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...

Say you’re a band manager with an unlimited source of money and resources, and are tasked with putting together a supergroup, of any genre and of your favorite Guitarists, Bassists, Keyboardists, Horn Players, Etc... Who would you choose? (Living or Deceased!) For me I would have to go with...

I don’t know what the initial price was, but he wrote (and then deleted) that someone had offered him $150, and things progressed from there. The picture’s uploaded weird, but the order should be: #4, #1, #2, #3

As a beginner, just starting to play in a small room with drums, guitar, keyboard and a singer, I am finding it difficult to hear myself in the mix. If I just pump up the amp volume, I start to get way too loud and thumpy... In addition to fiddling with the amp (it is not mine, a rumble 200), I...

It looks like an Ibanez just can’t tell you what model, does anyone know ?

guy's name is Dave Wintour, session guy. In this song (you can hear pretty well at around 1:30 and after) the bass sound is very unique, almost synth sounding. Any idea how this sound is obtained? it's so "tight" I'm amazed! it's clearly overdriven a bit but there's something else for sure...

Seeing as John Wick III is about to hit the Cinemas. I've been running through the previous films in anticipation / preparation and I was struck by the bass line and fuzz on the first film...what fuzz unit do you think was used on "Killing Strangers" by Maryln Manson? It sounds a bit...

a former member shared these pics in a thread about the Eastwood Magnum and as cool as the Eastwood is oh holy mother of oh my god does it pale compared to one of the finest pieces of vintage bass art ever seen. I felt the owner (wherever they be) deserved an encore for presenting such a clean...

G'day, just wondering what you guys use for a case? I am in Australia and it seems hard to get a Spector case. Any help would be great. Cheers

My menu of responses: To my friends: “It’s a stinky little bar band.” 2. To strangers: “We’re big in Hartford.” 3. To people at a club who want to know if tonight’s band is any good: “We suck, but here we are anyway. It’s a mystery to me, too.” :D

Title says it all... If you oil the boards on your basses; What do you use? Thanks!

What type of pickup is truest to the instuments acoustic sound? I have an Ibby set up with an east pre and Bart mk1s. The East pre is so clean it's almost exact to the acoustic sound. The Barts make it a little dark but I'm changing them to nord duals. I am eye balling another Ibby. It's a...

Long rant/post alert!!!! Wow. We have had a TON of threads lately about rehearsals. It seems this is an area where virtually every local bar band could use some improvement. First, let's talk about what a rehearsal is for.... and the difference between rehearsal and practice. You practice at...

Hello, I plan on purchasing a JJ or PJ style of bass, putting some form of flatwounds on it, and cranking out some Motown, Blues Rock and Macca lines, while hopefully writing counterpoint to my own original music. Anyways, regarding tonal versatility, how necessary is having four band EQ on a...

Fer me, and I have no idea why, its... My Own Worst Enemy For some reason pretty much every cover band I've ever played in played it, and played it every time we played. And I still give it my all :). Well... I try...

Guy on Craigslist says it’s a v4 but it’s not like one I’ve seen. I can’t tell what it says on the pic but I thought someone here might know what it is. Thanks

This is for sale locally, looks not quite stock, but I don't know much about factory options... sorry about the photo quality.

I'm willing to spend money to get the best tools for the job. I'm tuning F#BEAD on a 35" 5-string so I will be going with .190 .142 .106 .079 .055 I would also like to tune the other nut slots appropriately.

I have a set of TI flats on my Squier CV P bass for a couple of months now - playing around 5-10 hrs per week. First bass, unexperienced player. The strings seem now to be a little brighter, in a growl way - specially the E string, the vibration really resonates thru the bass in a pleasant way...

Just wanted to post a quick poll. I play funk, rock, r&b type stuff. I'm in the middle of building a new bass and wanted to get quick opinions on what kind of pickups will sound best for this kind of playing. The bass is Ash/Maple and J-style. I think I know how I'm leaning, but it doesn't hurt...

I recently came across this Fender. It has a Jazz Neck, Precision neck pickup, And a Humbucker just to mess with me. Oh, and a jazz pickguard.... What is this??

reports of GC's demise are premature? I'm not sure how this hangs in the balance of things but it'll be interesting to see what they put behind this move, will it be a mega store to capture the fledgling guitar market here or go small to test the actual market and either enlarge or hit the road...

..... more of a “boutique style” bass ? A few guys here and there have suggested it to me, as I mostly build Classic style basses ..... but I figured “why not”? Here’s what I’m working on .... Bound bookmatched ziricote top with Spanish Cedar back Maple neck with paduak stringers, tiltback...

What is this? Its older, has a bridge I've never seen and someone converted it to lefty.

Any info would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a string that's preferably a flatwound, but with a controlled punchy bottom that is more 'tight' than 'fat' and has a subdued top-end that is characteristic of that type of string. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’m new to TalkBass and to the bass playing community, looking forward to it. My 15 yo son and I are planning to start playing the bass together. We’re mostly into jazz and he wants it to be a passive bass, so I guess we’ll stick to that. We’re prepared to spend around 700-800 dollars (7000-8000...

Not being a Rush fan, I only know this song from radio play as I do Tom Sawyer, Fly By Night, and a few others (names I can’t associate with the songs) over the many years Rush has cranked out top rock music. Limelight is terrific because it’s a Get In rock it and Get Out type song. Most great...

I know that bass players like Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten are contemporary bass players that make their own solo albums. But can you give me some more Spotify tips of Bass players bringing out their own music? I'm more a pop/rock kind of person than jazz oriented.

As above Probably a rare bird in my neck of the woods, which may be why I have not seen or noticed before. What is going on here?. Is this factory? What's the reasoning?

My band has the FB page of course, but is that enough in this day and age? Last band I was in had a full website domain, but that didn't seem to get much traction. The FB was our main outlet. I was thinking about adding Instagram or a You Tube page for the band. Are these worth the effort? Who...
