I was reading about Bonnie Raitt's bassist, Hutch Hutchinson, and discovered that Lakland made a signature short-scale model for him. I was curious and looked it up. It shows up on all the usual online stores, but I caught this one and can't believe that it's legit, given the prices --...

I bought a used Ibanez Gio GSR 200 with P/J setup fro $100. Lightweight, sounded great when I tested it in the store. However, every time I use it for more than 10 minutes, it starts to sound like it has fuzztone is built in. I replaced the preamp battery, used it with different cords and amps...

I've had a BG250, the original Mark I with only 1 Toneprint for many years. Recently when loading the combo into the car, I head a "clunk" from inside the cab when it's tipped forward, backward or to the sides. I attempted to take the speaker out to see if something has come loose inside the...

I watched the Netflix documentary about the Creedence Clearwater Revival concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. I was intrigued by Stu Cook's P bass. It had spilt-P pickups at the bridge and center positions and what appeared to be a Rickenbacker toaster or small humbucker at the...

This is a brand new, 2021 Sterling by Music Man SUB Series Ray HH 5-String Bass in Olive Green. It is fresh out of the box and unused except that I set up the bridge saddle heights to eliminate buzzes and set intonation because -- despite what the official SBMM description may state -- neither...

I've been using a Phil Jones Bass BP 800 bass head for about two months now. It is connected to two PJB C8 cabinets, giving it a 4-ohm load. Last night at an outdoor gig with air temperature in the high 80s, the amp or maybe the speakers started to cut out intermittently at the end of the third...

I purchased a used Phil Jones Bass C8 cabinet that has a caster with a broken bolt that cats as the axle. Anyone know of a direct replacement? I also have this question in directly to Phil Jones Ba..

I purchased a used PJB BP 800 head. Running it through either 1 or 2 PJB C8 8-ohm cabs in what I consider to be a rather loud band (Southern/Classic rock, two guitars & keys, drums, singer). When I run the amp with the master volume set around noon and the input level around 1 o'clock, all EQ...

My situation is tricky because it involves relatives of the guy who runs the band, but here goes. I play in a 10-piece band with three horns, two keys, guitar, bass drums, two front men with a total of five singers. We sue IEms with belt packs, individual mix run by a roadie from a PreSonus...

This 1999 Ken Smith BSR5GN 5 String Neck Thru Bass was purchased by me late in 2015 and has been used only three times on gigs. Much to my surprise, I prefer my Lakland USA 55-94 to the Smith, although this bass sounds great and plays fantastically. This is the model before Smith changed preamp...

Offering my pristine 2009 Rickenbacker 4001C64 in Fireglo. Discontinued model patterned after McCartney's before the MMT paintjob. Hardly gigged, excellent shape. Includes hardshell silver Rick case. Asking $2100, firm. Seen them sell on EBay for anywhere from $2300-2800. More pics available...

I recently bought a Gator 4-slot rack case (amp head, power conditioner, wireless -- bottom to top) with the intention of putting it on top of my TC Electonic stack (RS212 & RS210). However, the Gator case is extremely slippery and the top of the cab is rough but offers no holding power. I'm...

Genz-Benz NEOX 112T cab -- Lightweight (37 pounds) cab that puts out a ton of bottom for its size. A nice complement to the 6.0/STL112 which boosts amp output to 600w. Hard to find now that GB is in transition., $400 + shipping to CONUS Available for pickup if you're close to Pittsburgh, PA...

I am offering for sale an unused Candy Apple Red Fender Pawnshop Bass VI. I purchased it this spring in hopes that I would be able to use it a good bit, but I discovered after just a few practice sessions that it's not for me. This is good news for you, because I'm willing to let it go for a...

Although I can read music, I learned to play bass in the '60s by listening to records, and still I do for the most part. My user name says I'm a McCartney fan, so I've always been fascinated by his bass work. Within the last two months I've started a '60s band that covers a lot of Beatles...

Up for sale because I am simply not using it. This is one of the first Cali solidbody fives, made for me just after they were announced at the 2011 NAMM show in Nashville. Had to wait five months to get it. I will post pictures of the actual instrument later, but the link below takes you to an...

Saw Th Tubes Sunday in Pittsburgh and Rick Was playing this Hohner HRB5. Very nice sound through an SVT, and he is one solid bassist! Always liked his playing but this is the first time I've seen him in small venue, and he plays a bit more in the five-piece lineup than he did when the...

