I am glad you are able to laugh. Im just now getting there. This stupid bass has me so angry. Wanted one for 20 years... meanwhile, I purchased a Warwick Thumb Pro Series... which is quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever had my hands on. it plays absolutely like a dream!

good day everyone! I finally got my bass back from Sweetwater..... I took this bass up there in person. spent time with the tech, the whole bit. i love these guys. but... I let the bass sit inside the house for 2 days to acclimate just like they suggest. took guitar out...have not even plugged...

Well I took it to sweetwater and dropped it off for a Flecking and full setup. spent a good deal of time with the tech, who was also a bass player. he agreed it was kind of weird, but was confident he would work it out. And...while I was there, I bought a new Warwick Thumb Pro Series.... so...

haha, thanks bro! i got them to take 10% off before i left with it just because it was obvious some moron had put their fingers on it before. i wasnt too worried because I literally do this type of work all the time, and have forever. man i screwed with this last night for hours. i think that i...

Yeah. It’s buzzing up high. By the time I get the buzz out, the action is too high. I think I’m more irritated that my old beater I’ve had since 2000 plays better, and has a better fret job than this $2600 bass. I’ve never done any shimming. I really hate even thinking about doing that. Seems...

hey everyone! thanks for all the replies!! WOW! ok, so backstory, i bought this bass barely used from GC in Cincinnati. i knew immediately someone had put their fingers in it. the pickup height was all wacked, pickup screw heads stripped. several screws in the pickguard were cammed out and...

yeah, ive gone through it and set it up how i typically set my basses up. i prefer a low action fast/easy playing feel. doesnt appear to be any warping. neck relief looks great. iv been working out string buzz for a bit now. for some reference, ive been doing this for 30 years. a handful of...

I just purchased a 4 string stingray HH in Brule. I knew the setup was crap when i bought it. Ive now been messing with it for a while, and I cannot get this thing set up right. this guitar just feels like it wants to fight me. is this some typical feel for these basses? My old Washburn RB2000...

LOL, just because i had never seen them before and they were cheap. i just like to play with old weird speakers.

i just bought a pair of these. I thought i was pretty well versed in old Peavey gear..but, i have never seen these. there are no markings that say what model they are. there is a 15, then a 12, then the CD horn. thank you guys!

The TT800 is my next stop. I wish I’d bought it first! Having 2 channels would be so handy. We do funk and classic rock. I have a markbass ninja as well. I can tell you the Mesa is better. It seems like I can hear a better separation of notes with my Mesa. It also seems to have a friendlier...

I was a “if it doesn’t have tubes and weigh 40 lbs it ain’t good” guy..... then I bought a Mesa D800. just my humble opinion, but a quality class D is lacking nothing in my book. this little amp embarrasses anything else I have owned. It makes my SVT3 pro look like a practice amp. Nothing but...

What a bummer man. If it was mine I’d pop a new tube in there to replace the flashing one and see what happens.

Here’s my old Sunn 215S cab. Was running a Tmax back then. Running Subway D800 now. love this thing

I insulate my cabs on all sides except the baffle. I like to use heavy carpet pad. It’s cheap and works very well. It seems to sound very tight with no boom or mud. Plus it stays in place very well
