    Double Bass Help with volume & "Growl"

    I recently found and bought an old German Bass. Everyone's best guess seems to be "old German" and possibly Juzek from sometime between 1880 and 1920(ish). Gamba style bout. The only label inside is a repair label with Germany on it. Obviously restored with fingerboard, hatpeg tuners, endpin and...

    Ok I did it. Yes I read the threads. I bought an Ampeg Little Stud

    It's a nice example, in incredible shape except for the non-stock turners. I went in with lower than normal expectations after reading all the posts that I could find about this thing. Yes, it's heavy but no heavier than my Laklands. It's the tone and the playability of the neck. The neck is...

    Looking for opinions on tonal variety, purchasing a new bass.

    Hello Talk Bass! this is my first time ever posting here, I just discovered this forum recently. I have been playing bass for over fifteen years but, sadly, I lost my way for the last five years and didn’t play much. I went through a period of addiction and sold almost all of my gear about...

    Sentimental Bass?

    Curious to find out if others have a particularly special bass, a nostalgic or sentimental bass? Maybe your first bass or your most reliable workhorse that you keep because it covers all your needs, or maybe even a not so great bass that was a gift from someone special? I know some players...

    Cheap Vintage P-sytle Basses

    Hi everybody, I've been going through Reverb lately, and I have found a few vintage P-style basses that are between the $300-$700 range. The ones that have caught my attention are Japanese made (60s) and (70s). I personally think these old, beat-up basses look awesome, but I'm skeptical of their...

    Vintage Neck Finish Removal

    I recently inherited an old, very beaten/well-loved 70's Jazz bass with most of its paint worn off. The neck has around 40% of its finish remaining but I prefer unfinished necks and want to take the leftovers off. Thing is, the remaining stuff is in big and small patches all over and I think...

    Pain in left shoulder while playing

    So I have an older bass, it belonged to my great-grandpa and was passed down to me around a year ago, it's a Peavy Fury P bass I believe, though I'm not sure. I've been playing on and off for about seven months as much as I can, being in high school and all. While playing I always encounter pain...

    G&L L2500 new vs old

    I'm looking into buying an L2500 and in some cases standard second hand ones from early 2000's are not much cheaper than brand new ( say a couple of hundred bucks). If a bass had 15 years of non-gig playing and in good condition wouldn't it still make sense to buy the new one with 15 years less...

    Your thoughts on the Fender Vintera 50s Precision Bass

    Hello folks, I'm interested in buying the Fender Vintera Precision Bass. What are your thoughts on it? How does the neck feel, is it as chunky as some people say? I think they look really nice but the feel of the bass is more important for me Cheers

    Do You Miss A Bass?

    Hey, all. So 11 years ago, I had to sell a G&L Tribute SB-2 to settle a debt. I didn't want to get rid of it. In fact I really liked the way it felt, sounded, looked and played. For whatever reason, I went and bought a different model later on that I had convinced myself that I wanted. In the...

    Is this just a cheap bass or is a hondo 80's p bass?

Not wanting to spend a ton of money, I searched Facebook Marketplace for the last month or so, looking for a deal. I ran across an old Electra 4...

    SX custom handmade vintage series P-bass from what year?

    I've just bought a very cheap SX bass with the old "Fender-like headstock". I didn't really find anything about what year they produced this bass. I'd say this is a surprisingly good instrument for the money. This bass has a Fender 50s pickguard and JETI pickups to be more brutal btw. Does...

    Changing pots/wiring harness on an old bass

    Recently picked up this cheap P-Bass copy and it has this old humbucker style pickup. Pots and wiring are crap so I want to change them. My question is, is this wired like a traditional p-bass? I see the pickup only has 1 wire coming out of it and split at the end. I'm assuming one is hot (the...

    Tom Petersons old bass. Maybe one of his first custom Hamer prototypes

    Hey Cheap Trick fans! A studio that I recently recorded in had a gem of a piece of history and lore. This is a Tom Peterson prototype that was used way back in the Budakon era. Heavy as all get out and hard to balance, but man just the aura of this beast.

    I have an old bass--the first one I bought as part of a Hartke starter kit. It's an entry level instrument for sure. I haven't played it in in more than 10 years, having moved on to higher quality basses. Never gigged with it. It's not particularly beautiful. The last time I touched it, the...

    Double Bass Old bass?

    Hi there I have been looking at a DB recently, on e-bay, described as an "old" bass. Would you say that the wooden tuning pegs are a representation of the age of the bass, OR they could have been retrofitted for show / for sale / as a scam? The item is at least 10 hours drive from me, so kind...

    Double Bass Refresh, revive, resurrect your old bass rosin.

    Over time my bass rosins lose their grip because their volatile oils evaporate. I have tried various methods of reviving the rosin, but I don't find any of them completely satisfactory. Here is another method. Using a guide board I strike the top 1/4" of the rosin cake with a table knife. This...
