Played one of these and it changed my opinion on Ibbys. Love this bass because it's so versatile and tight, wish I could warrant buying it :) Good luck!

Playing a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0

Everybody is dropping the names of cabs, what are these cabs like? Why do you think they are the cab to buy?

So the time has come once again to acquire more gear. I am looking at a new cabinet for my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 to push through. I play an '04 bubinga Warwick Corvette Std 5, I love what I've got, and have consulted TB for pretty much all of my purchases. :) So, I'm looking at a 410 or 210...

Spectors have quite a thick sound, and can lack some articulation. You might like it if you like a lot of mids. These can sound really great, they play pretty nicely. I like the Ibanez SR1206e, they're really cool with a lot of different sound options (you'd definitely get the sound you want...

Agreed, what's with the placement of the strap button?

+1 I like the even tension because it doesn't feel too strange when string skipping, and they are quite bright so they really can cut through quite well.

Out here in Vegas the metal scene is full of complete gear snobs, people just laugh at anyone without a half stack, or axe fx. But everyone will shut up pretty quick if your a good player. I used to play a Fender Rumble 150 with a drummer and a guitarist with barely any problems. I was...

I like flea for being in Back to the Future.

I would personally take the money for used gear and get something nicer! n the wonderful realm of used gear you could get a Warwick Corvette Std for $750, or a nice Stingray or Sterling for under a grand or an '08 Fender American Standard J Bass here on TB for $850. The Rockbass isn't the...

You should do what the guy said above, set all knobs to noon, and check for imbalance. Next I would equalize by cutting what I don't like and leaving what I do like. Remember it's always better to cut what you don't like and leave what you do like because you get greater control over your...

:eek:That's awesome!! Maybe I should visit more Pawn Shops and Garage sales. . .

+1 My Warwick just has that sound, when I can play a bubinga/wenge Ibanez SR prestige and it has no where near the same sound. So I'm pretty sure they just have to put the gold writing that says Corvette Std and the inlaid W for Warwick and it makes the bass have that sound. It's that and you...

So I needed something for when I go to college for silent practice, and it was a shame that my current head (Acoustic B200) didn't have a headphone out:crying:. With my birthday on Friday I headed to the Talkbass Classifieds:ninja:. I had only really expected to get a small combo amp and some...

When I started I didn't like Fenders, because I couldn't afford an American J-bass to play. :D Like many people I went to Ibanez, and it satisfied me for the time being. However, there comes a time in every man's life when they don't want the best bass for metal and they don't discredit other...
