the insurance requested that he return the bass to Ibanez. After 3 weeks they replaced his bass with a brand new one :D However, they never did tell us what was wrong :hmm: O well, New Basses are always good :hyper:

Help I just purchased an Eden World tour pedal. I love the sound and the only complaint about the box itself is the super bright blue LED. I run it directly to a splitter and then a stereo power amp for a bi-amp set up. Here is my problem. I feed the FOH from the Eden as a direct...

As both a bassist and and sound tech I have seen a huge variety of placements. The single item that I beleive to be the most important is distance. I have seen lots of bass players with a 1000w blowing directly at their knees tell me that they cannot hear. Their pants are flapping and the house...
