Good advice from Munji. Also,remember that it probably sounds even boomier to the audience than it does to you.

I recently joined the Z.Isaac Band,a Blues/rock band.I'm too new to have any pictures on the web site yet,all the pics have their old bass player. Link Removed

Now that I regularly use three different amps,it depends on the amp.For my church gig with a Trace Elliot 2x10 combo I always push the mid-cut or "shape" button,otherwise I cant hear anything but mids. In my Blues/Rock band with my Sunn 1200s and 4x10 I never push the mid-cut button.if it...

I should add,my old amp was 85 watts into a single 15,and was barely enough until it started playing unwanted radio stations and doing the "snap,crackle and pop" thing.Not sure if a 1x12 would cut it.Especially with the low 'B'. But I appreciate the response very much. Jim

My old combo amps have finally quit on me.I still have My Sunn 1200s and 4x10 for use with my main band,a rock blues outfit(The Z.Isaac Band),But sundays I play for the 1st-4th graders in a sunday school band at a huge church.Its around 100 kids per set,we do 2 sets. A local store has a Genz...

St.George Squire. Got it used for $99 around 1968. It was a "piggyback" with a small head(with tremolo) and a small 1x12 cab.I still have the original driver around somewhere.it has a picture of a bass guitar on the magnet.I think its a Jensen. I heard that a guy who worked for Fender...

When I was much younger I had very long hair.My advice is to try cutting it fairly short just to see what difference it makes in the way you are treated.You can always grow it back,it wont take all that long. I recently got my "short-but-shaggy"hair cut and a girl I work with,whom I thought to...

I just bought a Peavey GV,got it for less than half price.But I heard that graphite necks are more easily damaged by being left in a hot car,for example.Anyone know if thats true ?

Out here in Californy we got tons of crows,but today I saw a flock of geese flying south.Looks like we're headed for an early fall.Bring it on!! (I hate the heat)

Open neutral:no operation,open hot:no operation,in both cases its because electrical energy needs to flow from hot to neutral(actually,back and forth between the two in an AC circuit). Open ground is a shock hazard,especially if the amp/appliance etc.developes a "short to ground",ie;a hot...

Nylon Tapewounds wont feel like rounds,but you could try 'em and see if they feel sticky.Or you could just use rounds and put foam between them and the body near the bridge.

When I jam with a guitarist buddy of mine he uses a 22 watt Deluxe Reverb and I use a 1200 watt Sunn.Pretty even match actually.But then I aint famous.
