I have a used SVT 3 pro from GC on the way. I'm going to give it a go for a little while while I search for a SVP pro preamp and power amp combo used from GC (you can return used gear for 30 days) I'm keeping that heavy mf'er no matter what. If I get close to the tone I like from the SVT 3...

I've been playing a 1989 Ampeg SVT-II 300 in to a Ampeg Classic 4x10 HLF (used to be in an AIC tribute and tried to copy Mike Starr's rig from the Facelift album and loved the tone). The amp weighs 85 lbs and I put it in a 1/4 wood enclosure so it's heavy as hell and after 3 years I'm tired of...

I play in a modern rock cover bands, 90's - present. Think Alice in Chains to Velvet Revolver. I modeled my set up on Mike Starr's tone from the Facelift album. I play a 1989 Spector NS2-A into a 1991 Ampeg SVT II and Ampeg 4x10 cabinet. I'm tired of lugging that heavy ass amp and cabinet and...

If you had $1000 to spend would you get custom molds + a cheaper transmitter (less than $300) or a higher shure/sennheiser system with "universal" ear buds?

My first attempt was failed. So I'm trying again but from a different direction. What am I trying to do: (1) Load a song into Garageband from iTunes. This is usually a drum track, a play along song (minus the bass) or the original. (2) Record my bass playing along to this track (3) Export a...

It's too obvious but true. Paranoid

What am I trying to do: (1) Load a song into Garageband from iTunes. This is usually a drum track, a play along song (minus the bass) or the original. (2) Connect and record my bass playing along to this track (3) Export a new track of me playing along to the song back in iTunes. (4) Use this...

I hope someone is still out there looking at this thread. I have finally had a chance to sit back down and go through this again. I changed from a youtube video to a regular mp3 and the sound is much better. However, I can barely hear my bass both while playing and using a Bose speaker (hard...

I listened to the drum tracks on a different receiver and speakers. You have to crank it to hear them. So that's a problem and one that may not be fixable. However, if I'm just playing bass through it is still almost perceptible at a reasonable volume 4-5/10 on the interface, 40-45 on the...

I use Garageband. I have some drum tracks to songs I've pulled off youtube and some I've hired a drummer to lay down. Songs like Outshined by Soundgarden and Far Behind by Candlebox. I've put those into Garageband and was recording myself playing along with the drum tracks. I was using a...

I searched and found a couple of older threads identifying some guys in the Dallas area. Anybody have anyone they would recommend in the DFW area?

I have a late 80's Spector NS2-A. The old Kramer/Spector model made in Korea. It's need a complete fret job, the electronics are shot, pickups are worn out, etc. But it's clean, the neck is straight, and I have a history with it. Which brings me to my question. Could I take an old Spector...

I can't help you with your question but got to say that's the greatest song name I've ever heard.

There is no "easy" way for learning the fretboard, it just takes time and repitition. Truer words have never been spoken.

I just wanted to say thanks for the quick and awesome responses. Good stuff.
