I've got a K&K Bass Master Rockabilly Plus System, new in the box, 1 month new. comes with the K&K preamp/blender, selling for $175. works great for rockabilly, has bass master and clicky transducer for the neck.
I'm in Los Angeles. Let me know if you're interested.
thanks,
mike

I live in San Diego

I'm not a DB player but I do play electric bass, mostly 6ers, and have a lot of fun doing so.

Carvin LB76 - Blue burst over quilt, dual MM style humbuckers
Ibanez SR506 - Black w/ gold hardware 6 string from way back
Squier P-Bass Special - Satin walnut finish, super fun to noodle on

And I just ordered up an Ibanez Ashula 6 string (4 fretted and 2 fretless strings)

I use a Carvin BX1500 going into a BRX10.4 Neo 4x10 cab.

I also play guitar, drums, and keys.

lemur music in san juan capistrano is closer and way better. Gollihurmusic.com is great too.

World of Strings, on 7th St in Long Beach. Brick & Mortar. They have some nice options on DB pickups (Piezo & Mag) \. Kinda pricey, tho.

I recently started giging a little on upright, and got the Hurley virtuoso pickup off e-bay. Great pick up, very full sound with tons of bottom end, that can be tamed by the amp EQ. And at $40, it's a great deal.
