I use cello stands. I think I got them at Gollihur.

Very nice!

I have a hot rod precision originally made in 2001, which I wouldn't mind selling by the way. I had the bass professionally wired to volume, tone, blend as is my preference. I also had the volume control replaced with a push/pull volume control. With respect to line6man's (and others') comments...

Greetings all, I got my ctr500-210t over this labor day weekend. I co-host a local open mike every tuesday evening and provide my ctr500-210t as part of the backline for use by myself and other bassists. Its a nice arrangement as i get to sit in the audience and listen to my ctr5000-210t being...

Yes! I just joined a 17 piece jazz big/jazz/dance band. I either get "fake book" charts where you get the chords, the melody and half the time, the lyrics. The rest of the time i get the piano music or bass music with the bassline and no chords. It's not uncommon to be asked to play a solo in...

My first amp was an ampeg b15n and my first bass was an ampeg brown burst baby bass bought together new. Unfortunately, as a high school teenager, i felt it wasn't loud enough to play rock and not satisfactory playing classical arco. I wish i had them now. Subsequently, my favorite amp in the...

Greetings all, I co-host a weekly open mike. After some jerk blew my hartke kickback combo, i bought a fender rumble 150 to use as a backline amp at the open mike. It performed admirably and i had a cover made for it by custom guitar covers. Last month i replaced it with a genz benz ctr500-210t...

There is one on ebay now. Ebay item # 281175929272.

Check out Invalid Link Removed. He might be the best around. For a basic setup, i have had several basses setup this year at the guitar center on joppa road in towson, md. Sorry, i don't know the guy's name, but he does great work. I hope this helps. Please pm me to let me know how you made out.

Fdeck, i have one of your hpfs and love it. I use it to protect my amp when i host an open mike. But that is another story. I agree "... plays the sax parts in the local symphony when they come up, which is pretty rare." Classical symphonic music for saxophones is very, very rare, which makes me...

Am i missing something? A classical saxophone?

I host an open mike. As such, i dont bring by best equiment. I bought a nice yamaha rx-170 for guests to play. Unfortunately, i am liking the rx-170, it turns out to be a very nice playable bass guitar. I keep an fdeck high pass filter in front of my backline bass combo amp. Its so funny...

Just my experience, callouses are tough dead skin, the skin underneath a callous is tender and pink. If you stress a callous, it will tear away from the soft skin underneath. What you want to do is regularly sand (i use a nail file or emory board) the dead skin. There is no pain or feeling cause...
