Thanks for the suggestion @Mohawk . I generally don't connect my speaker at all (I use the MB200 for recording direct out). So the RRoD is happening without the SpeakOn cable connected. I will check the cable for an open, though!

Hi folks, my MB200 has started giving me the "red ring of death." I've spoken to two authorized repair shops in my area, and both tell me that it would probably cost more than it's worth to repair it. So I'll be shopping for a replacement at some point, but was wondering if there's any...

Nice job (and I was prepared to be a scoffer). Wondering how many tracks you used on average?

I got back into the bass after a 10+ year break. Was trying out various Fender Jazz models at my local shop, then tried the SB-2. Fell in love with the snarl, and have never looked back.

I'm currently following @basstheworldcom, @notreble, @BassPlayerNow, @bassfrontiers. Thanks for creating the #talkbass!

Here's my timeline: 1985-ish: Gibson Ripper from classified ad. Start learning how to play this "bass" thing. Throw my shoulder out from the weight. 1987-ish: Sell the Ripper, get a tiger-striped Peavey Fury. Start playing in bands. 1989-ish: Decide, after hearing "Owner of a Lonely Heart", that...

I'm looking to hear some good bass playing in Atlanta, and it occurred to me that there is probably some fantastic Black gospel music to be found here. Anyone know of Atlanta-area players or churches where the bass player really shines? TIA.
