    Threatened of being fired (from 2 bands) because I won't take a spare bass...

    So, it looks like it's around a 60/40 split on the spare bass. (60% do/40% don't). No surprise here. We're all independent people who do things the way we each think they should be done. I believe there's no right or wrong answer here. The good news: We're all bass players who love what...

    Threatened of being fired (from 2 bands) because I won't take a spare bass...

    Oh, and I do have a Squire 5-string I use at church (for that big booming B string), but when I play out at gigs, I take my only my favorite bass: my Rick! (smile)

    Threatened of being fired (from 2 bands) because I won't take a spare bass...

    I've been playing for 40 years and have never taken 2 basses to a gig! I also have never had a bass die on me. In the old days, occasionally an amp would die though. What were you supposed to do... lug around 2 bass amps? Naw, I didn't think so. In the modern era, now most of us use DIs...

    Warning: Do not buy a Fender Rumble 350

    Called Eminence in KY, and they were really great knowledgeable people. Plus, they directed to to a local store that carries their brand! So i shelled out $160 to get a matched set of speakers designed to do the job! As an aside, they told me that THEY used to be the manufacturer for...

    Warning: Do not buy a Fender Rumble 350

    After giggin for over a year with my Rumble 350 combo, one of the speakers blew on me during a job. I had switched from a passive p/u bass to one with active p/ups, and I neglected to reset the controls on the amp. I limped through the rest of the evening with crappy sound! Next day I...

    Six string bass with H on head

    I was at a show tonight watching a really good local band in Dayton, OH, play, and the bass man was playing a beautiful thru neck 6 string that had a single letter H on the head. Anyone know what manufacturer this is? Thanks guys.

    4x10 vs. 2x12. Your thoughts...

    After going through a lot of combos and cheap stacks, that ultimately failed at the most critical times (live on-stage gigs), I finally switched to the MarkBass line of equipment. Got the MarkBass Little Mark Tube 800 plus two cabs: a 4x10 and a 1x15 (bought the gear new at Guitar Center)...
