    cab for VOX foundation bass

    Hi guys! I got myself this VOX bass head, and I would like to make a custom box for it (original one is with two 15" and heavy as hell), if possible - with one 12", or 15" but strong and loud speaker. I want it to be as light as can be, still good enough to handle 200w - as rated on amp, and...

    Roland Cube 60 guitar amp for bass?

    Simple question, can I use this Roland Cube (60w) guitar amp for bass guitar? I can get it cheap, and I need small amp for traveling... I've tried it, and it sounds good, but can I do any harm to it, since - there is a bass cube (eureka)?

    Trouble with Pyramid Strings/ Hofner Icon

    It is the gauge problem, I assume... THe feel of the Pyramid Gold's is incredible, but they are just too boomy, and the E string on both sets I've tried was sustainless as piece of rope... I use Chromes, and they are "singers". Also tried Thomastik - great strings. There are always Hofner...

    Identify this Fender bass head, please

    I can't find this one anywhere on the web (via google). It would be quite expensive for me to call California from E.Europe... Owner would give it for 130 euros... 160$ app. I will be in his town on a gig in 2 weeks... and if it's still there, I'll take a look. Do you think that this (if...

    (For Hofner experts) Is this the real deal?!

    Thanks guys, for your quick reply... It's price is 600 euros, so it's not like THE deal of decade, but it's still almost 3 times cheaper than the new one... I'll buy it, if it works well and have no hidden faults... Thanks again...

    (For Hofner experts) Is this the real deal?!

    Hi guys, This guitar is for sale in my town, but I was suspicious about it's origins... specialy for logo. I can see that the teacup knobs are new (because of color), and that the tuners are Fender-like, pickups seems fine, binding also, tailpiece could be good... but I've never seen such...

    Does older wood really sound better? and how long does it take?

    If the guitar is played and maintained carefuly for 30-40 years, and still works perfectly... it is something you can rely on... and it's obviusly a good piece of wood... the years will tell... Thats why we all love Fenders so much... plain and simple... and always ready to play...

    Right-handed player playing reverse (left-handed)?!

    For a very particular reason, I want to learn to play bass like a lefty... and I'm righthanded... Sure it sounds odd, but I guess there are lefthanded people who learned to play righthanded basses with their opposite hand... (they often write with their right hand, so...) One of my basses is...

    What are pickup covers for?

    I'm thinking of pulling my PU covers out, since they can't be synhronised... neck cover is way to hotter... than again, maybe I could install a fan, or maybe active 3band airconditioner... I can't decide...

    Beatle bass?

    This statement have nothing to do with bass playing! I have both German Hofner and Icon B-bass... german hofner is better crafted, but chinese one is THE REAL VIOLIN BASS... sounds just as it should, and plays fantastic... + it looks good! So, i could say... GO FOR IT! It's about 5 times...

    Lead Singer/Guitarists vs Lead Singer/Bassists

    McCartney was the first to put a bass line in-line with melody... singin' and groovin'! And what a singing... It is always interesting when you deal with the melody & bassline in the same head :) I never realy liked singers who can't play any instrument... than again, can't understand the...
