    Warwick Rockboard V6+ power supply

    I just got this today from Sweetwater via eBay. It's quite small and lightweight, fixed my noise issue with my ToneX One. Seems like a very nice power supply for the $100 spent. Anyone using one from this line?

    Tower of Power with the St. Louis Symphony

    Good morning all. I had the opportunity to wat ToP with the SLSO last night for a great show. Marc van Wageningen was playing through (what I believe to be) an Aguilar DB750/751 and an Aguilar 410 cab. He was not sporting the Fodera I was used to seeing, but instead was using, what appeared...

    NBD - Lightwave Classica 5-string

    I've played it live once and done lots of tweaking. I THINK it's a keeper. I've wanted an acoustic sounding 5-string (35" scale a huge bonus). Very little on this model. It's likely a 2004, appears to be an ebony fretboard, quilted maple top swamp ash body. It's built great, very unique sound...

    I always avoided selling to Guitar Center....

    And that trend will continue. I saw the following on their site and decided to take my Magnum III with ohsc in for an estimate. Grey burst, great shape. The guy assessing it (their tech in the corner) was blown away, played it for about 20 minutes. The guy at the counter gathering data for...

    Need a blend pot for Audere Classic Preamp

    Title pretty much sums it up. I emailed David at Audere, but I know he's closed his business, so I understand if he doesn't have the time or desire to help out. I have a pre running two pickups, but they didn't order it with a blend, so that part of the board is empty. Any and all help...

    NBD - short scale sterling stingray

    Popped up on FB marketplace for 2 bills. I had to jump on it at that price. Needed a cleanup, but plays beautifully, and feels really nice. If anyone knows the electronics, please post! Just a bit of buckle rash, other than that, great shape. Has a wonderful neck, similar to my Big Al.

    NBD finally got my unicorn

    It's not fancy, or expensive. But I've been looking for one off and on since about 2010. Glad to have one in the fold.

    NBD - "you're gonna hate it"

    Had some cash in my pocket and the YouTubers convinced me to take a swing on this one. Took some setting up, battery was dead on arrival, as well as the A string. But with some SS DR lo riders, it's growling. Nice neck, nice fretwork. Good balance, more compact than I expected. A winner in...

    Advice on neck contour change

    Good Morning LC. I have a bass I bought from China that is a nice sounding bass, but the neck is early 00's warwick chunky I would prefer more of a USA peavey cirrus/millennium or MTD asymmetrical neck profile, and I figured, why not learn to carve a neck on one that is already done. What...

    TalkBass Absolutes. Assimilate, or move to Reddit.

    These are the rules. I didn't make them up, I just repeat them mindlessly. Jazz basses get lost in the mix. A Precision bass is all you need in the studio. If you don't show up to the gig with a FSO, no one will take you seriously. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Slap is...

    Purple is the new Orange. New color from Orange!

    this will make the folks concerned with neck-dive pass out, but I love this. Checkerboard binding is a nice touch, and it looks great with both guards. O Bass – Orange Amps

    Vintage Fender experts, unite and assist

    I was asked by an acquaintance from church to help figure out what he has. I have a good idea but want to confirm it's all legit and not random parts. It appears to be a 1975 Jazz Bass and a 63-65 precision. The jazz appears to be all original to me. The truss rod turns and the neck...

    Bela Fleck - my bluegrass heart live

    Home Theater brain trust collective

    I've been dipping my toe into the world of home theater recently, as our family (5, 8, 10, spouse) all enjoy playing nintendo switch together and we do about 2-3 movie nights a week. It's a relatively small room, which is great for saving on power, but harder to get spatial audio done well. My...

    Bought this used for $25. Expected small but this is silly. Sounds like it should, has trails which is why I got it. Also traded in my crummy koogo delay in towards a used volume pedal at music go round. Very pleased with this iem setup.

    Road Dog coated bass strings

    I took a swing on these from Amazon. At $13, not a terrible risk. I was shopping elixir, and these came up as coated so I bought them. They came in today so I installed on my Spector. They sound pretty nice out of the box, like new nickels should. Plenty bright for coated, feel more like...

    Triple pickup medium scale made all fancy!

    This was my very first build. I got a bunch of random parts off of ebay in high school/college and slapped them together. it was ok. i used a woodburner and put a bunch of celtic/gaelic designs on it, and it was unique and mine. I never really played it and thought I wanted something more...

    New hybrid bass from Godin

    I actually like this idea! If I didn't want to own many basses, this would be on a short list, especially playing at church where you go from acoustic/folk type music to rock in a short "set". I dig it and love LR Bagg stuff for acoustic sounds RG-4 Ultra Carbon White RN | Godin Guitars

    Good evening. I just wired up this bass and the &^*#* isn't working as expected. First, one half of the Precision pickup is dead silent, not working at all. I can't find a wire break, no idea. The two Jazz pickups are working fine, but the output is really really really low. like, much...

    New budget toys and 50 shades of Grit

    Howdy. I've been trying to find a way to use my pedalboard direct with IEM's as an alternative to my POD HD500X. I really like the Orange Kongpressor much better than any comp in the POD. I only have 1 pedal that most of you will respect, but I'm cool with that. I just ordered the Joyo...

    Help me replace my HD500X with smaller Amp Sim

    There are more cool pedals/processors out there now than I can keep up with. I run IEM's, direct, and have been using my POD HD500X very happily as my "amp". I still like the sounds, but I'm using my pedal board as well, and it's just a lot of space. Anything that can replace this unit...
