    I bought a Behringer Half Stack today, doing something wrong

    rustynuts, I haven't ordered the cables yet. I bought the amp from a friend. They bought it for their bassists who gigged with it once and quit the band. He supposed to bring me the manual. It's at his guitartists house right now. I am going to get one though even if I have to call behringer...

    I bought a Behringer Half Stack today, doing something wrong

    Phatbass, that did seem to work. Or at least help. Turned up to half I can still get the limit light to come on, but it's not as touchy. Turning it down to what I normally play at home, while I'm practicing, it wont come on unless I hit it real hard. Javiaer, I'm going to order those speakon...

    I bought a Behringer Half Stack today, doing something wrong

    I have the output turned almost all the way down, and if I hit the low ends hard the limit light comes on. And if I turn it up the limit light comes on almost all the time and it sounds distorted. It's a 450W half stack. I don't know what I'm doing and I'm frustrated.

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    I just cleaned out my knobs with the air. It made a big difference. I was able to finally use them and clean up my sound. I still have a little of the metalic sound when my fingers slide across the strings, but I was able to get a lot of it out. I can almost match the thick sound of the Epi with...

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    It's a 4 string. No it doesn't have a pre-amp (thanks for explaing that). I have a friend that told me if I take the back off I might be able to spray some canned air in the knobs and maybe clean up the sound (on the Ibanez) a little. I was just about to try that.

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    I really don't know. It just says "TR Series" on it. I couln't find a serial number to look it up earlier. You don't know where the sn would be on these do you?

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    My nephew brought the bass by yesterday. I played it back to back with my Ibanez for most of the night. The two sounds are distinctly different. Compared to the Epi the Ibanez has a much more metalic sound to it, as where there Epi has a deep smooth resonate tone. The action is faster as well...

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    It's my nephew's and he is going to bring it by so I can play it for a while before I decide to buy. I don't have any expierence with anything but Ibanez, so that was my driving force behing buying the Thunderbird. I want to expierence different sounds. I like the sound of my bass. If I don't...

    Have a Ibanez TR series/Should I buy a Epiphone TB?

    I have a Ibanzez TR series 4-string. I have a chance to buy a hardly played Epiphone Thunder Bird for around $200. Should I just keeping learning on the bass I have or get this one? I'm a novice player, just a little better than a complete beginner. I'm to the point where I know notes,cords...

    How do I judge the quality of my bass

    Hi, I'm new here and have been seriously learning and practicing for a little over a month. I'm just playing for my own pleasure. I'm not in a band, and have no plans of it right now. I have a 4 string freted, 3 pickup, Ibanez TR series bass. I bought it off ebay. A couple of weeks ago I...
