    My Band is giving away an Amp-Will this work?

    I would participate. Let us know if you go through with this and I'm sure you will get lots of feedback from talkbass if you are giving away an amp. As long as its legal as BurningSkies said.

    Drummer doldrums

    Has anyone had success in getting a drummer to go from "going through the motions" to playing dynamically and interactively with the band? Right now our drummer plays in time but he does not play with the theme or direction of the song. He puts random fills in where he wants. He plays catch up...

    Mark Michell and Scale The Summit

    Just wanted to revive this old thread to say I bought the bass tab book for The Migration and it is awesome! Great rhythm workout and fun to play. I play it on a 5 string. Also check out Pomegranate Tiger if you like Scale the Summit.

    Zoom MS-60B (part 2)

    I've seen a few posts that seem to indicate recording direct to a computer with the ms60b. Anyone care to explain how this is done? My computer sees the ms60b when I plug it in with a USB cable, but Audacity doesn't see it. Is it possible to record with only a USB cable direct to the computer...

    Ampeg SVT-CL rear cover replacement

    I picked up a used USA SVT-CL head, but it was missing the metallic black grill on the back side that protects the tubes and transformers. I measured it and it is 22"x6.5". Anyone know if you can buy a replacement grill? Or has anyone made one themselves? Did a search on here and on google but...

    Action or relief first

    Got it thanks. I guess this test will work regardless if the action is messed up.

    Action or relief first

    I'm new to doing my own setups. I've read and watched videos, feel like I can give it a shot. One question, how do you know if the truss rod needs adjustment if the action is already messed up? In other words, what if the relief is ok, but the action is totally wonky, but according to most...

    Your favorite online places to buy books?

    Abe Books. They have sales and free shipping sometimes. Can also get killer deals on used books. I've gotten excellent condition books for a couple bucks with free shipping. No joke. Good deals for college/uni students too. When I was in school I regularly got brand new textbooks there for...

    Whoa! New appreciation for Ampeg SVT-CL

    I pretty much had this exact experience recently after playing through a PF500 for a year. I noticed the dynamics immediately through the SVTcl that were missing in the PF500. I like the PF500, but it made me lazy with the built in compressor. I'll need to brush up on right hand dynamics.
