Markbass Little Mark Ninja amp. 1000 watts @ 4 ohms / 600 watts @ 8 ohms. Excellent condition. I bought this new in October 2019 for large venues and festivals. The pandemic shut those down for a long time and I mostly gig in smaller venues since then. This amp has been used for 6 or 7 gigs...

-----SOLD----- Slampegg Bee Pre X - great condition: $150 -----SOLD----- Hand-wired Underground Accelerator - good condition other than some missing logo letters on the bottom: $200. I bought these pedals recently from helpful TBers and they sound great, but I've decided to stick with my...

For many happy years, I have been using a Markbass head (LMIII or Ninja) with one or two fEARful 12/6s. I love the amp/cab combination, but I rarely have outdoor or really loud gigs in the past few years, so I have an unused 12/6 sitting around. Most of my gigs now are small-to-medium venues...

Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble in good condition. I love being able to leave the bottom end clean and dial in chorus on the highs only, but I haven’t had the opportunity to use this pedal for a long time, so I’m letting it go. $65 (PayPal) shipped CONUS.

Diamond BCP-1 bass compressor pedal. Excellent condition with original box, power supply, and adapter. $165 (PayPal) shipped CONUS.

Iron Ether Nimbus in perfect condition with original box and manual. Never left the house and was rarely used. GREAT pedal, but I'm not using it and it should be out there reverberating! $225 (PayPal) shipped CONUS.

Fishman Full Circle, 1/4"-20. I bought this pickup from Gollihur Music in December, 2016. Due to an injury, I stopped playing double bass shortly after and never installed it. It has been on a shelf in my studio ever since. Perfect condition in original box. $180 including shipping CONUS.

I've really been getting into Altin Gün, which is a Dutch-based band playing funky, psychedelic rock versions of Turkish folk tunes. I love Jasper Verhulst's bass playing. In the videos I've seen, he is playing with a pick on an old Hagstrom bass that sounds like it is wearing flats. I like...

When I find a brand that works for me, I tend to be loyal in a non-fanatical way. I’ve stuck with Marbass amps for years, love fEARful cabs, and have driven Hondas since the late 90s. TI Jazz Flats have been my go-to strings for almost 20 years. Until recently, I had them on my four main...

Anyone out there using a Ninja? My well-used, Italian-made, class AB LMIII is now about 10 years old and has a ton of miles on it. I also have a beat up, 12-year-old LMII I use for practice and back-up. I've tried many different amps, but I love the warm, clean, articulate sound of the LMIII...

In all the years that I've been playing bass, I've never tried bridging an amp. I gig with a Markbass LMIII (class AB) into 1 or 2 fEARful 12/6s and for 99% of gigs, I have more than enough volume. I've always read that fEARful cabs really open up with more power, especially at 8 ohms, and my...

I recently bought a Schaller bass bridge for my home-built short-scale fretless. I had used a traditional bent-plate Fender-style bridge, but it was just ever so slightly too wide. It worked, but I would occasionally pull the G-string off the side of the fingerboard, so I was looking for a...

Gamut Pistoy Light gut D-string in very good condition. I bought this a couple of weeks ago from ctxbass. It sounded great on my old Kay bass and was an improvement over the Lenzner gut D I was using previously. I've decided to go back to Spiro Weichs, and this is too nice a string to sit...

I have a '45 Kay C1 which is currently wearing Spiro Weich E and A, a Gamut gut D (light), and a gut Lenzner G. Even with the two gut strings, the upper wing of the f-hole on the G-string side is indented by about 1/4 inch, and the lower wing is slightly proud of the top. The E-string side is...

I recently bought a bass on Craigslist that I hope to bring back to life. I felt bad for this poor torture victim, so I bought it cheap. The bass was a mess. The heel area had been crudely repaired with with Bondo and the entire bass painted black. The bridge's feet had been sawed off and the...

Underwood pickup in good condition. I bought this pickup new in the early '90s and it has always sounded good on my '45 Kay. I only put it on the bass when I had a gig and attached it to the tailpiece with with a black shoelace (instead of the original zip-tie), so that I could easily take it...

Thomastik Infeld Dominants, 3/4 orchestra. I bought these a couple of years ago, but never used them. Brand new in the original box. $175 shipped CONUS. Paypal preferred.

Zoom MS-60B Multistomp bass pedal. This pedal is brand new and has never left the house. I got it for Christmas and have never used it. I've been mostly playing upright bass for the past year and have no use for it. $70 shipped CONUS (with original box and materials). Paypal preferred.

1950 Kay M1 - $1700 I have a nice 1950 (serial #22973) Kay M1 for sale. It has been recently given a professional set up with some upgrades. The fingerboard was dressed, coat hangar tailwire replaced with aircraft cable, and bridge adjusters were installed. Someone in the past had moved the...

