    Converting an Acoustic Guitar to a Bluetooth Speaker+ Fretless Bass

    Here is a link with the audio boosted. I didn't realize it was so quiet.

    Converting an Acoustic Guitar to a Bluetooth Speaker+ Fretless Bass

    Check out this video and let me know what you think. I converted an old acoustic into bluetooth speaker. I have done it a few times now but this is the best sounding one so far. Also I just got back into fretless, haven't played it in a few years. Sorry if the intonation is a bit sloppy. Thanks...

    Building a 2x10

    OP where are you located? I might have an empty 210 cab, with crossover and tweeter already installed. Just would need two speakers.

    Help me spend some money!

    The rumbles are nice and light, but they seem a bit scooped and I don't think they have a tweeter. Does anyone have any feedback on a BFM simplex 12 build or the Hartke HD112 cab? I think I want to keep the LH500 head.

    Help me spend some money!

    I am looking to make a change with my bass gear. I currently have a Hartke LH500, (which I really like) hooked up to a GK mbx410. I also have a GK Mb210 but I use it for electronic drums, I did not really care for it with my basses. The 4x10 takes up too much space and weighs about 100lbs. I am...

    Do any octave pedals offer an octave up rather than down?

    Amazon.com: BEHRINGER ULTRA SHIFTER/HARMONIST US600: Musical Instruments With some distortion it is pretty good, it sounds similar to the Pitchfork in the video clip above. For $50 it is hard to beat.

    New Bass, Great Wife

    Left handed Hadean Uke from Rondo. I suspect the strings are pretty old, the turnover on lefty Uke basses is probably pretty low.

    New Bass, Great Wife

    A few weeks ago I was reminded how great my wife is. I was lifting weights in our basement, music blasting and wife upstairs on the phone. I had 245lbs on the bar. I was trying to get one or two more reps on the bench when I felt a tearing sensation in my chest. I immediately put the weight...

    Schecter Truss Rod Issues Eastern Ohio\Western PA HELP!!!

    I have a Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 string. It is about 10 years old now. I was feeling nostalgic so I dug it out of the closet to play. It has always had pretty low action to the point where I would get fret buzz on the first frets if I dug in, but now the action is high. I check the bridge...

    Hartke Help!!!

    I have a Hartke LH500 Amp, probably about 5 or 6 years old. Just recently the passive input jack started being very finicky and would not produce sound unless the cable was placed perfectly. Active input works fine. Most people would say "just use the active" but this will drive me crazy. So I...

    Amp rebuild for a student

    I am giving lessons to a 7 year old little guy. He is awesome, super enthusiastic and always practices. Currently he is using a small acoustic guitar amp with a six inch speaker. I remembered that I left a washburn Bad Dog 30 bass amp at my parents house, so I decided to see if I can dig it up...

    Jack 12 Help

    Thanks, I think I may have read that before at some point. I have been toying with the idea of building a jack for a long time, just have not been able to hear one.

    Jack 12 Help

    I realize the BFM forum is probably the best place to answer my questions but for some reason I cannot login over there. I am interested in replacing my GK MBX410 with a BFM jack 12. I just wanted a little background info before taking the plunge. Will my amp (Hartke LH500) have a versatile...
