Most shows I play are small, and the amps carry the room. I like to be miked when possible. DI is fine blended in for reinforcement, if it's available and necessary, but enough of the tone comes from the old tube head I use that it's just not right without the miked sound. I'm in the middle of...

Wild stuff. I can't imagine not sharing writing credit for someone else's contributions. Bass is really fun to write on, it pushes me to do things I wouldn't do on guitar. When I write songs for the band I play bass for, I write them on bass and flesh them out with guitar parts later. It's a fun...

Thanks for the review. This makes me want to steer clear of the company. I can really only buy one thing right now so it needs to be a thing I can use for a while.

Really appreciate the links, thanks, one of these might actually work out for me.

Thanks for this. It's about an hour and a half from me, which is totally doable if I can find the right moment.

Oy vey. Why ask? Because I was hoping someone had direct experience with the cab and could either say "hey, it's not too bad for the money" or "it sucks, don't waste your time". I am aware that different speakers will respond differently. Just looking for that experience. Why those cabs...

Unfortunately the lowest possible price point is what I'm looking for right now. The 2x12 cabinet on their site is significantly smaller than the old cab... really just interested in it because it's cheap. Any other companies I should be looking at for empty cabs? If building is the best option...

The old cabinet was all 3/4 plywood, roughly 24" W x 30" H x 15" D. Closed back, front vented a couple inches up from the bottom, speakers mounted one above the other to the front of the plywood. No internal baffles, but a decent amount of white foam padding inside. I had it for about 26 years...

Hey folks, been a while. My trusty 2x12 got drenched in a basement flood recently. I pulled the speakers but had to toss the cabinet. There isn't a lot of used gear around my area (northern VT) so I've been looking around for something affordable to order. No experience with Seismic, but the...

Most of what I've sold is pedals and pickups. I sell them at the mid to low end of Reverb value depending on condition. It's all stuff I used myself, often purchased used to begin with, and I'm not trying to make a profit or even break even. I just want to move stuff I don't use anymore. I...

In that case, super cool. Fodera fretted 6 string.

I'm in the somewhat uncommon position of only wanting to play 6-string basses, so not being able to choose that as an option is a dealbreaker. If it's a thought exercise about the tension between being able to know what gear we really need, the ability to make do with what we have, and the...

I just don't accept offers. End of story.

Lighter string gauges in E standard might be nice to try, but tuning three half-steps down is going to give you a different vibe no matter what. A whole step higher than the usual low B on a five, more clarity with most of the depth in my experience. FWIW I love that tuning, it was my personal...

The original Hog pops up online sometimes, and so does the six-preset footswitch. It would be a piece of cake to have three of those patches be octave-down, octave-up, and both. The preset switch is kinda keeping me from even wanting to try the Hog2.
