It is kinda ridiculous how big the knobs are. I haven't ever accidently hit them though. And I always run my volume and passive tone at 10 so usually when I pick it up before playing I check they're fully throttled and ready to go Loving this bass more every time I play it. And to think I...

After messing with stuff for weeks I don't know how I came to that conclusion but it seems it was my SansAmp was the cause. Full tone passive and active neutral are basically the same (just wanted to clarify for all the people who read this thread later)

David when you were asking about the SansAmp having an attenuator I thought you meant for the 1/4" not the XLR. The XLR has a -20db button (which I don't use because I have an Avalon for a DI). And the button for the 1/4" is actually not a boost but it brings the signal back to unity, because...

I use the programmable bass driver ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) which does have an attenuator but I don't use it. I've been keeping full volume coming from the guitar and at unity on the sansamp. I was running into the effects loop of my Hartke 350 with no problem so that's weird it's...

The beige threw me off at first but I like it Active vs passive seems to change my tone alot more than series vs parallel. I like active because it sounds punchier. I'm running active parallel right now. I don't really understand what series does As for tone sculpting... My instinct tells me...

haha! I've only had it for a couple hours, I'm not positive what I want to use yet. I'm not tech savy with guitar gear. And on top of the guitar settings I'm also keeping one of the sansamp channels on the whole time so I've gotta get all that dialed too... It's kinda overwhelming. A few days...

I've been waiting for all this gear for a few weeks and it all came within 3 days. talk about a good week! now I just gotta get it set up to be strung BEAD and I'll be good to go. they changed the color strip!

4 string, white, H, rosewood. On the way from Connecticut to California! I'll post pics when I get it

I gotta go spend a few hours at GC going between a 4 and 5 and make up my mind as to how many strings I'm gonna stick to the rest of my life. Been borrowing an Ibanez SR500 for about 10 years now and just had to give it back to the owner... If anyone is feeling generous: [Invalid or Expired...

Hey I saw the ernie ball forum that you guys were talking about the difference between neck shapes of sterlings and reflexes, and also the difference between 4s and 5s. What is the difference? This is the link to that thread: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I wish I could get a 4 with...

Hey guys! I want to get a Reflex at some point this year but since they are so hard to find I've just been playing all the Music Man basses I can at guitar center trying to figure out what kind of PUP layout I want. I found that the single H sounded kind of... underwater, muddy. I...
