I have one of those power inverters that I can plug into my cars cigarette lighter and run 110/120 volt electronics. How fast would a small amp like a fender rumble 15 or a line 6 15 watter eat up my car battery? I'll have to check under the hood to see what its cold cranking amps are but I'm...

Thanks, this won't effect the tone any will it? I'm going for pickups straight to jack, nothing in the way, just the pure bass tone with nothing to get in the way.

Hi, been a while since I've been here, lots of gigs. Anyhow, I just put together a project bass, P-bass body, Geddy Lee Jazz bass neck. I know, I wish I had the whole geddy lee jazz bass, but the neck was a gift. Anyhow. ON this bass I am wiring it different, I am running the pickups straight to...

I can email pics to anyone interested, just PM me.

Hi. I have a chance to pickup what looks like a beautiful double bass. It appears mint in the pictures. I've never played one before so I need to know what to look for to make sure its a good deal and a playable bass. From what he told me his father bought it new in Mexico over 15 years ago, I...

I got a gig in about a month.Practice is low volume so I can' really text it until sound check. I was Just hoping for some input.

Hi, I'm looking tat two rigs for gigging (I already own them both) So my question is simple, which amp would you use to dial in the cleans, growl, punch, what ever term you prefer. I'm planning on running them both on stage and EQ'ing each for its strongest point. I've gigged the Trace rig...

I have a few 9 volt power supplies that put out enough power to handle 3-4 of my pedals easy. Can I split the power cord and ad on more outputs to run multiple pedals off one power supply or can this cause ground loops or other issues? Thanks

As some of you know I have been using a vintage Trace Elliot rig, RAH130 with the single 15" TE cab, this is the original stuff made in the UK before they sold to Gibson and now it seems PV has them. Anyhow I just picked up a GK MB115 33lbs of tonal bliss. Of course both amps have their own...

I've been in 4 bands in the last three years. One band gave me a CD of 18 songs, I learned them in 3 days (I did know a few of them already) I went to the audition and played them all. Three months later we were still playing the same songs because no one else learned anything new, I quit...

I almost forgot to mention the best part, they aren't alcoholics and drug abusers! Finally! I have no problem with someone having a drink or two, but I refuse to play with people that get too f'd up to play a good show. I chalk that up to old musicians pissed off that they never got to live...

The funny thing is I am not a great bassist, I'm a solid pocket player (don't be a perv! ;) ) I can't read music and I learn by ear or by watching the guitarists hands, if I see him going to the 3rd fret, I know a G most likely is coming. I've heard a lot of music and played a lot, so many songs...

I had an audition Sunday. I just got the news about it the day before along with a list of songs I've heard, but never played before. Unfortunately I got the list as I was walking out the door and had no time to practice. Sunday comes around and my grandkids came over unexpectedly, so once...

Thanks, I'll try it that way. If the active bass is pushing to much gain in the normal input I'll just dial back the basses volume control.

I just picked up a MB115 for $250, its mint, no issues so far and it sounds incredible! The guy I got it from comes from money and takes really good care of all his stuff, its like factory fresh and he only bought it a few months ago. Between this and my Trace Elliot rig I can play any size...
