Happy New Year! What's the first bass you played in 2022? I've been spending today just taking it easy at home with my wife and the cats. Logged a couple of hours this morning playing bass through my headphone setup, when I realized, my modified 1962 Gibson EB0 bass was kicking off a new year...

are there any threads like that? if not then i’d like to see this thread become one. why you might ask? because there’s a certain aura around pictures from the 60s or 70s or 80s taken on little polaroids that aren’t some famous band but just a normal kid from back then. also, i want to see the...

I only have one bass, and it's blue. However, I always find myself attracted to other blue basses. I'd be interested to see collections of basses that are all the same color. Post 'em below!

Music festivals are a big thing now. Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Rock on the Range, SXSW, Pitchfork, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Warped, Ozzfest, Woodstock, etc all draw a massive number of music fans. Here in Kentucky, I always go to Louder Than Life (metal) and Bourbon and Beyond (pop/alt rock)...

I've been going thru the Amazing Pics thread, which is awesome all you contributors, & after posting some of my home state of Oregon, I thought maybe a home state thread might be fun. Pictures, cool places, stories, history...nothing specific I guess. I've traveled to every state this side of...

I’m new to TB, and I couldn’t find any current pictures and prices of things when I was looking for a new bass. So maybe we can get something goin for what people can expect when searching for a new bass. My first bass was the Natural Ibanez SRX700. Beautiful guitar. Love the PU’s. Has a very...

Your latest Family! Only the ones you have now! Thanks

Following on from the @Axtman "Why has rack gear gone out of fashion?" thread, a thread for those who appreciate a nice rack to share pics, to gaze and and to ponder possibilities.

I have a 1993 Warwick Thumb BO. So far i have the following concerns: 1. the Trussrod adjustment seems maxed out or stuck 2. minimal upbow when the bass is unstrung. 3. the neck seems straight enough strung and properly tuned. 4. There seems to be some part of the neck heel part that was shaved...

I had a friend who was needing some quick money and had a bass he wanted to sell for super cheap. I didn't know anything about the bass but it looked nice and after a minor adjustment to the truss rod the thing seemed absolutely worth what he was asking for it so I bought it. Also I am aware...

Recently ran across a YouTube recording by Status Quo: "Pictures of Matchsticks Men", from 1968. No other recording that I've heard has a bass sound quite like that - and I've been listening to records since the late 40s. I understand that the engineers in the control room were having a lot of...

Share your pictures of John Entwistle´s basses

It's new bridge day. I've had a Gotoh bridge on the black one ('94 MIM Jazz) since I bought it 2 years ago. But you know how it is - you read something on TB and you just have to try out. Someone was looking for a good 3-hole-mount Fender replacement bridge for an American Fender that's strung...

I have only one bass, an Olympic White parts P bass, it's similar to the first bass that my parents bought me in 1978. I like the rosewood fretboard alright but for some reason I really want to replace it with a Maple Jazz neck. What looks better with Olympic White to you?

I would think there would be a FAQ not for classifieds but for general use . I used to know how to do this but can't remember and can't seem to find out how. Thanks in advance for any assistance Nighttrain1127

So I was really tempted to comment on a particular sale thread, but I'm not sure what the policy is on that. Here's an analogous situation: What if someone posts an instrument and they say "paint job is excellent, no dings or scratches" and then they proceed to post pictures of a dinged-up...

We have a big gig in April.. meanwhile I have to trudge to practice every Monday night in the snow and cold rain. I don't line in sunny California, like some people here, and you know who you are. ;) It's a little scary getting there, dark parking lot leading to an alley but then to greatness...

Hey all; I thought you all would appreciate my recently finished project. I wish I could say I own it, but it was built for a client. They wanted a bass that combined a 51 Pbass and a modern P bass. It's an alder body finished in Seafoam Green nitro (done by MJT), the neck is a beautiful...

What overdrive/distortion/etc. would you recommend for that slightly hairy Moving Pictures era studio sound?

Just picked this up. Only had a few minutes with her and I need to set her up to my liking, but so far, so good. A previous owner installed what looks to be a replica of the vintage style MM 2 band pre. I also have the MM 3 band (I'm debating on which to keep in her). Can anyone here...

