    Rickenbaker 4003

    Took me a while to get used to it. That neck hurt to play for the first week or so. Now it's been my main bass for 4 years. Looks different. Sounds different.

    Are Randall bass cabinets worth the money?

    Yeah I'm sure with the one you're looking at you'll get a MASSIVE low end tone out of that! Whatever you decide to do keep us updated!

    Are Randall bass cabinets worth the money?

    Here's my Randall. Like I said, almost identical minus the side bass ports. It did me well, I liked the sound of it. I was playing a 4003 Rickenbacker into a Sansamp Programmable DI with an Ampeg SVT 7 PRO amp. I liked the tone, but couldn't really get the mids and highs I wanted.

    Is there any way to test play the Randall in the pawn shop? Give it a rattle, if you like what you hear then thats all there is to it

    Are Randall bass cabinets worth the money?

    Whoa! I didn't know anyone else had these! I actually used a variation of this cab for a while. It's A randall 215, jaguar speakers, but mine doesn't have the huge bass ports on the side. When I get home I'll post a picture of it. I thought it was a pretty decent cab, it could get plenty loud...

    Ampeg 610

    The house show last night was really fun! This cab sounds great! Obviously playing inside a house I had to really watch my volume and it didn't help that I was put in the corner of the room so I had to control the low end a bit. Being able to get the mids and highs to come out clean without...

    Ampeg 610

    Can it really? I've been playing bass for 16 years, but believe it or not I'm just recently (last year) getting into amps and cabs. I don't think I'd ever turn it up full blast, more like 1 o clock. Will I blow the horn if the attenuator on the back of the cab is cranked up, but the master...

    New to active basses... why am I clipping?

    I'm using a pad now for the first time in my life. Passive bass, going into a Sansamp, then an SVT 7 PRO. However the gain on the Sansamp is up a bit and I crank the gain on the amp almost all the way up

    Ampeg 610

    I had a full band rehearsal with this last night and it KILLED. What I notice the most is how much my high frequencies really sang through in the mix, not too overpowering, just enough to hear it all with the full band still rocking in front of it. I'm still working on dialing in a tone that I...

    Which Songs From Your Childhood Influenced You The Most?

    Led Zeppelin 1. Good Times Bad Times. Those bass solos made me want to learn the instrument

    New to active basses... why am I clipping?

    What was your Sansamp settings at? You said it was sounding bad when you go through that, yet I go through a Sansamp and it sounds great. Any way to make a quick youtube video to show your settings and play it a bit? Or at least take some pics of your settings. It may give us a better...

    New to active basses... why am I clipping?

    How low are those strings? They're not slapping the pickups, are they?

    Anyone play the new Fender Pro Series?

    I would love to play on the new Fender Pro Jazz, but I'm curious on how different it is to the American Standard. Considering I don't own any of those basses, I'm calling on anyone who has played both and can give some insight. Thanks for any help!

    STANDALONE PROBLEM / AMPEG hlf 610 VS GK 410rbh / VolumeVsPortability

    Also for loudness, that all depends on the venue you'll play at. If there isn't a sound engineer/no mic or DI for the bass, then I can only assume that it's not too large of a venue in which case almost size cab (except maybe a practice amp) would suffice. Any decent sized venue will have a...

    STANDALONE PROBLEM / AMPEG hlf 610 VS GK 410rbh / VolumeVsPortability

    Just need to EQ is all, just like with any cab. I just purchased a 610 and I couldn't be happier. It is definitely NOT boomy. I'm using a 4003 Ric into a sansamp DI, and an Ampeg SVT 7 Pro. It's got GREAT punch, it really does remind me of the ampeg fridge, but if you don't have a tour...
