I'm from Sacramento and I'm looking to buy an upright bass. My jazz buddies have been urging me to make the change. I'm looking to stay under 2k and like the idea of finding a local dealer to look to for advice, set up and repairs. I'm fine with going at least as far as the sf bay area. Or...

I used one at a gig last night. We are a 4 piece jazz combo - light drums, bass, keyboard, trumpet/vocals - and were playing a large backyard party. We had a keyboard and several mics plugged in, but I also patched my bass into the Stagepas 500 so it could be heard easily in the mix. My main...

Is it rat fur or rhino coated?

I'm interested but I would really like to be sure it's 4 OHMs. Can pay with Paypal.

I played the SVT-3Pro with the 410HLF for the last two years until my 3Pro gave a pop, smoked, and died. I replaced it with a Markbass F1 and much prefer my new tone. It's tighter, punchier, a bit more powerful, and it cuts through the mix without being muddy. And at 4 1/2 pounds it fits...

Is it gone? If not, I'll get in line.

It's also important to know the I-VII chords within a key. Then you understand why the C is hiding in the Am7. Am7 is the VI chord of C and is built using the notes of the C major scale only the root is the sixth step of the C scale: A. The flat third and flat seventh give the chord its...

I've been a/b ing the F1 an LM2 to death with an Ampeg 410HLF. Given that bass is felt as well as heard, the F1 feels better, and the LM2 sounds more musical and melodic. My son, after being drawn into the comparison, said the LM2 sounded nice, but the F1 was fun. One base reward I get for...

I've been using an SVT3Pro with an 410 HLF for the last two years. The SVT just crapped out so I went out and got a Markbass F1. What an improvement. The lows are round, the mids are punchy and there's no muddiness. Tweaks of the eq and filters create a significant number of useful tones...

My Ampeg SVT3Pro just crapped out. A spark followed by some smoke from the right rear side. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a GK 700rbii or a 1001rbii, but I can decide which. The warranty isn't transferable, and I just had a supposedly solid amp die on me, so I'm thinking of buying...

I replaced the 12au7 with one from Skip's Music in Sacramento for $11.95 and the tube gain is up and running again. No more pops. Before I replaced the old 12au7, I noticed that it glowed less brightly than the rest of my 12ax7s. My new 12au7 is glowing just a bright or brighter than the rest...

My SVT3 Pro also pops intermittently and loudly, but only when I have the tube gain turned up. When I have the tube gain dialed all the way off there is no problem. I've tried switching the 12ax7 tubes from the pre-amp with the one in the tube drive but have the same problem. I'm thinking...
