    Carvin BX1500: A Love Story

    The BX1500 has been my daily driver for several years. Speaking of sounding like nothing: sclift over on Greenboy's forum scoped his and determined that you could get very close to actual true flat (without using the graphic eq) by setting the parametric like this: Bass +3, Lo Mid +3 @ 50 Hz...

    Empress Para EQ

    You are reading the settings correctly. Somewhere on this site there is a scope of the Sadowsky pre - maybe by Passinwind as he does that, and maybe in a shorter multieffect thread if memory serves but my google-fu is not strong enough to find it. I got this one used from a Canadian seller on...

    Empress Para EQ

    Hello my brothers. I've been away for a long time but popped in to kill some time in corona-land. Everything in this thread is true but I came in to add this: after getting an empress I sold both my barber linden and my sadowsky because I could get the same sounds from the mighty empress. Check...

    Double Bass Does this crack require repair?

    The neck is not moving. Is this a harbinger of future problems or merely cosmetic? Any opinions would be appreciated.

    Lakland Owners Group #69

    Question: is there any (musical) reason to get a 44-60 or DJ4 if you've got a 4402? In other words, does the JJ option on the 4402 (with the MM split) sound about the same as those two basses?

    what are the best basses in $450-$550 range?

    I don't think you could do better than a used Spector NS2A. There's a supposed NS2 at GC used for $425 at the Marietta, GA store that they will ship to your local GC for $50 or so. Call them first and make sure it's okay before you bother. It's probably a Korean NS2A not an American NS2 for that...

    Lighter weight cab alternative to fEARful 15/6

    Guys have traded 15/6s for 12/6s and vice versa in the classifieds here before. You could pocket the cash, or put it toward a 12 sub (or flatpack) from Leland, or if you have lots of cash put it towards a reverse baffle 12/6 (or flatpack) from Leland. Then leave one where you practice and one...

    What to buy? New bass, amp, or neither?

    The overwhelming consensus is that you get a lot more mileage out of a better amp than a better bass.
