So... not all 8" practice amps are born the same, is that it? Are there any good ones, or just so so?

I have this 15W crate bt15 practice amp that sounds like crap, It completely lacks the low end. I always thought it sounded thin because of only having an 8" driver. Today I tried using my bass with my computer speakers (these), and was completely amazed! This thing has 30W but only a 5"...

I can buy both through Thomann.de in europe. But can't try neither before buying. The price is roughly the same.

Hi! I'm divided between these two amps. Which would you recommend? I play a bit of everything so I need a versatile amp :) The GK has a lot of good reviews, but the TC has an 15" driver + some cool features (tube drive emulation + some effects built in). One very nice thing about both of...

Thanks ozzy! :) Also, thanks to all the other tip from you all :)

I've got only one bass. And I always use it in standard tuning except when I play with this band. One of the guitarrists as a floyd-rose guitar (can't easily detune 1 halftone) and the uses a Morpheus drop tune pedal. It works really well, and you can't really tell that the sound is being...

Hi! I play in a band that plays in D# (all strings 1 halftone lower), and I'd like to avoid messing with my bass tuning. Can the zoom B3 pitch shifter do a good drop tuning simulation? (to D# for example) I really like the unit, and I'm tempted to get one. Please help me on this as...

There's a simple way to do what you want, but there are a few buts! So, what you want is for the tuner to be always tuning and when you press the pedal it will mute. You'll have to do 2 things: 1. Make the stomp switch break the output - buy a normally closed (press to break) switch and...

Hi! Do any of you with a zoom b3 tried using the pitch shift effect to get a lower tuning on your bass? How does it sound? Thanks!

Hi! I've changed the tone cap on my P-bass (fender clone, passive pups) from .068 to .047 It sounds fine, but when I have the tone pot in full off (cuting the highs), the volume pot is very sensitive in the first 10% of the movement. If i have the volume full on and then rotate only a bit...

Thanks! Thats plain and simple to understand! A site got me confused because after talking about cutoff points and showing some graphs it said that the tone pot would affect where the cutoff point would be, and that it would be almost the same as a variable cap value... :confused: can't seem...

Hi! I've researched a bit about tone caps but there's a doubt I cant seem to get the answer to anywhere. My fender p-bass clone has a passive split pickup and a .068mfd on the tone bleed. (also 250k pots for both tone and volume) From what I've read, if the tone pot is full on, it doesn't...
