my boss bought monoprice stuff for our live sound setup. looked nice. felt nice. performed nice, for a few weeks. now they're falling apart and we're throwing them away one by one and making them buy us whirlwind stuff. cheap cables are such a daily time drain on professional gigs. if...

in all three cases, the weakest link in this whole chain is the mbox a-d convertors:hiding:

I have noticed that MM's are more particular to having a good setup, especially when I play them in stores. When they are set up well, they play as well as anything out there. I know they are great to play, but sometimes I pick them up in stores and they aren't even enjoyable, while a P or J...

I know this might sound wierd or obsesive, but when i know I'm not playing bass for more than 4-5 days at a time, i burn my fingertips ever so slightly with a lighter, just to keep them tough. Also, I think the fact that I change the roundwound strings on my electric once a week, and also play...

+1 to this entire thread! I'm a 10 year electric player, 6 months upright player, and using drones has been one of the best pieces of advice I've received on this crazy instrument

PM me I know lots of people in the SF bay area

If you're near San Francisco, Gelb Music in Redwood city (about 30 minutes south) is an amazing shop for bass gear, although $1500 won't fetch much there that you couldn't just find at GC. They have Lull, Lakland, Sadowsky, Roscoe, etc. If you can come up with $2k, the Sadowsky and Mike Lull...

The one I saw in the store, Haight Ashbury Music Center in San Francisco, for the same price as the one in the link I posted, was Made in Japan. I'm pretty sure the one in the link, and any "70s p bass" for this price, is MIJ

I have been meaning to buy this book... ordering it now!

Made in Japan

really? i've never seen a pic or video of this maple board bass. he is always shown with this rose board bass: http://www.bassland.net/jamerson.jpg this would be what i would buy if money were no object, but i've played this bass and i'm not sure the difference is worth $750 more for me...

I am in a soul band and have been wanting a p bass strung with flats for a while. I was in a shop a few weeks ago and fell in love with this new offering from fender: Invalid Link Removed What is people's experience with flatwounds on maple vs rosewood? I've never had a maple fretboard...

I fell in love with this bass at a shop in San Francisco last weekend. Planning on putting it on layaway next week. I've been looking around for p basses for a year, with plans on happily dropping $2k on the right one if I had to, but this thing showed up for $850, with perfect neck and...

Ibanez? Spector?!? Don't listen to these people. +1 MIA Fender P or J +1 5502 also check out G&L, they make great basses in this price range. If it was me I'd shop for a used Fender J or P bass. If I had to pick P or J, I'd go with J.

"noise" could mean anything. be more specific? post some samples? :hmm: use a denoise plugin with a "learn" function, find a part where there's only noise, no bass, hit "learn", and then push up the de-noise fader until you just barely take the noise out
