own

I own a fair amount of basses and while I used to have a fretless, I no longer do. Even though I would never gig a fretless in my current projects, something in me feels like I should have one as part of the "collection". I love the sound and get an itch to play one now and again, even if it is...

i bought a boss chorus ce-2b in 1988 that has been on every pedalboard i have owned. i noticed how shabby it was looking so i gave it some tlc. when i pulled the knobs off to clean i noticed the protective plastic was still on the shinny knob caps! they look almost brand new! looking pretty good...

My friend and I are currently building a bass amp in the vein of a B15N, so I am hoping to pair it with an appropriate cab. I would just purchase a cab, but since I am building the amp, I want to do some custom woodwork so it matches the head. I have been reading and looking at the fEARful and...

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...

Which Hofner Bass is both the most aesthetically pleasing and pleasing in terms of sound? How do they compete with chowny’s, Epiphones, fender’s or others in the price-range?

Hi, this is my first time posting on talk bass. Does anyone have or know where I can get my hands on a stagg electric upright bass? I live in the Los Angeles area. I want to purchase an EUB and I’ve read good things about the stagg and it’s in my budget. I’m wondering if anyone would be kind...

I'd LOVE to know how many of these Exist on this or any Planet. Care to guess?

First, much of what I'm going to say is based on my own statistical observation. If you go to jail on Space 10 then you are likely to roll a seven which is the most rolled number. Ahead of it is St. James, Tennessee, and New York which are in the six, eight and nine spots. And with so many...

Hello guys, Once again I summon the talkbassterians to seek some advice. I own an SVT3 PRO at the moment, and even when I'm very happy with the sound I have, I think I can get something better and more suitable to what I'm doing right now. I've been playing a lot of shows lately and...

I know a lot of people put foam under the strings but I've never been able to get that quite right no matter how many times I tried. So I went looking for a device to do this and I found the Fump dampener, but the reviews weren't the greatest. I don't need to go into that in detail...the reviews...

I find it hard to believe that I would be the only one on this site that has this bass. :)

...until you have to pack up and move it all...:meh: Discuss...

Howdy folks! This is a new step in my life... yes! I finally moved in my own place and left my Mom's nest. Yuppy. Finally I can 'nearly' plug my basses when I feel the desire (just avoiding to play loud at night hours) and then, that's great, huh? But there's a big issue... So to make it...

as the title clearly states - who here makes their own kimchee? got a favorite recipe and/or assembly secret? ok, everybody say 'kimchee!' .. 3 .. 2 .. 1 .. <camera flash!>

Welcome to BYOC Does anyone have any experience with this company and their kits? I am electronically anept but really want a Triangle Muff reproduction and this looks like a steal. Are these pedals reliable if built properly?

Trevor Horn is the only player that I've seen that plays these. I know he has several? I'd be interested to hear what your opinion is of this bass. Thank you :)

Never had the chance to play one. The pictures of them look nice.Just wondered if anyone has any experience with them.

I've owned nothing but four-banger SRs since I started switching off on bass. As a guitar player the SRs just felt easier to play. But I'm looking at a BTB 746 six stringer and I'm wondering if I'll regret it. I'll already be dealing with all the issues related to my first sixer. Considering...

This thought had occurred to me today, and it's kind of aimed mostly at the folks who are self taught and in bands, or just play songs by ear. When I first started the bass a few years ago, I assumed that to play an instrument one NEEDED to know how to read music. It didn't take long to find...

I used to own something like 15-16 a couple of years ago, now I only have 9, so I thought I was improving nicely. However, THAT thread that popped up yesterday made me realise that 9 is far from ideal. I will never be a great if I have 9 basses. It seems I need just 1-3 basses to be great, and...

I realize it's not for everyone, but based on aesthetics , would you own a paisley bass? It's not limited to the standard tele/51 p bass either. I certainly would, and it's on my to do list. Sorry, I know it's a guitar

I'm sure someone has done this topic already but after reading lot's of posts showing peoples extensive collection of basses, what is the one bass you own that you would never part with? For me, it's my 1988 Phillip Kubicki Ex Factor. I would give up every other piece of music equipment I own...

