    Ampeg Micro-VR or BA-115?

    Thanks for all the advice. I returned it and got the BA-115 and am really liking the sound more than the Micro-VR. The fact that the signal from the aux input comes out the speaker instead of just the headphones is also a huge plus for me, AND I now have a $250 store credit to put towards a new...

    Ampeg Micro-VR or BA-115?

    Good point. I guess I am wondering if other people have had similar experiences, and if the BA-115 would suit my needs for home practice.

    Ampeg Micro-VR or BA-115?

    So i recently bought a new Micro-VR with matching 210AV cabinet. The sound is very good, but lacks a little bit in the low end. I went to my local music store yesterday and tried a 70s classic P bass through a BA-115, and it sounded excellent. I mainly use the Micro-VR for home practice...

    Should I sell my EBMM Sterling 4H?

    So a few weeks ago I bought an EBMM Sterling 4H for $900 of Craigslist. It is by far the easiest-to-play bass I have ever played. I think the tone is 'alright', but I've never been an active bass kind of guy. I was looking around these forums a bit, and everyone is mentioning how amazingly...

    ZOOM B3 > Help me!!

    EBMM Sterling Question

    CAD $900 including OHSC. I think that's fair? Most of them that I have seen sell second hand for around USD $1000. I think it is the black cherry burst - although the pictures of the black cherry on the MM website are quite a bit lighter than mine.

    EBMM Sterling Question

    No, he didn't use that story to help sell it or increase the price. He just mentioned it to me when we met up.

    EBMM Sterling Question

    I picked up an EBMM Sterling from a guy on Craigslist today. He told me that the person he bought it from claimed to be a roadie for Rush, and this bass was designed for Geddy Lee. Geddy apparently didn't like the bass, so he gave it to the roadie. Do you think that sounds legit? I also...
