    Best bang for buck multi-effects pedal?

    No love for the Line 6 M series? I got my M13 used for $300 and I love it to bits.

    Bassists Are Their Own Worst Enemies

    Some very great posts in this thread. I hate to see people on here let their instrument define their playing and their thought process. Remember, YOU are the musician and its YOU that chooses the notes and how you play them. Yes, the bass's traditional role was to provide more or less of a...

    Bose L1 Portable Sound system...

    I've played through one at my local coffee shop. It sounds amazing when I sing and play acoustic guitar through it, but I've played bass a few times for a friends group using a DI to the bose and it just doesn't put out the volume or low frequencies. I'd say use your own setup and mix to taste.

    What is the best multi effects pedal/unit for bass?

    I really like my m13, but I don't think the synths track too well on bass in my opinion. But i really dig everything else, although I dont have an expression pedal yet so I cant really judge how I think the wahs sound.

    Can pots go microphonic?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. When I put this last pot in myself it worked like a charm and was super quiet just like new. I haven't played the bass in awhile and now its cutting out. It may just be my amateur soldering job.

    Can pots go microphonic?

    Cool, thanks bongo. Its just i could literally tap on that mid knob and an audible pop would come through the speakers. Looks like its time for a replacement.

    Can pots go microphonic?

    Glad to know i'm not alone. Oh well, its a cheap fix. Although i sometimes day dream of a simple passive bass. lol. So much less to go wrong.

    Can pots go microphonic?

    I have a fender deluxe precision special with an active EQ the pot that controls the mid frequencies has become super scratchy and poppy when i turn it. The problem is, this is the second time this has happened. I paid to get it fixed the first time and the second time i just busted out the...

    What amps are you using for post-rock?

    I saw Mogwai just this year and Dom was playing through a standard SVT classic through an 8x10. For what i play with my solo/looping project i'm using a Peavey VB-2. I really think anything can work as long as its flexable. Get something solid state and then you can afford more pedals :)

    Line6 M9 - tremolo going out of sync

    Hi. I think this is normal. For something to be synced up in perfect time with a metronome you need to have it connect to a midi word clock of some sort. I've tried using my looping pedal along with a drum machine and have the same problem, it would be fine for the first few seconds and then it...

    Affordable, clean tube-amp?

    +1 I love my VB-2. I got it at guitar center for 500 bucks. (It was a floor model). This thing is very versitle, you can get modern and old school sounds out of it, and it doesnt weigh a ton. Stays nice and clean too. Theres an overdrive channel that gets a little over the top, but a little...

    TC Electronic's Impact Twin for home and live?

    Does anyone have any experience with it? I really want to get into home recording, editing, mixing and was thinking this looks pretty good to start a home studio with. I'm also wondering about possible latency issues becuase I want to be able to play synths and other virtual instruments ive. Any...
