I bought one of these for my Sentinel. https://www.amazon.com/Levys-Leathers-Electric-Backpack-LVYELECTRICGB200/dp/B07VQJVTZG?th=1 Took it on a plane. Fits the overheads fine. Lots of padding. I use the same bag for a Mustang bass too.

Thanks for advice. And correct as stated, getting the right sound live IS dependent on so many things. I was mainly looking for a starting point to then adjust from. For now I'm testing live by leaving the UA mid all the way up. Adjusting Treb and Bass to suit. Gain around 8-9 o'clock and...

Got a UA and still getting a feel for it live. Easy at home to get the sound I want but live I'm still messing with it to fine my place in the mix in different venues. Got a Finally V2 on the way as well. Was curious as to how you guys that have them both are setting the knobs so they work...

I have to add to this that I did order 2 brand new items from GC online this year on top of this latest used cab. The other items were sent directly to a GC store nearby so I didn't need to worry about them sitting on my front step when I wasn't here. Those items work fine and were shipped in...

I bought a used bass cabinet from Guitar Center online. It was supposed to a one 12 but is instead a 15 of the same brand. And the serial number is scratched off. So is it stolen? Is GC now selling stolen goods? Wow, nice. And on top of that it was packaged like crap. Really...

I was in my last year of high school and watched another bunch of kids playing in a band in the quad during lunch. I had seen all these kids I grew up with playing in bands during lunch over the years and was curious about it. I knew there were tons of drummers and guitar players already. So...

Ah ha! I just saw a pic on FB of you with this new Kiesel and wondered if you had come here to chat about it. I got a Kiesel made Carvin PB5 last year. Passive and chambered. 9.4 lbs. Love it. Growls wonderfully.

I've noticed that a lot of the modern country bands now include rock songs in their live sets. Saw Brad Paisley play Hot For Teacher.

Fender Roscoe Beck V and IV. I have owned both. Should not have sold the IV. Still have the V. I bring it out here and there. It's a bit heavier than I like at 10.4 lbs. It is extremely "woody" sounding to my ears. If it weighed 8 lbs, it's probably all I'd play. It was difficult for me...

I have had preamps die on 2 different Musicman basses. A Stringray 5 and a Stringray 4. The 5 stringray issue was at Disneyland's Tomorrowland Terrace and rather perplexing. Luckily I was able to borrow a bass from the then running "Mad Tea Party" show. I later described the situation to a...

I apologize for being a little vague here. I might be way off base in my thoughts. And I skirted the story a little to protect someone as well as not be an out of step a-hole. A little more to my question(s). I actually had a bass made. So brand new. It's really nice but heavier than I...

How can you tell if a bass is chambered? Can you ultrasound it? X-ray? Is that even possible? Looking at a bass that is heavier than I would have thought for a "chambered" bass and wonder if there is a way to check and see if it is truly chambered...?

Every once in a while you play a bar where the PA speakers have to go far to the sides of the stage. From the center of the dance floor and close to the front of the stage the vocals will be hard to hear. We use inears. There is always some whinny voiced chick who says, "I can't hear the...

Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string bass seems to get used the most right now. A few years ago it was a Musicman SR5 Dargie that got too heavy after a while. I kept getting gigs where you play straight through for 3+ hours and the MM was killing my back.

My go to for a while was a Berg HD410. Best 410 ever but serious weight compromise. Not a cab you want to move up stairs or over gravel roads. It is overkill for most everything I do now. Used it with an Aguilar DB750 for a while. Hard to beat tone wise. You must have a HMO program though...
