    i just got the aphex bass exciter pedal and...

    Hi I am interested in buying this pedal for my Modulus Flea 5. I've always loved the tone i get with my Modulus but I've always thought it could use a little more bottom end "oomph" to support the band a little more, the only thing ive heard in terms of how the pedal sounds is the exmaple on...

    $1500 To Blow, Looking for a 5-string

    haha yeah I know right now I definately want it, but I don't want to make a blind choice with 1500 and I've only played a couple of other basses in that price range

    $1500 To Blow, Looking for a 5-string

    I just recently got my hands on a modulus flea 5 at a local guitar shop, and I liked every aspect of it, the feel, the neck, the tone, slapping, tapping, everything. However I don't want to spend all that money and find out there was a better bass for the money. So I was wondering if anyone...

    Spector String Spacing

    Yeah that's the main problem for me, popping the D and A strings are the main concern.

    Spector String Spacing

    thanks a lot for the reply, at least the 4-string sounds like its fine with slapping, anyone have experience with 5's?

    Spector String Spacing

    I am planning on ordering a Spector NS5CRFM soon, but I am wondering about the supposed smaller than standard string spacing. The only basses I have slapped with on a day to day basis are an Ibanez EDC 5-string and Fender MIM Jazz 4 string. Is the string spacing a big enough difference for me to...

    Can't Remember This Company

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the company that makes this bass. I saw their website a while ago but forgot their name and they had my favorite designs for basses. Thanks a lot.

    Slapping on a 5-string

    I have a problem with slapping/popping on my 5-string. I am not able to slap the E and pop the D with ease/as fast as A to G. I was wondering if anyone else had/has this problem and any solutions would be great.

    Wide String Spacing

    I'm thinking about getting a Warwick Thumb or Corvette 5-string, and I'm just wondering if there any really noticeable drawbacks to the wide string spacing option. I have some trouble slapping on 5-strings as fast as 4-strings and think that this would help, but I also would like to know if it...

    5-String Choice

    haha no not at all, I mean by the musiciansfriend comment that once the price range gets up to about 1500 the custom basses and more hard to get ones come into play. I was just wondering if there are any that play like the corvette that I should try before commiting to the corvette.

    5-String Choice

    Right now my heart is set on the Warwick Corvette Standard 5-string. I played that along with a few other basses including Ibanez and Musicman but they didn't even compare. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some other choices in that price range that I should try that aren't at...

    Basses Similar To Warwick Corvette

    I'm looking for basses that have a similar feel to the Warwick Corvette Standard. I recently played one and felt that it was exactly the kind of feel and sound I wanted from a bass. The tightness of the strings makes slapping extremely easy and its got a very fast neck. I was just wondering if...

    Tweeter Problems

    Just got an awesome SWR Workingman's rig (4004 Head, 2x10T and 1x15T cabs) but I'm having a problem with the 2x10T tweeter. I love the high-end that it gives my tone, but it makes quite a bit of noise. Since there are only three options on the tweeter control on the cab I put it in the middle...
