Has anyone out there ever had the LED on an Audere preamp fail? I have the rear mount (non Jazz Plate) version. Some weeks ago the LED was acting funny. Not coming on or blinking faintly. Fresh batteries and the light started coming on again but not super bright. Now it doesn't come on at...

The replacement trolley was my next option. I saw your previous post about them and tried to buy just the wheels from Penn-Elcom. No dice. I presume I would have to replace the mounting brackets. I have their site bookmarked just in case :--)

Hi everyone. On the outside chance someone looks at this thread at a later date I thought I'd close the loop. I called Ampeg (thanks @agedhorse ) but they weren't able to help as they had no idea what wheels I could use. Undaunted, I kept going. Harbor Freight sells a caster that has the...

After 20+ years the wheels of my portabass 112 cabinet gave up the ghost. The plastic bits literally disintegrated. Does anyone know where I can source replacement wheels? I've found non-bearing wheels that are similar but I'd prefer something more like the original. I'd like to keep this...

Very similar think happed to my black Fender. My daughter was going through her goth stage so I borrowed some black fingernail polish. That was years ago and I cannot enev find the spot where it happened now.

I lived in Denmark for 3 years and and during that time became infatuated with all things Scandanivian and bass related. TC Electronics, EBS and MarlowDK were an obsession (I had a master class with the latter who lived a short walk from me) . Had I known own about Moar basses (were they...

I most certainly will. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, I'm aware of the breadth of the term jazz and that it encompasses many different variants. I am also aware that mastery, or the beginnings of it, requires significant study. We are starting with everything that is in the real book as a course of study.

Hello, my fellow low-is-life-ers I've played with a variety of folks, in a variety of genres, in a variety of countries and learned a bunch from every experience. One thing I never wrapped my head around was jazz. To me it was like learning Japanese (which I studied in college) because...

I once played in a church that was at least 600 years old. Excellent acoustics for voice but I could not hear myself or the bass drum at all no matter what I did. I ended up standing with my left leg touching the bass drum so I could at least feel when I was in time.

I used to play notes. Now I play music.

I live in Austin, TX. I could form a very good band with my neighbors. Several pro or semi-pro neighbors on my street. Our parties are epic.
