    Looking for a Combo Amp Replacement

    Hello, I've had a Fender Rumble 75 for about 2-3 years now, and while there is nothing wrong with the amp, I just can't seem to get any amazing tones out out of it. I know I shouldn't expect anything mind-blowing out of a combo amp, (paid 215$ for it new) but I think I wanna get an upgrade...

    Frustrated with guitar-love bass, can't get into guitar

    I've been playing bass for about 4 and a half years and LOVE it! but, I picked up electric guitar about a year ago, and just don't have the motivation, the drive, or the desire to continue it. Bass is my passion. I know basics on guitar, but I don't really want to continue it anymore. My...

    I need a LIGHTWEIGHT TUBE amp

    Hey, I've been contemplating buying an Ampeg SVT CL and a 410 Cabinet for a while now, and have worked since the beginning of summer saving every penny I can. I have over 1800$ now. (minimum wage job 7.25$ an hour, in high school right now) I gig, but only occasionally. Usually smallish gigs...

    Cabs to use with SVT Classic head?

    So. I'm saving up for a new bass rig with a head and cabinet. I'm tired of my solid-state fender rumble 75. I think I'm gonna get the SVT Classic head. It's 2 or 4 ohms. While I may be able to fit an SVT810 cab in my car, don't have the need (yet) of such a big cabinet. I also don't...

    Help me put my song lyric idea on paper

    He sees empty cities, empty cars, feels an strange erie quiet vibe. he is beginning to realize that he is the only living being for miles and miles. He thinks just as any of us would if we were ever in the situation, freaked out and intimidated by what he's just gone through, yet motivated...

    So, I've got an idea for a song. I don't know what genre it should be, probably anything but death metal. idea: A man is traveling in his car when he miraculously survives an apocalyptic event. He is the only living person in a once thriving city, left to wander a place that was made...

    Berg 610 vs Ampeg vs whatever else

    So, I know, I need to just sit down and play these cabs myself... I'm a student, I work a minimum wage job of 7.25 an hour. I don't know my budget for my quest for a nice tube bass rig. I want something like an Ampeg SVT. At first, I was just gunning for a new 810. then, I heard about...

    Which 4x10 should I buy? and head.

    So, I think I found a good speaker configuration for the bass rig I'm saving up for. I play various types of music, from blues-rock to grunge to punk. I've got a Sterling RAY34. Current amp is Fender Rumble 75. I think I can get by with a 4x10, and then add on to the setup later if I need...

    4x10, 6x10, 8x10? I need help choosing a new amp

    I've got a Volvo S70. mid size 4 door sedan. I used to have a station wagon, it would've been good for transporting larger gear.

    4x10, 6x10, 8x10? I need help choosing a new amp

    What about a 6x10? I know I don't need an 8x10, in fact, a 6x10 or 4x10 would probably be okay. Don't have any idea of my budget. I guess it depends on how much I want to save before I start spending.
