    New music on Myspace!

    This doesn't really belong on this forum since most of the music are solo geetar, but fear not! It is a 30" 8 string guitar tuned down to E, so you can look at it as a kind of weird short-scale bass! :) The reason I am posting it here is because I am really a bass player and I am using this...

    Avatar 410 neo vs. Ampeg SVT 410HLF: Help!

    I forgot to mention that I own a Avatar and uses a ampeg 410hlf at our rehearsalspace. To me that is two different worlds! I belong in Avatarland. When all comes down to it, it depends on your own preferences. What kind of sound are you after? What amp is gonna power it? What kind of music are...

    Avatar 410 neo vs. Ampeg SVT 410HLF: Help!

    IMO, the Avatar sounds fuller, richer and more powerful AND is cheaper. The only "advantage" I can see in the Ampeg is the muddy rock tone that you wont get from the Avatar.

    Amp / Cab slight mismatch HELP

    I do not know much about this, but I think it will only be a problem if you either play at very high volumes or use a lot of distortion of some sort.

    MTD Kingston Z6 Drop In Replacement Pickups

    Delano or Nordstrand pickups. Glockenklang preamp. Or maybe Nordstrand preamp. Delano preamps look nice too!

    Soap Bar pickups - any ideas?

    I like bartolini for heavy sounds, but if you are going for a little more versatile sound I can recommend Nordstrand and Delano.

    Avatar Owners Club

    I played a concert with my 210 and 212 neo cabs for the first time last night. They sounded great. We play some funky pop music, and the cabs suited that genre perfectly. A massive wall of sound with a lot of clarity on the low B. We played really loud, but the cabs did not show any sign of...

    The Official Show-Your-Basses Thread Episode 6 (The Undiscovered Country)

    I wish I could say I could play one, but I don´t. I have used it for some easy laidback standardtunes with only stick and vocals. It sounds absolutely great in that context. I have also used it in some experimental metal music. Here is a old photo of my "power trio" Chaos. I play bass, stick and...

    "OFFICIAL" SWR Mo' Bass Club

    The headroom in the internal amp idea makes sense. The synth effect has a noticeable higher output than any other effect in the unit. I do not believe the lack of volume will be a problem, but I am always a little worried when I have to turn the amp up to eight or more.
