    Valeton mini bass head

    Lately I've been getting more interested in small power, tabletop bass amps. I stumbled across this one while net surfing. Anybody try one of these yet, know anything about them? The company seems to be into the mini-device market, but I've never heard of them before...

    RIP Brian Wilson

    Wasn't a fan back in the day, but came to appreciate his work with The Beach Boys and solo stuff as I got older. Incredible talent, RIP.

    Replacement neck suggestions for Squier CV'60's bass

    Recently picked up a Squier CV'60's P bass and I'm not real crazy about the neck. I've been pretty much a Jazz bass guy, but I do have a MIJ P bass with a Jazz neck. Love the way this one sounds, but I just can't get used to that P neck. This one seems even wider than most, past the 7th fret...

    Questions about Squier Necks

    I want to tweak the neck on my CV 60's P bass. The wrench I usually use for my MIA Jazz, doesn't do anything with my Squier, just turns round and round without adjusting the truss. Squier has headstock adjustment for truss , while Jazz has heel access. Is there a special wrench I need for the...

    Fender Rumble 800 head only.

    There is quite a deal available to me for a sightly used Fender Rumble 800 head. I know nothing about this amp, or the Rumbles , for that matter. Anyone have any opinions on this head, compared to other 800 watt heads? I like the 2 ohm option, but don't know much about the EQ options. Did a...

    Not sure this is the right forum, so please move if needed. Got this email from Barefaced today, prices going up.

    For Sale/Trade Mesa Subway 212

    Up for sale is my pristine, Mesa Subway 212. I really love this cab, but at age 75, it has become a bit of a hard schlepp for me, at 18.25" deep, and 52 lbs. I bought this from TB'er, K'mon, back in January, and it is just as pictured in that ad. I did get a generic, slip cover for it. No...

    A question about sanding a neck

    I have a 1995, passive Fender Jazz, 4 string that I love the sound of, but am finding the neck to be somewhat thicker, ( front to back ), than I am comfortable with. I would call it a " high " C shape. I thought about replacing it with a thinner neck if I could find one, but then thought about...

    Simple Pitch Changer Pedal ?

    Before I load up some transposer software on my PC, I was wondering if there was something like this in pedal form? For example, a singer I work with sometimes does not sing a cover in the original key. If the song is in Ab and he wants to do it in A, is there a pedal I could plug in to where I...

    Bach's Air Bass Part

    I'm interested in learning the actual bass part of this Bach classic, not the "melody", but the part the Bass player would play in say, a quartet. Other than going to my local classical orchestra and begging for a copy, does anyone ever play this and have a sheet music, tab of this ? I can't...

    A Tribute To Ronnie Baker

    I know this gets labeled " disco ", but I think its one of the funkiest, groove oriented bass lines ever. How in the world did he come up with that beginning run ? I don't think this guy gets enough credit. In my opinion, he's right up there with Jamerson. Harold Melvin &...

    Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1

    I have the box set of this band, and pulled it out the other day for a listen. There are photos of Petty with a Dano bass, but is he actually the bass player on Vol 1 also ? I can't find a bass player listed until Vol. 3, where " Clayton " Wilbury is listed as playing bass.

    Subway 215 vs. Subway 212, sonic differences ?

    Different lyrics, same song ?

    I know songs get copied a lot, especially old Blues songs, and some Rock songs. But, to me, Tennessee Whiskey is a blatant rip off of I'd Rather Go Blind. Same arrangement, same little guitar riffs, same bass line, and sung pretty much note for note, with different lyrics. Anybody else feel this...
