    Not completely happy with my Phil Jones cabinets.

    I have 2 Cab 47's. So far so good. My issue is more with my amp, a Hartke TX600, which has a Stacked EQ. I don't really like the stacked eq. Cannot find anyone who can explain it, even a Hartke endorser. (no name because, I did not ask his permission to use his reply to my question to him...

    Phil Jones Bass... really that good?

    That makes sense... a way to get the best of both. I have a project (blues) that will be starting up soon... have been wondering about combining my old 15" with 1or both of my Cab 47s to get the best of both cabinet characteristics. A lot depends on the type of drummer we find, and the touch...

    Hand Issues

    Right On K2 types mk 4 & mk7 Huge!! Taken along with D3 (Magnesium, A & E. ) I take both versions, cover all basses. K2 should be recommended by cardiologists (along with cod liver oil) and in general. At the very least, takes the calcium out of the blood stream and gets it to the bones...

    Hand Issues

    So what's your point?! Are you apologizing for a GMO, chemically altered poison, that is nefariously snuck into "sugar free" products, unbeknownst to a public that is attempting to eat well. To add to that transgression, these companies are given cover by contemptible politicians. You cite...

    Hand Issues

    Thanks for posting this. As I have started working with my primary, two possibilities are, one, injections, two surgery. I was a little unnerved at the possibility of surgery, but your post lets me see it in a new light! A huge thank you!

    Hand Issues

    There is a guy on utube (Dr Eric Berg) that seems to have some very good info on what you posted above and much more. ( my BS meter does not go off with him, as it does with others). The food around the perimeter of the store is, for the most part, whole, unprocessed food. Though not exempt...

    Hand Issues

    I started this thread, because I have developed trigger finger from my pool work outs. Gripping the resistance fins to tightly has resulted a/or exacerbated this condition. I also know that others have this and other hand conditions, hence, the reason for the thread, is to bring to light, as...

    Hand Issues

    Throwing this out. I was wondering what you-all do if you have hand issues. Stiffness, trigger finger?? Throwing this out to get some discussion going on this topic. Would like to get ideas, opinions a/or medical advice about any exercises, routines, heat/cold, stretching, vitamins/minerals...

    Sire M Series Bass Club

    Since I was experimenting with the flats, I went with price. Got some Fenders, E=100, dampen with some foam at the bridge, much of the time. Get a great thunk. Strung them through the bridge, not the body. Gives me a great alternative to playing with rounds. (though, my calluses kind of...
