    FT: MXR M-80 for SansAmp Bass Drive or Avalon U5 + Cash

    Hi there! I have a MXR M-80 in great condition (missing the battery cover but it's covered with velcro for a pedal board) that I'm looking to trade for a SansAmp BDDI. I love the M-80 but I would also love to try a new flavor and I've heard the SansAmp is pretty great as well. I'm located in...

    JMJ in new TapeOp Magazine!

    Hey Justin, just want to say that I really dug reading your article. I run my own studio as well. I've got a question, nothing specific or anything. But when you track bass, do you ever use a di box to compliment your mic? What are some good mic/di combos you dig? Lately I've really liked my old...

    SGD Pickup and Line 6 X2 XDS Wireless

    Hi, sorry for the delay in my response. The wireless system actually isn't available anymore. My girlfriend wants to use it for her live gigs so it isn't being sold. The pickup is still available. Thanks for your interest though.

    SGD Pickup and Line 6 X2 XDS Wireless

    Hi guys, I am parting ways with my SGD pickup. The SGD was used for one session and then taken out and stored. It is the Wide 4-String EMG style pickup. If you don't know anything about these pickups, they are supposed to sound as close to the old Lane Poor pickups as you can get. It is also...

    Santa Barbara Bowl Blew My Mind

    Hey JMJ, just want to say that you absolutely blew my mind and my friend's minds at the bowl on Thursday night. The entire set was amazing but all of our mouths were collectively dropped during Paper Tiger due to your incredible playing. Thank you for the beautiful show.

    Is this mic good at recording bass?

    It doesn't really matter that it's on the amp. A pad (-10db, -16db, etc...) is just to knock the volume down by a certain amount. When it's on the amplifier, it's essentially the same as just turning the volume down. When most people record instruments, they run a microphone into a preamp. At...

    Is this mic good at recording bass?

    Your input signal is too loud for that specific mic. You need a pad to knock the signal down since your gain can't go any lower. I'm not familiar with the mic you're using since it's USB powered, but there might be a -10db option somewhere that you can click.

    What type of pickup sounds best when you play hard?

    I'm curious what you guys think about this. When you really dig in.

    Flea sound question.

    In these videos he is playing the DOD FX25 though. flea bass solo 4 - YouTube Try everything set at 12 o' clock. He's playing really really hard. That's what helps his treble cut through the envelop bubble.

    Replacement Pickups for EMG Soapbar

    Hmm. I don't really care about getting the precision sound on my bass. I'm willing to route out my bass if I have to. What is a current pickup that is still fairly easily available, that sounds closest to the old lane poor pickups made in the late 90s?

    Gallien Krueger just blew, need some advice.

    @BurningSkies, thanks for explaining with logic what everybody else is saying. It makes total sense. The fact that I got 6 years out of my cab is amazing and if I can get another 6 years doing the same thing, then it's worth a $99 recone job. From everything I've read, it looks like power...

    Gallien Krueger just blew, need some advice.

    Thanks guys. I did a bunch of research today and I ended up getting the voice coil replaced on my existing speaker. I'm going to get a power condition for my amp. I realized that this starting happening right after the power went out a gig I played last week. Hopefully the power conditioner will...
