Definately my old behringer "180" watt. No where NEAR 180 lol

Thanks for the input guys! the bass is brand new out of the factory, and i bought it online at musiciansfriend.com. i'm a little hesitant to try to return the bass, seeing as in my excitement, i changed the strings, put on some stap locks, and i went and peeled that weird plastic film off the...

so i just got my brand new MIM p bass, and i absolutely love it!! only thing i could possibly be less than ecstatic about is how my tone pot seems to be either on, or off. it seems that it's either full bright, or totally mellow, no in between. in fact, if i play a note, and turn the knob, i...

so what is, and how do you "ground" one's pickups? to be completely honest, I do not know much at all about pickups, just curious as to what that means :D lol

I was down at Guitar Center, looking around at amps, and one of the salesmen started talking to me. I asked him some stuff about hybrid amps with a tube preamp and a solid state power section, and he told me that these types of amps are more or less gimics, and that if you want that "tube"...

Pretty much. When your playing with your band, I'd try to concentrate more on what the rhythm guitar is doing, just because sometimes the lead part doesn't exactly carry the rhythmic foundation of a song in most melodies or solos. Also, it seems to me that in this situation, you are the rhythm...

Ok, so I was messin around on musiciansfriend recently, and i found this! i was just gonna ask if anybodys seen one of these before, and what they think of them!

yeah, my mistake on the initial wattage, i was referring to the cab, because it is rated at 450 watts at 8ohms (the 2x10 version in the portaflex series). But yeah, the head is rated at 500 watts at 4ohms, and 300 watts at 8ohms. I think one of the best parts of the cab is how you can throw...

yeah, i did just get the new rig, which is why im trying to be so careful ;) but the only reason i ask is because i simply wanna experiment with the tone i get when i really push it. Also, when i say "peak point", i mean the point to where the head is distorting by having the gain up, and...

I run a solid state head at its peak point consistently? I know if you do that with a tube head, eventually your gonna hafta replace tubes, but what will happen to a solid state head? the specific head im talking about is the PF500 from ampeg. its pretty much brand new, and i love this amp...

ok, so I just brought home my first legitimate rig, that being an Ampeg Portaflex, with the PF500 head, and the 2X10 portaflex cab with HF horn, and oh my goodness, I Love this Amp!! :hyper::hyper: It sounds amazing, gets LOUD, and the head has all the features and buttons I could want. the...

i HAVE 1,600ish, but i would like to get out as cheap as possible at the moment, i have a behringer ultrabass 1800 combo. 1x12 speaker, says it can do 180 watts, but im not so sure of that... and we are playing contemporary christian stuff

Ok, so Ive been playing bass for about a year now, and I've got a really great gig lined up in the near future, however I have a problem. The amp I have is SEVERELY underpowered, especially for this venue (which is a good sized band room with PA to plug into). Also, in the band I'm playing...

not so sure myself, but what i can say is that dood is hairy!! :D

ok, so i was talkin to a fellow bassist a while back about basses with really thin necks. he thought thin necks are great, but he told me that putting flatwounds on it might bend the neck a lot, and make it to where i might be readjusting the truss rod an awfull lot. is that true?
