Damn, one can only go to the for sale section and get a cool set up much much cheaper than going to the store. Pick a bass(the benevente looks cool), skb 8 spaced for $75!, choose between the bergantino or eden cabs, and an ampeg vintage amp, man, who needs retail store when you get all these goodies?It's a virtual bass boutique!
At the Bass For Sale Section, they got Benevente bass, R Bass, Roscoe Beck Bass, Eden Cabs, Bergantino Cabs, Vintage Ampeg, SKB cases, Jan-Al cases, Status Graphite Bass, Funky Orange 5 string Stingray, and list goes on and on
Ah, you mean the TalkBass Classifieds? Sure. It's fantastic. I mean, if you're looking for a piece of gear or have one to sell, why not sell/buy it on TalkBass? Why go anywhere else?
I've gotten my last two basses from people here on TB. I definitely think the classifieds are an excellent resource. In fact, I'll be putting a ton of stuff up there once I get some pics taken!
