Interesting, do you have a photo of it installed? I may follow your lead, seems like a solid upgrade.

I used my original from the year it was first released until last year. I used it in front of a Markbass SA450 that was super clean and needed grit. For a long time it was my only pedal besides a tuner. But when I switched my head to a Tome Hammer I found it redundant. Now I usually plug...

I was underwhelmed with TI jazz flats on my MFD equipped bass (L-1000). IMO, MFDs beg for round wounds. This is coming from someone who played flats exclusively for 15 years on my main bass (jazz). That being said, I currently have GHS precision flats on my Fallout Tribute bass (MFD equipped)...

I like the pressurewounds but they are very stiff. Consider sizing down to medium-light (or even light) if you’re used to medium gauge. Just my 2 cents.

I had the same bass guitar for 15 years (Lakland Skyline JO) and during Covid I caught GAS and decided I need more options. Ended up buying: - Yamaha BB435 - G&L CLF L-1000 - G&L Fallout Tribute - Fender Aerodyne Special Jazz - Ibanez SR370EF Fretless All excellent instruments. But after all...

I’ve looked all over the internet and can’t find an answer for this. Sorry if I’m just blind! What is the difference between V1 and V2 of the Sadowsky SPB-1 preamp pedal? Is it just that V1 is made in USA and V2 is made in China? I’ve seen anecdotal comments that V1 sounds better than V2...

Here’s another photo of my chocolate burst jazz. After I took this photo I set it up with Dunlop dual dynamic hybrid strings and it really sings.

TC Electronics Bodyrez Acoustic Enhancer. Cheating with this one because I used it with my upright bass and acoustic regular guitar. But sure it would help with an acoustic bass guitar as well. Made the piezo pickups sound like a million bucks.

Not what you’re asking for, but I bought the bass version of the Boss Waza Air headphones and I absolutely love them for silent practice. After you get your amp model set up via the app, it’s dead simple, just plug in and go. They are pricey but you can get them used for a decent price. I...

Was it audibly clipping or was it just the light?

Over the years have progressively stepped down from a 2000 watt power amp to a Markbass SA450 (500w) to a TH350. Have yet to be disappointed on volume. TBH, haven’t really noticed a difference. Except the TH350 has an excellent DI. Love the 350

They just took another $200 off, so the Aerodynes are $799 at Fender.com and Sweetwater, among others.

To me, the best option for sounding like a finger style upright is good palm mute technique. But for cello stuff, I really enjoy owning the bass guitar sound and trying to make it sound fluid, even, and musical. It is really technically difficult but rewarding. Cello music is mostly meant to...

I love my Grizzly Bass which is OD and distortion together, sometimes followed by a Deluxe Bass Big Muff (w/ blend). I can get just about anything I’ve ever wanted, ranging from light wool to wall of rage. https://www.creationaudiolabs.com/grizzlybass