Anyone out there own a Michael Dolan bass? Would like to hear any experience you've had with these instruments. I own 2 and am very happy with them.

I feel like I have it easy with bass. I have a 50 ft XLR cable that I can plug into my amp head and run to the mixer. Most of the time, there's a cable ready for me. I've never had a sound guy refuse to run me direct or try to mic my cab. Guitarists, on the other hand, usually need to run a...

Well, I finally figured out what order I like all of my effects in and now comes the tedious task of cleaning up the wiring on my board. I can solder, so I was wondering if for reliability and longevity I should just buy some Mogami cable and some pancake ends, or get some sort of cable kit...

Not sure if I posted this in right subforum... I was bored today and I decided to "design" my "dream" bass (my actual dream bass is Fender P Elite). This is what I came out with. Idea is to have two P pickups, I really like double P sound. Not sure about bridge, I am not very familiar with...

Has anyone else had the desire to re-buy a bass you used to own? My first was a green/black burst Univox violin shaped bass. I'd like to get another just because it was my first. There are others I crave. Maybe I should make it a two part question: Are there any basses you had that you would...

Because the fan on mine is incredibly loud. Is yours? I'm loving the amp. Lightweight, 500 W, great tone but when the fan kicks on. Eesh! For a live setting, it would get washed out but when you are practicing alone, extremely noticeable. The reviews I've read don't even mention fan noise...

What's the oldest Peavey item you've ever used.

Wiring trouble. I'm missing the condenser. Best place to shop? Wiring diagram would be nice. Searched but they all want money for it. Honestly, I've played for about 6 years but never did my own work on my basses. I really haven't had much trouble except w this bass but it sounds so good...

I can't use my amp for next live . Because first rules under national show and legal problem fender can and may make for me because use their amp ,when their ban their product to be sell in my origin . I rent the amp for one night and even the rent will pay by show. Amp brands that aren't made...

I'm SUPER interested in one. I live in the sac area and they have them at a San Jose store, but that's crap traffic (if you know what I mean) So, just curious, seems that the Elwood's are a little TGTBT considering a good price point (well, other than the "europe" which I cannot afford)...

Over the years, there have been music acts who have owned or co-owned record labels for their own recordings and have also signed other acts for their labels. Here are a few. Can you think of others? The Beatles - Apple Records Led Zeppelin - Swan Song Records Prince - Paisley Park Records...

Not sure exactly what to title my thread or even the proper name for what I'm asking help with. After tips and experience from those who record for a session but do it from their own home studio and completely separate from everything else - Producer sends you the song, you record your part and...

I was looking for something small and portable I can plug my bass and iPhone into so I can practice tunes anywhere. Guy at Sam Ash recommended an Irig HD2 which I bought yesterday. Right out of the box it doesn't work. Headphone jack is toast apparently. Im probably going back today to...

Hi TB, I've successfully wound strat and J bass pups but never P bass. My assumptions are: 1. each coil should be wound to around 5k ohms. 2. Series wiring is the "Normal" configuration. 3. One coil has all magnets north on top, one south. 4. Each coil is wound in the reverse direction of the...

These seem set up to be very easy for bass players to play. I've been trying to figure out how to get into playing outside with everybody else around the old campfire but I've been mostly unsatisfied. Pocket or rechargeable amps and your normal bass is too much work and too much to carry. The...

I recently acquired a Hammon DarkStar after having one and then selling it when I needed cash before ever installing it. I knew it would be going into my Squier Classic Vibe Precision. First I bought a new CV guard but the Dark Star route did not cover the ears of the P pickups. I thought I...

Hey TB'ers. I've wanted a good thumpy P-bass in left handed. I've been looking at the Kiesel P bass for two reasons: I could get it custom, and second, I want a 38mm or 1.5" neck. I'm more comfortable with a J bass neck than the P bass. So has anyone tried or owns the Kiesel/Carvin P bass...
