    Alesis 3630

    Ironjaw, THANK YOU for your help with taming my 3630. I have it running through the effects loop on my SVT 4 PRO, and I swear a week ago I couldn't live with my sound, but now things are looking good. Granted, it wasn't the only thing wrong with my rig, but I bet it was a big part of it. Thanks...

    Ibanez SR305 vs Jackson JS3V

    FWIW, the JS3V only has a 34" scale.

    I have a problem... I buy basses without cases.

    I need a case for my new Jackson JS3V bass. I thought it would fit in an SKB 44 case, but my friend has that case, and the new Dave Ellefson 4 string bass. He said he doesn't think it will fit a 5 string headstock. Does anyone have this bass? If so, what case do you have? The store I bought...

    NBD: Jackson JS3V

    i just picked one up at capitol guitars in st paul mn. i love the bright sound, a lot edgier than i expected, especially since the ampeg i tried it through was kinda sketchy. looking fwd to throwing it through my SVT 4 PRO on sunday. it plays like a guitar, the neck is nice.

    noob question about my new ampeg

    OK dudes, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have a question for youse all: So the amp has worked swimmingly over the past few months. Since I had it fixed really. My usual setup is the amp and 2 XLT 410 clones, daisy chained to create a 4 ohm load. then of course the BDDI pedal in front...

    Schecter Owner's Club, pt 2

    So my California Custom is a long scale. 35" I think. Anyone have a good string suggestion, so I can actually string it through the body? I've not been playing bass seriously for very long, but the last few times I bought strings, looking for long scale, the dude behind the counter gives me...

    noob question about my new ampeg

    well dudes, if any of you is from the Mpls area, take your repairs to Casey Gooby. Music Electronic Tech. he fixed what Savage Audio missed and only charged me $100 for it. Savage's labor rate is higher and obviously they missed this problem. my amp kicks a lot of Bass. looking fwd to getting a...

    noob question about my new ampeg

    This summer has been one trial after another, since my wife was in and out of the hospital. I sold a few things on Craigslist and was able to afford to get it to a tech. It turns out, the previous tech work neglected to fix solders between the circuit board and the back panel of the amp. One...

    somewhat of a newb looking for advice

    i can play with my fingers some of the time, like slower paced tunes. when it comes to stuff like what i've been trying to play recently, i can't keep up with the tempo. i have some strength but not a whole lot of speed at the moment. as far as a computer program, i'm running protools 8 and...

    Going nuts trying to memorise a bassline...Tips?

    i spent a lot of time this week learning Dani California by RHCP. there's a similar riff that Flea plays over and over, and almost every other time he adds a piece of flair. well, i think it happens 6 or 7 times throughout the song, and keeping those straight was more of a challenge than playing...

    The Ampeg Family Reunion - Official Club Thread Part 3

    i just bought an SVT 4 PRO about 2 weeks ago (for $600 i might add), and it's been sitting at my drummer's house ever since. i'll see if i can get the ONE PIC i took with my phone to upload here. i'm looking at a few 410 HLF's on craigslist, and if i can rob a bank or donate a few organs, maybe...
