I remember this for years being a meme, but I'm kinda into it. Its also my first time hearing and seeing KR play outside if short short clips and i gotta say, its like a Saturday night in Cleveland, I love it. Feel free to discuss this will be interesting
If you're so inclined, make an offer of cash... or trade me a late 90s/early 2000s (non-sunburst) American Precision Deluxe 4-string. Or try me with something else!
It's Sunday and I'm being avoidant about studying for an industry exam that I take next month.
I don't really want to part with this bass but, given how much money we've spent recently at my house, it probably needs to go. I just acquired this super cool '87 L-1000 in a trade. And then promptly...
Up for sale is a beautiful G&L CLF L1000. It's in near mint condition, the only exception is the previous owner used a scotch-brite pad to bring the neck to a perfect satin finish. It's very well done and it feels just like my L2000 satin neck which I personally prefer.
Bass comes in barely...

Hello TalkBass peeps, been trolling your forums for years and am happy to finally join!
I recently picked up an absolutely immaculate 1975 lefty Precision Bass locally...I bought it from its original owner who used it '5 times', and gave up and put it away for 45 years. It is truly a closet...
I feel like such a newbie asking this question. I feel like I should know this already, but I don't.
What is the difference between a Squier Jazz Bass, and a Squier Vintage Modified jazz bass. I mean the actually difference. Not just a "this sounds better live" type answer. What is...
Living Colour has been one of my biggest influences as a musician and as a bassist, and they've had two of the best bassists in the business, Muzz Skillings and Doug Wimbish. They also have one of the most creative guitarist(Vernon Reid) and one of the greatest drummers(Will Calhoun) in music...
So I was scanning through eBay and found an as new Genz Benz Uber Quad 1288t listed with a starting bid of $400 with local pickup only.
Crap I thought until I saw it was at a pawn shop 33 miles away from my house. I was not able to go all week due to work and other things so the bidding ended...
Okay so I've been on here for two months researching with Jimmy M, over what I thought was silly, but now realize is a real pain.
I'm 50 and I've been playing Bass since 14. I play Punk and Metal on the Jersey Coast to NYC. My guitar players use all tube Marshall stacks and all tube Mesa...
Okay... I'm trying to sort something out. Can someone tell me if my thoughts are right or wrong please?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around ohms and what my limits are.
What I know....
1) You can run an SVT-CL @4 ohms into a 4 ohm cab.
2) You can run an SVT-CL @4 ohms into 2 - 8 ohm cabs...
Tb,
Not sure if anyone has posted about this new Lightning Boy Audio NuVision Tube Preamp pedal, but wow! This thing is amazing. Check out the video below, tube heaven!
They build their stuff out of top notch components, and having owned several of Michael Mad Scientist contraptions, I cannot...
Surfing the web, with laziness, looking for something to eventually buy in the future...
I'm into the Bacchus jazz basses line in these days. But they are very hard to find in Italy. I could order from France, they have a return policy but I like to put my hands on instruments before. And I do...
...so, I picked up this Squier VM Cabronita bass off my local CL for $120. It was strung with some crap roundwound strings and had been languishing in this guitar players closet for a couple of years before he decided to get rid of it. I loved the look of it and when I tried it out before the...
Not sure if this fb link will work or not. And it's a long video, so feel free to stop after the count down. But if you continue you get to hear me completely screw up the intro to "Celebration" heh.
In my 35 or so years of playing I started as a pick player and stuck to that until @ 10 years ago, when I put the picks away and forced myself to develop a finger style. I have stuck with playing almost exclusively with my fingers ever since.... until @ 3 months ago.
I haven't really played in...
I am an old cat (47) and have been playing for about 32 years. I have dabbled at best with effects over my time as a bass player. So recently I have decided to try my hand once again. I have become very satisfied and rather stable with my bass and amp situation. I have been a fan of envelope...
So, I used to be quite particular about this, but not so much anymore. I don't mean every fret all day long buzzes, but minor buzzing now and again seems almost normal from all that I've heard. So, what say you?
Hey all!
So.... I'm new to bass and poopie but I tried to learn as much as I could and...
I found a pretty incredible 71 J!
The store seems really trust worthy and they seem good and honest people. They said it's a refin although it's very worn. Not a relic job but just a very light finish...
Alright, here goes. Over on the Marshall forum a poster asked about hooking up some stuff. The replies tend to agree, but I admit I'm still questioning.
Ok. He has an 8 and a 16 ohm cab. He has taps for 16,8,4. The guys there are telling him put the 8 ohm on the 4 ohm tap and the 16 ohm on the...
I've been reading about the G&L L1000, and I'd like to experiment with the OMG setting, which puts a .1uF capacitor in parallel with one coil of a humbucker when switched to series. Here's G&L's circuit: Link Removed
And here's how my series/parallel switch is wired:
On this switch, where would...
I almost forgot what they sounded like after many years. At a rehearsal studio last night I got to play thru some old version of a Traynor bass amp head with an Ampeg cab which I think had an 18 in speaker. The tube amp had just two power tubes and was around 85 watts. After playing solid...
hey gang - all my "bass" friends chill - here - so I figured why not me!!!!
yes I have some basses, but by no means a bass player - I get that - i'll stick to 6 strings (unless one breaks)
I love trading gear.......!
Jonahboo - is the name I been using for ever (TGP and beyond) - dumb? sure -...
Here's hoping the taxman giveth this year.:)
For sale $900 or trade + cash for the right compact cab under 50lbs.
A unique ESP Custom Shop beauty 1998 J Five closet queen w/ OSHC + key. The quartersawn neck is a modern Fender feel but with narrow spacing like my Ibanez, so like 16.5 - 17mm...

Quick question: Can the OMG mod on a G&L single mfd pickup bass be easily changed from Parallel/Single/Single with bass boost to a more usable(to me) Parallel/Single/Series? I like the sound but two single coil modes in one of these basses are two noisy options I can't really use. As always...
