    Talk to me about compressors/compression...

    I'm very curious about how to properly use compression, what (preferably pedal) compressors you recommend, and a good baseline (no pun intended) where to start as far as dialing in ratio/threshold, etc. I'm a rock bassist who primarily uses a pick. I currently play in a hardcore/punk band, and...

    Jazz bass body with p bass pickup/neck...

    Gorgeous bass! And I appreciate your (and everyone's) advice. That's the pickguard and position I'll be using.

    Jazz bass body with p bass pickup/neck...

    I should add .. I don't wanna spend $2000 on his new signature, when I'm fine with Mexican made components, and have the ability to modify those parts.

    Jazz bass body with p bass pickup/neck...

    I gotta ask this, because it seems Mark Hoppus (bassist for blink 182... Please reserve your opinions on regarding his playing style, etc.) redesigned his signature Fender bass (previously a jazz bass body/neck with just a p bass pickup). Now it's a jazz bass body, but with a p bass neck...

    Ampeg BSE 410hlf crossover bulb solution?

    The rep that I spoke to was the guy I was directed to when I called Yamaha/ampeg and inquired about the bulb (and parts in general). He said ampeg doesn't carry them for resale, and the only source he could give me was loudtechnologies.eu part number (49-205-01). It's a $5 bulb, but shipping...

    Ampeg BSE 410hlf crossover bulb solution?

    I know this topic is covered at least a few times on here, but I have a question that I haven't seen posted/answered. As per the year/model specs of my BSE 410HLF cab, and I formation I've gotten from an Ampeg rep, this bulb is a 36watt 1.5amp Sylvania bulb. The automotive type, about the size...

    Esp/ltd replacement neck.

    I have an LTD Surveyor 4. It's less than 10 years old, but has a lot of miles on it. In the last year or so, I noticed the neck bend/flexes as I play and move on stage... So much to a point that I can hear it affecting pitch. The neck responds to truss rod adjustments, so I know it's not loose...
