I have a question about cases. The ones I have are wearing out so i thought I would see what the latest and greatest is in your opinions. I really like those cases that are soft shelled, yet have the sturdiness of a hard case. I don’t know what those are called. My guitar player got his with...

A Fender Rumble 350. I got a buzz that wouldn't go away when I ran direct and was told by a tech that the circuit board was fried. He said the biggest culprit was not engaging the -db limiter but also said that the line out volume was connected to the main volume as opposed to having a...

I agree. I just never had an inactive bass before. The one I use for a few songs is an $89 Squier so I am not sure I should base any opinions off of that. I have my eyes on a new Jackson that I understood to be passive, but the dealer here in town told me it is both with a switch to toggle...

Yeah, I learned the hard way a while ago about why that db cut exists on an amp. $700 later, I had a new amp setup.

The two basses I own have active EMG pickups. I love my sound from them. When my band plays songs that require a tune-down, I play my guitar player's Squier. This is a one pickup, passive bass. I know I am not playing the best instrument in the world there, but the sound is much quieter. I...

I started on trombone which taught me to read bass clef (not something I have had a lot of practice with in the 25 years since high school). I started bass guitar and played in a lot of pit orchestras and the like in school. The first bass my parents got me was a Yamaha Attitude (Billy Sheehan...

Do you find that a rack-mounted tuner is better than a pedal tuner? I am on the fence with Snark tuners just because they tend to not want to cooperate all the time with my B striung unless I position them just so. While my pedalboard is on the fritz and I look for different solutions, I have...

Funny I didn't see it in the owner's manual before you mentioned it, but there it is! Thank you. I kinda assumed this would be the reason but I thought I would check.

I actually don't have a power conditioner at the moment. I had problems with the board in the past and had it taken in for a $100 fix to the circuit board. I was told the malfunction may be due to power overload coming from my active basses, but I have friends that play active basses on newer...

This is my first post here, so I hope I put this issue in the correct forum. I have been playing bass since I was 14 years old (I am 42 now). Until this past December, I have always just used combo amps. I am now playing through a Gallien-Kreuger 700RB-II and a GK Neo 4x10 cab. I think my...
