    What is Sting's Greatest Song?

    I’m kind of a “can’t stand losing you” guy.

    Just a curious question. What picks do you use?

    I was a little worried about volume too, but it is plenty loud over our heavy handed drummer (not amplified) and not too overdriven to me at all. I’ve read about changing tubes for more clean headroom but i haven’t felt the need.

    Darkglass 4x10 vs 210

    If you’re in the San Francisco area you can borrow my 210 to compare. I liked it and was using it with the Darkglass combo but silly me has gone in a totally different direction with with amps now so I’m going to list both of those when I get a chance.

    American Standard Precision bass stock pots — audio or linear?

    I can tell you that on mine the volume goes (in 1/8th turns) quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, loud

    The amp arrived Friday and I played it last night at a bar gig and it was plenty loud over drums (only vocals in the PA) and our guitarist’s small amp. At volume it was much darker than I imagined from bedroom volume so I’ll work on eq at next rehearsal. Bur it sounds great anyway and my back...

    Alright, I pulled the trigger on a used one, on the way to me now. I’d better keep it long term this time!

    After a year or whatever, what’s the general consensus for the volume ability for using the ACB50 live? Are you guys doing so? Just the combo? Combo with extension cabinet? Only with front of house support?

    I don’t know what I was thinking when I sold mine. Now I’m looking for one again!

    Show me your compact pedalboard setup

    I keep going back and forth from analog pedals to multi effects. Currently in “all-in-one” mode with Darkglass Anagram. Running off usb battery, cheap wireless in, 1/4” out to amp (last night was quilter bb800 and barefaced 210) pointed at the drummer basically , and xlr out to mixer. That’s...

    Speaker break-in: myth or reality?

    Unfortunately, I’ve broken in my ears a little too well over the years and so wouldn’t be able to hear any difference.

    NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) big thread

    I hate to ask this but I scanned thorough the thread and I’m still lost. Is there someone who can talk me through using the anagram and Logic Pro to capture a pedal? Here’s what I’ve done so far: 1. Downloaded the Sweep File and loaded it into a track on Logic Pro and added a new blank track...

    Capo use on the bass

    I have one I use to hold the strings down at the first fret when I’m doing a set up, but I haven’t tried playing with it.
