anything

Does anyone out there know if there is something similar to the Rusty Box, preferably in a smaller footprint? Trying to get a similar tone without taking up all of the space on my already cramped pedalboard. I have an RB and love it, but the extra power supply and chunky enclosure are a pain in...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone could get the bass part for The Grey off of Thrice's new album? I feel like that entire album has just some really sick bass lines. Eddie's bass sound is crazy growly and just big on the whole album.

found a compact 1x15 mystery amp today for $100, nothing is found to match up in any searches about it to even show an example. sadly I didn't take a pic, but it seems quite like some of the TNT models with a 6 band slider eq, just a bit smaller yet also sports a distortion channel. extra points...

Hi everyone! First time to post here! I'm looking to upgrade my bass, but before that I wanted to know more about the bass that I currently own. It's an Aria Pro 2 Magna Series bass, PJ pickups. My parents bought it for me about 9 years ago. We got it from a 2nd hand music store by the...

Like the title states, as it pertains to basses. Their lineup seems kind of stagnant lately.

Just curious if the pots in a T40 could be replaced with some run of the mill cts pots and still retain the ability to go from humbucker to single coil as the originals do. Inquiring minds want to know...

50 max refund, 25 min buy, only can use code once per account. Kinda disappointed they lowered the threshold from 100, I'd buy the Superman #17 that's cheap...

I picked this guy up brand new in 93 - my first "real" bass. Beat the living crap out of it for years and, essentially, neglected it. I recently got the bass bug again and had a full set up done. The brass ground had pretty much disintegrated, so my bass guy just replaced with a cloth wire -...

I'm in the process of building a P bass. I had some cheap chrome knobs laying around that I decided I would mess with ye olde Muriatic Acid and see what would happen. I got the knobs, shook them around for a while, got them lightly dinged to where I liked, and prepared my containers for the...

hey everyone, While browsing the interwebs for my next source of GAS I came across this beautiful jazz bass from Crews Maniac Sound. I am hoping some of you can shed some insight into the brand and maybe even model this bass is. I have owned other Japanese basses such as FGN and Bacchus which...

Hello everybody, My bandmates are having some issues adjusting to this bass' voice range. Also, my technique is telling right now and I have to address it for our live venue. Any other MTD USA players, or similar designed bass users, I would love to hear your recommendations. MTD 634 (roasted...

And top google result says "vintage" is anything 20+ years old. Sooo......looks like this bad boy is SIXTEEN VINTAGE AMPS now! Or, like 14 vintage amps, a vintage tube preamp and a vintage fuzz box. Ooh, but some of those models were themselves based on vintage amps. So now that the models are...

I'm finally getting around to buying a P Bass, which I'll buy once I get my tax returns back. Should I pay much attention to the fretboard, or just buy what I think looks better? I didn't have a choice with my Jazz Bass, because the model I wanted only came in one option, and that had a...

So we had a warm week after a deep freeze. Lots of plants got creamed by the ice. Now, before I have had a chance to do ten minutes of yard work, things are starting to bloom. (Welcome to Eastern NC. If you don't like the weather, wait until Tuesday. It'll be different.) So here are my palm...

Hi! My neighbour said he had a bass that has been in storage for a decade or two and he wants me to find out if its worth anything. The bass is a Thunderbird, and if the serial number is correct and if the bridge is original then its likely a 64'. But... someone has: 1. Drilled a massive...

? They usually post releases a day early on FB but nothing so far

I mentioned this in a couple of other posts, but this might be a good thing to repeat here. Nothing whatsoever that you practice in an academic setting is meant to replace anything about playing the bass that makes you happy. Learning well is an addition to your musical lives, not a replacement...

I'm thinking about getting a Matamp GT200 and am just looking for some opinions or other (readily available) options as these aren't exactly cheap or easy to try out. The obvious other choice to me seems to be an Orange AD200B, although the new price is roughly the same for both and the Matamp...

I recently bought a used Ibanez artcore ABG200 for a good price, but I've noticed the tone knob does absolutely nothing. Does anyone have any experience with these basses? I can solder and do wiring but I'm not too sure how to go about fixing a bass. The bass has one volume, one tone, and a 3...

What You Need to Do Because of Flaws in Computer Chips

Found this beauty on the local swap. I couldn’t not get it. It’s gorgeous. Paid 200 for it. I’m a Fender geek but I’ve been wanting to try something different and I thought 200 was a great price for this. I hope. Ha! So, anyone own one? Know much about them? Thanks!

