    Never Know What You'll Find Searching TB..

    So I was trying to find a past thread on the "Bass Whoosh" from earlier this year (wanted some fun examples to practice).. Needless to say, this wasn't what I was expecting to come up! :wideyed::confused::laugh: What are some of the strangest threads you've come upon digging in the ever so deep...

    Very pleasant surprise

    As some of you know, I've been considering getting back into playing after a 14+ year time away. I've been looking at used basses and new Ibanez models at GC. I stopped by Danny D's Guitar Emporium during lunch today. All they carry is Fender, so I figured I'd check a few out. First, I played a...

    NBD...pleasant surprise! G&L

    so yesterday I went into GC just for the hell of it. I’ve basically given up on them these days but this particular GC I hadn’t been to in a while. (I have 4 within a 30 mile radius) This one typically has some better gear...I was shocked that they had 5 G&L USA Basses on the Wall way up high on...

    I Have a surprise for you.

    Yesterday afternoon I got a text from a drummer friend and all it says is, "I have a surprise for you." So I text back asking what it is. He said if he told me, it wouldn't be a surprise, but I would find out soon. Okay so I decided to wait and see what it might be. Background: I first met this...

    NBD: well this is a surprise

    My new 58 AVRI arrived in the mail today! It is beautiful and plays great. One minor problem, I couldn’t get any sound out of it! Then it came on, I played it for a bit, got her tuned up, and the sound went out again. Now I can’t get it to come on at all. I plugged the cable into another bass...

    Mail order surprise

    Came home from my stress test at the cardiology clinic and my wife says "look in the living room - Santa Claus brought you something." So I look and it's a big cardboard box. She says it's from our son-in law. So I open it and it's a freaking brand new sunburst Fender Jazz Bass. Now that just...

    Can buy a single pedal for surprise gift--which one?

    Target of holiday gift effort: Passive P/J bass (cheap, stock, VVT). Has crappy tuner that works and a Korg BeatBoy for a metronome. Rumble 40 (3 knob eq). Plays for fun and education, no band. No genre focus. No effects pedals, no knowledge of them. Son plays piano--just starting. I can buy a...

    NBD....Huge Surprise! (Yamaha content)

    just going to start by saying I’ve owned Basses by just about every manufacturer out there. The one thing that has stayed constant are my Fender USA Jazzes and My Lakland Jazzes. I currently own 5 Fenders and 3 Lakland. I’ve been recently interested in the new Yamaha BB434. I love the new look...

    Surprise, surprise...NBD: Vintage G&L

    I did some trading today with @DaveDeVille ...he’s fantastic to do a trade with, exactly as you’d hope a regular Talkbass member would be. Anyway, I came home with a 1982 G&L L-1000 ....this is such a great bass ! It has a great neck...kind of a wide, flat C...very different from my normal...

    The surprise bass solo

    Filled in for a group for what I thought would be a boring night - potential train wreck. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually turned into a lot of fun. I was worried because there were 3 guitar players [one of which is a dedicated slide player]. I was expected the volume wars...

    Another surprise from Peavey

    One of the bands I work with is planning on some international travel. My main bass is my very much cherished G.Gould ggi6. I also own fretted and fretless Roscoe 6's but am not too keen about taking any of those basses on an airline. For that reason, I was looking for a decent 6 that did not...

    Double Bass MXL606 – quite a surprise

    If memory serves, Chris Fitzgerald used this mic some time ago, but I couldn't locate the specific thread, so I'm adding this here. I use this to mic my Chadwick Folding Bass for duo and jazz trio gigs, using an Audix CabGrabber instead of an H-Clamp (the cab-grabber is about $100 cheaper and...

    String Change Surprise

    I had a sealed set of La Bella DTFs (760FL) that I decided to put on my Rick Sunday night and what did I find when I opened the pack? An E, an A and two G strings. No D! Normally, I will inspect a pack of strings if they are not sealed, like TIs, by going through each envelope to make sure I...

    Surprise: Fender Rumble amp!

    Hi everyone, Like many of you, I rehearse in many different rehearsal studios that supply backline. Recently, I went into a space I hadn't been in before. The amp was the one pictured above: a Fender Rumble 200 watt head with an Ampeg cab. After Genz Benz was bought out and eliminated by...

    Well, that didn't entirely suck, which was a surprise

    Sometime ago I discovered my 1986 Fender Jazz Special fretless had fretboard wear induced by roundwound strings so I switched to flats. Recently I went to tapes and I thought they sucked. In practice in the music room they were thin and harsh and just didn't do what I wanted, especially if I...

    NBD FENDER MUSTANG P/J, GC Surprise

    I had some time to kill so stopped at the local GC. Their basses are usually pretty bad as far as set up and all smudged with fingerprints. I look up and see one of the new Mustang P/J's. The bass was just put on the wall the day before. Seems they are selling very well as Sweetwater inventory...

    Surprise NBD! - clearly a project

    A friend of mine passed away last year. When we were 14, He was one of the guys that convinced me playing bass would be cool and we had a kick-ass hardcore punk band in the early 80's. Now his family has to figure out what to do with his collection of guitars and amps. They decided that this...

    Credit Score Surprise

    Something weird happened. A six-year-old medical bill disappeared off my credit record over a month ago. I was under the impression seven years was the guideline. I was actually going to contact the collection agency and negotiate a settlement when my taxes come back LOL Any ideas ?

    Acoustic Surprise

    Took my Epifani PS 400 class D head to Guitar Center tonight and just for the heck of it played the neo speaker loaded BN series by Acoustic. A 2x10 and the 1x15. I was really surprised by how good and tight they sounded. I always thought of them as not as good, or economy only entry level, as I...

    Surprise find

    Just got a Hughes and Kettner 4x10 cabinet and I'm shocked at how good it sounds. I picked it up local for 65 bucks and paired it with my Trace Elliot 1x15. It was crisp, yet had a solid punch. This might be one of the best deals that I ever got. Have a Trace V series head coming and will be...

    Flummoxed? Yes, I'm flummoxed.

    A couple of years ago when I had some cash available I looked into buying a Hofner Beatle Bass. I played some inexpensive ones. (The Ignition series) No, they didn't work for me for some reason. I tried the mid priced Contemporary Series. No, that didn't really do it for me either. So I...
