    Show your small vintage tube amps

    I recently purchased a Alamo Fury tube bass amp and after a trip to my tech I’ve come away with a sweet sounding amp for practice/jamming/recording. There’s just something about firing tubes that I find inspiring. I’d like to see pics and discuss other oddball tube amps.

    New Bass Day (in which JMJ inspired our protagonist to spend money)

    So the JMJ thing finally rubbed off. '70s Aria 5120, arrived today via the grace of several gods, Reverb, and the United States Postal Service. 30" scale, currently strung with some kind of tapewounds. Love at first ploonk.

    Retro (Harmony H22) inspired project

    Just put this one together. Guitar Fetish was blowing out some old, unfinished hollow bodies, and I couldn't resist. Put a SCPB pickup in it, put the volume on a retro-oven-style knob on the top bout, a flipped over Strat Boat-jackplate, and carved a VERY obnoxious Harmony-H22 inspired (but not...

    Music theory inspired by Billy Sheehan

    A few tricks for zooming around the fingerboard inspired by Billy. Lets say you wanted to zip up the neck fast on E7. Play the E, F# and G# on the low E then slide into the A major scale.and run it up the neck. How about running Em7 fast up the neck. (Assume E dorian). Play E F# G then run...

    NBD- ASAT inspired parts bass

    Assembled this just this week. Wanted it to look like something found in the back of an auto shop in the 60s. Experimenting with different straps and strap button positions to tame neck dive. But even more noticeable is that the headstock sits a few inches further away from my body due to the...

    Winter Build Off 2018 - Diva Inspired

    Obligatory pile 'o wood shot. Woodpile by mapleglo posted Dec 21, 2017 at 12:16 PM Mostly walnut, with a couple of maple stringers, and some maple accent veneer. 5 string, 33.25 scale, fretless. Not sure of the pickup or hardware yet. I'm thinking even the fingerboard will be walnut, coated...

    Winter Build Off 2018 - 54 P bass inspired 5 String

    I'm venturing into the Winter Build off 2018 frey with my wish to build my take / variation on a classic Leo bass...the 54 P bass. Although my variant will be a 5 string, using modern bridges and tuners. I'm hoping to retain the classic '54 tone. So flat wound strings will be the order of the...

    How to get inspired?

    Hi all. I am nearing 50 and sometimes get re inspired to play after seeing people. I don't consider myself a good bassist, but I have had players tell me I can play. To me all I have really done is noodled all my life and I have played in a few small local bands but that is it. I am not looking...

    Coral Wasp inspired build - The Calabrone

    So basically I saw this bridge, thought about it for a bit and then ordered one for my new retro build (that I decided upon simultaneously). I've always loved the Coral Wasp and it's Silvertone cousin the Hornet. I got to see/hear a Hornet up close as the bass player in a band we were sharing...

    Your First Electric Bass-What Inspired You?

    I bought my first basses after graduating high school in 1982. I had grown up living my life playing in various junior high and high school bands as a low brass specialist (trombone and euphonium), and eventually transitioned to the electric bass. Pictured is my 1981 Rickenbacker 4003, which...

    Ric5 Inspired build

    I've been digging the Ric 4003 5 string conversions that @Ric5 does. I want to keep my 4003 four string so I'm going to go ahead and build myself a version. I already have the nut, the bridge, the tuners. Having trouble deciding the pickups though. I want it to sound like a Ric but I'm not...

It has been modified to mimic Leland Sklar's famous double reverse P "Frankenbass" (shown here.) Originally, it was fretted and, with its...
