    Keyword alerts gone?

    I stopped getting keyword alert emails and the page to edit preferences gives an error message (and there is no link to it in the menus where it once was). Is this feature gone forever?

    RIP Boon Gould (of Level 42)

    Boon Gould has died at age 64. He was a key contributor, both as a songwriter and guitarist, to most of the material that propelled Level 42's exposure in the late 80s. I always thought he was undervalued. RIP. Level 42 founder member found dead

    Eden WT550 has trouble turning on/will turn off on its own

    I have had a 2003 WT550 for a few years and have loved it, but recently I've been having some issues with getting the amp to turn on and stay on. It started like a finicky light switch where you have to wiggle it around the half-way point to get it to turn on, but now sometimes I'll have to try...

    Has Anyone Used La Bella Flatwounds on a Spirit by Steinberger Bass?

    La Bella claims that their double ball strings are not for use on Spirit instruments. I emailed them to ask why. They replied that they really didn't know for certain whether or not the strings would work on a Spirit, and that I should contact Headless USA for a definitive answer. I wrote to...

    Has there ever been an EBMM signature bass?

    To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been a signature EBMM bass by one of their predominately bass-playing artists. The closest I can think of is: 1. The OLP Tony Levin bass that was a Stringray 5 H, made about 15 years ago. 2. The Classic series EBMM basses that came with the "Sledge"...

    Who here has the most ridiculous bass collection? (Pics required!)

    Ok, so "ridiculous" is subjective. But who takes the cake? Could be a TBer with hundreds of basses, or maybe you just have a ton of mint condition vintage basses? Or maybe your basses are all lime green. There's a guy on here who has like 30 SX basses that are all blue (he'd probably get my...

    Most of my D strings has fret noise

    Hey folks...first post...I have been trying to figure this out forever. The D string on my bass is buzzing from the 3rd fret to the 11th fret. So I know the following: - 1st fret buzz = nut issue - 3-8ish = truss rod - above 12th = bridge adj. I move my truss rod a little = no change. I move...

    Has anybody tried Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky Flats on a Rickenbacker?

    I use the EB Cobalt Slinky Flats Hybrid Set (105-85-65-45) on my '51 Relic P-Bass and I think they sound great. The "baseball bat" neck on it adapts well to the higher tension from the hex core strings. On one of my Ric's I use TI Flats and the tension is perfect for the neck. I have ordered an...

    What Else Has a Neck Length/Profile Similar to a Stingray 5?

    Has your bass changed colour over the years?

    I bought my NS5XL back in 2000 and it was blue/black. Actually it was more black than blue. Now, after years of sitting in the light, I walk into the studio and see it like this. I love the change but wonder if it's common.

The string tension was good and it allowed me to be creative with out the hold back that alot of new basses seem to do, I...
