We’ve got a Classic Vibe Bass VI in the shop! If you’re unfamiliar, the Bass VI, first produced between 1961 and 1975, was essentially a standard 6 string guitar but set an octave down, with bass strings. Unlike most electric basses though, the string spacing remains the same as an electric guitar, and it sports a vintage style tremolo, three alnico single coil pickups, and pickup switches similar to that of a Jaguar, so it plays and feels like a Fender Strat or Jag or even a baritone guitar, despite having bass strings. In other words, it’s crazy cool to play and something you really have to try out in person! Is it a guitar? Is it a bass? Is it both or is it somewhere in between? Come by the shop and decide for yourself!
It’s a very special #FuzzFriday! Designed for Wata of the band @borisdronevil 🐇The Hizumitas is a doom heavy fuzz from @earthquakerdev with a filter sweep that takes your tone from heavy to “DAMN that’s heavy!” Come check it out in shop. Pray to your lucky rabbit foot it’s still here! #hizumitas #fuzz #boris #doom #earthquakerdevices #indystringtheory #fountainsquare #fountainsquareindy #shoplocal #shopsmall #supportlocal #keepindyindie #indianapolis #indy #loveindy #indymusic

Got a decent bass or amp that’s just collecting dust? Come see us next week or text us pics of your gear, any model info, and your asking price! We’ve been flying through bass and amp sales lately thanks to y’all, but we’re running short and could use more sweet gear.

It’s #mcflyfriday and where this amp is going, we don’t need roads. 😎 Packed with features, the McFly from @jacksonampworks provides both Tweed and Blackface tones, while also having the ability to switch your output tubes with the flick of a switch. And thanks to its futuristic Power Scaling, you can get your tube distortion to 88 without burning the tires! Don’t be a Biff, make it in to play this amp before your left in the smoke 🚗💨⚡️(p.s. your kids are going to love it) #indystringtheory #fountainsquare #fountainsquareindy #shoplocal #shopsmall #supportlocal #keepindyindie #indianapolis #indy #loveindy #indymusic
