    What was Kelly Clarkson's bassist playing on SNL?

    Even the worst Squier is 100 times better than a First Act bass you get at Wal-Mart.

    What was Kelly Clarkson's bassist playing on SNL?

    Wouldn't it have to be the same, or there would be trademark issues? The First Act stuff at Wal-Mart is just barely playable....on a good day. How can they make something so crappy and something so good?

    Poll: Fender Bass Pickups: Mod or Original?

    Stock for me. Jag bass. If I were to replace anything, it'd be the bridge, and I'd but a BadAss bridge on it.

    The Official "Basses I Have Owned" Thread

    Don't own anymore: Rickenbacker 4003 Still own: Squier P-Bass - my first bass, looks like crap, plays like crap, is falling apart, but I can't seem to let it go. Is basically only used as decoration now. 1982 G&L L-1000 - all original, acquired this thing when an old high school was going...

    Stacking a 410 and a 115...and Peavey Tour 700 question

    Just wondering how everyone stacked (or didn't stack) their cabs? I've got my 115 on the bottom and the 410 on top of that. Do you prefer to stack them this way, in reverse, or do you not stack them at all? Just kind of curious to see what people prefer. Also, I recently got a Peavey...

    Removing spray-paint from tolex.

    I work in an auto detail shop and we use stuff called Prosol (sometimes seen as Pro Solv) to remove paint. I've used it to remove paint from tolex, window glass, car paint, etc. It shouldn't be very hard to find and is cheap, all you'd need is a spray, let it sit for a few seconds, then wipe...

    Will I overpower my 115?

    I have a Peavey Tour 700 head that runs parallel into an Acoustic 410 and an Acoustic 115. The head is 700 watts @ 4 ohms. The 410 is 400 watts RMS (8 ohms) The 115 is 250 watts RMS (8 ohms) So, if I were to, theoretically, run the amp as high as it will go, will it be pushing 350...

    Ashdown MAG C115 w/ extension cabinet?

    Hey, I was looking into the Ashdown MAG C115 and then hooking up an additional (probably 410) extension cab to it. I've heard that you need an extension cab to get all 307 watts out of it. Is this true? Also, I have read online that you have to first power on the combo unit, then plug in...

    Need help - Ampeg B1RE and Acoustic 115's

    Well that's what I'm hoping. It says the B1RE is rated at 300 watts @ 4 ohms and 175 @ 8 ohms. The only reason I am getting two of the cabs is to be able to use all 300 watts if need be. Two 8 ohm cabs run parallel will make it a 4 ohm load. So I should have access to all 300 watts. I have...

    Need help - Ampeg B1RE and Acoustic 115's

    Alright, I am in a semi-professional band, we play 60-80 shows a year and we are working on lining out a small tour this summer. Up until a few weeks ago I was running my 1982 G&L L-1000 through a 600-watt (though I don't think it was really 600 watts RMS) Kustom GrooveBass 115 combo. This...
