    Gig Bag recommendations. (High End)

    I am really interested in this thread. I have a Music Man Sterling I would like a gig bag for. I have a hard case, but it is pretty well worn out. I don't travel other than by my car, so a gig bag probably meets my needs best. I am learning towards the Mono Vertigo, but the cost is high for...

    Best budget headphone amp for practice?

    I am using a Nux Might Plugs. I use it to jam along with YouTube via Bluetooth. It does not have any bass setting (even though they advertise that it does). It sounds ok, but the ability to get up and move around is worth it to me. I paid less than $100 for it. I would recommend it for sure.

    Other Kinds of Tuners

    I have been looking at adding a Hipshot Xtender to my bass. My Bass is a 2001 USA made MusicMan Sterling. This has go me thinking about alternative types of tunes that I could swap to that would work without mods. What other tunes are out there in the worlds? I am just researching now, but I...

    Darglass Photon with Fender Rumble

    Hey everyone, I am a question about amp routing but want to be very specific to my situation to make sure I understand. I have played guitar off and on for years and picked up bass around 6 months ago. For the past 20 years, I have played by myself in my bedroom with headphones. Looking at...

    How many of you play both guitar and bass.. .

    I play both. I started on guitar and played off and on for 25+ years. I’ve never been very good, but enjoyed it. I picked up bass about 6 months ago and am already a better bassist than I ever was with guitar. Something about it just seems to click differently in my brain.

    Bass Glut?

    I think you are 100% correct about the glut of cheap basses. I am in the market to upgrade my Squire now, looking for something like a US made Music Man Sterling 4h, but there are a hundred listings for $200 squires, Yamaha and Ibanez for each listing of a mid-grade instrument. Way too many...

    Headphone Amp For Practice

    I am using two of the items that you are discussing, so I have some experience with both. I bought the Nux Mighty Plug because of the advertised bass setting. I plugged it in and paired to my phone to find out that they no longer have specific bass settings. I use a setting for a clean guitar...

    Netflix ending DVD by mail service

    I am in a pretty rural area and have used Netflix in the mail in the past. Up until about 2 years ago we had no high speed internet options. We had a Family video in town and I’m very thankful I was able to take take my 10 year old there up until COVId started. They closed shortly before. I...

    New guy in Michigan

    Hey everyone! I picked up the bass a couple months ago and haven’t been able to put it down. I played guitar off and on for many years, but I think I missed my calling. I should have been playing bass all along. I have a Squire now, but looking to upgrade in the near future. I play by myself...
