    2022 kick-off: first bass you played in the new year?

    Double Bass Pirastro Eudoxa after (few days short of) one year...

    Today, concluding my daily practice, I had the chance to use some recording equipment that I expected to do a good job in actually capturing what my bass sounds like with its almost 1yr-old Eudoxa strings. Caveats: I am no recording tech, and I don't want to be one. I didn't want to spend a...

    I may not use my Berg NV-215 this year............

    I have been swip-swapping heads and cabs this past winter. Mesa 400+, Peavey Alphabass, Ashdown ABM500, and GK 800RB. The latter with 2 x Aguilar GS112 cabs with a Deltalite in one of them, X overed into a Klipsch center speaker is amazing me the most. It's not the prettiest match but when I...

    NBD - My Birth Year Bass!

    As many of us do, I have been keeping my eye out for a good deal on a birth year bass, and for me that would be a 1975 Precision. About a week ago, I came across an ad for a 1975 Precision in natural finish at a below average price, so I asked my wife what she thought, telling her it was okay...

    I got my Hofner Ignition yesterday. It should work well when I resume gigging after back surgery healing is done. I’m keeping the roundwounds for a while but will put on flatwounds as it deserves.

    Can someone help me identify what year my P-Bass is?

    Can you guys help me identify my P-bass? I bought it used from BlackMarket music in Hollywood 10 years ago. When they sold it to me, they told me it was a 1972.

    PF-500 through Hartke TP 4x10?

    TL;DR: Before buying a PF-500, I'd like to verify whether it's one of the old ones that had the problems with "cutting out". I'd also like to know whether my cab could handle a PF-500. I'd rather tote around an 11lb PF-500 than my 44lb solid-state SVT-350H. There's an Ampeg PF-500 at a local...

    What year did Squier become good?

    I read on here how some wish they had a Squier back in the day as good as they make now. When were Squiers improved to the point they are worth the value. I ask because sometimes I will see a used Squier for sale from the 80s or 90s with a vintage price tag. It would seem those should be priced...
