store

Heading down to San Francisco for work next week. Will have some personal time and wondered if there are any shop recommendations... I think about this sometimes when visiting new places remembering a couple of amazing shops in Seattle or how I want to visit Sadowsky next time I am in NYC and...

With the rise in online retail and decline in brick and mortar music stores, I am curious to know what percentage of your basses are bought of each. Seeing as playing an instrument can be a very personal and intimate thing, do you need to try and feel the instrument before committing to a purchase?

Hello, my name is Silas Caldwell and I am opening a boutique music store in Nashville, Tennessee in January. We are basically done with our guitar and guitar amps section, but as a bass player, I naturally want to appeal to bass players with a nice selection of boutique basses and bass amps...

So I plan to uninstall the neck on my current old 2010 production main Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Bass with a pretty battered up body and transfer it to the mahogany body of another 2017 production GSRM20B Mikro Bass in Weathered Black finish that I got, since the neck and frets on that one are messed...

Hi there, I have a bad back especially got worse brining the upright bass home. I like to keep the bass in the living room where we play music with the family. If I'm going to use it for half an hour to one hour every day is it ok to lean it vertically to the side of the sofa or facing the...

Throughout the pandemic, I've noticed a fairly substantial reduction in the amount of pickles in the refrigerated section at my regular grocery store. Anyone know what might be causing this? I gotta have my Clausen pickles!!! :D:drool:

I know there are some culinary whizbangs on this site... but regarding the pre-made grocery store stuff, let's hear your faves! I'm currently looking for a new jar or two! :drool:

For me they're: Talkbass Basschat Reverb eBay (sometimes) Craigslist (sometimes) Facebook (sometimes) BassDirect (nice folks, will ship internationally, and they get cool secondhand gear) Rudy's Music Kebo's Bass Works NJ Bass and Guitar Center Bass San Diego Guitar Center (used) Sweetwater...

I will be in New Orleans for a week, staying in the French Quarter, and I will need to fondle a bass guitar. Looking for a good shop to visit, ideally on foot. Thanks for any recommendations.

Oh thank God it’s almost the weekend, which means a lot of us are fixing to go onstage and play for a little (or lot) of money and stories! Which is what got me thinking about the best way to maximize stage estate, and one of the odd-shaped things that takes up some of that stage space is our...

Im in Tokyo for the week and forgot to note the name of the store(s) featured in Bass Player Magazine around Jan or Feb of this year- can anyone help!? I’ll get some pics to post if I can get there! Google is not helping me Thanks to all

Next October i will be in Tokyo for a few days,... it is strictly a pleasure trip and I am looking forward to shop for a fine bass guitar. Since is the largest city in the world, I would appreciate if someone with experience could give some tips on where should i look. Thanks a lot!

Caught this gem on Instagram today

TL;DR: There are children out there who think bass is super cool :cool::bassist: I went to my local L&M yesterday evening and saw that they had a new Rickenbacker shipment. I decided to try one. Just by the way, I am not a great player, but I always like to try the Ricks when they come in...

Good day guys! I was supposed to buy new pickups, electronics and tuners for my bass. Unfortunately for me, I can't buy from GFS anymore since I use a virtual card to buy stuff online (I'm from the Philippines and I use a courier to have it sent over and bypass customs) since they don't accept...

I am looking to make some modifications to a headstock, cutting a bit off here or sanding a bit down there. I want to properly seal and finish it, but want something that is cheap, easy to get, easy to use, and will still leave a nice finish. I don't have a ventilated area to work in, so it...

Saw this bass that was traded in at music store. Looks like an SD pickup and the bridge doesn't look right either. But is the body and neck legit or is that fake decal on the headstock too?

This is a economic question that is making the mice in my head tired. Is it better to buy something from the source\builder\musician or from a store\webstore if it is the same price? On one hand, if I buy a pedal, CD, or bass directly from a builder or musician, that cuts out the middle man. All...

I've yet to see a Bacchus Bass hanging up on the wall and believe me, I frequent quite a few stores. I have no problem buying from reverb.com but I still have concerns about getting something shipped from Japan. Should I worry about customs or paying more than the price of the bass and s&h?

