    Good Compromise String

    What is a string that's somewhere in between XL Chrome Flats and EB Slinkys? I didn't like the ultra-bright rounds that I couldn't get much bottom end out of, so I switched to the Chrome Flats, which are great for some of the songs we do, but are too thumpy and flabby for some other songs. I...

    Smaller Cab with 810 tone?

    Im sorry, i wasnt real specific. Im looking for something significantly smaller than the 810 for practice, not to replace it. Do the ampeg 210s sound like 810s? Other than volume of course.

    Smaller Cab with 810 tone?

    I am looking for a smaller cab that has similar tonal quantities to the 810svt. I play a 96 svt810 at shows, but our practice space is in a basement, and i would like a cab to leave downstairs. Also, we are going to be recording live in the studio in a few months, and im afraid the 810 might be...

    Gk 700rbii Usable Preamp Range

    Man hitting that pad and rolling the pre up to 11 made a huge difference! Really woke the rig up. Before at 8, the rig was lifeless with no bottom end, and a very dead tone, now i get all the life i wanted with the eq neutral! Thanks guys!

    Gk 700rbii Usable Preamp Range

    I think my complaint is when I run the head below 25%, maybe in my practice room i'm not pushing enough power to that cab to wake it up?

    Gk 700rbii Usable Preamp Range

    I can definitely get loud enough, but then I start to cover up guitars. When I get back to a reasonable volume, I just don't blend well.

    Gk 700rbii Usable Preamp Range

    Maybe my basses are too hot? They are running Model J's. If I hit a string hard, the clip light flashes.

    Gk 700rbii Usable Preamp Range

    Hey gang, im running my gk700rbii into a 90s svt810. I complain some about cutting through the mix, and some about a hollow, weak bottom end. What my question is, is how high can you run the preamp level before it becomes unusable? Anything above about 25% gets pretty overdriven on mine.

    ebay.. my luck ran out. Advice needed

    If I had sold it, I would not offer a partial refund. If you like it, keep it, if you don't like it, send it back. If someone complained that they were unhappy with condition but wouldn't send it back, then that's on them. I would rather resell it than risk giving cash to a scammer, that way...

    Hollow, Bonky E String

    Hey gang, I have a complaint about my mim j. I have never been real stoked on the bass, there Is a massive dead spot on the 5th and 6th fret on g that totally chokes the note out. Well a few months ago I put DA Chrome Flats on it, and I've started noticing lately, my low E string is tubby and...

    Peavey VB-2 vs. SVT

    Now, I'm not asking which is better, I'm simply asking how the VB-2 COMPARES to the SVT CL. Does anybody with a VB-2 or experience with one care to chime in?
