New to bass. Looking for a smaller practice amp. Lightweight and cheap. Loud enough for the rehearsal room. Recommendations? Thanks,

Thanks. My old one worked. Cheers.

Hello, I am trying to build a Fender Jazz Bass. Squire body, really nice AllParts Birds Eye Maple neck. Hipshot Tuning Pegs. EMG active pick-ups. My current issues : It Buzzes. My Hipshot Xtender doesn't work as promised. Any advice on fixing the ground issue? Also, could anyone recommend a...

Hello, I am considering picking up a Shuttle 6.0 head. I borrowed one from my local music shop and tried it out at a show last night. First off a have to say I love the sound & size of this head. During our last song I started to notice a funny smell coming from the amp (like plastic...
