    Finish question: Thick Poly vs Others

    This is only tangentially related to Luthiers, so I apologize if this should be in a different sub. Something that’s been on my mind today: Most inexpensive instruments have thick polyester finishes. The least expensive seem to more commonly have a thin matte poly on the neck, but plenty of the...

    I bought the most expensive Harley Benton bass (BZ-6000 II NT)

    I played a 6 string in my local guitar shop and got a sudden, burning need to have one... but not that one. It was a piece of crap. After a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that Harley Benton has, hands down, the best spec to price ratio, even when you include shipping. Neck-through was...

    Mini-Jazz Bass by CNZ

    Has anyone tried one of these? I’ve seen comments about the Squier Mini P Bass where folks mention they’d be all over it if it were a Mini-Jazz, so I figured even though this isn’t a Squier has anyone come across this and at least tried it out? FEATURES: Solid Body Electric Four-String Mini...

    Good Inexpensive Strap Recommendations?

    See title. I am guilty of using those really basic, cheap Ernie Ball straps for years. I guess I like the width and they've mostly been good (one time I broke the plastic part of one of those straps and I'm not sure how I did it) and reliable. I also like that they come in a variety of colors...

    Intentional irony: A good bassist on an inexpensive bass

If he gets some looks, it doesn’t take long for him to change people’s minds because he’s a solid player and...

    Compressors with band or eq adjustable

    So I've been looking to get the DigiTech bass squeeze with the dual band compression, I was just curious if anyone has or knows about any brand of pedal similar to this kind. The reason I ask is cause I kinda like the idea of being able to put more punch into a certain range of the instrument, I...

    Best inexpensive combo or head+cab

No flaws on the finish and the back of the neck is satin finish like I prefer them to be. The neck is straight as an arrow...

    Lightweight and inexpensive bass speaker cabinets.

    I'm tired of carrying over 100 pounds of speaker cabinets! So far I have found three lightweight cabs for $300 or less. The Bugera BT210TS, the Fender Rumble 115, and the Trace Elliot Elf 1X10. All of these cabs weigh under 40 pounds. I'm interested in any feedback on this subject. Thank you.
