    Why all the concerns about weight?

    As mentioned in the past couple posts, wouldn't a super comfortable strap help aid this?

    Dean Bass Hate?

    There's a guitar shop in my area that used to carry Dean's, I played a couple that they had (a few acoustics, a few solid-bodies), I didn't like any of the one's I played, felt like there was something wrong with each one. Not hate, but I'm not a fan.

    What is the deepest, most thumping 5 string bass?

    I'm jonesing for a Schecter Stilletto Studio-5 bass, I'm aiming for something that's what you described, very thumpy, and it delivers quite well.

    Need input on deciding between these three amps

    How's it sound with the volume cranked and with the lows really boosted? That's my only worry between both of these amps. Thanks.

    Need input on deciding between these three amps

    Mine's an Ibanez, it's okayish for me but I have the bass picked out that I want to save up for. It's ~$800 after taxes and since I'm jobless for the time being it's going to be a while before I get it.

    Need input on deciding between these three amps

    A while ago I posted that I was interested in a new practice amp, after jamming with my friend again today I am ABSOLUTELY certain that I need a new amp ASAP, I hate my tiny amp not being able to bring out the E-string when using fingers and the low-B string playing with a pick or fingers, I...

    Looks like I need a new practice amp

    Yeah I'd like to eventually save up and get a full Hartke stack, it'll be around $1,000 - $1,2000 USD, but that'll be for the future if I get to the point where I play shows, so I'm just going medium-ground for now.

    Looks like I need a new practice amp

    No input? I thought there'd be tons of people jumping on suggesting what amp I should get. Alright so after a while of searching I came up with these, it'd be nice to get some opinions on each one: Peavy Max 115 Acoustic B100 or B200 Rocktron Rampage Bass 100 Nemesis N28...

    Looks like I need a new practice amp

    So my crappy practice amp I've had for 5 years that came in a starter pack is finally starting to have it's limitations for me. I haven't been jamming too hard with it until recently, and it's not up to my standards. I was planning to save up for a big full-stack Hartke setup, but that'll have...

    Ever break a string?

    Question: How exactly does a bass string break? Especially an E or even a B string? I can't imagine them snapping. You get hit with one of those, in the face, that sounds like a world of hurt. 5 years and obviously never broken one yet. If I ever get to gigging I would DEFINATELY pack a spare...
