I don't know if this is the place to ask this question but here goes anyway. I've noticed "agedhorse" is on this thread so I'll query him and anyone else. My Walkabout Scout combo has been a steady gig companion for over 10 years. I've recently noticed that there is a wierd crackle noise...

Bump on this thread. I've got the same problem with an SR405EQM. I would love to learn what the tech found in the "loose wiring."

Bump. This is an old listing. Has it sold?

I have multiple basses for multiple "colors" of tones: 5 string MTD with round wound strings is my main gigging instrument. Not too expensive to take to a gig. 5 string MTD with flat wound strings as a backup gigging instrument...as backup and for that flatwound sound during a gig. 5 string...

Checking s/n with police to make sure item isn't stolen is standard practice when trading in items with music stores. In California, a used item in a music store taken in on trade is routinely kept for a period of time to clear "police hold" period to see if the s/n is reported stolen. I agree...

I just sent you a PM.

I've searched for an equivalent double bass sound for a while in a bass-guitar type instrument. The best ones I have found are: EBR3-N5F Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar, 5-string Fretless – Boulder Creek Guitars I use tapewound strings on the above instrument. and M-Bass25FL 25-Inch Scale...

. If your willing to trade for a ShuttleMax 6.0, PM me.

Bring 2 of everything. Basses, cables, amps, straps, picks, tuners, songlists, etc. If you do, then you can avoid "stink eye" (Hawaiian term) from your bandmates if your gear breaks and you DON'T have a backup.

I thought I'd post my fix to my Line6 Bass Pod XT (the one shaped like a bean) that I acquired used. Under Windows 10 and via USB, I did a firmware update and a flash memory update to the latest versions and after the updates, the Select Page, Effect Tweak, Amp Models, and Effects rotary...

I'm a fan of 19mm string spacing and somewhat compact body styles. I've settled on MTDs. My main axe is a Z5 and my backup is an Heir. All have 19mm string spacing. I'm told some of the import Lakland's (55-01) also have 19mm string spacing. Good luck.

I believe tone is in your ears, your fingers, and in your head/heart. All of these things will manipulate the rig (the instrument and the amplifier and its settings) to suit what you in your head deem is the correct tone as communicated by your ears. If I were to pick up Paul McCartney's...

Hey TBers, I'm about ready to embark on my qty 2 ea Fearful 12/6 Cube build. I plan on building my own CBG crossovers for the Alpha Neo mid but I'm at a loss as to where to best mount it. Suggestions?

Go to markrepairsguitars.com. Owner is Mark Brown, former guitar tech for the Doobie Brothers. Shop is in Campbell. I think he does work in Santa Cruz also. Amazing work....and a real nice guy.
