    ISP Decimator problems

    Wow! I did not know that. So is the answer: Buy quality cables, install a Decimator or G-String, and stay away from appliances?

    ISP Decimator problems

    Hahaha!! Mustard, ketchup & cheese on mine! Lol! No, what my question is, The Decimator gets rid of hiss & hum. But so do George L's. Is one way better than the other? My guess would be that filling your board with high quality cables is the "proper but expensive" route, and the Decimator would...

    $$$Bass w/ $Amp? or $$$Amp w/ $Bass?

    Thanks everyone for all of the great advice. It really helped out a lot! So here's what I ended up doing: I bought a 2012 Fender Precision Bass (left-handed, sunburst) for $1,200.00, I threw on some Rotosound roundwounds, and an Ampeg microstack cl for $300.00. It sounds friggin' amazing...

    Pedal Pad MPS - Is it any good?

    Pedal Pad MPS - Is it any good?

    I'm getting My MPS XL (powered) today. Who cares about the weight!? Man up, save up, and own quality equipment! There's nothing better than looking at your gear and saying, Holy crap! I love my Bass Rig! And it's impressive too!

    $$$Bass w/ $Amp? or $$$Amp w/ $Bass?

    Right now, I have no Bass or Amp. But I DO have $1,500.00. So my question is: Do I spend the lion's share on a better Bass and then get a cheap amp? Do I go 50/50 on both? Or do I get a rockin' amp and a $100-$500 Bass? Thanks in advance!
