    Firebird Pickup In A Bass

    Can't hurt to try, let us know what it sounds like if you do go that route. It's an interesting idea.

    Best Punk Bassist

    Although it makes me sad to see all hits Mark Hoppus has taken here, he's not the best, he's one of my favorite bassist's, but I'd have to say the best is Chris Barker (#2) from Anti-Flag Oh, Mike Dirnt sucks *******

    Boiling strings with food coloring

    as far as the food coloring idea, I have no idea whether it would work or not. But you're one of the first people I've seen on here that has a Hoppus Bass. (I have one to, Daphne Blue :D) But I was wondering if you have problems with a dead sounding E string? I don't know whether its a problem...

    Question about a cab.

    I know they're not the best, but I got them both for $150 bucks, almost too good to pass up.

    Cab Question

    My friends selling his PA speakers, I can get them for next to nothing, but Would I be able to use them as bass cabs? I don't know whether the bass head would hurt them or not. I'm running an Ashdown MAG 300, and the speakers are Kustom KPC215H 2x15's. Thanks

    Question about a cab.

    A friend of mine is updating his PA set up and is selling his speakers for next to nothing. (Kustom KPC215H 2x15's) But I was curious to know if it would hurt to use one (or both) as a bass cab. I have little experience with PA shat and I don't know if its gonna be any different that a regular...

    Look what showed up....Fender '75RI Lake Plaicid Blue, Pics inside

    Very nice, I love the guards on it, but I could never play with them on, so I had to decided between looking cool or sounding good, haha.

    Starting a band(HELP/vox/mic)

    just make sure if mix and match a PA, which may or may not be cheaper in the long run depending on what you get, that you buy a powered mixer. My band had a little problem with that....not fun.

    Ashdown or GK or Behringer head? (bottom-of-the-line)

    Like everyone else said here, under no circumstances should you buy behringer. I bought I combo amp of theres a few years ago and I regretted it pretty much everyday since. I have a friend that plays an Ashdown and absolutley loves it, but I've never used to GK, from what I hear though, a GK's...

    Reccomend me a bass!

    I personally wouldn't go anywhere near a musicman, partially just because I think they are the most overrated, overpriced, pieces of junk out there. I've never played a Gibson Thunderbird, but the cheaper Epiphone version is absolutley amazing for the price, so I'm assuming a Gibson would be...

    PA system help

    Hey Guys, a friend a mine just recently gave my band a mixer to use on our quest to get a functioning PA system. So we bought a speaker (Kustom KPC215 H 2x15) with another one the way as soon as we get the money. But we got the speaker today and went to test the mixer out, only to realize that...

    Do you have a "No Gigs - NO GAS" policy? (mini-rant)

    I definetely agree with that. I bought a new bass when I had a couple shows lined up, and now the shows have slowed up and I find it hard to spend the money on a head/cab etc. So I hope I get some more shows soon...I wanna buy more toys. :)

    single pickup, single knob

    It just depends on what you like, on my old bass I left the tone knob in one position the whole time, so the single volume knob is great for me, as the tone just got in the way. As for adjusting the tone, you just do it all through your amp. It just depends what you're into though. But as far as...

    Ashdown Mag 300 head

    I'm in the market for a cheaper head ($300-ish), and I was just wondering if the Mag 300 is a decent option. I've heard good things about them, but its always good to have more feedback. Thanks!

    Need to choose 1x10 Combo amp

    I've used Line 6 combos before, and they're the best combo's I've ever used. I'd go with Line 6 all the way.