Has anyone had success coupling the TC Electronic RH450 or RH750 --or any of the TC heads -- with 115 cabs? Wondering why TC doesn't offer one?

Anyone know if the replacement covers have the foam strip/mute inside as on the original?

Don Oriolo has produced a standup version of the Hofner Beatle bass. Don also makes Felix the Cat themed guitars & basses. WELCOME to ORIOLO GUITARS !. A fun guy & talented player and artist.

I've been running a Shuttle 6.0 with no problems for almost three years. The cab setup is rather strange, though. I run a GB NEOX 112T (8 ohms) and an SLT-112T (8 ohms), which under normal circumstances would be more than enough for me. However, our sound man wanted to "fill" the stage and...

Down to one bass now: [ Epiphone Zenith acoustic electric, natural finish. Chambered body. Piezo & mag pickups. Includes hardshell Epiphone case. Excellent shape, hasn't been played in six months. Purchased early 2010. $750 shipped Pics are available but, honestly, it looks just like...

Fender is rolling out the 60th Anniversary Precision, and it looks a whole lot like Lakland's new 44-51M. Or does the Lakland look a whole like the Fender? Both USA made. Contoured body, P split PUP, four individual bridge saddles; 1.625" nut width. The Lakland has the usual Lakland headstock...

'51 P in two versions as well as an active Jazz-style

McCartney's remastered and repackaged band on The Run will be available Nov. 1. You can pre-order now and download two live tracks by Wings in 1979 -- "BOTR" And "No Words for My Love." The bass sound on the live BOTR is phenomenal and he does some great melodic noodling on the other -- I...

As Tom Bowlus mentioned elsewhere on TB, one of the more interesting exhibitors at Summer NAMM 2010 in Nashville last week was Pierre Erizias, a Canadian builder of handmade boutique basses. I played his Jazz bass and a sweet fretless. Check out his website: Link Removed Pierre's a great guy...

I attended the Summer NAMM show in Nashville last weekand want to give props to a great band I heard at the 3rd & Linsley club on Friday. Midnight Riders is an Allman Brothers tribute band headquartered in Nashville, and if you live there or anywhere within driving distance, go there and see...

This may be a dumb question, but does the DI output level from the Shuttle 6.0 change when I change the master volume on the amp? I have been running a Radial Bassbone as a Di, then taking that signal to the amp. Last week I tried taking the signal direct from the Shuttle DI and I couldn't...

Title says it all.

I thought Gretsch had gone crazy by producing the $10 eddie Cochran Sig guitar, but I saw these two from Warwiock today: Adam Clayton Reverso: $12,500 Invalid Link Removed Bootsy Star Sig: $12K Invalid Link Removed Poor Jack Bruce: His Warwick Sig model is less than $10K. Invalid...

I know there was thread about NAMM that mentioned the new Gerald Veasley bass from Ibanez, but it don't show up in search. Anyway, just thought I'd mention that list price is $6666.66, or $1,111.11 per string. Glad it's not seven-string.

In one of the NAMM threads, someone said they'd heard about a TL sig model coming from EBMM. I didn't see athing in the NAMM releases, so I asked Tony on his Facebook page. Here's his response: "Nope, I know nothing about that, and I assume I would know if it were in the works." So, I...

Just had to post this link, given some of the discussion here lately on excessive volume. The link in the story to the Youtube video is very instructional. Invalid Link Removed

Lookin' for a cheap fretless, and the $99 SX Fretless P bass looks like the right price. I play fretless very little, but it comes in handy three or four times a year for some tunes. I looked at but haven't played the Dean Pace, and I don't want to spring $400 for a fretless I used very...

I've picked up a used Skyline JO5 with Fralin pickups and am wondering if any of you have installed a Audere preamp on this configuration. I like the idea of having a blend knob with three band EQ. My main bass is a Lakland 55-94 -- alsowondering if I should just go the passive route on the JO...

Any fans of Jimmy Messa and Tim Cook, bassists for the Subdudes? I think they're both masters of understatement and playing just what's right for the song.

Anyone else fan? Saw him in Pittsburgh August 14 and appreciated his sound and lines. Plays upright as well as a Lakland JO.

Spud Rock! (available at WalMart)
