    Has the bass world changed to flatwounds?

    I started playing with roundwounds and i always had a lot of fret buzz because i'm a very aggressive player. i'm not as aggressive as I used to be but it's still kind of in my nature to play hard. I always thought, "bass has heavy strings. use heavy picks?" so that didnt help all my fret...

    Fender Standard Basses (Jazz Bass/Precision Bass)

    I couldn't have said it better myself. I always knew that if I bought one of these i would put a Badass on it. I don't know if i would change the pickups. depends on how i like the 'out of the box sound' thanks.

    Fender Standard Basses (Jazz Bass/Precision Bass)

    Lately I've been shopping online and I've been looking at Fender basses. I most definitely don't have enough money to blow on an American Standard. :spit: I've come across the Fender Standard Basses. (Particularly the Jazz and Precision models) The P-basses are only 580 bucks. :eyebrow...

    Four Different Ampeg SVT's

    So lately I've been comparing these four Ampeg SVT models. SVT-CL Heritage SVT-CL SVT-VR SVT450H I was wondering if anyone on TalkBass who has experience with any of these four amps could give me their opinion and/or answer some questions. I've heard that the heritage series...

    New to playing Electric Bass needs help choosing first instrument.

    I would go with a Squier Affinity Series Precision bass. If you have the extra money AND you're really serious about playing then go with a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. P-bass: $160 Vintage Modified Jazz Bass: $300 (my opinion, it's worth the extra money) A vintage modified (to...

    Markbass Super Synth or Soundblox Multiwave Pro Bass Distortion

    Thank you all for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm pretty sure I want to go with the Markbass SS because i have now learned that the MIDI is only for parameters. Also because the SA is a distortion pedal and I don't get my distortion from pedals; I get it from a very loud '68 Fender...

    Markbass Super Synth or Soundblox Multiwave Pro Bass Distortion

    I want to get one of these two pedals simply because I play keyboards and bass in a band (and yes this is Geddy Lee typing this) but the only dis-advantage to this is: I don't know my way around the keys as well as I do a 4-string bass. (Nahhh I'm not Geddy Lee) I would like to get Synthesizer...

    Should I buy a Squier Standard Jazz and mod it or just go for a Fender

    Go with the Squier. Fenders really are not what they used to be. They're really just riding on their name (much like Gibson is). In my opinion, if you buy a Fender, you're paying a couple hundred dollars more for a little decal on the head stock. A Squier is just as good as a brand new Fender...

    running 8 ohm speakers with a 4 ohm amp?

    4 ohm amp with 8 ohm speaker: not the best idea but it won't hurt anything. (If you have a tube amp it MAY wear out sed tubes faster than normal.) 8 ohm amp with 4 ohm speaker: Don't do it. That's the end of it. Some amps have different ohmage outputs and/or switches to reduce/raise the...

    2x10 or 1x15

    A 2x10 would have a lot more trebble and it would be a lot more rich sounding. I've learned that a real nice combo is a Musicman Stingray (maple neck) with a Mark Bass 2x10. Both pieces of equipment are really expensive. 15's have a much darker sound. Very deep. It all depends on what kind of...

    Hey, can anyone tell me what's up with these new 'modified' Squiers? They seem nice and considering they're more than a regular Squier, Maybe their better.
