    a clueless beginner

    String Lube: Good Idea, or Bad Idea?

    I find it useful on basses with rounds where the strings are still in good shape but the bass has been sitting unused in the case for months or years.

    The one that got away.

    This post gives me peace as to why I haven't sold any of my previous #1's that I no longer play. I will use this logic with my spouse as to why I...

    The one that got away.

    My heavily modified '81 ric 4003 I learned on. Was stolen in late 80's and I'm still searching ebay and reverb hoping I can buy it back someday.

    Tube stacking: I’m guilty

    I have one too and now my boogie 400+ collects dust. I can't see playing though anything else other than having a small head as a backup.

    What is difference in sound of a 212 cab, and two 112s?

    If you are considering 1 112 maybe take a look at the BBC 112 tank. It is 4ohm and LOUD!!! It's all I use no matter the size of the gig. I have...

    Doctor's appointment at 4...can't practice at 6!

    Small Amp

    Another vote for the ampeg 108 or 110. I love the tone of these amps at home practice or at a small jam. They also have a input for tunes to...

    Ampeg PF 500 - Still fizzling out?
