I'm thinking about getting a replacement tailpiece and bridge for it. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with changing these parts out on one of these basses? Also, I may replace the nut, it seems a bit high and could probably be lowered/replaced Lastly, does anyone know of a...

Hey all, just recently traded for this bass, and though it is the first day, I'm really happy with it already. The pickups sound great plugged in. I'm now working on getting it set up well, I think a minor neck angle adjustment will do. It seems like a previous owner at some point changed...

Also, I would like to make the observation here that the tone everyone seeks is a matter of finding out what you can get away with. How much do I need to push my tubes for this sound? Can I get away w/ that? Can I put this much more bass or treble on the eq w/o ruining the balance of the...

thank you, glad to hear from someone else it sounds great, to stop from feeling like ive gone crazy. for anyone curious about how it does sound, this sound clip is a good indicator I think, of course headphones or computer speakers are nothing compared to real life, but what the hell [Invalid...

No, I'm not winding you up. I'm not an expert when it comes to cabs and speakers, but I've done my fair share of research, and playing. Believe me, I know what sounds good. My current set-up would probably sound very bad for other band situations. And yes, that part that sounds good could...

that's gonna be one heavy 4 12 cab. if it's 2 x 15 i can imagine it sounding pretty good. but I tend to really like bass rigs that sounds just a little like they've got some guitar in em (ex: my bassman rig being used for bass) Still, it seems absurd to me to spend time and money for looks...

I believe it's the larger cab. I'll have to measure when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it's the larger.

Really, I'm not in need of an SVT. I don't need loud and deep. I'm not in a metal band or anything. The drop C on the E string is one song, and it's really a pretty relaxing tune. As far as loudness goes. The amp is easily loud enough for rehearsals and stage volume. Venues larger than that...

Ok thanks for the suggestions everyone, but the tone and power being provided is really perfect for what I do. It really is more of a guitar amp. But can deliver some really great tone for the music my band makes. I don't need the loudest amp in the world, or a new one. Does anyone...

Ok I see, well at this point it's been modded and brought up to maybe nearer 65 tube watts. Regardless, the power has always been enough, and a bit of a push is a sound I've been enjoying. I'm really not after the "perfect bass tone". I play in a three piece and so far it's nice. But if the...

Hi, I've been looking around quite a bit on the forums but I'm finding differing answers to my question > I have a Bassman 50 Silverface head and a matching 2 x 15 cab. Speakers are original. I play w/ a P Bass, and occasionally use a russian big muff. First of all, I absolutely love the tone...
