The bass in the video is not the one in the recording, FYI. The recorded bass is my Kiesel PB5.

OP here: thanks for all the input! You all have given me some good insight. I think that I gotten the impression of "lossless selling" from those who are thoughtful and careful in their buying and selling. In contrast, I was thinking about things from my stupid and careless perspective: only...

I get the impression from many online discussions that it is possible to sell gear without losing a lot of money. My experience has been different: it seems like I can't get things to sell, unless I drop the price to about half the current new price for the item. For the record, the items...

I ran into this issue with my high output bass. I was just slamming the compressor too hard. I was able to get rid of the distortion easily by both decreasing the input, and slowing the attack. Now, I have realized that I actually can like the way the compressor sounds when pushed too hard...

OP here: thanks for all the input! I have some good ideas now. My initial thought had been selling the 4OTF and getting something smaller. As I've been thinking about it, I just don't know that I can part with the 4OTF. I really do like it. I'm still interested in finding something smaller...

Not sure, exactly but not much. I'm just trying to determine what is out there, in terms of what I'm looking for. I certainly wouldn't go over $200, in case.

Since this is the first time a question like this has ever been asked on TB........:rollno::rollno: Anyway, I am looking for something very specific. 1. A mild low gain overdrive. Something that simulates a "pushed" tube amp. The idea is for use as an "always on" type tone enhancer, not...

How sad. :crying: The Breakup Song has always been a favorite of mine. I enjoyed hearing him DJ a show that was carried by a local rock station. Used to listen to him play rock tunes, tell stories, etc. while at work. Always enjoyed his show.

I have a PB5. In my opinion, it is the best bass I have ever owned. The feel in my hands, the playability, and the tone, all blow me away. I ordered mine with the active electronics option, as well as an optional humbucker in the bridge position. I like all the sounds it can create, but I find...

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

Anyone familiar with this? Thanks!

There is a plan underway for my "band" (a few guys that sometimes jam a little) to try playing live this summer (open stage thing at county fair.) One song that the guitar player (and "band leader") want to cover is this: Other than this YouTube link, I know nothing about it. Any info on the...

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I now have some good options to consider, and compare. I will have to sell a few things in order to pick up an amp, so I have a little time to decide. Thanks again for the input!

My trusty little combo amp seems to be dying, and I am look into possible replacement options. It has been so long since I have shopped for amps that I don't really have good feel what is out there now. My current amp a is Carvin, 100 watt combo, with one 10" speaker. I have had this thing...

Here is another "before and after" in my journey of trying to learn mixing. Original: Remix: Again, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on if my remix is an improvement or not. Thanks!
