    Dean Club!!!

    Hi fellow Deaners. I found this for $300 the other month, and thought it was just too cool to pass up. I realized the bridge allowed for a string through mod, and since my original cost was modest I went ahead and went to town with a drill. I added some shaller strap locks and got a set of...

    Let's See Your Hot-Rodded Cheapo Basses!

    I got two offerings to the discussion. One is a real cheap Yamaha rbx174ew with new DiMarzio dp127 set of pickups, and gotoh bridge and tuners and some new knobs, the the black/purple one is a used Yamaha BBnII with a set of Delano pickups. That one had better stock tuners and bridge so I have...

    Compressor with volume out control?

    Right, thank you, after looking around I found the MXR m87 that has both an input gain and a volume output post compression. It seems to me that this is a little unusual, but I’m just getting my feet wet with this stuff. Are there other options aside m87 that has this feature set?

    The "Synth bass tones from a regular bass" club

    Maybe I am not all that concerned if I’m being irresponsible when it comes to messing around with sound in my own bedroom.

    Compressor with volume out control?

    Hello. Is there a compressor pedal that has a volume output knob? I am not looking for makeup gain, but a straight volume control for the output. Thank you.

    The "Synth bass tones from a regular bass" club

    I feel that the forgotten parameter of synthesis in terms of monophonic synth sounds from a bass is often time the time aspect. Many synths of the older generation -which is largely the type we are inspired by- have a defined envelope that is re trigger able. In other words, every time you...

    TC Electronic Plethora x3

    I got one of these, and I am happy with the tuner, compressor and the noise gate. I also use it as a HPF with a variable cutoff using the Brain Wave algorithm, that can be basically bypassed and just utilizing the high pass and the volume out.

    Does Yamaha bb734a and trbx604/504 have the same preamp?

    I was looking at the current offerings by Yamaha and was struck by the similarities between the bb734a and the trbx 604/504. Control layout seems exactly the same, and so does the rear compartments. Could it be that these models all share the same electronics and the difference is in body shape...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    They are modern and split coil, the stock ones was single coil vintage sounding and much lower in volume. So the Delanos are much louder, more details and together with my shielding job completely noise free. It really was night and day. I am not an expert in aftermarket pickups at all, so I...

    I got a BB4n in purple burst. I hope this will get me a ticket to the club.
