    How was the NYE gig?

    We had a great NYE gig last night, despite the comedy of errors that preceded the gig. Guitar player, (band leader for 1 of the bands,) doesn't show for setup or soundcheck. finally mosies in at 9 and explains that he was at a wake the night before and didn't get to sleep until 9am that...

    The most ridiculous rig sounds so good...

    So my gig last night was the first time I've played the setup with a full band as I'd mentioned before. I was right about giving the guys something to laugh about. More importantly the head sounded great at the higher stage volume and my bass definately cut through the mix much more clearly...

    Yep, Russell you are correct. I just had a terminology fail is all.

    The most ridiculous rig sounds so good...

    Hahaha, yeah. I actually really like the Bassman. It's a nice sounding amp and I've played it on almost every gig I've done since last November and that's around 200 shows. It's reliable, tough as hell and as I said before it sounds pretty decent. I really like the Acoustic 150 though. It...

    The most ridiculous rig sounds so good...

    Hey all, so against my better judgement (as well as despite advice I received on here a while ago), I traded one of my Squier J-basses for an Acoustic 150 head. I think it was a case of too many basses not enough old amp type situations that caused all the problems. lol. Anyways, I brought...

    A good trade? Acoustic 150...

    Hmm, no eh? Are they just meh amps or is it a price thing?

    A good trade? Acoustic 150...

    Hi guys, I just found this on kijiji: Link Removed I was thinking about trading my Squier Classic Vibe series J-bass for it, but don't want to pull the trigger until I know if this is a good deal. What do you all think? Yes or No?

    Double Bass First post on this side of the board.

    Hey all, My name's Noel, I should probably re-title this as my first started thread on this side I've been on tour for the last 9 and a half weeks, (3 1/2 weeks out East and 6 up North), and the only reason for this post is that I've been stuck on the slab (which I love), for the whole tour...

    intermittent pickup failure

    Hey all, I have a 2000 MIA J-bass and over the last week I have noticed while on my gig, always during the first set of the night and generally during the first song or two, the neck pickup seems to just sort of...crap out on me. It's really weird. Everything will be fine and then it's...

    Things bassist hate.

    I know I'm new here, but I really don't understand the need to insult sound guys. I also know that I'm going to get blasted for my opinion below, but I'm cool with that. :cool: I think it's fine to be picky about "your" sound when it's coming out of your amp. When it's coming out the FOH it's...
