string on the DR set, so what else are people using or is that just internet chatter and the DR set is solid for the 7? I've heard good things about the...

I've been on a self-imposed sabbatical from playing for a year - other than at church, which is extremely low pressure and low time commitment. My wife has been in graduate school and my lead singer/best friend has been battling cancer (he's WINNING!), so I took a year off to let my wife have...

I've been away for a couple of months... I bought a new motorcycle - Kawasaki Ninja 650R, so I've been riding a lot, and spending most of my on-line time on sportbikes.net... Riding seasons done up here though, so the bike's in storage and I'm back on here. yippee. I know, some of you...

Okay, so best chain restaurants. I figure most of them are going to be smaller chains and upper end, but let's just see. I'm going to start with: Biaggi's - a small Italian chain - I think less than 10 stores nationwide Carrabas - another good Italian chain Ruths Crist - great steaks...

I just bought a Boss Octave pedal - the OC-3. I use a Radial bassbone and put all my effects in the loop. I have a Boss CEB-3 and an MXR bass auto Q already. For the most part I only use the CEB-3 when I play my fretless and I only use the auto-q for the fretted. I will probably use the oc3...

Planning on purchasing a MarkBass 410 cabinet soon to match up with my SA450 head. I know I'm going with a 4 ohm cabinet but am trying to decide between the front ported HF or the rear ported HR. I'm playing mostly gospel/funk/jazz in either a gospel band or a funky jam band, but will also be...

Okay, I'm putting together an 80s band. Reunions mostly that sort of thing. Everything from psychadelic furs to Van Halen. Help me put together a set list.

My LB-76 fretless was having some MAJOR neck issues - one piece maple neck, serious problems. buzzing out across all strings below the third fret (well, where the third fret would be). Neck was bowing there and I had been compensating by raising the action, but it was unplayable, so I took it...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] giving people money or things rarely solves their financial problems long term. Most people who win the big lottery prizes end up bankrupt. Also many professional athletes and entertainers end up bankrupt. If you can't manage money, having more doesn't...

I just got a Bike E, basically in new condition. Only bad thing is they've been out of production for 6 years so parts are becoming less common. Still fairly easy to find though. This is my first 'bent and yes I know there are a lot of other, much better models, but not for $500....
