If anyone has ever played a 70's P-bass they know the pickup is really uncomfortable to rest your thumb on because it has a protruding screw. I have an actual thumb rest on the bass, but for whatever reason my thumb always defaults to the pickup. I also like the tone better when played around...

I was playing my bass through my Ampeg SVT-3 head in my Bergantino NV610 and for certain reasons I had to boost the bass super high. The next day I plugged in my bass and it sounds like the top right speaker is somehwat blown/torn/or something. When I boost the bass on my ampeg I can hear the...

Thanks for the info. Think I'm gonna go with the MXR

Wondering if anyone has experience with this pedal. A guy is selling one locally for $50 and I am thinking about picking it up. Would I be better off buying a pedal meant just for bass? How is the tracking? I won't be playing any chords. I heard that it can be a tone sucker, even though it...

If a FOB bass line "written" by Pete Wentz took you 30 minutes to learn then that may explain why you don't understand the Pete bashing and you think it is fun to play. He sits on the root of whatever the guitar is playing, I would not even call it a bass line. He is taking up low frequencies...

My last post was a bit heated due to my disappointment of the Hi-Beams. I understand that a lot of people like Hi-Beams on stingrays, and my opinion is no more valid than anyone else. My favorite set of stings was steel DR's. I just got this stingray last week and I needed to put new string...

I put the stings I usually use on my old G&L (cuz like I said the SR5 is new) and I HATED IT. I put on DR Hi-Beams and it sounded like total crap. They were way to high and sharp. So now I am out $35, which is what I tried to avoid by posting this questions. IMO DR Hi-Beams and most...

Well, I am wondering what gauge to go with for the B. I actually just got the bass and have not put a new set of stings on it. Is 130 the best to go with since it will be less "floppy" or should I go with 120/125?

I am going into the studio soon and I want to get the best set of strings for recording. I have a 1990 musicman stingray 5. I love DR's but I am not sure how they will come across in the studio. We are going to mic my cab, which is a Bergantino NV 6X10 and Ampeg SVT-3, not sure what mic we...

The SR5 with the alnico pickups....

The bass is in really good condition for its age. Only one small nick on the bottom, otherwise it looks just like a newer one. How much do you think it is worth?

I have the opportunity to buy either a late 80's maybe early 90's stingray 5 for about $1,100 or a 2005 Stingray 5 for $950. I want to know if there is a big difference between the two. I have seen some threads that claim the older 5 stings have more of that classic growling MM sound that the...

That Source Audio Multiwave is awesome! Thanks. That may be better than the EHX because it has presets, and I do not need all of the other sound effects that other bass synth pedals offer. Are there any other bass multiwave distortion pedals like that?

What I am looking for is an analog synth like distortion/fuzz. I am not sure if it is the saw, sine, or other type of wave that creates that. The BMS sounds more warm and fuzzy, and the SS sounds metallic and seams to utilize crazy synth sounds that would not sit well in any mix. I love the...

I am looking for a good analog fuzz/saw wave sound. I do not want a lot of the crazy synth sounds that the Boss and many other pedals provide, and I can not afford an Octavius or the Akai Deep Impact. I know the EHX does not have any presets, and that is why I was thinking about the Markbass...
