I just installed an audere classic 4-band on my green johnson: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/hartke-club-455657/index25.html#post9599003 Now it's nice and cleeeeaaaaar!:D PattiM

So was that an A100 (100W;1x15) or a Hydrive 115 (250W;1x15)?

And if I'm not wrong, you're the first girl in the club. :hyper::D;):):bassist: Thanks!! I noticed there aren't a lot of women here ;-)

Ah, I didn't think of that! The headphones keeps the two sound sources from interfering with each other. Pity. I really like that sound. :hmm:

I *think* I figured this out... Behold, my cheap, wonderful, green johnson that's got me completely ignoring my Conklin... I sometimes think the 115 sounds a little tubby or something - like the midrange is too lean. If I were a good tech, I could prolly fix that with the equalizer. Maybe I...

Well, the cutaway is about an inch below my right boob. The real secret seems to be what you do with your thumb. ;)

Hey! I just had an idea - is there a thread here (yet?) on "great cheap/trashy basses we really like(d)/love(d)?"

Sweet!

This thread certainly seems to be going well!!!! Hydrive 115c here - 1/2paper and 1/2aluminum. Love the "shape" control and it's LOUD. Number please? QUESTION: I practice through a ZOOM pedal into headphones and love the stereo/delay sound - has anyone experimented with two cabinets (placed...

Wow. Here it is weeks and weeks later and I haven't picked up my Conklin in all that time. I just set down my Johnson and had to write - I was almost in tears it felt so good. Anyway, I swapped out the stock neck pup for a Carvin H50A and didn't like it - it sounded, well, like a humbucker...

No wonder I feel energized when I'm playing with that thang... And here I thought it was just us longing for simpler bygone days... 'Course - you couldn't find ANYTHING with this kind of quality in those days, unless you paid >$1500 (2010 dollars) for it. I have to admit - there is one thing...

Yep, Johnson. Maybe they've been around a while? Another Chinese work of art? Unfortunately, it doesn't say "Fender" on the headstock... Still, they must have some amazing hardwood supplies in China. I can't find any difference in finish quality between my it and my GrooveTool-7. It looks...

I bought this on a whim, and I love it! It's got this light, beautiful, trashy, simple sound of something built in the lo-tech '70's but no hum at all.http://www.amazon.com/EMERALD-STRING-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR/dp/B002JI8MEM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1280694942&sr=8-2 I wonder...

I know what you mean about the mental adjustment... I actually think I found the problem here - the headphones! Those low notes drive ears into a nonlinear response. Some neighbors moved out so I was playing through the amp (no headphones) and there was no problem. So I guess it's pretty...

I dunno - as a scientist, sometimes I need drugs to help me concentrate (caffeine, modafinil), then at night after a stressful day (red wine, dark beer). These seem to help you send the brain where it needs to be (that is, concentrating or relaxing or whatever). So I think likely a bowl would...
