I just picked up a classic vibe 70s jazz bass (in picture) and am extremely happy with the quality. I've had other squier instruments in the past that were also great but this one just feels different. Played it alongside "better" basses and found it was the same if not better than higher priced...

Thank you all! I grew up playing guitar and picked up the bass in college. Played bass in an indie rock band while getting my master's degree, but that was about 7 years ago now haha! Overall probably 3-4 years of solid experience and recently started picking it back up again. My journey with...

Coming back to TalkBass after a few years. Just picked up a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass and a Rumble 25 for practice. Love the tone out of the small package for sure!

Get ready for lots of practice time. You really have to love music to do it. Everyone goes in with the intention of doing it because they love it. But some people get burnt out because they may have to practice songs they don't want to learn or work with musicians they don't want to work with...

I was thinking about that too. I really don't have a problem with my amp but I would like a 4 ohm cab to get full power. For now, I may just upgrade my cab to save myself some money.

Thanks for the input everyone. Lots of this stuff is exactly what I was thinking I just wanted to hear it from fellow TB'ers

Thank you I was hoping I wasn't the only one that thought it was ridiculous haha

What I mean by this is a full tube preamp and full tube power section. I will be upgrading my current set up soon to a better amp and cab to get more power and a bigger/better sound. A friend of mine plays through an Ampeg SVT-CL and I know that this is one of the best amps out there. But he...

just got a sweeper recently and love it.

I'm looking for a pedal that I can use to boost my tone. Not necessarily an overdrive type pedal (although it can have that option) but basically something that just gives my signal an overall boost. I've done research myself and would be considering the Xonix RC booster or possibly the Aguilar...

I was wondering about this. I just tried it with mine (I had one sitting around because I used to primarily play guitar). I dialed the distortion all the way down the level all the way up and the tone around noon. Actually got a pretty good driven sound out of it. may try it out in my loop and...

Looking for overdrive suggestions that would pair well with my M80.

That's what I was planning on doing anyway and that's what I figured. Just didn't know what difference the sound guy's DI box made and if the M80 would do something similar.

Hey guys I had a question about using my MXR M80. First of all let me describe the situation. At my last gig, the sound guy used their own DI box. Basically I plugged my bass into the DI box and then he used a small patch cable to plug into my amp, then the XLR went out the back, into his PA...
