The Dover DA-50B looks pretty interesting. 50W all tube, and the designer apparently used to be a senior designer for Hiwatt. Very little in the way of reviews online though.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Get a 5-string .045 - .130 set and discard the 0.45 Most importantly though, take your bass to a competent guitar tech and get it properly set up for Drop A#, it will make the world of difference whatever strings you go with :)

Poplar is lighter, but wood tops are so thin they won't have much affect on the final weight of the instrument tbh. You can definitely forgoe a top wood on an alder bass if you are going for a solid colour option. Top wood is 100% for appearance. It is a very thin "slice" of wood that is used as...

If you're getting a solid colour finish then it really doesn't matter? Especially something like poplar or flame maple where the grain of the wood is the attraction. It won't make any difference to the tone of the instrument so go with whichever is cheapest.

I do wonder how many people actually truly love the sound of the SVT, and how many just claim to because it's what's expected of them, because I...

1st - Fender Rumble 15(?) Combo. The one you get in the Squier starter pack :D Surprisingly fun little amp. Still own but currently on loan to a friend's son who is beginning to learn. 2nd - Orange OB1-300 + Orange OBC115. Really liked the head, wasn't a fan of the cab. Later added an OBC410...

This x 100 Poll needs a 5th option. "Topology doesn't matter for pre or power section."

Ironic considering the Kemper isn't a modeller...

To be fair the "Live Sound" forum may as well just be renamed "IEM Discussion" a this point...

Do you get most of your tone from your pedalboard, have a pedal based D.I. for your FOH sound, and need a relatively clean amp with plenty of headroom that takes pedals well to drive your cabs? Get the the Quilter Do you rely on your amp for most of your tone and need a D.I. for FOH? Get the...
