    Half rounds? Good compromise for a round wound player?

    Been down this road too and I recently switched to GHS Pressurewounds and couldn't be happier! I've tried both D'Addario Half Rounds and GHS Brite Flats, in that order, and felt the need to change to something else. After seeing some videos and reading string reviews, I chose the lightest...

    What kind of strings do you have on your J Bass?

    I just put on a set of GHS Pressurewounds about a month ago on my Fender Jazz and really like them! I got the lightest gauge set available which have the lowest tension and they feel and sound great! I was using GHS Brite Flats for the last 2 years or so and wanted to try something different...

    12" Speaker replacement for a 100 watt 4 ohm combo amp

    Ideally you would want to pick your speaker(s) first and then buy or build a cabinet to spec that will allow the speaker(s) to perform at their full potential. I'm guessing Bill will chime in on this one at some point as he has way more knowledge on this subject than I ever will. I just took...

    Tricks to lower the weight on a bass?

    I just weighed out the tone knobs on a 5 lb Pelouze scale and here's what I found: ATK chrome tone knob= .7 oz / 21 g 4 knobs= 2.8 oz / 84 g Fender plastic tone knob= .2 oz / 6 g 4 knobs= .8 oz / 24 g So you can see that changing knobs will save you about 2 oz. Gotta start somewhere.

    Tricks to lower the weight on a bass?

    Do you have any pics yet of your ATK with the mods? I have an ATK3EX1 (basically an ATK300, was made for 6 months in 2007 exclusively for Guitar Center) and I too would love my ATK to loose a little weight. I'm really curious as to what a different bridge will look like on an ATK especially...

    Fender Deluxe P bas vs EBMM Stingray

    If you are looking for a versitile bass with an active pickup that can give you both decent P Bass and Stingray sounds, try out an Ibanez ATK 300 bass. It has 1 active triple coil humbucker pup with bass, mids, and treble knobs to give you a little more or less of the tones you are looking for...

    WTB: CX1060C8 Driver

    Hi fellow low enders, I am in need of a CX1060C8 (8 ohm) driver. I did my homework researching this model driver and pretty much came up empty. Only found out that these were used in some Eden cabs back in the Montrose hay day (kinda knew that already cause my cab is from 2000.) If anyone...

    Bean639 and other Eden users out there, If you want to talk with others who are also using Eden products, check out their forum: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Chuck M, I was wondering what Eden amp you are using. I use the WT-400 which many say is the warmest sounding Eden amp ever...

    12ax7 SHOOTOUT!

    I own an Eden WT-400 head and all this talk from people saying "it doesn't matter what 12AX7 tube you put in there cause they all pretty much sound the same" is a bunch of crap. I've tried dozens tubes (Sylvania, Mullard, Telefunken, GE, Raytheon, Sovtek, JJ, Ruby, RCA, Mesa) with some being...

    Long Excursion HiFi Woofer in my Crate Amp

    elroyjetsn, the most import thing is that you are happy with your sound and it doesn't overextend your budget. I admit, I'm very frugal, but sometimes it costs you 2 or 3 times as much in the end when you buy a few cheap things that don't last or work and then you finally go for quality and end...

    Solid State Combo Amp Acting Up

    impactwrench, this is the Crate BT1000 100W 1x12 combo. I've used it for practices before and never had a problem. I've been using this amp regularly for almost a year now and have been very happy with it. I watch to make sure the limit light doesn't come on while playing. It doesn't appear...

    Solid State Combo Amp Acting Up

    Hi gang, My Crate BT1000 bass solid state combo amp started acting up recently. I've noticed the last couple times I've turned it on it produced a hum that was never there before and then it would go away after a few minutes. The last time I used this amp this weekend it hummed when I...
