All I can say for certain is the thing can either tip toe or it can just whomp (both highly technical terms) Peavey in general was really a victim of snobbery and 'what the beautiful people' campaigned against on multiple platforms. I have a USA Firenza P90 I use on almost every project that...

Thanks for the info...Never heard of it as a 2000, but that means nothing...here's some pics as of this morning.

Great analog preamps with line level feeds have been around a lot longer than digital and IRs…and will be long after the modeling, IR, etc craze is replaced with something else. Just opinion, but getting something that doesn’t require updates is very appealing, sound (IMO) noticeable superior...

Been a while since I hung around here, found this thread (maybe again? Dunno) Anyway, while looking for something else, re-discovered my 95 Foundation that I had mostly forgotten I had, stashed in a gig bag, stuffed between blankets. Its been several years since its been played. Took it out...

Big fan of half rounds on my Mustang PJ...rarely use a pick live, even more rare in recorded context. One thing about half or full flat wounds I 'discovered' years ago is they are very sensitive to where they are plucked, relative to neck and pickup locations. Rolling back to tone control and...

At my age, a pair of Phil Jones Compact 4 Cabs...800 watts, 29 lbs each. Low frequency cutoff 30 Hz, and they sound amazing

First time I played a bass guitar was at a military rec center, 1969 or so...and it was because of the military brat youth allowed access to the instruments, there were too many guitar 'players' and no bass 'players' at a particular jam session. We drew straws, and holding the short one, I got...

I certainly understand the sentiment, and can honestly say quite a few of us have been in a similar predicament at some point. Yet, just as the feeling of abandonment comes along, so can the pull of music occur, be it slowly or all at once being asked to play a gig or sit in at a jam, or just...

I can honestly say the only pedal I've used on a bass gig was a phase shifter...back in the 70's...to get the bass lines right for Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It"

These signs

When I run DI instead of micing up an amp, I typically use a Mesa Subway+. When I choose this route for whatever reason, I generally run the Mesa directly to the analog to digital convertor bypassing other preamps (Ive got some pretty good preamps, NEVE, API, etc). As for running free of...

Never any need to apologize for missing old friends

After 50 years of gigging, finally broke down and got one of these. One gig will see a 410 bass cab and head, the next a 112 guitar cab, tube head, pedal board, and cable bag. Carries everything except mic stands easily. Rolls over most everything except mud

Good western boots have been the only things I've worn on my feet since junior high school, save for some western styles chuccas. The majority of that time Justins,Dan Post, or Noconas were chosen, but as I chronologically ripened, found my way to some other brands, such as the Larry Mahan line...

Recording the Beatles by Brian Kehew describes almost every step taken in the process of nearly every session the Beatles recording history from start to finish. Out of print now, with used copies going for $1000 and up, it details what instruments were used, what amps were used, what mics, even...
