Okay, so you can't just post a link to Gollihur's string ID page for this one - I'm Gollihur, and I don't have this one on there, and I can't find any info on it. A customer is trying to find this string for her bass (the photos are of a bass she no longer has access to). It's the G string...

Howdy folks- I have a customer in the Riverside/San Bernardino area of Southern CA who has a new-ish fully carved bass with a minor split that needs a maintenance repair (it's been repaired once, but appears to be opening up again). Wondering if anyone in that area (or, if not there, near...

The news has already been getting around, and I don't see an official notice, so... The Upright Bass world has lost another one of the good ones. We are deeply saddened to report that Dr. Richard (Rick) Jones, the founder of Acoustic Image, passed away suddenly on April 17. Our own Bob...

Howdy, folks - just dropping in to post a quick message. You may have heard on the news about a powerful (EF3+) tornado wreaking havoc in the small southern NJ town of Mullica Hill on Wednesday, 9/1. Several music friends and customers have reached out to make sure that my family is okay...

Important note: This is a private sale of personally-owned electric bass equipment, and is not associated with my music store (which specializes in upright bass gear - see Commercial User Dislosure). I'm helping Bob Gollihur (my dad) sell off some of his "extra" personal bass gear. This is his...

Heads up: in a hour (at noon EST) , NS Design is hosting a live online event. It's a roundtable about the NS Design Electric Upright Basses, and they had a pretty robust chat-room going on Tuesday when they covered the Radius Electric Bass. Might be worth dropping in...

In 1996, I bought a brand new PBC 356-GTB six-string bass directly from (at) the PBC factory in Coopersburg, PA. I instantly fell in love with it, and played (and continue to play) it as my main bass, through an 8-year stint with my band, Second Story, as well as beyond. I'd always thought it...

I made this a new thread rather than posting in the dozens of various threads for Blues, Animas, Garbos, etc... It was pretty much a foregone conclusion, as they've not made any strings in over 18 months, but I did finally get in touch with my longtime contact at Velvet Strings, and he...

We just released our album today, and there are some tracks bass players might find fun. "Truth Is..." features a 12-string bass "Abducted" has me using Funk Fingers (a la Tony Levin) "Dancing on the Hill" also uses Funk Fingers, but with distortion

Wondering what's out there for blending an active pickup with a bridge with piezos nowadays. I have a Bartolini in the bass that's apparently gone a little wonky. The bass has a Lane Poor soapbar and individual piezos under each saddle on the bridge. Looking for something that has a blend knob...

Note: I am a commercial user on Talkbass, but this is a personal sale not affiliated with my store - and it is not something that we carry at the store. I have specifically asked - and been granted - permission to sell this personal item here. For sale is a like new Remic D5400 LB, (aka "Green"...

NAMM 2017: new Traynor SB106 I didn't go to NAMM this year, but this looks good. These should be available late May, List is $599, US Retail is $399. Full disclosure, I sell Traynor, so I'll leave it to the peanut gallery to discuss from here, especially since I haven't heard one yet. But...

I've been talking to one of my customers via email, and he's asking about string gauges and tonal effects of switching gauges; we got on a tangent about "growl" and he didn't know what I was talking about. So I'm planning on taking some of that to create a new FAQ on the site, but I'm having a...

We are disappointed and sad to announce that Innovation has unexpectedly, and on very short notice, closed their manufacturing facility and will no longer be able to make Innovation Bass Strings. Our shop (and other retailers, I assume) has stock of most of their string sets as of mid-December...

Has anyone ever come across one of these Martello adjustable bridges? Mario Invalid Link Removed, but he had patented his "wedge" system for adjustable stringed instrument bridges (he mostly made them for acoustic/archtop guitars and mandolins, apparently.) Pretty nifty, though. I'm trying...

Just a fun little post for your Monday. I often get calls from folks looking to purchase Thomastik or Pirastro strings that have the "weich" designation. I've heard quite an array of mispronunciations, and figured I'd pass on the "correct" pronunciation, so the next time you call up your...

Hey, I would have posted this in the "Lessons" forum, where the teachers hang out, but I don't have posting rights there (I'm not a bass teacher.) Anyway, we're posting a totally free (to both teachers and prospective students - no catch!) directory of upright bass teachers on the site...

So... I'm seriously considering selling off my drum kit. This is a tremendous-sounding kit, but after some introspection, I would like to scale back to an electronic kit for the home studio. Obviously, I'd love to sell this as one full package, but that may be impractical. Here's the rundown of...

I have three pedals for sale. I purchased them brand new to try an experiment, trying to replicate a particular tone. The pedals have about 30 minutes total on them, and this is in my home studio only. They were then boxed back up and have been kept like new ever since. They are: 1. GRAPHIC...

I got a few pedals to try an experiment in getting a particular tone. This pedal has about 30 minutes of home use, and then it was boxed back up in its package, where it's been since. Works great, sounds pretty good too. Cheap EQ for your bass. $25 by PayPal gets it shipped anywhere in the...

Peavey Spectrum DPM Bass Sound Module: Cool electric, acoustic, and synth bass sounds from a simple-to-operate MIDI module (one rack space). Gets those great retro sounds, including some really fat synth basses. This works very well with the Yamaha G50 MIDI converter I also have for sale...

TASCAM DA-38 - 8-track digital tape studio recorder. Was a studio standard a number of years back. This unit has low hours on it and works flawlessly. I bought and used it to dump down an old studio recording onto my DAW for re-mixing, and it worked perfectly for that use. If you're reading...

Yamaha G-50 Guitar-to-MIDI converter! Got a Midi pickup from Roland, Yamaha, or Axon, with 13-pin output? Got a guitar or bass with 13-pin output, like a Godin, Brian Moore or Roland-ready Strat? The G50 will take your bass or guitar notes/chords separately from each string and convert them...

This is my personal microphone; this sale is not associated with Gollihur Music. I have an AMT side-mount (clamp-style) condenser mic for upright bass for sale. It is their top-of-the-line model, which includes the "Super Preamp" (which has dual XLR outputs and a "line driver" for direct...

My 19 month-old daughter, Cora - happy and singing away this morning on the way to daycare (actually - in the parking lot - I couldn't video while I was driving). YouTube link of Cora Singing "Twinkle Twinkle"

SOLD! Figure it's time to let my Ashbory go to a new home. I have too many specialty instruments and this one doesn't really get enough play. She's in perfect playing condition; all strings are well balanced volume-wise, and the active preamp (vol/treb/bass) works flawlessly. No noise on the...
