i'll be the first person to say it I guess buy used

lived fast and hard in college. Got high a lot on a few things, dealt a lot of pot, got arrested. Depaul does not welcome me back (go figure) messed up some serious opportunity. However All that got me into a 12 step program, 22 months sober, happy, and grateful for sobriety, the little I...

This entire thread is awesome. i can vouch for the guy who says nt to wash your hair, I used to not wash more than once a week, I also had rats in my apartment so it was just cause i used to be really scummy but i was scummy with great hair.

any bass players gonna be at vapebash this weekend? btw an above post mentions hearing.... my nightime tv watching volume has reduced by 3-4 clicks and is still too loud, my bass has new dimensions and shoot, well I feel like friggin batman now with all my senses operating better. This is only...

For a two cab setup you will likely be relying on math that says 8 ohm cab+8 ohm cab=4 ohm load going from the amp to the cabs. or 4+4=2 ohm load. What you want is to have the speakers = the lowest number of ohms that your amp can safely send signal to. These numbers should all be printed...

whether or not the money isnt important to me or if I don't want to be a super capitalist penny pincher...I mean shoot I'm a heavy marxist sympathizer and I still need to realize that I live in a capitalist society, I gotta pay rent and trading a $valuable bass for a bass I won't be able to sell...

Fair enough, and that was the case I was making for the carvin, but its really not the carvin I would choose, and I'm gonna wait it out and se if I can't do better later. plus I own a fender jazz, a fender fretless jazz, a modulus flea, and the wick. Relatively big differences between them...

quirks= single coil hum, could use a good sheilding, balance and weight that grew on me as a problem, and a nick on the top of the headstock that one might not notice right away (prev owner, probably hit the ceiling but the bass isn't affected by it) I wouldn't try to sneak "quirks" under the...

I found a craigslister who might trade me HIS: Carvin BB75, from early 90's, JJ config, looks in okay condition for MY: Warwick german corvette JJ passive black finish good condition but I know all of its quirks and its got belt rash on the back from the previous owner Please give me...

I hated pbasses until I stopped trying to make it sound like my Jazz... Still don't own one but now that I realize that for my own taste I have to adjust the attack/style/technique/EQ to a Pbass and not to a modified jazz or modulus I've started to always like playing them in store. Sometimes I...

Basically the same question asked in this thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/replacing-12ax7-hartke-lh-1000-a-965217/ But the Warwick Quad VI runs basically a full tube amp into a Mosfet power amp (I think, read it in a magazine article, link to article upon request). I would think...

on to the next one on to the next one

thanks mr. foxen, I had a sneaking suspicion that this is the case but I figured I'd ask, I still might try a few dif tube replacements in both my amps just for the experience.

trust me I've been doing some reading of old threads and such but I haven't found an answer to this particular question: I have a Hartke LH series amp...and I love it. Any complaints I have are minimal considering the $408 out the door for 1000 watts of good amp. Complaints: Little bit...

Done the bracing with 1" dowels, did not pad for a couple reasons (money being one) Two side to side, two up and down, and there was already front to back so for now I didn't add any more front to back. It sounds great, low end sounds more thick and easy, and the high end is clear and less...
