"PUNCH" was THE TERM That DESCRIBED IF you could FEEL the BASS HIT YOU in the chest while standing in front of the stage! This was a 60's early 70's term that was LONG BEFOE Bass amps were ran through a PA System! In other words the BASS AMP had to STAND for It's SELF without any help! I would...

BUT "Little League Players" Do NOT go out and Take PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS JOBS, Either!!!! BUT!!! Little League Players DON'T go OUT and TAKE Jobs away from PROFESSIONAL Players, until they MATURE!

Do what Everybody DID years before you were born! START at the BOTTOM and CLIMB the ladder!!

NOT ONLY a P Bass, BUT a P BASS with Medium to HEAVY gauge strings! The P bass delivers the most Fullest, Clearest, Precise and deepest sonic sound you could ever want when recording to ANALOG TAPE! IF you have NEVER recorded with a P Bass especially to ANALOG TAPE, then you have NO idea! Having...

Really shouldn't have But for $40.00 I HAD TO!! Best I can tell you after playing with the FUZZMO is that it is VERY MUCH like my MXR EL GRANDE. It IS a little bit MORE controllable than my El Grande ( which IS a GOOD thing ) however it just seems to lack that "little Bite" that the MXR has. It...

Just saw the video's on this NEW BASS FUZZ! I'm Lovin' what I'm hearin'!! Might have to pull the trigger on this one! If anyone HAS ALREADY, Please, let's hear about what you think!!! Inquiring Minds want to know!! The FUZZ GAZER by Stacks FX! It seems to do everything I've been looking for...

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS, INTRODUCE your band members! The audience REALLY DOES CARE!! They also like to know WHERE each member is from! IF you expect to go over AND you are PROUD of the work you ALL have put into the band, I highly suggest you take a few seconds and introduce yourselves!! After...

I AGREE!! Go with an AMPEG Cab, the older the better! Go with 2x 15's IF you are looking for THUNDER, GO with 4x10's IF You prefer to be HEARD CLEARLY! STAY AWAY from 12 inch speakers! For those of you that prefer 12's, that's fine! HOWEVER, go stand in the BACK of a club and see what the...

Certainly there are many factors which contribute to a GREAT Sounding BASS Cabinet, but I have found after almost 50 years of using almost every Bass CAB created, the ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR that the better sounding cabinets have is, THE Thickness of the wood AND the DEPTH of the cabinet. Yes...

YES, TheLowDown33 is RIGHT ON, Another vote for the Earthquaker Dispatch Master! Gives you great verb AND also Delay (use seperate OR together)! Both VERY GOOD Together, many have yet come to realize the CLOSE RELATIONSHIP between the two! Replaced 2 pedals with the Dispatch Master and the sound...

I AGREE with Basshappi! IF you have to ask that question than you are NOT there yet!! To be a PROFESSIONAL at anything you must make a serious (Lifetime) Commitment with complete DEDICATION! Doing ALL these things takes a deep amount of PASSION & LOVE of what it is you are as a PROFESSIONAL...

Having traveled in the 70's with backing bands for many of the well known Soul/Funk bands out of Phila., I can tell you pretty much what cuts the sounds you will need. 3 basic pedals, First I run into an MXR Phase 90, then into an MXR Stereo Chorus and then into ( I have recently switched to )...

OK, I'll bet you are Playing IN YOUR BARE FEET!!! Though playing in your bare feet is something that I've noticed is now a very popular thing to do ( GOD only knows WHY???? ), You are risking your life doing so, put on some shoes and get your entire pedal board checked out ( preferably by...

I agree with you jazznric, I have too found that running my OC2 & Tenderer Octave ( the original small one ) sound really good following (after) my Carcosa Fuzz pedal. I run the Fuzz 1st in line immediately after my Mooer Baby Tuner then into OC2 then into Mooer Octaver. I have been noticing...

VERY SAD news to find out about!! Pro Guitar Shop is one of the REALLY GOOD GUYS out there!! They not only offered you an EDUCATION about new products in a friendly way but also were a CLASS ACT which I will greatly miss! I have purchased a few pedals from them and always felt total confidence...
