East Tennessee Talkbass

Greetings ETN Bassers!

I'm finally heading back to lovely Knoxville for my Christmas holiday :) looking forward to some cool weather after a year of the Bangkok heat! That and some biscuits and gravy, BBQ (Full Service!!), and dark beer! And, of course, great music.

Any ideas on events coming up around the holidays?
Sounds like some real good eating and drinking going on brother!!! Hope you enjoy your time back!!!
 
Hey guys!!!! If anyone is interested, I am selling a bunch of brand new strings still in packaging. Just posted in the Classifieds a minute ago. Mostly DR strings, some Dean Markley and D'addario..... If anyone is interested just PM me. Would love to sell local and could give discounts by saving on shipping. Hope everybody is doing well bass brethren!!!!!
 
Hey y’all, I can give a really good price (for a local player) on my 51 Lakland P that I have listed here and on reverb for $2499 ($2598 shipped). I also hate to, but I can also sell a Peavey T-40 for much better than what they sell for online. Message me if interested and have a Merry Christmas !

Any recommendations on a great bass/guitar tech in the area to do some setup and pickup work on my recently acquired Fender P? I think Rik's and Pick and Grin are both closed now? I came across Bryan Parris repairs on Google.
Our very own Thumpin_P from here on Talkbass does amazing work. He has refretted a vintage P bass for me, has worked on all my Warwick and G&L basses, and done tons of electronics work on my basses. Higy recommended by me for sure. Paul does amazing work!!! And a great guy too. PM me and I can give u info for him. Also, I might be interested in trying out the Berg cab as well!!!!

I have the companion Bergantino B/Amp listed as well, along with the Bergantino NV212T. Great combo, great combo deal?. Love, love, love the B/Amp. I'm selling because I only go direct for the worship teams I currently play with. So, an O/D pedal seems to be all I really need. I just grabbed a used Darkglass Vintage Deluxe here on TB and think it might work for me.

Here is that 2012 Precision Select I just nabbed off of eBay:
(of course the JediBass Lakland P comes on the market the day before this gets delivered!)

Yeah - I had the bass one day, swapped the pick guard with a Fender black one (with the foil shielding) and managed to create a grounding hum issue. Thus my need for a tech. I put the original back on and still have the new hum. I'll google it some more.
 
East TN brethren.... well Paul took delivery of this 2012 P-Bass Select and did his thing. The hum issue I observed turned out to be an AC Power thing in my home and the bass sounds and plays terrific. Anyhow - I have decided to offer this P-Bass for sale as I think I just like the J-bass thing a lot better and have my eye on another Sadowsky. So if anyone local wants a very nice Fender P, let me know. Of course the price will be adjusted down to reflect the lack of shipping and simple transaction.

And thanks to Paul for making this P-bass look and feel new!

Glad you're in the nearby community. Well, almost nearby for me. Any ETA on the Wishbass GTO refin?
Jeff!
We'll need to chat soon. I have to start a day job, and fix up the house, for sale. When we meet up, next week(?) I can explain. I've been a mess, lately. Lots of issues. This will be done very soon, though, to your liking. ..I'm excited, for you!!!
