Anybody have any experience with the 2011 (or thereabouts) Schecter Model T Research model basses? I know recent Schecters get pretty nice reviews, but I've never owned a Schecter. Tons of other basses, but never a Schecter. Insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

I recently picked up this Sonic Blue semi-hollow Jazz. My good friend Mike Stoker is a respected Memphis tech/luthier who is now doing custom builds. Nice warm tone as you'd expect from a semi-hollow. At 75, I sure didn't need another bass, but this one definitely hit my "hot button"!

Got this Skyline Hollowbody from the Classifieds here on TB. Sweet bass, and I think I'm gonna like it a lot. I think it's an '04 (Made in Korea). 34" scale.

Recently picked up this used Mustang Player II. This is the only Mustang I've ever had and I'm really surprised by how much I like this little guy! I know a lot of you Mustang guys don't like the P/J's as much, but I'm loving it. Here it is on Wednesday night playing at a local watering hole...

I've always used either UPS or FedEx for shipping basses, but their pricing has gotten out of hand. I've been seeing a lot of love for Pirate Ship from some of you TB'ers. I have a couple questions: Is it easy to set up an account? When it's time to actually ship, where do you take it? (It's...

I liked the red dots that let you know that there were new posts in the various threads. Is their disappearance a temporary thing or permanent?

Actually, this arrived on July 3rd. MusicMan StingRay Special HH in Raspberry Burst. Not sure I'm all in on the black hardware (I like the contrast that chrome gives), but that's okay. Plays great.

I no longer see the "Hot Deals" choice in the Classifieds section. Has the Hot Deals thread been eliminated? I know you folks are getting hammered with questions, but I'm curious because that was one of my regularly visited threads. Thanks.

I've been watching some of their videos on YouTube, and really enjoy their sound/harmonies. Kind or like the female version of The Everly Brothers. But since they're pretty new to me, I thought I'd ask you folks if you have any favorites when it comes to their albums? Thanks.

So I settled into my recliner tonight to watch the old "Let It Be" movie from 1970. When I selected "Disney +" I got a message that an update is available. No option to decline the update, so I clicked on "Update". Nothing happens. Won't update, and won't let me get into Disney + to watch...

My daughter Abby teaches ultrasound students at a university in Memphis. In addition, she's been working toward her Ph.D. Yesterday, she successfully defended her doctoral dissertation to a panel. She passed with flying colors and now has a Ph.D in Educational Psychology and Research. She...

Price drop to $1,000.00. Over the past 6 months or so, I bought a couple basses that I shouldn't have, but I love. :D Now my problem is that I'm running out of room to keep them all. Here is a 2019 Fender American Professional Jazz in excellent condition with very nice original hard-shell...

Today would have been my 50th anniversary with this beauty. Unfortunately, cancer took her in 2022. This was us in 1973... EDIT: I didn't realize the picture would show up here on TB all grainy like this. I would have just deleted the post, but don't have that option. But trust me, she was...

Brand new - never used. 45-105 GHS Precision Flats, 38" wind. These are excellent flats, but if you're a flats person, you probably already know that. I simply have enough new sets of flats to last me the rest of my life. The thing I really like about the GHS flats is that they sound great...

I have a German-made Warwick Star Bass II. Do any of you current or former owners know of a hard case that would accomodate it? I've been using a gig bag. I know that Warwick makes the giant and heavy flight bass for it, but any other options you might be aware of? Thanks!

Stunning Made in Germany Warwick Star Bass II. This is the best semi-hollow bass I've ever owned or played. Just fantastic. No trades. Includes a nice RoadRunner gig bag. Weight is 8 lbs., 2.8 oz. on my postal scale. Not a flaw, ding, etc. that I can find. Beautiful wenge fretboard...

Edit: Traded Brand new. I just got this yesterday. Put it on the bass I thought I'd use it with, but the color doesn't quite match up well enough for my tastes. This is the Wine color with Grey backing in the long length. Fantastic strap. I wish it worked for me. So I'm selling it for...

Okay, here's my John Prine story. I was working as a U.S. Postal Inspector down in New Orleans in the '80s. I had a territory in South Louisiana from just East of Baton Rouge over to the Texas line at Lake Charles. I worked a lot of forgery cases, and had a good friend in the East Baton Rouge...

Beautiful 2012 FSR Fender American Standard Jazz in Hand-Stained Wine Red. Absolutely killer tone, and the lightest Jazz I've ever owned (8 lbs., 6.3 oz). 250 of these were made, with the first 50 being signed on the back of the headstock by Fender's Jeff Allen, who I believe was Head of...

My minor "Bass Selloff" continues with this beauty. 2017 Lakland Skyline Jazz w/J-Sonic pickups. Very cool, excellent-sounding bass. Aztec Gold which can look different in different lighting. Beautiful rich, dark rosewood board. I'm the only owner, and it has been babied. Any "white spots"...

On hold pending payment. Very cool '90s reissue Danelectro Longhorn (Made in Korea). Excellent condition - BlueBurst. I have too many basses, and I'm gonna' be posting two - maybe three within the next couple days. I have two short-scales, so one has to go. This one gets the nod, although...

