I recently bought and used some Deoxit on my scratchy volume knobs and it worked wonders (thanks to all the info available here!). I thought this would solve all of the noise problems in my gear, but alas, it has not. My setup (Tone Hammer 500 with 2 SL 112s) is silent when there is no bass...

Hey guys, I am looking for a way to get my bass to sound like the types of bass and synth that Usher and Black Eyed Peas and Chris Brown have in their songs. Like, a thick, deep, round sound is the best I can do to describe it? If anyone has Logic Pro, I am hoping to find something that...

We have our amps, which plug into a snake on stage, which in turn connects to the mixing board on the other side of the club.

This is really great, and I think I am going to do that, but is there a way to do it without the sound guy at all? The board at the clubs is far from the stage, so as a result they aren't really reachable with cables, etc.

Hey guys, I am very confused and not able to figure this out. I am in a band that plays clubs several times a week. I have a very hard time hearing myself. I wear custom earplugs with the lowest filter so that I am protect myself, yet still hear ok. I want to begin using In Ear Monitors...

My Tone Hammer 500 peaks through the mixer that my band uses when playing live. I am going through the direct out on the Tone Hammer into the mixer, and one would think everything should work great, except that it peaks! I can't figure out why, and we have been using the compressor on the...

I recently bought an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 and it was great when I bought it. Recently though it has started hissing through my bass cabinet. It also hisses through the direct out XLR output into a mixer. The Tone Hammer is 250watts at 8ohms and the speaker I use is a Hartke which is 200watts...

Guys! I am buying a new bass amplifier and I think it is going to be a Hartke HA2500, HA3500, or LH500. I do not know how OHMS work and I think it would benefit me if someone could tell me if they would work fine with my current cabinet, a Hartke 410XL. The 410XL says 8ohms on the...

Hey guys, I was just about to start practicing today through my Hartke 410XL and HA4000 and there is no sound coming out of the cabinet. I plugged a different amplifier (for my PA system) into the cabinet and I got a sound. I ran my HA4000 from its "tuner out" output into the inputs on...

Guys, I own a 2005 Fender 4-string American Jazz Bass and I would like to get a Hipshot detuner for a few tunes in the group I perform with. The problem is that on the hipshot website, none of the detuners seem ok for a 2005 bass. And, I am unsure which one would fit my bass. I don't...
