    I think I don't like my Jazz Bass anymore...

    Don’t feel bad. I had a very similar experience. My first “nice” bass was a Jazz. Payed for some upgrades. Tried the flats as well. Using the neck pickup only helped. Then I played a Precision and realized the Jazz sound wasn’t really for me. I sold it to someone who really loved it, which made...

    Tips for starting out on fretless?

    I know this post is a few years old but I just read through it myself because I just bought my first fretless too. Great tips. I’m mostly using mine as a travel/practice bass. Although I tend to play with a more fat bass muted sound, turning the treble up helps me hear the intonation a lot...

    If you can only one pedal to a gig/recording; Which one do you take?

    Source Audio C4 Dead on Arrival?

    I just did. I did exactly what the user guide suggested, both the manual reset technique and desktop reset using USB cable. The desktop reset said it was “successful” but unfortunately it didn’t change anything.

    Source Audio C4 Dead on Arrival?

    I just bought one used (mint) on Reverb. It arrived today. Original box, packaging, adapter, phone cable and instruction card. Same issue. Only a clean/dry sound with no effect or preset sounds. Green bypass light comes on only when SA adapter is first plugged in. The smaller light blinks for a...
