Ah. OK, I didn't realise that was the case. I used what was at hand and happened to have toothpicks on my desk. I'll keep this in mind. Thank you.

You're da man! I did this and it worked perfectly! Thank you!

Hello lowenders! Greetings from Sydney, Australia. This trick worked a charm on my Stingray Special 5H. I got really lucky. The straplock screw at the bottom of the body fell out as I placed into the gig bag,.meaning I got lucky the bass didn't fall during the gig. I was at Bunnings (hardware...

Same here. Never lets you down. Do you own an Ampeg Head yourself?

That's a good point. I guess it's easy to get good tone with an ampeg.

It is available, but a good $300 more here in Sydney Australia and I don't think I can justify it at this point. There are cabs at the rehearsal studio, but I'd still have to buy a cab for small gigs.

Yep, I was going to remove that but already clicked to post. Thanks for the vote on the LM3.

Hi Low Enders, I want to buy a class D amp head mostly for jamming so I have a consistent sound every time we have band practice, but should also be able to handle small gigs. We play rock / pop covers from the 90s and 2000s. My short list so far: AMPEG – PF-500 – PORTAFLEX 500W ALL-TUBE BASS...

If you had to purchase ONE bass amplifier (pre and power) for your dream studio and money was NOT an issue, which brand and model would you buy? In addition, if you had to buy only one versatile amp to handle most genres except metal, which would it be? Q: Aguilar DB 751 750-Watt Hybrid Bass...

Hi 1EyeBass. I personally like the Vox bass headphones a lot. It's really good when i want to.play late at night at home or when I travel. Just plug it into your instrument and play. The sound is good and you can change the tone and even add abit of effect. My main gripe is that Audio Technica...

Hey Jeff. Try the Kala SUB (Solid Body UBass). You can get it online much cheaper than a hollow body uBass and my friend usesbit for accoustic or jazz gigs where the crowd are not picky. It sounds like a double bass. Just use Vox AmPhones headphones to plug in to the bass and you can hear what...

I'm an account manager in the IT industry too. I find that I have quite some downtime in the evenings and so instead of spending money going out (even though I would get reimbursed, it's more productive to practise the bass.

You know what? It was ok in the middle and higher registers, but in the low end it was a bit muddy. I have since traded the bass. I liked the Kala and it did inspire me. I can't explain it, but the feel of it and the upright sound made me play more creative lines, but I wanted an instrument to...

That's what I did too, but you know...music stores close at some point and with the cities I travel too, staying in the hotel room and playing bass keeps me away from temptation and spending a lot of money ;-) I travel every week and know what you mean about wanting to travel light. You can...

Well...... I guess you owe me an apology. For introducing me to the Hofner Shorty. I went ahead and bought one and am awaiting delivery! Ha! :) Thank you also for the links to the threads. I will look at them when the Shorty arrives and maybe get the Planet Waves Dare strap. In the end, I...
