Thanks for the info everyone! Right now, I'm thinking either an Eden 4x10 (XLT are supposed to be nice) or a gk Neo 2x12, based on what some people here and what some people I talked to IRL said. I'm going to go to guitar center and see what I can try out today. Wish me luck!

Who knows man. It sounds blown to me, but the RMC fella said he's run into this issue a few times and that it's not a blown speaker, some other mechanical issue that needs a repair. But it's not like he looked at it. I think I'm going to just return the cab and do a bit of shopping around. I...

I'm just constantly worried about blowing it since the GK is much hotter than the HA3500 I was using before. Plus I'll be returning/exchanging the GK so I'll have some cash. The hartke is actually on craigslist at the moment, but I haven't had much movement so it could be an option if voltages...

Interesting, I found that the boost muddied my tone and added too much boom, but it could also be the room that I'm playing in or a million other factors. That's 2 votes for sticking with the GK. Anyone else? Side note: gear buying is such a bitch...I can't try any of this **** out at my...

There's no way dude, volume was at 12 oclock, contour at 12 (edit: 9 actually, just checked), boost all the way off, bass cut in the EQ. I don't think any one person's experience means much anyways, mine or yours...sh#t happens. I take it you don't have any recommendations beyond exchanging...

Hey guys! So I recently bought a GK 1001 RB II and a GK Neo 410 cab from RMC audio on the cheap. Neat! I wasn't initially sure if I liked the cab (I found it boomy and a bit sterile) but I was able to dial some settings on my bass/pedalboard/head and I got it to a place where I think it sounds...

I'm having a bit of an identity crisis here. I recently bought a Spector Coda 5 Deluxe, and it's a fantastic bass. The sound and feel are amazing and I really enjoy playing it. But I'm not sure if 5's are right for me. I've had it for a few months, and I'm to the point where I can play just...

You might not need to play 64th notes at any point, but if you can listen to a 50/60 bpm metronome and play those 64th notes in time, that's great subdividing practice. It will help your ability to keep time in general and make you a more solid player rhythmically.

That was actually me that got it! It's in route via Fedex now. I'll be a member soon enough, I promise!

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I didn't know there was so much out there. I'm kind of leaning towards that coda5 but there's so much to choose from! I'll let you guys know what i wind up with :)

whoa....that looks pretty badass! I looked at the mike lulls but I'm not sure I could find one near me? I guess basscentral probably ships it. Good stuff guys, still like to see if anyone else has some ideas though :D

A little background...right now I have a 4 string stingray HH, which I love, but I've been hearing some beautiful tones out of some jazz basses (particularly a guy in a band i like plays a geddy lee, but they don't make it in a 5), and I also am looking for a 5 string, so that's why I decided to...

Cool, so maybe I set it up to follow the curvature without even knowing it. I didn't think about it that way, i did measure each string from the fret so that makes sense. I appreciate the input :)

Hi all, I've gotten some conflicting information about setting up a bass. Some guides say that the action on each string should follow the curvature of the fretboard (like the jerzy drozd guide in the sticky). Other guides (like the lakland videos in the sticky) have said to do it differently...

Is he? I thought he was just using 2 fingers (which would probably be more difficult but it is Flea...)
