Update! I took it to the store and it turns out it had a defective neck. So they are shipping me a new one!

Hey guys! So I recently bought a brand new Ibanez SRFF805. Absolutely love the bass! But I have realized that there seems to be constant fret buzz from about the 9th fret to the 12th fret on all strings. I noticed it when I bought it at the store, but didn't think anything of it because it...

Thank you all so much for you suggestions! At this point, I would have no problem buying some books and going that route. I'd rather not pay for traditional style lessons, but I'm certainly not totally opposed to it. There are certain techniques that I would really like to learn (such as...

Thank you so much! That sounds incredible! I actually have an older keyboard and I've always wanted to sit down and learn my way around it, so your suggestion sounds like it may kill 2 birds with one stone! Thanks so much for putting me on the right path!

Hey guys! So I've been playing bass for about 15 years. I'm 100% self taught and I would call myself a pretty good bassist. Certainly nothing special, and have incredible room for improvement! I've played in punk bands, metal bands, folk bands. My current band is a metal band, and I recently...

Perfect!

thanks guys! Both cabs are 4 ohms. The 4x12 is listed at 450 rms and 900 max. The 8x10 is listed at 1200. I assume thats the max, but I can't find the rms, so i'm guess more around the 8-900 area. My biggest concern was whether or not the BX500 would be able to push that many speakers. But I...

Thanks for the fast reply! I love the high end sounds from the 8x10 and the 4x12 has lows the 8x10 could only dream of! It could be a really great combo! The 8x10 is right around 1000, according to the specs, but more likely closer to 800. And I'm pretty sure the 4x12 is around 500, but I'm not...

Hey guys! I have a Carvin BX500 and I love it. I've had it for several years now. I've run it through either a Carvin RL810t or a peavey 4x12 bass cab, I think its the TVX? What I wanted to know is if any of you guys know if it would be safe to run both of them at the same time. The head is 2...

The downside about keeping it standard is that I'll have to relearn all our songs. And I really don't want to do that. I think I may try to do a drop b tuning. Keeping the low b standard, and tuning the rest of the strings up to match. That should harmonize with the E and SHOULD work. As long as...

I'm married, so I've been playing with the dusty end for years!

Hey guys! I'm sure it's been discussed, but I can never find anything with the search bar. So I'm in a metal band and my guitarist recently got an 8 string and we've been jamming in drop E (so he just drops his f# to e). Now I know dropping a bass that low is not only really tough but sounds...

Hey guys! I am looking for a string through Epiphone bass bridge like the one pictured. I recently picked up an 80s or 90s Epiphone bass. No model number but I'm pretty certain it's an accu bass. I got it for $50. The only reason I bought it was because the guy put a badass II bridge on it. I...

thanks guys! I appreciate your feedback and will probably pass on the amp. sound wise, which is better to you?

anyone?