The Mitchell MB305 Pros: Balances well (I use a 4” strap) Black smoke hardware (will last if wiped down but if you let it go it will discolor) Body (looks like a 2 pc to me) Veneer top matches nicely (flawlessly) Pickups Alnico split and single w large poles (align nicely) Bridge (looks like a...

Just because i took a few photos and pretended to edit with random cheesy filters on my phone First, late 90s fretless...rounds on it...pickups extraordinarily hot ime....pure sex lol ...and second, my main bass which is pretty much the only bass i use live and a real friend My...

I'm finally addressing what I assumed was a bad setup with my fretless that now appears to be a wavy board down by the heel. I'm going to have to sand it with a radius block starting at 400 grit and work my way higher, and I know people on TB have done it, but I'd like to know how it looked...

I was thinking about changing my avatar, and found these cool pictures. Oops, I double posted one of them?

Since their release, there have been quite a few pictures with mentioned beauties, but - in my opinion - way too few live pics. So, this thread is solely for live pics of PF50T and PF20T amps in live action. So, gloat and flaunt away! (and I'll start off with a pic of my first gig with my PF50T)...

I have a terrible sense of style, and need some recommendations for "business casual" clothes. If you could post three pictures (shirt, pants, shoes) that would give me an idea of what looks good these days, that would be great. I'm a bit hefty, but losing weight as we speak. I can't do skinny...

I've went through alot of basses in search for the ones that just does it for me. It has led me to find some very good basses, some duds, and some unbelievable basses. My very best bass I've ever owned is my current Warrior Private Reserve Buckeye Burl. the 2nd best bass I've owned has also been...

I know there are tons of family pic threads but I've made some recent changes to mine and thought I'd post a couple shots. Let's see yours too! Current line up ESP LTD 214 vintage Spector Euro 5LX TW Fender American Precision Deluxe BC Rich Iron Bird (on loan from a friend while I do some...

Chasing Mabel traveled to The Plus in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to perform at the reunion of the graduating class of 2002 from North High School in Eau Claire. Although several band members have played this venue previously, this was Chasing Mabel's first performance here. Because this was a...

I did tons of research for this project, and concluded that is safe to perform on the amp (but I hold no liability if you try it yourself). I can provide links to info contributing to the claim of it's safety if anyone would like. Or feel free to research it yourself. I have another thread...

There is a second hand fretless MIJ Fender Jazz for sale from a private seller. It has had its paint stripped, but the s/n sticker starts with U, making it a -95 / -97 OR 2011-ish bass. It also says ("Made in Japan", which has no impact on the year of manufacure on this serial number?) Could...

I'm installing a set of the newer pickups and electronics into another bass, and I do not know how to wire the push/pull pots. Does anyone have the schematic or would be able to take some control cavity shots for me? TIA!

I don't get it. Why post the ad today if you're not taking pictures until (presumably) tomorrow? If you acknowledge that you have no pictures yet but promise them at some point in the future, then you're basically telling people NOT to buy right now. You're telling them to wait until you...

And, it's gone.

First, I'm not a super tech P.C. user and I'm sure I've caused this some how..... Never had this problem before till last week. Don't have internet available where I live so when I'm some where that does have it I always download T.B. threads to my H.P. P.C. to read later. Recently, the whole...

Do you ever buy a pedal just for it's aesthetics? For me, I'll usually buy pedal for one of two reasons: 1) Because I feel I need this particular effect for whatever reason, and/or 2) Because the pedal looks cool as heck! Today, I found this very cool looking MXR GT-OD (at least, that's what I...

But I don't have 'em. It occurred to me that this was a gig I could take a few pictures at using my phone, just to prove that, well, what does it prove if I'm in none of the pictures? It was the three piece band with me on upright, an electric guitarist, and a singer. A law firm hired us to...

But not today. So more non-existence. It's a skill that takes time to perfect. This show was on the upright with a guitarist and singer. We played old blues, R&B, and pop songs from the 1930s up to about 1973, with a couple Patsy Cline songs thrown in just for good measure. The venue is a...
