    Can the Bass Ever Be Too Loud?

    I had some of the custom ACS molds. I lost one the day before this show.

    Can the Bass Ever Be Too Loud?

    I think yes. I am listening to some recordings of our last show and I feel like I am WAY too loud. Granted, this was taken on an Iphone so that may be why it sounds strange. However I still think a little less juice from my amp would have benefited the overall sound. It is just very difficult...

    hartke LH500 on the way :)

    I have the LH1000 and I think it is alright. This thing has NO mids to speak of, which may or may not be a bad thing for you. I just find myself getting lost in the mix when I use certain pedals that also scoop my sound slightly. It is a very loud, very clean amp that is a fantastic platform...

    Is it me or do people come to your gigs just to say they were there?

    I'm lucky to even get my friends to come to the gig. You sure that this is a problem?

    Tinnitus. Who has it, for how long, and how do you cope?

    The foam plugs offer the best protection when you get them to seal right. Even though they do make everything sound s***.

    Tinnitus. Who has it, for how long, and how do you cope?

Long story short, I am nineteen years old and have tinnitus. Yes I wear earplugs, yes I do not play in stupid...

    Compression Pedals - Need or Non Essential

    I always saw compression as something frivolous and silly. I always thought to myself, "why would I spend a lot of money on something where I can not tell much of a difference in my tone?" Until one day I found an Aphex Punch Factory for super cheap on Craigslist. I took it home, played with...

    Carvin X100B used as a bass header? Anyone try it or have sound clips?

    Ever since I used a guy's amp at a show, a Tyler amp that was a Marshall Superbass clone, I have been dying to get myself an all tube header. I know that the X100B probably will not sound like the Tyler, but I still would love to hear some opinions on this. I like a "cleanish" bass tone and was...

    Help with a pick up decision

    It sounds like you prefer the sound of a passive pickup. Changing pickups is hardly an invasive modification, so why not swap the fancy active pickups for passive ones? Worst case scenario is you do not like it as much so then you can put the old pickups back in and sell the passive ones...

    What are your thoughts on Scott Grove and his videos?

    I mean, he definitely is entertaining.

    Downsizing from Ampeg SVT-VR

    One thing you might want to checkout though is the Orange Terrorbass, that thing sounds killer, has gobs of power, and is pretty lightweight.