I bought a bass from them today - Wildwood Guitars. I never heard of them before, yet I think they know their instruments. What I mean, they seem to carry not only newer but vintage as well. Their customer services is really nice. Very friendly. Asked what strings I wanted and gauges. What type...

Locally, if I want to buy say a marking knife and a mortising gauge all I have is Woodcraft (I'm not going to find these at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace.) Woodcraft has good stuff, but their prices seem high (if I'm wrong, tell me.) Is there an online store where I can save some money, still buy...

What is more beneficial when taking lessons(or does it even matter), going through a music store, using the store's guitar teacher like say at a Guitar Center or paying a teacher directly taking them say out of the teachers own house?

...mine is so stunning as to be embarrassing... If this thread catches on, I’ll be back with the story. To throw it out here in the OP would be too much like bragging. Suffice to say, it’s music-related. :thumbsup:

i was walking thru a thrift store about a week ago, just doing what most do at one which was looking for treasure out of someones donation. i had just watched a you tube video on how to fix a slightly twisted neck along the length of the fingerboard and onto the peghead. the guy used a couple...

Searched because I would think someone else would have this issue. Click on the store and I get a blank page regardless of which device I'm on. Any idea whats up? Or I am I just not welcome at the TB store?

Hey @paul, I haven't been able to access the TB store for a while now. I get "problem loading page" and the following: " Secure Connection Failed The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity...

Hello, i'am planning on storing a few bass guitars for the future maybe 4 years down the line, and i was wondering watts the best way to store them?:eyebrow: and how should i store them, where would it be a good place to store them, because ive heard some pretty horrible stories of necks and...

So I'm about to get my bonus and i've decided to spoil myself a little so my question is right now I'm playing through a Harkey LH 1000 for 12s 210s and 118. Everything is split so it's roughly 600 W. I am going to upgrade my 18 to a seismic audio 18 that has an RMS of 1800 W and 210s that...

I just put a new set of strings on last night. Right away I noticed the D string had a buzz. Not a fret buzz, just a twang buzz. So I adjusted the intonation and sure enough, I have the D string all the way forward on the bridge and it's still about an 1/8 step flat. So, what would you guys...

my experiments are adding up! How do you store the bridges properly to keep them safe from warping or anything weather related? Thanks.

So, the impending storm has brought to the forefront (once again) the issue of generators. Years ago I briefly worked at Lowe's Home Improvement when Floyd hit here in Eastern NC. (1999 I think?) It was a huge flooding event. Being in the management training program, I was "manager on duty"...

Believe me this is where this belongs, Got a nice % off discount coupon today which is nice of them to include me in this however and the reason for posting it in bass humor section is as following Products from the following manufacturers are excluded: A Designs, ADAM, Aguilar, Allen & Heath...

Hi, I was not sure where to post this! I am visiting the United States of America next weekend and I'd like to buy an amp and maybe a bass. I read many posts here saying that people had a 10,15 or 20 % rebate coupon. I just don't know how are the coupons work? Where can I get some? Thanks...

Title says it all. I think 1 hour trying pedals in a store would be better than the many hours I spend looking at gear online :D but GC and Samash are often slim on their bass pedal options. I'm thinking of getting an octave pedal and I think I've narrowed it down to the Aguilar, EBS, or MXR...

I just want to ask what's the best place that's relatively close to montreal when your looking for basses. Where does they have alot of stock?

A company which has 2 stores in my country currently has a fretless bass that I'm interested in in the store that's in the other city. I asked them if they could bring it to the store in my city so that I can get a feel for it, as I've never played fretless before. They said they will only bring...

.....I found this. Seemed as though it had my name all over it. Not sure why. ;) I don't even know what I'll do with it.

Hey All, So here's the situation. I am buying 2 new tube amps, one big, one small. The decision on the small amp came to an Ampeg PF-50T. There are only 2 stores locally in Australia that I can find that stock them and are charging $1835 AUD on Ebay or Best Offer. Which I sent them a...
