Took this in as part of a package trade deal, but really don't have a good use for it in my setup. There are tons of possibilities with it. It's in excellent condition, can't find a mark on it. Has the rubber feet installed on bottom and no Velcro. $125 shipped via USPS Priority CONUS...

I took this in as part of a package deal trade but have my compressor needs covered. I did have one of these as my main compressor for a couple years; the meter is awesome and it sounds great. It's used and has Velcro on the bottom, plus a couple little nicks in the paint. Works just like it...

Took this in trade but have my filter needs covered and no room on my board, though the Manta was my go-to filter for a couple years because it's so versatile. It also does phaser sounds and can get weird af. It's a used pedal and I've done my best to clean up the face and sides. There is...

I got this in trade and it is super cool; sounds like an OC-2 but can go way beyond unity gain on either control. It just can't unseat my Octabvre. No velcro, no damage. Would consider it mint condition. $200 shipped CONUS PayPal F&F including the original white box. Run trade ideas by me, but...

I just got a used neck which was finished by the builder with a couple coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. The previous owner put a lot of wear on it, in some places right down to the wood, and now the maple is dirty looking in spots. I’ve got a big bottle of Tru Oil and want to make the neck look...

Cool pedal but won’t dethrone the Octabvre from my board. Minimal trade interests for other Broughtons, Southamptons, or a Doom 2. Check my other listings; happy to bundle stuff for cool deals. No original box. No velcro. Couple paint chips on the back. $250 shipped PP F&F CONUS OBO

I loved the original BEAD so much I bought this v2 as soon as it was announced. It's been on my boards ever since but I just picked up a v3. This v2 does not have the clean blend tone control on an internal trimpot like the latest v3. It's a Brassmaster, but better. More flexible but easier to...

I bought this to use with my Wing Bass for travelling or situations where I don't want to lug my my whole board, but I've realized (a) I don't leave time during trips to play bass and (b) can get away with bringing a PT Nano with essentials as needed. This comes with the original box, all the...

Like a few other instruments I've lusted after for years, this little bass is absolutely exquisite but I've got to be honest with myself. I took it on one trip and, while it is frickin' awesome to have a bass wherever I go, I jam pack so much activity in when I travel that I don't have the time...

I've moved on from the Temple Audio ecosystem. EDIT: SOLO 18 HAS SOLD! TRIO and ALL ACCESSORIES STILL AVAILABLE. I'm going to be 100% honest with you, TalkBass pedal nerds. I found things to love and things to hate about the TA system. Ultimately, the things I disliked about it lead me to...

I'm interested in hearing about wah pedals. It's been several years since I made my last wah purchase, a Dunlop Mini Bass Wah when they released them. I downsized and never got another wah, but I've got the real estate and always had fun with it when I had one. Wah-t's new in the realm of...

Following in the footsteps of Mr. Jon Clegg and his incredibly impressive Härkä organ pedal conversion and programming excursion, I, too, am undertaking a foot pedal build, but mine is pretty different. I owned a mystery MIDI foot controller several years ago but after I moved, I lost the PSU...

I ordered this bass back in February from The Music Zoo on AliExpress. If you want to see the nitty gritty details of what to expect when going through this process, visit my original thread. Several TB members ordered from the same seller around the same time after @darkkimhari posted about his...

OK, the title is mostly clickbait. Warmoth posted on Instagram recently (2 weeks ago, I think) that they'd be adding stuff to their Screamin' Deals page for $50, bodies and necks. Well, I'm compulsive and my annual bonus just hit and I had just been looking at necks, daydreaming about an...

Behold, the Best Bass VI for Having Too Many Switches, Pickups, and Stickers on It. I started this dumb thing last year and simply ran out of steam. Well, I'm going to finish it. My original plan was to use the laser cutter at the LA Central Library but I never got around to that and I've...

I never turn off my Fifth Gear. I never want to. I rarely if ever change the settings. Is there anyone out there in TB land that I could send my Fifth Gear to that could rehouse it into a smaller enclosure with external trimpots instead of full sized pots and no footswitch as when it's powered...

This is my latest Warmoth project, now my 4th using both a body and neck from them. I love putting things together but don't have the practice or tools or space to do scratch building, so project basses are a lot like Lego to me, just more practical! (Don't worry, the bass doesn't live on...

I just came across these 3D printed adhesive-free pedal plates to use with Temple Audio boards. Anyone using anything from Boardmods? boardmods on eBay I have a love-hate relationship with my Temple Audio Trio. The plates are sort of expensive and dealing with the adhesive has been a pain when...

These flats just didn’t do it for me. Installed and played for less than an hour. I put Cobalt flats on another bass and realized those are way more my speed. These were installed with approximately 2 full wraps on a Harley Benton Jazz Bass, so they’ should fit most 34” scale 4-inline headstock...

I’ve got a Warmoth project simmering right now and one of my plans is to have no visible controls, so I ordered the body without holes drilled for pots, just a side mounted jack. I still want some control though, so I want to mount two slide switches to the rear control cavity cover. One for...

