Currently I’m playing an Aria pro II IGB, however I’m looking to buy a short scale bass and spending around 250-300. the dean Evo short scale bass has everything I want: 24 frets, humbuckers and short scale. The problem is it’s a cheaper guitar...

    ELF system vs. Genzler Magellan 350 combo

    Has anyone had the chance to compare these two? I imagine people will say the Genzler is "better" in a lot of ways, but is there a major discernible difference? Can you get a nice pure tone from the Elf with either the 2x8 or 1x10 (or both)? Does having the Genzler array cab make THAT much of...

    Should I stop playing my Gretsch because of electronics?

    I tryed to film an effects demo today and once I started recording I got no sound coming from my bass. This happened before at a gig. I should get a second bass, but should I stop playing hollowbodys? Repairing the jacks and pots are a hassle. FINAL UPDATE: A cable needs to be resoldered to...

    Case for Gretsch 6070 bass

    Hello friends, Just scored a great 1963 Gretsch 6070 without a case. Its an odd beast for sure, but hoping someone has had some luck finding a case it fits into. Hard or gig bag, Im not picky. Just trying to avoid the custom (read expensive) route. Thanks for your time. Mike

    Supro Huntington 2 or gretsch electromatic short scale

    So I posted a thread a little while back about an gibson SG making some suspicious sounds. Again, seems to be static electricity building up on the finish.

    Repurposing Gretsch 3-position toggle?

    The Gretsch double-cut long scale basses (6070, 6072, G6072) have in common a three-position tone switch (in place of a tone pot) and another three position switch which I regard as redundant and useless since it is a kill switch, and these basses all have a master volume which IMO performs the...
