    Squier Precision CV 60's: what is it really worth?

    Somebody apparently already did… it’s listed as “sold” now.

    Scott's Bass Lessons - review for those curious

    I’ve gotten a lot out of SBL... I know there’s no shortage of detractors here but for me, at my current level, I’ve found SBL very useful. For someone who has been playing a lot longer than I have or is a natural at it, maybe it wouldn’t be any benefit to them but for folks that aren’t naturals...

    What song first drew your interest in playing bass?

    One Way Out... Berry Oakley is criminally underrated, imo...

    I've got a bass I love, but don't love to look at (refinish advice)

    This. This is the correct answer.

    Thoughts on these cabs?

    This should be the standard answer for almost ANY “which (X) should I choose?” question... especially all the questions I’ve personally asked....

    Ashdown Class D Amps - Bad Quality

    I actually meant the D800+.... my edit game is definitely NOT on point tonight... I’ll re-edit to reflect that one also.

    Ashdown Class D Amps - Bad Quality

    Not buzzing... more of a humming thing. Will edit my post to reflect that. I think there’s a thread on TB about it.

    Ashdown Class D Amps - Bad Quality

    All I can add is that two weeks ago I was very close to buying an Ashdown rig (RM 500 and either a 2x12 or a 4x10 cab) and now? Not a chance. I’m most likely going to end up with a Mesa D800+ and a 1x12/1x15 (either/or, but eventually both) rig but the D800+ is definitely the front runner now...

    TRADED DNA 800

    Yeah, like I said, if it’s not entry level stuff, I’m not really up to speed on how to hook everything up. I need a headphone ready head for sure though, either through something like an Ashdown Tone Pocket or just an outright phone Jack on the back of of the amp.

    TRADED DNA 800

    I don’t see an input for headphones on the back panel, but I admit I’m not super knowledgeable about amps that aren’t combos either... lol!! edit: reading the manual on the DNA website, it looks like I’d need to buy a separate preamp to plug in to the slave port to do the headphone thing, if...

    Mesa TT 800 or Bergantino Forté HP??

    I just found that out this week when I was talking to my Aguilar buddy down in Columbus. He was laughing at me for not knowing that!! He loves his rig but understands that his needs are not necessarily MY needs and that I need to play through as many rigs (on my own bass, which makes sense) as...

    Intentional irony: A good bassist on an inexpensive bass

    I’ve been really happy with my CV 60’s Squier. Sounds good, plays good and that’s all that really matters to me at this point in my development. I’m still what you’d call a beginner but if I’m spending a good size chunk O’ change on gear, I’d rather sink it into the amp rig. When I was growing...
