I currently play a Thunderfunk 750 but I need a backup. What is it you don't like about the sound.

I have a TF 750a that I like a lot but it is heavy and bulky. I'm very interested in what you think of the comparison.

Starting in the late 60's Gibson Kalamazoo, 2-10', 10-15w tube amp (couldn't afford a Bassman) Ampeg B15 fliptop Kustom Kasino 2-15's & later added Kasino 2-15" powered extension cabinet. G-K RB-400 & JBL 1-15" cabinet w/ E140 Later... added another JBL 1-15" cabinet & QSC MX700, used...

I have an AE112 that also buzzes. I found on one side the grill was barely touching the cabinet and that was the source of the buzz. I loosened all the mounting screws, used old credit cards as spacers, and retightened the screws. Took the credit card spacers out and it worked fine.

+1 You will get a very realistic upright sound, especially if you can play through an Acoustic Image amp. Have plenty of spare strings b/c they break quite easily. Good Luck!

I do like smoother finished strings, it's probably my lack of technique, but I think the string needs to fit the bass. I realize it's cost prohibitive for a lot of players to experiment but here's what I use. On my Roscoe Century Standard 5 string I use GHS pressure wounds b/c they're a good...

I just got a Rob Allen Mouse 30 to play for the gigs where the amplified upright is too much trouble and the Roscoe is just too much. I've only played it a couple of gigs but I'm lovin' it. Great sound if you like that tone that leans to upright vibe.

I have a Carvin LB75 with ebony fretboard that I converted to fretless. I also have a Roscoe Century 5-string with frets. From my experience, when I got the Carvin (with frets), I was never satisfied with the way the B string sounded. I finally broke down and got the Roscoe. The B string is...

PM back at you.

There are several guys in Nashville that rave about this bass. They mostly play on bluegrass circuit and like the laminated bass (think Kay) sound.

Has anyone tried the Chadwick Folding Bass? Invalid Link Removed

What kind of tone... clanking and buzzing. Ease up, let the string come through.

Do people out there really think the Fishman is not a viable pre-amp??

Link Removed This is link to some very helpful technique and warmup CD's. I keep them in the car to warmup before gigs. That said, I really didn't understand vocal production and how to breathe correctly until I took lessons.

Is there anyone else out there that uses a Fishman Platinum EQ for electric bass guitar as well as double bass? I do b/c I think the Fishman compressor is the best, only compressing the mids and not the highs and lows. I play electric through a Carvin BX500 into 2 Bergantino AE112's and I can...

SOLD!

I practiced (never played out) in a Django style gypsy band. The rhythm guitarist was an artist that painted formulaic type seaside landscapes that he sold to Florida retirees as "real" art. We practiced in his studio. He had this vision of us playing and looking like the the Hot Club with...

I"ve got 10+ years on you and I have found, you never have to act your age.

+1 on the Bobelok, much like a Mooradian at half the cost.

'64 Gibson EB-0 and a Kalamazoo amp.

You're a bass player.. power is your friend... low clarity on bass is usually a problem of not enough power. I have a BX500 and have had zero problems.

Do you guys really think that sublety of tone really makes a difference in the total band sound?

Bump for new lower price.

I got my first Real Book in 1978. I live in NC and was told to call this particular music store in Buffalo, NY. I called and asked about the book. They said, "Who is this please". I explained I was told to call this number about the book and they said, "Well, if one was to mail a check for...

You can't go wrong with Tuki covers.

The thread is not showing closed. It's listed in Classifieds, For Sale: Accessories and the title is: FS: 1966 Jazz Bass Neck.

It is indeed a real 1966 neck. See the following thread in the classifieds for pictures. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=697476&highlight=1966

Bump for new lower price!

It's straight as an arrow with the naked eye.

Lollipop tuners, original to the bass when I got it in 1970, some mild corrosion. Two screws different. I have no idea which two are original but it was like that when I got it.

Mild scarring on the fretboard between 7th and 9th frets. Some finish peeling off the back of the neck probably due to the time spent in the attic.

1966 Jazz bass neck only. For history of this bass see thread, http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=696779 May have been refinished sometime in the sixties, either way no decals. Has not been on a bass since I foolishly destroyed the body in the mid seventies. Truss rod good. I...

Age old problem, bass player's are not allowed to have egos or an outside life. I play with three different groups. Up front I told everyone, the first that asks gets me, no matter what the money, and family comes first. I really haven't had any problems b/c everyone feels the same way. It...

It is a rosewood fretboard, bound with dot inlays. I'll post pictures when I list it in the classified section this weekend. Thanks to all for the advice.

I was one of those people that was enamored of Barry Oakley's bass and the Allman Brothers sound. I had a 1966 Jazz I bought used that had been refinished in someone's garage but it sounded good. Then the neck pickup shorted out. I was in my second year of electronics school at the time and...

A picture of the body and neck of my Mouse 30 that's in the shop now.

Scott LaFaro w/ Bill Evans... your transcribing work has been done over and over. All you need to do is learn to play it right.

In the late 70's I met George Duvivier playing with Teddy Wilson, very nice man. In the early 80's I met Percy Heath playing with brothers Jimmy and Tootie while helping with sound at a show. Percy was gracious but not as outgoing as Tootie. After the show we were tearing down and playing...
