    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 2

    Last pic- I hope that the "B" sticker on the case means Baritone body. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself... How do you guys feel about the binding on the body?? I'm still undecided.

    Pic 5 shows the truss rod. Pic 6 is inside of the back compartment- a couple of splinters and some thin wire- should be fine, but I can hear a splinter rolling around inside when I pick it up and put it down.

    Third pic shows the Hipshots. I didn't take a pic of it, but yes there is a small gap between the tuner post and the securing nut, but I'm not really bothered by this though. Fourth shows the back hatch. The magnets are nice and strong, so I don't think this will slip off easily. However, as you...

    First image shows the side view. It looks kinda nice, but the binding is a bit uneven on the sides. Second image the end plug with binding.

    So, I finally got my Christmas gifted Ubass (back ordered from Sweetwater) today! It was definitely worth the wait. However, immediately upon peeling off the plastic & opening up the case, I noticed two things: The body has dark brown tortoise shell binding on both the top and back edges. And I...

    Yes, the Moog sound is super nasty! I actually prefer the grittier sound of the Little Phatty over the more extensive Voyager. Especially for deep bass sounds and organ vibrato. For fun, I dialed up a seriously low frequency house bass sound, and the cabinet put out an articulate airy sub sound...

    I ordered one of the last cabinets they had available (8ohm) last week Friday. It arrived this past Wednesday, and I finally got to check it out today. And I'm finally getting around to testing out the Orange Terror Bass 500 that I bought here from a TB member almost 4 months ago. I had...

    Who is moving music forward today?

    I got almost all the way down to the 4th page thinking, has nobody mentioned TORTOISE yet! But there it is listed above.... I just saw these guys a few months back at the Troubador, and wow! these guys put on an amazing live show! What great bass playing, so minimal yet funky in the pocket...

    which would you choose? Shuttle 6.0 or BMax-t

    Wow, I didn't think being a newbie would get me such little response around here.. ust to clarify, what would be your preference between the two as far as sound quality recording? yes the shuttle gets points for being an amp.. but which do you guys think sounds better given my setup above??

    which would you choose? Shuttle 6.0 or BMax-t

    Hello all, I'm quite the newbie posting here. I'm not that much of a gear head, but I definitely like to shop around for the best bang for the buck. I'm looking to buy a small but high quality DI setup for recording straight into Logic. I play a 69' passive fender jazz that to my ears sounds...
