    Is a 25 Watt Combo enough to play a small coffee house?

    That's what I was gonna recommend. Yeah the ampeg was only 20 watts. But its quite a bit louder than a normal 25 watt combo

    I much prefer my DI sound to my amp sound. What should I do?

    The Zoom ms60b was exactly what I was looking for. Sounds way better straight in than the tone hammer di. I can play these through any decent size speakers and sound great The tone hammer is still better at that vintage dirt kind of thing. I really consider it more an overdrive than a di box...

    The perfect strings...have you found yours?

    Ive been on a string journey recently trying out strings for my PJ So far ive only tried Fender and DR LOriders. The only thing i know for sure is that i prefer 40-100 on this bass. The 100 is better balanced with the rest of the strings and more thuddy like i like it as opposed to more boomy...

    The truth about acoustic basses from a doctorate in bass performance

    Lol worth watching I was laughing pretty hard at him playing the stand up sitting down. He looked like a if a minitaur and a bass had a baby but it came out a full grown man and a baby horse. Lol in all seriousness I'm glad I watched because he knew more about the instrument than I did.

    NBD - G&L L2000

    L2000 is what im gasing for right now. Especially this color with matching headstock. ACE! I saw a video comparing an L2000 back to back with a jazz, then back to back with a P, then back to back with a stingray. Amazing how it can cop all those tones

    The truth about acoustic basses from a doctorate in bass performance

    I went to a bluegrass festival last year. Camping and jamming with strangers, alot of fun. I was REALLY impressed with the sound and projection of one man who brought along a guitarron. The bass that mariachi bands use. This thing boomed, no problem hearing it over the loud banjos and fiddles...

    I much prefer my DI sound to my amp sound. What should I do?

    I have a fender rumble 200 with a Laney nx115 cab. It sounds pretty good. But I much prefer using my tone hammer di straight into my monitors or into a PA. I have phantom power turned on and just a tiny bit of compression from my audio interface It's cleaner. Sliding on the E string sounds so...

    I love cheap basses!

    What's a good cheap 90s bass? Alot of them have risen in value quite a bit. Something like Peavey fury but those are getting high too nowadays. Peavey t40 also cool but same thing, pretty pricey.

    Who Is Your Favorite Bass Player Of All-Time And Why ? ? ?

    Fraser. His bass lines just make me happy and make me want to dance. They're joyful really but also cut hard. My favorite bass player will never be the most technical or skillful bass player in the world. I can respect that, but my favorite bass lines are simple

    I love cheap basses!

    My main bass is an affinity pj squire that sounded and played really well from the get go. I tried it out in the store and i instantly liked it alot. But then it's not so cheap. Because I then gave it a freeman signature neck that I found for a good deal. Then I put geezer emg pickups in it...
