I'm considering the same Ibanez basses and I'm leaning towards the SRMS625EX because we play in drop A also, so most tension would be required on that string rather than the others, whereas on the BTB, the scale length on ALL strings are the same at 35" so with drop A, the A will always sound...

Hi fellow low-enders......I'm looking for some feedback on this. I understand that this will likely be split down the middle but here it goes.... I have a 2006 American P Bass Deluxe and I'm hoping to improve sustain, intonation and tuning with a change to the bridge. My bass is string thru...

Fellow low enders, I've been in search for studio grade compression in a foot pedal for years but every single compression pedal I've ever tried has been disappointing. My live rig can't really accommodate a rack mounted compressor which to me sound better. I own the Aphex Punch Factory pedal...

Appreciate the feedback fellas, I passed on this one. They come up on the web from time to time, I'll wait.

I appreciate the feedback fellas - here's a photo of the neck stamp - it's faded but looks like it could be a '74

Hello fellow players, I have an opportunity to buy a '73 P Bass that appears to be in great condition. Everything is original with the exception of the pick guard and the bridge cover. in these pics I've attached can anyone tell if the original paint was stripped off or is this truly a natural...

The best sounding compressors I've ever recorded with have been dbx. I don't have a ton of experience with compression but the one thing I noticed playing through them (dbx) over all compression pedals or integrated compression in amplifiers is that it doesn't kill your tone. That's what...

How do you post pics? I can't seem to do that?!? It looks like that one

I think that's what it is, has 4 knobs - thoughts?

how do I post pics? I can't figure it out?!?

hi guys, I have an opportunity to purchase a 2008 Musicman Stingray in a metal-flake grey finish. Its beautiful but I've never seen that finish before. The price is incredible at $750 which makes me wonder - is it really a US made Stingray? Anyone out there seen this finish or know...

Fellow low enders, I'm considering purchasing a '75 P Bass. I haven't tried it out yet, but will in the next day or so. what are your thoughts? There is some rust on the pickups and bridge, but assuming that's overcomable, what else should I look at? Does this price sound right? I was...

Thanks guys, those were all helpful suggestions!

Hi, I recently bought an Aphex Punch Factory Optical Compressor pedal and so far I like it. This is my first bass pedal and I also looked at the Tech 21 Bass Driver pedal too. My questions is this, for those players who use pedals; what do you set your amp at when you use pedals that...
