    Single Coil Bartolini Mk1 Replacement

    The Mk1 are sized at 4.25 by 1.33. If the Aguilars are 4.25 by 1.25, would they fit okay...?

    Single Coil Bartolini Mk1 Replacement

    I've been highly considering buying an Ibanez SR505. I love playing it, it feels fantastic. It is, after all, in the same family of basses that I learned to play on. However, I've never been a huge fan of humbucker pickups in general (other than Music Man). So, I'm wondering if there's a single...

    Fender Stack - Is This An Issue

    I was looking at the specs for the Fender Super Bassman (not the Pro; the blonde/oxblood one here) as well as the matching 410 and 610 combos (found here and here respectively). I've noticed the wattage of the head is well under the rating for the cabinets. Should I worry about this? Will it be...

    A bass you always wanted, until you played one...

    For me, it was: The SBMM Ray basses. I had heard that they were great and were almost like the real deal but they just aren't for me. There's no specific issue I had with it. It just didn't feel right. A lot of basses due to neck finishes. For whatever reason, I just have not been able to play...

    Sell me on a tube amp!

    I know Ampegs are classic and Orange are the ideal rock amp for a lot of people, but I got the chance to play through a Mesa Boogie Bass Prodigy and I just about crapped my pants. It sounds amazing. I think it would most certainly work for the kind of music you're playing. I don't necessarily...

    Replacing Cabinet Speakers

    This question was brought up mostly out of curiosity, partially for future reference. I've done lots of research and can't seem to find anything about this. If I wanted to replace the speakers in a 4X10 cab with 4 Eminence Legend B810, each one rated at 150 watts, would that mean the cabinet as...

    Questions About Cabs and Watts

    I was going to attempt looking this up, but I had no idea how to word it in google or what keywords to use in the forum search, so I came to this. Does it make a huge difference tone-wise or electronics-wise if the power amp I'm using supplies a wattage significantly lower than the wattage that...

    Tool Bass tone with a sansamp

    I'm not gonna lie to you, I haven't read much of this thread, mostly the title, so maybe someone has said this before, but it's gonna take more than one pedal to get his killer tone. That being said, a Sansamp is a great way to start. :)

    Recommend Any Distortion Pedals?

    I'm a big fan of metalcore/deathcore, and I'm looking to start a five-piece deathcore band with several of my friends. I'm looking to begin using a tone technique very common in that scene for studio sound, but not commonly done live (among the well-known bands in the genre, anyway), which is...

    I'm not seeing a lot of love for les paul basses

    For some reason, in my mind, the Les Paul bass has always been that bass that someone picks up when they first want to start playing bass. They see that it's an iconic shape, but they will eventually learn it's an iconic guitar shape, not bass. I'm the same way about Explorer-shaped basses :P It...

    Sansamp BDDI + Darkglass B7K (Series/Parallel)

    Would it be possible for you guys to post sound clips or videos or something? :)

    Sansamp BDDI + Darkglass B7K (Series/Parallel)

    Has anyone tried these in series and/or parallel? (In place of the BDDI could be any of the Sansamp bass preamps) I've heard/read that a lot of people prefer one style of tone over the other, either big, fat, warm Bass Driver, or crisp, crunchy, modern B7K. But why not have the best of both...