We all seen them over and over. What’s the best bass for (insert genre here). There follows five pages of neck girth, pointy ends, flats, rounds, active, etc. replies in short order. Isn’t the only correct answer to the best bass, amp, car, girlfriend or whatever..... The one that makes you...

But don't agree on what they want to play or don't share a unanimous goal. Does it matter or is it a sign to stop while you're ahead? Or is it a sign of great things that can come? My history says it's the former. Just wanted to make a quickie.

Hello friends! My father recently passed away, leaving a collection of various musical instruments behind. We are all guitarists in my family, and none of us really know anything about this bass; dad had recently acquired it, determined to learn. I may keep it, sell it, or even donate it, but I...

So I currently have a Rolls tiny 2way crossover on my pedal board. Normally I run it at the end... my Sansamp BDDI running into the crossover, then the crossover feeding into a two channel power amp. But tonight I put it first and ran my bass right into it... sent the mids/highs to a EHX bass...

hello. i have a bass i bought in approx 97-98 from a place in cleveland called goose acres. the last time i was in cleveland, the owner of a different shop told me that goose acres had closed after the owner died the only identifying marks on the bass are a sticker on the inside that says...

Weird and not sure if it said "Bodin Musical Instruments" on the neck plate or something else. Kinda cool in a bootsy way

Pretty simple..just looking for solid GWAR bass tabs. I'm really interested in We Kill Everything, but I'd love to see anything that you guys have. Thanks!

I'd like to buy some alder for bodies. I've been using pre-made blanks, but it's just too cost prohibitive. There is family owned saw mill not too far from me that stocks superior alder. They told me I could have free reign of their inventory and select what I want. Besides weight and tap tone...

Hope everyone is doing good I have been out for a little while. Hope the kids are staying off the lawns. I wish everyone carrots, burritos, and prosperity. Good to be back!

i was about to pull the trigger on a red mustang bass at sweetwater. on the page for the bass it says in enthusiastic print Or just $24/month§ for 24 months 0% interest for 24 months*. 24 equal monthly payments required. you'd probably assume based on that that you could pay the bass off in...

It's a run of the mill g&l tribute. Like squier affinitys, the wood is very... white. It's really not got much tone or color at all. I'm wondering if i can treat it with anything very minor, that might make it a little more yellow? I really like the way the old fenders turn yellow... i assume...

I'm shopping around various on-line retailers for a set of tuners. I did notice some higher end builders (Fodera), uses Gotoh tuners. Are they the basic (non economy type)? Gotoh Chrome Treble Side Bass Key | Allparts.com On the other hand, I notice many more basses with Hipshot ultra...

I recently got a bass through trade that wad in rough shape cosmetically. The finish was removed with a heat gun carelessly so the body is toast. And it's still unfinished. Amway, the reason I'm posting is it looks like the hardware is covered in an additional layer of black paint ( the...

I'm here for a few months that for work. Looking for places and people to jam. Thanks in advance! Oh- funk/rnb/ Motown/soul type stuff

Hey guys just a couple quick questions. My band is getting ready for a string of shows and I was just wondering what if anything you guys use to protect your gear from shady club power lol. I don't know if its just Paranoia from the string of events over the last year I had with faulty/lemony...

Picked up Yamaha RBX 270. What attracted my attention is that it had a P- pickup, Basslines Pickup on a Neck Position. On bridge position it has normal yamaha jazz pickup. Here is the situation. When you set a knob so BOTH pick ups are engaged (middle position), indeed both of them do work...

Never had a 5-string before, and this one might be had for cheap. How are these? Not much to be found on these 5-strings, it seems. Can anyone shed any light on this one? Serial says it's made in 1995. I can't really tell the difference between LPB-1 and 2, or 3 for that matter. Is this an...

So I am still waiting on a set of 2 P90 pickups and maple wood pickup covers for a guitar I am building that I ordered a YEAR and A Half AGO. Seriously Jim??? I've contacted you several times and you refuse to answer my simple question of when will I get my pickups and pickup covers. Yo u have...

Basically a pedal which can have a customized sound, created by the user, and includes modifying reverb, distortion, chorus, octaves, etc, through a software, and can be turned on with a single button on the pedal? Just wondering if such a thing exists or not?
