Here's a vid of my JagBass with SCN pickups and a fuzz circuit in place of all the active crap. http://youtu.be/3LGtJUE7WK0

Hey man, I will check out your band when I'm at a computer, and not just an iphone. I'm mostly replying so I can keep track of the post! Melodic, bright, and punchy sounds right up my alley. The band I play bass for, We Were Wolves, is hosting 4 of our songs for free download on our ReverbNation...

My band, We Were Wolves, hit 1000 views on our website today, and to celebrate, we're putting up 4 songs for free download! These songs were recorded for a vinyl-only release, of which only 100 copies were pressed. They'll only be available for the next 2 days, so get while the gettin's good...

Take your time doing it, but drink 2 beers first. That's my dosage anyway. I may or may not have to do a couple of takes, but definitely fewer takes than if my nerves are working overtime. My problem with recording is that I have wicked gear, but the situation always leads to me plugging in...

Bottum's Up!, thanks for checking out the site! Your points were actually just in mind- we are plugging into the soundboard and all. In the long run though, it's best to be prepared for anything, and there may not always be a soundboard, so I'm looking for something that will hold its own...

The Michael Kelly's seem cool, but that may be Troy, of Mastodon, and his endorsement talking. My big disadvantage is that I have guitar tendencies, so it's hard for me to tell what's gonna sound best in the mix. I go for bright and punchy, and I play mostly with a pick. I apologize for the...

Thank you all for the input! My bandmates keep bringing up the option of just turning down my electric, but I'd like to preserve the acoustic feel for all involved. Plus, though my Neo-D speakers save a lot of weight, my all tube heads make up for it in spades!

Cool, thanks! I'm sparked on the Michael Kellys. I think the whole band is going DI to the soundboard, so yeah, it's really a comfort/cosmetic thing. I'd like to be able to hold my own without a soundboard though. I'm about to borrow a Dean, we'll se hiw that goes! Thanks again for the suggestions!

Yeah, the JJ's are quite girthy, but fit (albeit close) in the Traynor, and there's a bit more room in the Fender. I just wanna know if anyone can confirm if it gets more punch or brightness... Thanks!

This question has probably been asked a million times- but does anyone have any experience with this setup? I put KT88's in my Traynor YBA200, and love the result, just wondering if I should do the same to the Fender. It ain't cheap, buying 6 new tubes!

I'm a guitar player who started playing bass in a band a couple years ago, and I've learned alot, mostly through buying gear, then playing on better gear. My band is starting to do acoustic gigs on occasion, and I wanna be a good bassist and own all my gear (rare in Beaumont, TX!), and if I'm...