I wanna know which 4 string MM pickups people like and why you would recommend them. I'm not married to any particular maker, my only MM experience is the stock SBMM pickup (it was OK), the Nordstrand MM4.4 (very good), and a GFS that is in an OLP5 string I never play (also just OK). Only...

I’m a doofus and meant to buy the 17mm version. I can take better photos, but the bridge is in flawless condition. Hipshot doesn’t make these anymore and sells leftovers on their eBay outlet store.

I got this incredibly cheap Glarry mini bass (25.5" scale) just for funsies for $65 on eBay. It's a pretty fun little bass and a good platform to mod. It's got a very rudimentary "open grain" finish, which appears to just be paint over an unsealed body. I'm wondering what easy methods of...

Trying to find a source for matching/complimentary chrome knobs in 2 sizes, like how sometimes Ibanez will use standard sized knobs for volume and blend, then smaller versions of those for the preamp controls. Reference photo:

I cobbled together a diagram based on the Duncan J bass with push-pull series-parallel and a diagram for a bass cut pot. Anyone care to proof my drawing before I start soldering?

Alright, I have a weird one. I really like rotary pickup switching like my Dingwall has. In fact, I put their switches in most of my two-pickup project basses. But I also have a bass where I like six specific sounds: Neck solo Neck 100% with bridge ~80% Bridge 100% with neck ~80% Bridge...

I’ve got a Southampton Fifth Gear with a foot switch that’s starting to show signs of age. I never turn this pedal off. Ever. When I do, I get sad. But sometimes the signal crackles when I fire up my board and I have to cycle the switch a couple times to clear it up. I’m thinking of taking the...

A little backstory: My first bass was an Ibanez GSR205 because I was a teenager when nu-metal was the thing. The bass players in most of the bands I liked at the time played 5 strings, so I got one for Christmas when I was almost 15. I still play a lot of 5 string, but I spent a couple years...

Original thread here: For Sale - Ergo EUB - 4-string Electric Upright Bass 4-string Ergo EUB, no bag/case, or bow; includes a Boss AD-2. Pretty sure it's got the stock strings on it. I'm too lazy to learn DB technique, so I want to move this into a home where it'll get played. It's got some...

Pardon me if this isn't the right place, but I thought it might be. I'm moving to Portland from Los Angeles at the beginning of July. I haven't played with live musicians consistently since I moved to LA 3.5 years ago, partly due to pandemic restrictions and partly due to the fact that it's...

Picked this up on Reverb several months ago after years of wanting one, but I just don't play it enough to warrant keeping it. Turns out that I just don't have the patience to learn any instrument that's too different from a standard electric bass! This one is several years old with some dings...

I took this bass in trade and as cool as it is, I need to thin the collection. I’ll add more pics if anyone is interested. It sounds like a clearer, more articulate violin bass thanks to it being 34” scale. Roll down the tone for McCartney, open it up for some more growl and snarl. Has La...

I came across this bass while looking at cheap hardware on Amazon and put it in my "wishlist" knowing damn well that I never look at stuff I put in there ever again. Here's the Amazon listing. Except this time I got a notification that there was a $40 off coupon on the listing. So, having...

I've seen some videos about how to do fret leveling and I'm going to start with my cheapest, most disposable neck, but I'm wondering if anyone had any go-to favorite videos on the subject of fretwork? As a perpetual tinkerer and modder of cheap instruments, I finally bit the bullet and ordered...

Following in the footsteps of @darkkimhari (build thread), @JeezyMcNuggles (build thread), and @scuzzy (build thread), I've placed an order with The Music Zoo on AliExpress for a custom bass. I've gone through the custom build process with much more expensive instruments, and I have reasonable...

Then I've got the project for you! For the Luthier's Corner 2023 Build-Off, I'm putting together a Bass VI-style instrument. The instrument has three humbuckers (never mind that 2 of them are technically quad-coil, they only have 4 wires, so treat them as regular dual-coil humbuckers). Yes...

These were on an Ibanez SRH505F I briefly owned. I immediately took them off and installed rounds because I don’t like flats on fretless. They were pretty new when I got the bass - they’ve been in a Ziploc bag since then. They were installed with a couple wraps around each tuner on a 34” scale...

Got this in trade a few months ago and nodded it. Nordstrand MM4.4 Series/single/parallel switch - The MM4.4 is a pair of split coils, so even in single mode, it’s completely noiseless Passive volume and tone controls - CTS pots Hipshot Ultralite tuners Black pickguard screws because I had them...

Just took this in trade, but my Dingwall covers all of my 5-string needs. EMG-Hz pickups, 2 band preamp (EDIT: a TB member in the Spector club thread said this is probably the EMG BTS preamp: it has two dipswitches on the PCB), 2 volume controls, neck-through, brass nut. I can understand why...

I have to admit that I love the Bass VI. It's that weird hybrid of a bass and guitar, 30" scale tuned an octave below a guitar (or like a 4 string bass with added high B and E strings, depending on how you want to look at it), developed so that a guitarist could play it with a pick in order to...
