With Christmas fast approaching, I need to give the family some suggested gift ideas. I've got plenty of Fenders (the wife got me a Geddy Lee last year fro Xmass). She also just bought me a new cab for my birthday--a nice 410 Avatar that is awesome. Can anyone think of a "must have" that I...

Bass Pros, I'm heading overseas for a six month "vacation" and will be bringing my Macbook and a bass to pass the time. I'm planning on using the Mac's garageband as a way to jam without lugging an amp. What would be the best interface? I've browsed through the posts and found all kinds...

Fellow low enders...I'm heading overseas to support our military members and will be away from my precious tube amps for six months. I'm carrying my laptop computer and am having one of my non-Fender babies shipped to my location. With weight being an issue I'm not lugging an amp. Does anyone...

Be careful with Behringer products. I received a bass head for Christmas and it was heading back to the manufacturer for repairs in March. The sad thing is I still haven';t received my replacement. I've contacted customer service and just keep getting apologies. It's either a warehouse...

Anybody have experience with the Peavey Tour VB-2? I've dug through the threads here and no luck. Sounded great on the floor of the store, but I'm looking for some honest feedback. At $900, an all tube 225W box seems like a great deal. I've never owned a Peavey, but most on-line reviews...

I'll be placing an order today, thanks. I have to learn that when you search TB that speeling matters :) When I spelt Audere correctly I found a ton of info!

Anyone have any thoughts on the Audere preamps? I'm looking for a new pre-amp for my Fender deluxe 4 string and wsa drawn to these. The price seems good and I'm wondering if it really does make a difference from the Fender stock installed?

The canb has a tweter on/off and it's now switched off. Thanks for the recommendation; the hiss has all but disappeared. I love TB!!!!

My wife suprised my this holiday and bought me a new Fender 4 string Deluxe and a new amp setup, Behinger Ultrabass BX4500H head and BA210 cab. Now I realize a Behringer is not going to be top of the line in amplification, but I am a bit disappointed with the amount of hiss. I've replaced...

After I posted it came to me that everyone is going to like different pickups for a million different reasons. My stock pickups sound flat to me, seem to humm a bit and have a "tinny" sound. I could really hear a difference when I put the Ducans in my first bass. As a new bass player that...

I got a Fender Deluxe jaz bass for Christmas and I really want to upgrade the stock pickups. I used some Seymour Duncans on my Ibanez last years and liked the sound. Before I go with them I figured I would ask the world for an opinion. Any suggestions on which pickups would be best for my...
