Typically I just wear the dumbest thing I can put together.

I fell into the pedal rabbit hole hard this year. I acquired: Mxr bass od, mxr bass octave, MXR bass chorus, Mxr bass compressor, Fuzzrocious bdpg, Fuzzrocious rat tail, Fuzzrocious demon king, tech 21 vt bass di, EQD dispatch master, EQD hummingbird, mxr phase 90, Aguilar octamizer, Malekko...

Funny, I was just looking around to see what I should try to sell my westone genesis II guitar for and I come upon this. Good luck with the sale, wish I could jump on this one myself!

I'm looking to record some bass. I will then email recordings back and forth between a drummer buddy of mine for a little fun recording project. I have no experience with recording, but I have a pretty good idea of what I need. I'm looking at either an interface like the focusrite 2i2 or a mixer...

I guess what I'm asking is what does a $700 Aguilar TH500 get me that a GK MB500 or Ampeg pf500 won't get me? Is the build quality that much better or the tone that much better? I understand comparing a Crate or Behringer to Ampeg SVT is stupid, but I'm more curious why the difference in the...

Another question I have I suppose, what does the tube pre really do? Does a hybrid with a tube pre (LH500, T-Max, MB Fusion) really have that much more oomph? I've looked at the Aguilar heads also, and they're definitely on my radar, but again the cost factor comes into play. Why should I buy a...

@SanDiegoHarry so is it more advisable to choose cabs first then head? My budget is roughly 300 for a head but Im not opposed to going to about 400 or so. For cabs, I'd like to keep it 250 per cab.

@Passinwind The GK MB Fusion 500 is a little more than I want to spend. Haven't seen many used pop up either. I have definitely taken a look at that one though. @5StringBlues I've heard the Peavey can hang with higher wattage heads (not sure whether that's an unsubstantiated claim or not)...

OK, so I've been using an Ampeg BA110 since I started playing bass a couple years ago. It's a pretty cool little amp, but has it's obvious limitations. I've been playing in a little stoner rock/ alternative drum and bass duo band for a while and we're ready to move out of the basement so to...

I've been lurking in this thread forever so I finally figured I would throw my hat in the ring so to speak. Lots of rad boards around here. This configuration won't last through the month of July I predict. Definitely going to be upping the size of the board. The dog bowl in the corner gives off...

I have a couple choruses (chori?) which I like OK, but not enough to keep on my board consistently. Love the way the EQD Sea Machine sounds, so I might pick one of those up eventually also.

I'm looking at getting one or two simple but maybe useful effects to supplement my board. I have the usual dirt (Fuzzrocious stache, rat tail, demon, BDPG), a digitech bass synth wah which I use for an envelope filter, angry robot sounds and sometimes an octaver, a compressor and a EQD dispatch...

The TAFM was another I wanted to try. Anyone with any experience with the terminal?

I have and LOVE my Fuzzrocious grey Stache. I really dig the sounds I get out of it and it sounds great in live band settings. That said, I recently acquired a Malekko B:assmaster and wow that thing sounds sweet. It's a very different flavor and I love it. I just don't like how much real...
