    How many Precision bassists does it take to change a light bulb.

    If it's a ceiling light, just remove the light bulb. You can never have enough headroom.

    I know I want a tube amp. Now what?

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the V4B. They're a bit harder to come by, but they are cheaper and lighter than the SVT, and have gobs of simple tubey goodness. 100 watts from that head has been quite sufficient for any gig I have played, though I bring more cabs and have PA support for...

    Microphone to "de-bassify" my voice?

    If you're looking for a cost effective live performance mic, check out the Audix OM2 and OM3, I've found them to be less boomy with enhanced clarity. The OM3 might be better for your needs.

    Problems With Ampeg SVP 1500

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Sorry, I'm too lazy to repeat myself here.

    Ampeg 8-10ers

    Bed liner is good and tough, applied thickly enough. You might also add some skid rails to it, some Ampeg 810s and 610s came with them. Just black plastic strips affixed to the back of the cab that allow you to lay the cab on its back to slide it into your van/suv/truck without tearing the tolex.

    B2R buzz when used with SVPCL

    Something doesn't add up there.:confused: Safe? Not really. Done frequently? Yes. Power conditioner help? No I'd try using the xlr balanced out, it is transformer isolated and has a ground lift switch. Problem here is that it bypasses the master volume on the preamp. Using the...

    B2R buzz when used with SVPCL

    Possibly a bad ground on the B2R Power amp in jack? Plug your cable in to the jack, at the other end of the cable short the tip to the sleeve with a piece of wire, the hum should stop. If it does not, the B2R is at fault. If it does stop, there's something else going on. (duh)

    2000w+ power amp suggestions?

    Crate BV300H.....They're absolutely brutal! I've seen no mention in this thread about cabinets or tones. Efficient cabs with proper eq settings will go further than a 25% wattage increase over your 4PRO. I hope you all use hearing protection. You may need athletic cups with that kind of...

    Buttkicker or Aura Bass Shaker.

    I need more tension on jazz with flats

    I have the 9050MLs on a P-Bass and a Yamaha BB fretless, which has a very thin Jazz-like neck. Love 'em on both, they have great thump and tone, silky feel, as well as very stable tuning. Yes, a truss rod adjustment will be in order. With the higher tension,lower action is usually possible...

    Help with amp selection

    Find a better tech? Sounds like you're tired of taking it in for repairs, not getting it fixed. If it were fixed, then we wouldn't be here now. If you like the sound & look of the amp, it's worth getting it fixed for real. If there is a known engineering issue, such as heat, then surely...

    AMPEG SVT III problem

    Try rebooting it, run a virus scan. Might have to back up to last restore point. All else fails, reinstall the OS.
