    La Bella DT54 Down Tune Strings?

    Hey TB Gang I'm looking for anybody who's used these strings before. User information here and on the web seems limited. My band recently converted to playing tunes in a full step down, so I need to make an adjustment. I'm considering these strings because through the small amount of...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hey guys, So I double checked the speakers... still no signs of physical damage. I took Linnin and ubernator's advice and pressed down on the speakers to check for rubbing or scraping .. nothing there. I did notice though, that the top speaker moves with a little bit less tension or...

    Fender Rumble Club

    A visual inspection of the speakers doesn't seem to indicate any physical damage or anything that looks abnormal to my eyes. Should I be doing anything else to check? Also yes I am a member of the rumble club. It's in my sig but I don't think those show on mobile? Thanks for the advice (you...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Good questions. I both active and passive basses. I adjust the volume/gain controls between the two as needed. I don't use pedals. A couple of weeks ago I goofed around with a Way Huge Swollen Pickle t practice (that sounded so wrong) before deciding I don't really care for it much and haven't...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hey fellow rumblers, I'm looking for some help here with an issue I'm having - I've had the V3 Rumble 500 combo for about 3-4 months now and up until a week or two ago things were going fine. I really.. REALLY love this combo. Intermittently on low notes, and sometimes when multiple strings...

    Geezer Butler signature pick ups

    Hey everyone, posted this in another thread here but haven't received any replies. Figured this might be the place to try, too. I recently bought a Fender Sea Foam Pearl P/J special. I have some extra gift cards for GC (I know, I know) laying around and I'm considering picking up the Geezer P/J...

    Fender deluxe PJ smokes MIA imo

    Has anybody swapped the stock pickups in this bass with EMG's Geezer PJ set? I just bought this bass a few days ago and I'm contemplating doing that myself. I really like the sound of the EMG Geezers from what I've heard online. The stock pickups seem to get the job done, though the jazz pickup...

    Fender Rumble Club

    So I finally gave in and purchased a Rumble 500w 2x10 combo. I have to wait for it to be delivered :( But in the meantime, I think I'll join the club! Sign me up!

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hi All, Question for the rumble club (with a little background first): I'm not a member of the Rumble Club yet, but considering becoming one soon :) I've been eyeballing the Fender Rumble 500w 2x10 combo for a little bit. The backstory: I have a large hartke 4x10 cabinet and a couple of Amp...

    SOLD Pickups and Preamps!

    Hello, Are the emg 40hz's for sale still? I'm not really interested in the toneamp, but am interested in the pickup set if you're willing to separate and if they're still available, of course. Thanks!

    Will shielding help me?

    So I took the bass to practice last night and the buzzing was much less noticeable than it was in my 2nd floor apartment. Maybe something to do with the power in my apartment? I have a question about grounding the bridge and strings with this bass. This bass doesn't really have a singular...

    Will shielding help me?

    Hey guys, Found plenty of resource on the boards using the search tool but what I'm really looking is just a confirmation or further insight. The story: I bought a used peavey grind for a pretty good price of $150. Making the deal even sweeter (for me at least, since I like active basses) is...

    Peavey Grind Question

    Good info here. Thanks guys! I guess it's safe to say that the peavey grind NTB I bought for $150 was modded, since they never came with active electronics stock. I guess now it's just a matter of getting it home and opening it up to have a look. The electronics sounded fine in the store...
