    If you were to start today, what would be the first 5 vinyls you would buy?

    Jeez, tough one, vinyl is my thing, been collecting for a long time. I'd need some variety for this one: Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby D.R. Hooker - The Truth Lee Moses - Time and Place Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

    Returning to Bass After a Break – What's Changed?

    I'm kind of there with you, left my old band in 2014 and just rejoined earlier this year, was a nice hiatus but I'm excited to be back at it. My bass did not change, but I used to use an all tube Orange AD200B and a 115 cab and really had gotten sick of dragging that weight around. Now I have a...

    Show me your compact pedalboard setup

    Just dusted off my old pedal board from a decade ago with an almost total refresh. Waiting to get some some appropriate cables to get it all wired up, since the 6" ones I have are too short to get it laid out the way I want it. Used to have an IE Oxide with a Phase 90 which I regrettably sold...

    3Leaf Doom 2 differences

    Apologies if this has been covered, I could not find an initial answer. I'm thinking about trying to pick up a Doom 2 and noticed that some versions have "bass/clean & You're/Your" switches while others (newer?) have "X-over / Your" switches instead. Curious if anyone could explain the...

    Best Mesa-Boogie Bass heads

    After trying both the D-800+ and WD800 I kept the WD800 for one main reason. Since it has a tube in the pre, you can jack up the input to drive it harder and then use the master to control volume. I feel like it does a nice job of adding a bit of tube grit and warmth, want a cleaner sounds, back...

    Vintage clay side dotes are terrible for gigs

    Watching this since I have a vintage P coming my way soon and realized this is going to be an issue. I’ve played a ‘68 Jazz as my main (and only bass) for ages and it has binding with black dots, so the contrast is perfect on even the darkest stages.

    Do Flatwounds die?

    My roundwounds are around 15 years old and still kicking, they're basically flats at this point.... I'm terrified at having to change them!

    Fender Jazz bass 1968

    That's how my '68 is, it's definitely built from parts laying around, Lollipop tuners, button on the back and earlier logo. Best playing bass I've owned.

    Does it make a difference which DAW to send tracks to studios?

    In your situation, 100% no need for Protools, Wav files are all you need, just make sure to send out as stems, so export from the beginning of the project regardless of how much dead space there might be.

    I have some soldering 101 questions

    Just to add, especially if you do a lot of soldering. Get a brass sponge soldering tip cleaner, you just stab it a few times with the tip. Using a wet sponge cools the iron down and then you need to let it come up to temperature, which can throw off your groove:)

    Iron Ether Appreciation Society

    I miss my Oxide dearly. I sold mine when I left my band 10 years ago and I just rejoined them after all that time. Does anyone know of a fuzz pedal that gets anywhere close to the oxide? Hoping one comes up for sale at some point!
