Oh boy is it extra weight! Especially on a neck with big ol’ vintage style tuners!!! on my buddies select jazz, the string retainer didn’t seem to have any negative side effects at all, unlike the fat finger that dulled my tone in exchange for a bit more consistency. The string retainer is a...

The whole string retainer thing kind of reminds me of the fat finger. With claims that it would improve performance of the Bass by adding punch and sustain, and simultaneously kill the dreaded dead spots right in theor tracks! I was unaware that my p Bass was lacking in these departments, and...

Lol, that little thing is my fav practice amp of all time, battery powered, headphone jack and a sweet overdrive. I figure I got the hard part out of the way by finding the bass, but my quest does continue!

Hahahaha, damn skippy!

Thank you sir! I was experimenting with a fat finger, and while I found it didn’t do to much to add sustain, it did even out a few volume inconsistencies between notes. However, it did this at the expense of taking some of the character of the tone away, made it a bit more sterile, so the...

This will be long..... Man, I’m a bit envious of your glorious rig! Would love an SVT with fridge and a b15! Who wouldn’t tho? It’s just such an amazing feeling, being in front of that fridge while playing booty shaking bass lines. And then that b15 tone in the studio. Ahhh, I’m truly a...

It’s usually sunny out where I live, I don’t get confused when it rains. This was a NBD thread, the seller just happened to be a school. Not all schools are poor, and the op didn’t afaik force the school to give it to him. But the way you phrased your comment it almost seems like your trying...

Zombie thread resurrection! Dude, nice job on fixing that bass up. Yours has the fender shaped headstock which is kind of rare. It’s probably a very early example before the whole lawsuit thing. I *think* they started building them in ‘84 from my research, but it doesn’t seem like anyone...

I’ve experienced the weak e string issue on a number of MiA p basses that I tried out in GC and SA, however I’ve read here on talkbass that people have fixed it with just a height adjustment. Honestly tho, I am a bit skeptical. I was not really wowed by the v mod pickups, they seemed very...

That’s so great to hear farace! There’s something really special about these old mxr pedals. I first had the reissue ‘74 script. A real nice pedal. Way better than the block version on the pedal. But the real deal just sounds a bit sweeter and has a wider range in the knob. There’s a...

Now I like the sound of the combo, but in this particular case, it’s operating limits are quite low. Oh, and I play a 4 string p bass with flats, no low b here.

Just to be be clear, I am no idiot. I’ve been playing bass for over 20 years, do not abuse my gear, I have a audio engineering degree as well as a bachelors in music performance, read the manual, and have had and used my markbass combo for the past 7 years. I’m not turning all The knobs to 11...