==SOLD== I have a Fishman Platinum Pro Bass EQ for sale for $75 shipped (CONUS, PayPal). It is in excellent condition and sounds great. The only thing "wrong" with it are the two small grooves I carved into the housing on top to allow me to attach it securely to a pedalboard with a zip tie...

I absolutely love my 12/6 with both electric and double bass and have not needed more volume so far. However, I sometimes play outside or without PA support and may want more oomph at some point. I would love to build another 12/6, but I'm getting ready to go through a career change and won't...

Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 in excellent condition. SOLD I bought this from a TBer about 3 months ago and while it sounds great, it just isn't my sound. I played one gig with it. It will be shipped in its original box. I also have a brand new rackmount kit for it that has never been used...

I've been using LMII/LMIII amps for a while now and have been happy for the most part. I recently switched from using 2 GS112s to a fEARful 12/6 (thanks dhomer!) and loved the LMIII tone with the new cab. I played an outside festival a few weeks ago and wanted more 8-ohm power for the cab, so...

Markbass LittleMark III in great condition. I used this amp on about 15 gigs and it has always been kept in a case. I never used it at home, so it doesn't have a lot of hours on it. Sounds great! I recently went with an amp with more 8-ohm power for use with a fEARful 12-6. $375 shipped...

I'm having a problem with my '45 Kay and hope I might get some advice before taking it to the luthier. When I play hard (pizz) on the E string, I get a nasty vibration. It started out as a short-lived vibration only when I really dug in, but it is now becoming more noticeable when I play the...

I recently bought a flat-back plywood bass with guts on it that was in pretty rough shape. The seller said he bought it used in 1972 and it had been untouched in a closet for the past 12 years. It had an old set of guts (with a metal G) on it, but the bass was not really playable, due to the...

I've been using two Aguilar GS112s for a few years now and I'm really happy with them for the most part. I play a lot of reggae and love the deep bottom end and ease of transport. I replaced the stock speakers with Eminence Deltalite II 2512s which gave me a bit more midrange (I think). I...

I just bought a used Longhorn which sounds good, but there is one thing I don't understand about this bass and other Danos I've tried. Both pickups together are much louder than each one individually, to the point that switching during a song seems like it would be problematic. I've built...

In my last couple of builds, I have used T-nuts inlaid under the fingerboard. They seem to be working just fine. I was just reading the "Neck bolts and anchors" thread, and was wondering if my cheap T-nut method has any big disadvantages compared to the anchors discussed in that thread...

Please excuse me if this topic has been covered before. I searched, and didn't find anything. I need work done on my '50's Englehardt; installation of new endpin and bridge adjusters, regluing loose fingerboard, and checking the soundpost. I am mostly a slab player, but want to dive back...

I play a weekly club gig (reggae, funk, blues) with a couple of my best buddies. We have been playing this gig for about 4 years now, sometimes to a decent, excited crowd, and sometimes to empty chairs. Here is my dilemma... One of my bandmates is a great sax and harp player, and has a...

I am building a five-string fretless, and decided to try a flat fingerboard. I bought the Ultra-Jazz pickups, and it turns out that the pole pieces are radiused. The outside pole pieces are flush with the case, and the middle pieces are the highest. I'm worried about unequal string-to-string...

Until recently, I have used two GS112's, but in the search for better mids, I just added a 2x10. I plan to use one GS112 with the 2x10, and tried it at a festival yesterday. It sounded good. I recently ordered (but have not get received) a new PA system. I am wondering if my extra GS112...

I must confess to being an idiot when it comes to switches; for some reason, they confuse me. I recently rewired my bass (homemade fretless with two humbuckers), which has two mini-switches for series/single coil/parallel. I took the pots out entirely and now would like to rewire the...

Has anyone replaced a Aguilar GS112 speaker? I've had two GS112s for about a year, and recently one of them started "farting" during a gig. I tested it at home, and it is distorting even at low volumes. I've been powering them with a Sansamp RBI and a Yamaha CP2000. I usually run the amp...

I've been gigging fairly heavily with my two GS-112s and couldn't be happier with the sound. The only problem I've found is that I find myself wishing the cab had another handle when moving it around. Do you think it would adversely effect the tone to add an identical handle to the other side?

I'm curious as to how you guys mix the kick drum and the bass. Our drummer is our soundman as well, and is very talented at both, but he loves a huge kick drum sound. He also mixes the bass very low and deep, which I love, but it gets mushy with the bass and kick in the same sonic space...

I want to run a Yamaha CP2000 poweramp bridged into 2 Aguilar DS-112s for the massive headroom. The Yamaha only has binding posts for bridging, and my cabs have Speakons and 1/4" inputs. Is it OK to use binding posts on one end or a cable, and 1/4" on the other? I realize it would be better to...

I went to the local music store to look for a power conditioner for my new rig (rack-mounted Yamaha CP2000 poweramp and a Sansamp RBI preamp). The salesman told me that power conditioners are not made for power amps and that I shouldn't use one, or I might damage my amp. I've never heard that...
