Not sure if a thread like this exists, but thought it might be good to share some good deals that we find on gear that we might not necessarily be into, but others might.
Pretty good price for an HH Special - $1499
This is a great deal!
Of course yours go to 11, lol.
I can only get 10 in each of mine.
I saw the special this morning and went and got it. Not sure where to fit it. Problems.
Also ordered strings for me b206 while at it
No other decisions made
What strings did you pick?
Ugh. Six strings
Well I have the b204 fretless in mind, and thought what would flats sound on a similar bass. So I looked at flats for 6 strings. All they had were LaBella’s, .026, .035, .044, .056, .075, .095. Good grief no.
And Thomastik Infeld, which are a perfectly reasonable .033 .043 .056 .070 .100 .136 but $148
Considered NYXLs, but went with DR Black Beauties. Give tapewound a try, really haven’t tried that since I became a semi competent novice player
I left the D’Addario XLs on it it came with (stock) as they sound good. I have the Labella flats but the mood hasn’t struck me to try them yet.
If I don’t like them, then D’Addario’s for sure
Hey, for any Ibanez fans out there, or anyone looking for a good upgrade to their first bass (or second, or third, or fourth), I found this the other day:
I’m not selling it nor do I know the seller. I just know that if I had ANY bass budget left for the next 80 million years, I’d pick it up in a heartbeat.
This is less than half price . . .
Refurbished beat buddies on sale from the manufacturer with a warranty. Good price.
Dang that’s a fantastic price.
Thank you !!! They will take another 10% off for giving them your info for the first time.
Both @John_E and I have one. It’s a quality piece of gear.
I’m excited about it. Something else to not have to mess with my phone about.
Thanks for the heads up, @Barney. Mine is on the way.
$118.39, tax and shipping included.
I use it all the time for sax practice, much more feel than a metronome.
I got mine used but basically new for $199, so $119 is a steal and a half.
I did end up buying all the jazz packs for the thing and use them a lot.
I pump it through my Phil Jones cab and it sounds amazing.

I think I’ll run it into the octacapture so it hits the Neumann monitors. Then I can have it for keys too.
