Just picked up a Seafoam Green Vintage for 299. God this thing feels great. I haven't been jazzed about a 300 dollar bass in a long time but I love this thing

and that win against Blurred Lines was pure BS

should the first guy to play an 8th note backbeat get all music royalties? seriously, marvin gaye's family is going to rui the already crap show that is the music industry

bought one of these as a back up......as I had a Minimark3 that got a bit wonky that has since been repaired but of course my confidence is a lil shakey. Saw this, was intrigued by it. small, adorable, plenty of power for a back up. God I love this little thing. It sounds...

Got one. That is a solid bass. It opens eyes when I play it. It opens even more eyes when I tell them how much it costs. Pisses through 9 volts like a champ but other than that? No complaints.

all of this....lol

Add me to the club. Just picked 1 up. Played it with a littlemark for a half hour and was sold. Kinda shocked how great this sounds for the price. It's a steal

I saw the same thing on my feed. I've heard of Michael Kelly and am here waiting to see other's inputs cause....damn....they look good as hell don't they?

this already exists, it's called a Vintage microtubes pedal :-)

this is a question of perspective, in all fairness. Yes, if someone invaded my home for any purposes (steal or otherwise) it would be met with harsh sanctions....and I have a dim view of people that do that sort of thing, but I'm certainly not going to fault the OP for feeling bad as...

I'll also youtube cover versions to see what the bass player does as well sometimes to see how strict they are to the original, particular for songs that sit between "iconic bass line" and not.......the tweeners if you will. And truth be told, where I can get away of doing some of my own...

I'm in the school of, unless a bass line is very recognizable and iconic, no need to learn it exactly note for note as it is on the record (at least to start to make a song playable). I'll certainly look at the details as I learn it better and rob ideas from it of course.....that's how you...

Luckily there are already a lot of good choices here. The easiest is Ibanez soundgear line. Here's a darkhorse pick you might want to look for on the used market around you.........Yamaha RBX A4. So much good sound and so light it's shocking. used should be sub 3....maybe a little...

I can say from experience that a little mark 3 powers it quite nicely

Truth be told, if you're making it a project bass with a neck swap, you're probably going to change the pick ups too. that said I like the Duncan Designed. Another factor, i think the neck pocket on the fretless is different than the fretted models, I swapped a fretted neck on and it...

I like Yamaha's. Find there qiality to be surprisignly high for it's price point. I have 2 RBXa2's and love em to death. I've played the BB line and they seem to be built like tanks for the most part so I wouldnt think longevity will be an issue. I like Jazz basses but the MiM's are just...

Never willfully get into a physical altercation with anyone in there own home. You walked away, and that was the smart thing to do.

Yamaha rbxa2 for a little over 250. Such a great bass for that price. Light, great tone. Very playable.

Waaaaay too much drama. You already know the answer here. He is under impression that he has to show 0 respect to your band and no matter what you guys will always take it. Question is, is he right?

I've learned that blues players, while they can be really cool, can also be some of the most arrogant musicians that walk the earth. Your drummer sounds like drummers I have played with. Some get off on knocking other musicians, believe it or not it's sometimes not a constructive...

Seems to be a growing trend. I've seen ads around here for bassist that lead sing?

I have no problem playing for free for such events. But paying anything, least of all 500 bucks? No way Stay home. The juice is no where worth the squeeze on this one

My diy frankenjazz. This started as a test platform for me to practice and experiment with mods over the years but love the final result. And so does anyone I play with, as this bass is the one bandmates always want me to bring. Was tempted to swap to a nice warmth body but am afraid...

ding ding ding...we have a winnah!!! Funny thing about violence, it has a habit of escalating. to me, this isnt a debate about playing in bars....yes, bars will have the occasional fight, it happens. if one location has a fight....directly involving your band....every time you play...

how do they know who you are to fine you? Just curious. Do they ID you?

didnt think to email Audere, though I have since tried to wire it up passive......same result. pretty much ruled out the Audere. Incidentally, installed the Audere into my Squier vintage modified fretted bass just for kicks.....oddly it has 3 wire pickups too, easy to see which is pos, neg...

got an email back from Lace, they were not to familiar with the Audere, though they said it looked pretty cool :bassist: they basically brought all the same recommendations you guys gave me, all have bee tried....all have varying degrees of buzz (and all buzz way too much to tolerate)...

Orange was connected to hot, It's the only part of the install so far I have confidence in being right..lol Sorry about that, the white wire with black stripe is one wire, and I did refer to it as just white earlier in the thread. with how much i tinker with the bass, and the rest of...

no dice, green to common and the black and white to the cavity ground yields no sound from the pickups (though the volume knob makes a fuzzy sound when moved) thanks though, it was something I haven't tried. I am starting to get the sneaky suspicion that these pickups + active preamp...

Now this is wierd, and i hope someone can shed light on this. I wired it back to normal, buzz is there of course. I notice when I take either pickup out of it's poket and face it away from the other pickup (on it' side or upsidedown) the buzz goes away (??) not just that, it...

alright, I tried option 2. good news is she is dead quiet when the pick ups are split down the middle. the bad news? the low end drops off, becomes thin and thready.......place the pick up knob even slightly in one direction and the bottom end comes back. while it seems to hum...

the Audere pre has a hot and common input for each pickup. (+ and - I assume) right now I have orange to hot, black and white to common, and green to ground? so from the above I should try: 1) Orange to hot, nothing to comon (leave it empty I guess?), and the black and white as well as the...

checked the directions on the audere again, specifically mentions 3 wire pikups should have the ground tied to the cavity ground, so I did so, no change. I did notice that if I face the bass away from the amp, the white noise diminishes to an almost acceptable level........I notice this...

I've been using an audere pre for a while, recently picked up some lace transensor puck ups. noticed that 3 wires per pick up instead of 2 as a problem any idea how to hook them up. I tried orange to hot, black and white to neg and green to ground......then tried tying the green to the...

That is a major component of it. The fact mine turned out so well is icing on the cake. It started as a test platform to try different things. Thats why i used an Affinity. if one starts with a CV or VM the return on investment for parts might be less, as they are very solid performing...

for what it's worth, my first bass was a Squier Affinity Jazz. great bass to learn on, paid about 150 ish for it new I think. played it probably for a year, then decided to upgrade it basically as a learning experience. fast forwad a couple years, and the only thing left original on...

very nice indeed. I love piecing together basses.
