Guitarist here. Have a Corvette $$ 4-stringer with passive humbuckers to record some bass lines with. I have some pretty elementary questions since I'm not really a bassist. I record metal music and the questions are in relation to the recorded tone. 1) Is it probably better to run the tone...

The Rockbass actually sounds fine. I’m satisfied with it and I can set it up easily. I know I don’t ‘need’ the Standard but I guess I just wanted to bullet proof my entire rig since my bass is the cheapest element in it, and I kinda wanted a new toy to play with. If I decide against the Standard...

I actually record my bass through a Sansamp PSA-1 and it gets pretty much what I want. What I really wanted to know is if the Standard would feel better, play better/easier, stay in tune better etc. I’ve played some cheap guitars before, and while cheap ones can get the job done, my more...

See, that’s what I was thinking. I don’t think I’d get that much out of upgrading, however I do have a few hundred bucks laying around, and that combined with offing the Rockbass I could get the Standard. My Rockbass has these passive pickups on them. The Standard has the single coil type...

I have a Warwick Corvette $$ Rockbass. That’s what it says on the headstock. I was just looking up the history of the Corvette and the Corvette Standard models from the 90s look pretty good, the German made ones. This Rockbass I have is a Chinese one. Would I be gaining a lot by upgrading the...

I'm considering selling the bass driver. I guess we'll see once I get it, wanted to check here while it's on the way.

I recently bought a PSA-1.1 and it's on the way here. I have the older version of the Sansamp bass driver that I use but I'm wondering if I'll even need the bass driver since I have the PSA-1.1 now. What do you think?

When you guys vape, or at least when you first started, was there a bit of harshness to it for you? I was thinking vaping would be smooth. I can taste a decent flavor, but along with that is this weird harsh feeling on my lungs. I don't mean the kind that's a 'strong cigarette' feeling, I mean...

I also hear an air+liquid sucking sound when I take a hit, kinda like the sound of the last bit of water going down your sink. I also notice that some of the liquid is sucking through the part you take a hit from and it's getting onto my tongue. I've tried a couple different liquids and they...

Hey guys. I just bought a Vapor kit from Volcano ECigs. I got the Inferno kit and a few liquids. I'm not sure if I've got a defective item or if I'm doing this right, but vaping so far tastes disgusting. When I take a hit, there's a really bad harshness about it. Imagine taking a hit from raw...

Should I run into a DBX first, then run into my Sansamp Bass Driver DI? Or first into Sansamp, then the DBX? The Sansamp website says that you should probably run into the compressor first, then into the Sansamp. The thing is though, isn't the input on the Sansamp expecting instrument level? The...

I use standard gauge 10 strings on guitar. What is the equivalent gauge for bass?

My version doesn't have those switches, it's the older one.

I just bought one and I have some questions. I'm used to recording guitar DI signals with a Countryman DI so I'm guessing the input on this is Hi-Z. The outputs say it's Lo-Z so that must mean I can run the outputs into a mixing board and not worry about plugging it into an actual Hi-Z input...

These are going for pretty cheap. I only need a bass to fill out the lower end in my tracks in the studio (I'm a guitarist). After listening to the examples of it on youtube, it sounds like it'll do everything I need it to and sounds just as good as anything else. I usually stay away from...
