    Your Best Pedal Purchase of 2019?!

    A couple. I have a RP 1000 that is really cool, it can do so many things, you could spend half a lifetime and not hit on all the combinations. Its really for guitar so I got its brother, the BG 335 and this is a great pedal board all in one. It sounds really good, and you can plug in a headset...

    Buyer wants to return non-defective bass as "defective"

    This is why I never use ebay for selling. Only buying. The ebay rules have become so skewed that if selling were boxing, one person would have their arms cut off and the other would have a baton.

    Replacement pickups

    Hello, After looking at some threads it appears that the best choice for my Dean is some EMG Active Soapbar pickups. I will have to use the 5 string length, even though the guitar is a 4 stringer. My pickups are 4.25" so I will have to fab up a spacer, but that's ok. Anyway I found a set that...

    Hello, If you have a humbucker bass, have any of you done a coil split switch and did you find it useful?

    my bass guitar decisions

    Hello, Right now I have a Dean bass I got used several years ago. This bass has 4 strings, 4 knobs and 2 pickups that are 4.26 long x1.5 wide. Near as I can figure it is a older Edge 1?? Anyway, I believe it used to be a active bass and the old owner got rid of the pre-amp. They did a terrible...

    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    I messed up my hearing through no fault of my own. There was a electric explosion at a plant I used to work at. I was wearing my plugs too. I have tinnitus. The idiot who caused this never was disciplined.

    The Digitech family grows

    I was so impressed with my BP 355 that I bought a RP1000 for the guitar, but I am also wondering if a RP 1000 will work with bass? I started off a few years ago with a Digitech Element XP and now I am moving up a bit, as the element has some limitations.

    BP 355

    My Digitech 355 came and WOW what a great pedal. It has great potential for adjustment, and some of the factor presets are pretty good too. And I have not even explored the looper or Wah, etc. yet. I played it on my Bass, but then I plugged my Gretsch 5620 into it and ran the output to a Line 6...

    BG 355

    I had 30 bucks on my GC gear card so I put it toward a used effects unit with a warranty. It’s a Digitech BG355. I have a Digitech Element XP for the treble stuff and love it. S I was able to get a 355 to my door for 67 dollars. Can’t wait to play with it.

    new bassist here. anyone willing to give advice?

    A few years ago I traded a baritone horn I had in high school for a dean bass a peavy amp and a guitar stand. Instruments and amps lose 60 to 70 percent of their value the minute the debit card clears. So for you amp go to guitar center or the online version get a good bass amp used and buy the...

    Dean rewire questions.

    Hello All, I have a questions about a Dean Bass guitar I have. Im actually not sure of the model #. It is a older model, with the "Birdshead" fretboard. It has 4 strings and 4 controls and 2 soapbar style pickups without any writing on them. It lacks a battery compartment, so I am guessing this...
