Hi, I currently have a Fender Rumble 30, which I like a lot. I don't use it much, I mainly use my bass for recording and I go direct. But it is fun to play out loud from time to time. What I want to know is whether or not it's a problem to play my electric guitar through this amp? I...

Hi, I'm referring to the Fender website to adjust the setup of my Squier P bass. This is the link: Invalid Link Removed I'm not really clear on one item. Under "Action", they refer to measurements for the "Bass Side" versus the "Treble Side". How does this refer to the distance between...

THANKS! Hey guys, thanks very much. I'll start by putting on new strings in the morning, can't hurt anyway, still using the factory strings. I'll double check the nut and saddle while I'm at it. If that doesn't cure it, I'll bring the bass in for a proper setup. Again, that will be good...

Hi, I'm having a weird problem with my bass/amp, wondering if anyone has any ideas. When I play an open A strong, or if I fret anything on the A string, I get a buzz/distortion from my amp. When I play just about anything else on the bass on the E, D, and G strings, it's all OK, very clean...

I just found a Canadian online retailer that I can order GK amps from, the MB112 is just a little over my budget, but has lots more power. Is this an amp I should be considering as well? The size and power look great.

Well, my moment of bass bliss was short lived. After only one day of use, the Marshall has developed lots of hiss and distortion. I'm very disappointed, I never turned it up past a third of the volume. So, it's back to the store today. Again, I'd like some opinions. Some of the other models...

Thanks everyone for your input. I decided on the Marshall MB30. It wasn't what I thought I would get, I was looking for something smaller, with more power. I went into the store thinking I'd get the Line6 110. But the Marshall sounded better and louder, and was $100 cheaper, if a bit bigger...

Hi all, I recently purchased a nice Squier bass, a P Special Edition, with a P/J configuration. Sounded pretty good in the store, can't remember what amp I was using. Now I have it at home, and I'm not so sure any more. I'm plugging it directly into a Yamaha Stagepass 500 PA, so directly...

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response. My shop is getting one transferred over on Thursday, so I'll get to give it a try. My other option is an SX P bass, but I'd rather play before I buy if at all possible. So if this one's a keeper then I'm good to go. I'll have to move to the amp...

Hi, I was at the local music shop today, tried a number of Squiers, really liked them. One that they didn't have in stock was the Standard P Bass Special. You can see it here at this link...

Well I'll take a good look at the SX models at Rondo Music, the most expensive 4 string only runs $120.

I'm in Canada, so I do have access to a fair amount of stuff even though my local stores are sometimes limited. But between ebay and the magic of the Internet I can order quite a bit of stuff from the US, and the exchange rate is good these days! :).

Cool, any particular models I should be looking at?

Hi, I've been playing guitar for a very long time, but did play some bass when I was younger (30 years ago...). I'd like to get a bass and start playing again, just for fun, it's such a cool instrument to play. So... I have a chance to get a Fender Zone MIM in very good condition. It comes...
