Is it ok to use indoor extension cords, splitters, and power strips on outdoor gigs or do they need to be outdoor or indoor/outdoor?

Thanks for the link! The Hipshot website is saying they have a drop in set of tuners for 1967-70’s so I’m assuming they may not work for my 1966.

Are there any Schaller or other nice tuners that could be installed on my 1966 Precision without having to drill any new holes?

I bought the D’Addario Eclipse tuner for double bass and cello from Gollihur for $14.99 and have been happy with it.

I have a mid 90s Carvin V115 speaker cabinet that hasn’t been played through much at all and is in great cosmetic shape. However, it was stored in a garage without AC in north central Florida for about 15 years. Would this have damaged it in any way? Would I need to disclose this to a potential...

Did the luthier add a new extended fingerboard on your bass or did he add wood to the fingerboard that was already on the bass?

The 3/4 light A string sounds a little dead and muffled compared to the EDG. I’m wondering if the 4/4 medium A would even it out. Note: I did have a sound post adjustment very recently.

I have a question about Spirocore A strings and didn’t want to start a new thread. I currently have 3/4 light ADG with a new 3/4 medium E. The new string is great and has really added volume and punch to the low end. I haven’t been happy with the feel or sound of the 3/4 light A string since it...

I asked a luthier about uneven bridge adjusters and he said that the only risk is that the bridge leg might crack. Then a couple weeks later asked a world renown bow maker whose bass (and other bowed instruments) luthier skills I hold in very high regard and he said uneven height is ok. I had my...

Question: is it a bad idea to use a Full Circle with the wire pointing up out of the adjuster rather than down?

I’m planning to start transcribing PC rhythm changes soloing. Which tune would you recommend? I’m looking for a great PC solo w clear recording quality, looking at Dexterity from Chamber’s Music.

I have a basic question. How important is having a tweeter in a cab mostly used for DB? Do you prefer a tweeter or no tweeter? Why? Thanks, Jake

I’m interested in ordering a Raezer’s Edge cabinet mainly for upright and don’t see a lot of info about them on TB. Anyone try out or use their cabs?

I’m considering buying a Raezer’s Edge cab; I’m looking at the REBL 10, REBL 10 ER, or the REBL 12. Looking on TB, there’s only 2 posts about these cabs and I’m wondering why there’s not much interest in them even though they look like high quality cabs at a low price. Any info appreciated!
