    Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 (2020)

    Just my opinion(everybody has one)Roger is a Master Luthier who's been in this industry for quite some time. Also has made some "Amazing" instruments. He's proven over and over again to be a man of great integrity. I for one won"t believe that he would risk his brand after over 30+ years...

    How do I get our Bass Player to play bass like a Bass Player?

    Since you can play bass, ask the bass player to use his bass to show him the parts you need him to play. You can also find out if your drummer has a solid foundation or just plays jerky jerky because a solid drummer will make a bass player play what he's supposed to play. Just my thoughts.

    NCD Hartke 112b(

    using this cab for last 20 gigs and its doing a remarkable job. I've used several basses (music man,yamaha,sire,spector and Ibanez) this cab produces such a pleasing tight sound with lots of bottom and high end which was a shocker because there's no tweeter. I'm buying another to have as a...

    Fix or replace?

    Hi, if its a jazz or pj then I would just order an Audere jz3 pre-amp(comes with new pots and all active components) since you mentioned ur not happy with the electronics and the output is pretty low which was maybe caused by previous owner trying to make a bass with active pickups passive...
