Took the ampeg back

Guitar center, search ampeg and then lowest to highest price. Sometimes it's the old style 15 for $150 sometimes it new style for $150, they have a steady flow of those things. My 10 was only a hundred bucks. It's a lot louder than I thought, I may have to return it. My girlfriend already complaining and I've got it just below volume level 1. I'm having a great day though! But you're right, I blew my budget. My bass is new and I'm broke. The loudest I got it so far was only level 3 for a few seconds. It was too loud for me, I wasn't expecting that.

Got my Traben. Am I in the club now? Got my first bass amp too, ampeg ba110. Could you give a quick idiots guide for those knobs on the Traben? P.S. I like jazz.

So, I'm trying to figure out what all these knobs do on the guitar. 5 knobs!

Got me a Traben and Ampeg ba110

I don't have anyone that will set up a guitar for free but my contact I feel did me right. I sold the bass for 75.00 with a broken truss rod. I've made a decision. I want a Traben Array Limited, gloss black, black hardware, traditional dot inlays on the fretboard, no big letter T or fancy flames etc. I might be getting one and painting it. I know a few people that are interested in music and have guitars but they also got busy lives. One man band here.

I let a guy look at my bass last night. He says he can fix my bass for 75 or, fixed it's worth around 150 and offered to just buy it for 75, make the repair and sell it himself. So I can pay him 75 to fix it, or sell it to him and pocket 75. I told him I would sleep on the decision. After sleeping on it I think I will sell it tonight before he changes his mind. Tomorrow I'll go visit several pawn shops and see what I can find.

I have a question about your Traben. Is this in it? https://www.zzounds.com/item--EMG877?siid=230602&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpq7DkvrA7QIVg5yGCh2jMAdCEAQYAyABEgJvo_D_BwE

There is one on reverb in my price range. The bridge I'm really drawn to is the tribal, not the tribal flame just tribal. I love the black out Traben but don't like the fancy inlays, I prefer traditional dots like you have. Also I want piano high gloss black body and headstock. I don't think the guitar I want exist so I'm likely to seek out a used Traben and modify it.

Geek99 thanks for the feedback, I'm highly considering the ba10 for it's price, just under $100 which would leave me $400 for a bass. I've already got my Christmas shopping done so the money I have reserved for my Bass is my present to myself. I love playing and I'm over playing with no amp and a guitar with broke truss rod.

Thanks again. I understand what you mean, I bet you are right.

Thanks for the reply, would you please tell me, if you tap that big oval with your fingers does it seem solid under it? Or possibly hollow?

Synthaside, thank you for the suggestion, I will consider it. Traben style, yeah! I imagine myself at a Jazz club, Traben, Gloss black, Black hardware, rose wood fretboard with traditional dots and in front of me a beautiful woman singing wearing a sequin gown. Geek99, I looked around google for a Metalman neck, no luck, I found a whole build your own guitar kit that included the neck for 250, I would rather just get a new guitar, maybe in the future I will learn to open the guitar and fix it. The amps I'm leaning towards are the Ampeg BA110V2 1x10 Bass Combo Amp, they are around 100 which would give me more money for a bass and in the future I could get another one and use both of them at the same time by use of an A/B split pedal, I think would work? The other amp I'm thinking of getting is the Ampeg BA115V2 1x15 150W Bass Combo Amp around 200

I am in Tennessee, the tale is not so sad, I learned a lesson, do not mess with truss a rod. And I didn't give up, I am saving up for better stuff. Here is another question. The guitar, I'm told has Rotosound RS66LB Medium Light Long Scale Bass Strings. If this is what really is on it, I like those and am told they are the lightest strings and good for a beginner. Is it true? I've been wondering, I could luck up and find a good 5 string bass in my price range of 250 what would be equal to those strings in a 5 gauge set? Or maybe even a lighter set? I am not using a pick, I slap with my thumb and gallop index and middle finger and do the pull up pop with my middle finger; I also like doing vibrato with my other hand on the fretboard.

I have a Dean metal man that looks like Dimebag Darrels, I've only played around a year, I tried to tighten truss rod and it broke the bolt off. I only paid 100 for it used, I don't know what to do with it. It will cost more to fix than it's wort. I'm trying to find something else to play. I don't have an amp yet. I have almost 500 saved. I need an amp and bass. I would like to tell you all what I like, and am thinking about and would like feedback. Any ideas on what to do with my broke bass? Guitars I like; Sire Marcus Miller M2 4 string, and am searching for a used one hoping to get used for half price. I also like Traben, they are showing up in my price range, around 250. Because of easier to find trabens I might get a traben I don't like the Tribal Flame bridges on them and want to find one with traditional dot inlays and remove the flashy bridge and replace with something more traditional. Could you all help me to know what kinds of bridges would replace and fit with no mod other than drilling new holes. I have painted two guitars for friends and they turned out good, I used car paint, I have done my fair share of auto body work and have the ability to paint, fill in the old holes with wood filler and repaint guitar. I also like the DeArmond Pilot and went to look at one at my local guitar store, it is 200 but the neck has a bow and I am afraid to get it after what happened to my Dean. I'm finding ampeg 15 combo amps for around 250. I like Jazz, classic rock and country.

Hey there! I made this account so I could ask about that bass. I'm thinking of getting one and removing the pickguard, could anyone please tell me, is it solid wood under the guard or is there a big pocket hole that hide wiring etc.?
