    Battery powered Compressor?

    Hello all, I've been recruited into a country rock band and would like to start a new, much smaller board. I'm thinking just a Tuner and a Comp. I'd like to run them both off batteries. Any compressor pedals that I can run off a 9v battery that do a decent job? I'm using a DG Super Symmetry at...

    Buying off E Bay

    The good thing with eBay is they're always on the Buyers side if there's a dispute. Are you a gambling man......?

    When should I (or would you) start getting annoyed and/or worried?

    Ask them on social media if they're that active. When something becomes "public" you'll quickly get a response.

    My Chowny's 5 Years Order Story

    If he was so ethical he would have stopped taking peoples money when he knew he couldn't deliver. Making someone wait 2....3....4....5 years and still have zero product or money is not ethical in any way. He even lied to people and said I have your bass, he lied and said they were being...

    My Chowny's 5 Years Order Story

    Just get your money back man. No bass is worth this and the builder shouldn't be supported for his awful business practices.

    Chow Down! Chowny & Retrovibe Bass Club!

    Another dodgy builder taking people's money and not delivering. Why do the TalkBass Admins even let these guys have a platform here?

    Looking to add a 2 10" to my combo

    I'd always try and match them as closely as possible. Otherwise they may not play nice and sound bad. GK all day (they do make great stuff)

    Honestly, Flea Is not overrated at all

    He's not my favourite player but 14 year old me who had just started playing bass in 1991, was absolutely blown away by Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Live is where I think he really shines. His live tone and energy is unmatched. I saw them in Feb this year and was in awe of his performance (the whole...

    Hosting a jazz jam, singer shows up but is TERRIBLE. What to do?

    Sounds like you need a Social Assassin (Curb Your Enthusiasm fans out there?) Someone who will not so subtly tell her she sucks. That way you're in the clear, your crowd is happy and she gets the message.

    Rate my bass!

    The only important thing is that you like it! Do you like it?

    Double Bass I dropped my kid's double bass

    You'd be amazed what a great luthier can do to a bass. I go to The Bass Shop in Sydney and some of the damaged basses he's seen are excruciating to look at. But give him a few weeks, and you'd never know there was any damage at all. He's repaired basses for touring artists and orchestral...

    What actor played a role so iconicly that it's unimaginable anyone else could replace them?

    Harrison Ford as Indy and Han. John and Dan as The Blues Brothers Arnold as Conan and the T-800

    Need help finding suitable gear

    I've played on of those amps and was extremely underwhelmed. Not surprising for only 250w. For a thrash and sludge band I reckon it'll be struggling to keep up. Double the watts, get more clean headroom and you'll be much happier.