EDIT: My mistake. This deal is for a GUITAR bag. Not a bass bag. Mods, please feel free to delete this entire thread. Reason? My lack of reading skills... :banghead: Road Runner Espresso bass gig bag for $69.99. Stupid Deal of the Day... Stupid Deal of the Day | Musician's Friend

Well, my beautiful bride of almost 49 years passed away early yesterday evening. She was diagnosed with bone cancer 3 1/2 weeks ago. Turns out she also had lung cancer as well as a brain tumor. The past 3 weeks have been a jumble of tests, doctor appts., and ultimately home hospice care. Her...

Brand new, unopened printer ink cartridges. HP 61, one black ink, one multi-colored ink. Recently bought a new printer that these are not compatible with. $40.00 shipped CONUS. I do not have or use Paypal, so I prefer a U.S. Postal Money Order. But check my feedback if you're in doubt...

Just acquired this beauty earlier this week. 2019 American Professional Jazz. Almost all of my basses are either Sunburst, reddish, Honeyburst, or goldish. I was intrigued by this Sonic Gray. I swapped out the original pickguard for an aged white pearl, which I think looks great with the...

...Of semi-hollows. At least as far as my experiences have been. Picked up this German-made Warwick Star Bass II. Delivered a couple days ago on my birthday! I've tried a number of hollows and semi-hollows over the years. I wanted to like them, but always end up selling them because...

SOLD. Price Drop: Now $1,150.00 shipped CONUS. Feeler: Up for sale is my near-mint 2017 Guild Starfire II in the beautiful Natural finish. "Natural" is kind of a misnomer, since in my opinion it looks nothing like a natural colored bass. The only reason I'm selling is because no matter how...

Okay all you hockey fans, and especially you Seattle fans, how do you feel about the Kraken's picks in the expansion draft? Looks like they passed on most of the big names and are trying to build a team for the future. Appears to be a different approach than that taken by the Golden Knights.

Looks like a great deal on a used Guild Starfire II at a Guitar Center (which I think is in Illinois). Anybody looking for one of these would be hard-pressed to find a better price. Of course I just bought one a month or two ago, or I'd have snagged it. (Just my luck...) :banghead::D Oops...

Got this Guild Starfire II delivered yesterday. Still feeling my way around it looking for the tones I like best. Lots of possibilities with Volume/Volume/Tone/Tone/Master Volume and 3-way switch. I'm gonna' slap a set of D'Addario Black Nylon Tapewounds on it when I get a chance. The...

EDIT: On hold. 2019 Gibson Les Paul D/C in the Faded Red. Excellent condition. Short-scale Made in U.S.A. Gibson for a very fair price. $675 shipped CONUS. $625 for a local deal in Memphis area or a reasonable half-way point meeting for Nashville, Jackson, MS, etc. bassists. No trades...

Gorgeous Lakland P/J in the fabulous Ice Blue Metallic finish. Indian Laurel fretboard, Hipshot tuners, pearl block inlays, matching headstock, Jazz Bass nut width (1.5"). Just a fantastic bass. Weight is 9 lbs., 4.5 oz. on my postal scale. Excellent condition. Lakland gig bag. Currently...

Today was Ken Jennings' first day as guest host. My thoughts: I thought he did an outstanding job. I was particularly impressed with his quickness, and ability to transition from clue to clue without missing a beat. My only minor nit-pick is his voice. This is just a personal opinion...

Awhile back, I snagged a Gibson DC Les Paul Jr. bass in Faded Red. It had a dry, faded out looking rosewood board and needed a little filing on the fret sprout, but sounded good. I enjoyed it for awhile, then decided I'm too big to be rocking a short-scale. Makes me look like a circus bear...

Not sure if anybody uses a rack-system anymore, but here's the Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190

Gibson Les Paul D/C (Double Cutaway) in Worn Cherry. Pretty cool bass. Very punchy with a number of tonal possibilities. This is a short-scale bass. Like new, never taken out of my house. I've only had it a couple months. Better than new, actually. I had the fret ends professionally...

Does anybody know what colors were offered on the stock MIM and MIA 2017 Fender P-Bass? Specifically, I'm wondering whether there was any type of gold color offered. Thanks!

2008 American Standard Jazz Bass (4-string). Blizzard Pearl, rosewood board. Excellent condition. Original "Parchment"-color pickguard, plus a Black pickguard. Includes original TSA approved Fender case. Under-rated color that looks great under the lights, and slightly different in different...

Edit: Sold, pending payment. Edit: Price drop. Somehow, I've accumulated too many bass amps. Up for sale is my Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 in excellent condition (with Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 Carry Bag). I'm the original owner, and I take good care of my gear. I don't have or use Paypal, so I...

I have 4 sets of lightly-used Schaller Strap Locks. (Not the buttons - just the locks that go on the strap itself.) Two sets of Chrome and two sets of Black. $25.00 shipped CONUS for all 4 sets. My preference is to sell all 4 sets at once. But I could sell them 2 and 2 (2 sets to one...
