    Fuzz bass in soul band with horn section

    I'm currently playing in a 6 piece band with two horns, drums, organ/keys, vocals, bass, and guitar. There are a couple of songs we wrote that would benefit from the fuzz bass sound like in Beautiful Brother of Mine or (Don't Worry) If there's a hell below by Curtis Mayfield. Getting the fuzz...

    Aguilar - Official 'Tone Hammer 500' 3.8lbs 500w Megathread!

    Count me in! Love my Aguilar rig! I was skeptical that a rig so lightweight could have such a thick, meaty tone but as soon as I plugged this in the first time, I was blown away.

    Precision Bass Plus -- Swapping pickups

    I currently have the stock Lace Sensor Precision and jazz pickups in my Passive 90s Fender P Bass Plus. After using these for years I've found that the output is far too weak and the tone isn't anything special. I'm looking at swapping these pickups out for the Aguilar P/J set. My only...

    SVT 7 Pro Rack Ears

    Guitar Center sells the SVT 7 Pro B-Stock but they note online that the B-Stock does not come with the rack ears. Is there anyway you can buy the rack ears seperately from ampeg? I can't justify spending 250 dollars more just for rack ears and the 5 year ampeg warranty.

    Did the svt vr standby issue ever get fixed?

    I have one of these on order and I was wondering if ampeg ever took the time to fix the standby issue where if the svt vr doesn't have 112 volts it won't come off of standby?

    Best size amp for auditorium setting?

    I'd personally want a little more power. My school previously had a Peavey TNT 115 but after years of use, found an Ampeg B2 combo. I think the Ampeg combo is 200 watts (correct me if i'm wrong) and it is one of the finest combos ever made. If you could find one of these used in your area...

    Versatile Strings?

    I need a set of strings that can work for many different types of music. I play blues, jazz (jazz band), funk (fingerstyle and slapping), and rock. I have tried Ernie Ball Super Slinkys, (ok) D'addario Nickel Rounds, and I am currently using D'addario Chromes. I like the flatwound sound on...
