It's nice that all these youngsters are offering so much encouragement..........ahhhhh, the exuberance of youth.........but take it from this 72-year-old, if I can still do it, you can too. I've lost some speed to looming arthritis, but still able to provide a solid low end. Strap it on and...

+1 on the Line 6 LD Studio 110. Small, versatile, portable. I've used mine for practices for quite a few years, and I've even gigged with it for small venues with and without FOH help.

I just picked one of these up at my local dealer.......less than a $20 bill. Fender Single-Button On/Off Footswitch | Sweetwater.com

I'm loving my new Rumble 500 head through a Rumble 115 cab. Looking at options for adding another cab to the rig. May I have a club member number?

I've gotten all my covers here. Never have been disappointed. If you don't see your amp/cab cover on the site, there's an easy to use custom form to fill out.....and your custom cover then shows up on the site for others to order as stock. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Try this link. You can check your tuner against it as well as tune your bass audibly (in the absence of a piano or pitch pipe). Invalid Link Removed

Most helpful, folks. Guess I best play through this thing for a couple of rehearsals to see if I can get a feel for the finer points, techniques, and advantages y'all have brought to my attention. Hope everyone has a great 2012 with gigs to spare, intra-band harmony, and appreciative audiences.

Appreciate the feedback.

This may be one of those "who cares" questions, but I'm curious. Does anybody use a volume pedal? I ran across a Boss FV50 pedal at the church the other day. Hooked it up, and it works great, but I can't figure why I would use it. Stating the obvious, I have volume controls on my basses and...

There's a wealth of sites and instruction books available on this subject. Start with a search on TB......and search on youtube.com also. On a personal note, when I get to digging in, it's usually the attack angle of my fingers. I get my shoulder and elbow back up where they belong instead...

If you don't have an owners manual, Google the amp make and model and you will be able to get one easily (or go directly to the manufacturer's website). You can also Google each control function to get an explanation. Without a manual and not knowing the make and model of your amp, generally...

Something has to be wrong. I have a Grind 4 and those humbucking pickups work great going through any amp I have....Peavey, Line6, G-K. I would definitely have a good tech check it out before making any decisions on boosters, pedals, replace p/u. You bought it used, right? Is it possible the...

I tend to favor the GHS Precision Flats......and please, share what it's like to accompany Gregorian Chants played on a pipe organ.........

Sounds like you need a good setup. I would recommend you take the bass to a local luthier and pay a few bucks for a setup. And while you're at it, ask him/her to show you the basics of the process. Another option is to go to the Hardware, Setup, and Repair section of this forum where you will...
