    Double Bass Any ideas of the possible origin & age of this double bass?

    I stumbled across this bass and will be seeing it shortly. Any ideas of its origin, age, or who may have made it from the limited markings inside, or perhaps the construction, tuning machines, end pin, etc? It obviously needs a few things to be playable, but I wondered if it might be worth the...

    Which manufacturer would you like to do what?

    I would live to see Dingwall offer headless versions of their basses, or at least a headless modell. Probably not going to happen... How about you? Anything missing on the market that you'd be all over?

    Help needed identifying this Bass

    Hey Guys, First Post on Here! So my GFs father passed away over ten years ago. Today I was gifted one of his old Basses by her mother. There is no serial No, manufacturer or anything on it, so I can't figure out who might have made it. It's fretless, headless and active. Any guesses?

    Where are the British brands?

    Bit of a shower thought today; why aren’t there more (any?) MAJOR British bass/guitar manufacturers? When it come to amps they’ve got some legendary giants with Vox, Marshall, and Orange all hailing from Britain. Yet, the only British guitar/bass brands that I know of (not to say that’s a fully...

    What is this bass? *Head scratcher*

    Can't seem to find out the name of the maker. Closest I've come is 'Aria' and 'Artist JB2' but neither of them look correct. The A looks a tad different with Aria and the headstock is a little off to be Artist.

    34.5" Basses? List every manufacturer you know!

    I'm already aware of F-Bass, who else makes them? I find myself in one of those annoying predicaments where 34" scale basses all feel a bit too loose and floppy, and while I very much prefer the tightness of a 35" scale, the frets are just a hair too wide to be truly comfortable for my average...

    Basses Named After Car

    I just read this book: Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound, and Revolution of the Electric Guitar. The authors noted how many electric guitars were marketed like cars, and as a result, many of them were named after cars: Firebird, Thunderbird, Mustang, etc. And those names were...

    Traynor TC115NEO vs Traynor TC115

    Hi all, has anybody out there tried or owned both of these cabs? Apparently the new neo version has a "lightweight" cab construction and a different driver obviously. I'm heading to the store to try out the neo version, but they don't have any of the old ones in stock. The old ones are still...

    I intended to go on the Jescar site. From Google, it said "This site may have been hacked." It shows Asian script and let's just say it doesn't look right. Anyone know what's going on?

    I know what it means, but ... is there a risk? Online retailer Hifi Sound Connection lists quite a few manufacturer refurbished units at pretty substantial markdowns. The latest of interest to me is a Peavey PVH cabinet on eBay. Hifi says they are a Peavey dealer; item has been returned...

    Ernie Ball is a great guitar manufacturer

    ...basses? It's debatable I think. If you go to the website and just look at their guitars you'd swear you were looking at a different company, because the bass department looks like a liquidation sale....very weird. What the hell happened to EB basses? :(
