    Question about my new bass - technical

    Hey guys...thanks for all the help so far. I cleaned the pot, and it did help a good amount, although it still crackles a little -especially if I turn it while playing a note. Also, its still loose. I can pull it out a little even with the screw tightened 100%. The other ones are tight and...

    Question about my new bass - technical

    awesome, thanks...I think the hiss was actually because I was playing around with different sounds and I tried putting the treble really high on the amp. That, with the j-pup and tone all the way up I think caused the hiss. I'm getting the contact cleaner tomorrow. From what I understand, I...

    Question about my new bass - technical

    thanks...i wasnt sure whether to put it here or in the repair forum. I don't want to spend another $40 or whatever to have a tech do 5 min of work or to clean the pot or something. Thanks anyway. I'm going to clean the pot first and see if that helps.

    Question about my new bass - technical

    Hi guys - not sure if this is the right forum or now, but what the hell. I just bought a bass off ebay (Fender MIM Deluxe P-Bass Special, with passive electronics). I got it for $350 including a Fender hard case, and its in great condition; it looks like it was hardly used. However, when I...

    Which amp should I buy between these choices?

    I just bought the TKO and its amazing. I heard it with the piezo turned off and it sounded a little too muffled, not enough bright. With it on, and with the equalizer, I can't think of a single sound I cant reproduce. Definitely a bargain for $100. Thanks for the help guys.

    Which amp should I buy between these choices?

    yorkville is sold. Im going to go check out the peavey now. It seems like a steal. It has a 80W, 15" speaker, piezo horn in it too. Seems like a pretty good deal.

    Which amp should I buy between these choices?

    thanks guys youve been really helpful. I'm going to try to get the Yorkville right now. If he hasnt sold the bass yet I think he might be willing to cut a deal.

    Which amp should I buy between these choices?

    Hey guys. I just bought a bass after not playing for nearly ten years. Now I need an amp. I'm not a serious player, I just play at home for fun usually. Every so often I might jam with a friend on guitar. I have a choice between these 4, either on ebay or craigslist - what do you guys...

    What kind of epiphone is this?

    Thanks for the help guys...I thought it was an accu, but I couldnt find any pics online of it. I guess the fact that its from the 80s is why. If I end up getting it I'll be sure to let you guys know how it sounds. I'm intrigued bc of the similar setup to the Fender deluxes (which I just bought...

    The Active/Passive Club

    Thats IS really awesome...I just bought a Fender deluxe P-bass (still waiting for it to arrive) and I was wondering if you could send me some detailed instructions I could give to a tech to do this same setup. I would LOVE to be able to switch to passive whenever I want. Again, beautiful setup.
