    Should I be ashamed to rock a squire on stage?

    I wish this had been a poll. I have a CV P body with a 70's Mod Jazz neck. I'll be ashamed when someone pulls it out of my cold dead hands. I want this on a t-shirt.

    Combining two signals into one output.

    Saturnworks will have what you need. The A/B double loop switcher would probably work best.

    DI/Preamp Boxes: What do you go with for your sound?

    1. Tech 21 VT Bass and Oxford in parallel. 2. The Oxford is a great bass distortion, and the VT is like a clean blend with tone instead of just being dry. Essentially a dual amp rig on a pedalboard. 3. No problems yet. 4. Various metals.

    "Stop Pretending You're Having Fun At This Outdoor Concert"

    *Millenia The best show I ever saw was outside (Clutch opening for Primus). The pot smoke kept the bugs away and the rain was light and refreshing.

    Thoughts on this bass?

    The Glyptodont, a giant armadillo of the Pleistocene epoch. Famous for it's thagomizer, a remarkable mammalian re-evolution of the Ankylosaurus. Leprosy is a relatively weak pathogen, and easily defeated by uncompromised immune systems. Modern sanitation standards have all but eradicated the...

    Best compression pedal for around $30 or so?

    Well it's not the Tom'sline Bass Limiter. It did nothing but clip at any input level. $30 Compressor seems like a tall order. The square box TC's are repackaged Behringers, but it's a better box. Harley Benton's are repackaged Joyos. I would consider a Mooer-type diamond clone, I've encountered...

    Does a preamp make my bass active

    Yeah, I said that. I don't think it's a big deal myself, I use passive basses with floor preamps.

    Does a preamp make my bass active

    No. While everyone thinks of tone controls, active electronics/pickups are primarily about preserving frequency response, especially high end. They do this by buffering the signal to a lower impedance so the cord doesn't act like a capacitor in the circuit, filtering out highs a lot like the...

    Warwick push pull replacement

    If you didn't know, MEC is a branch of Warwick. These pots are made to match how the circuitry is laid out in the pcb, which is real squirrelly to figure out in something as proprietary as active Wariwicks. It's not hard to imagine they've changed what's happening inside the pots and circuit...

    SD 1/4 lb in active Precision Special?

    The stock pickup is passive, so yes. The only problem might be the pickup actually clipping the preamp because that QP is mighty hot, but with 18v it should be fine.

    Thunderbird or Music Man?

    Looking at the specs the MM, TB and HZ are all identical, so they're just the same pickup in different shells. Purely asthetic.

    LEH Guitars Releases their Latest 4-String Bass

    Much better, and like that finish. I normally don't go for the jaguar type bass, but this is really well balanced to the eye.
