HOWDY EVERYONE-- I need some advice from some experienced bass speaker people here. I have half of a 70's AMPEG 8 x 10 that my old friend sawed in two--back in the 80's or early 90's. I have had several rounds of EMINENCE 10" speakers in there but I blew them up. I don't tour or anything...

Can someone elaborate a bit on these newer developments with tube amps? Perhaps there would be a way to describe what amp builders are doing with some of the ideas that Muziekschuur mentioned--- but not in crazy tech terms?

sorry. i was trying to be funny-- reading these forums late night. seriously, good luck with your basses, amp, and speakers. your floor is fine. peace. :D

why don't you take a break from playing bass for 15 minutes and clean your floor. gross dude.

I played bass in a band that opened up for THE FALL back in the early 2000's. ( our band was pretty much unknown back then--later we did alright for ourselves on a college radio/ "independent rock" level ) The show was at the KNITTING FACTORY in NYC. It was pretty close to sold out-- really...

* IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER * 1. CLIFF BURTON - (intro) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS. One of the greatest injustices (FOR ALL) in music history has to be the level of Cliff's bass tracks on the Metallica recordings. They should be ashamed of themselves. YouTube - Metallica - For Whom The Bell...

thanks for the help. makes common sense. :)

hello out there-- i recently had a very talented luthier make some amazing repairs/adjustments and do an overall set up on my acoustic bass guitar. the bass plays great. the action is about as low as you could ever want it. the A & D string buzz when played open. the E & G are fine. the...

i have a guild b 50. the strings sit properly through the nut. the string placement shifts towards the G string --moving towards the bridge. the G string is too close to the edge of the finger board. i posted this in other forums and got good ideas. most think that the bridge holes were...

thank you beej.

:confused:i need some advice/knowledge here. i play a guild b 50. plays great. the way the bone was cut, looks original, the strings align in a way that has the G string slightly closer to the edge of the neck. the E string is in a good spot. the spacing between the other strings is equal...

Invalid Link Removed MUSIC/ ART are like flavors or colors. there is no BEST. just different and awesome. some days you taste cherry---some days lime is the best. all the bassists mentioned here are incredible. there must be thousands of unknown musicians that will never be scoped...
