I hear you; if my MK Studio wasn't already ticking all of my checkboxes, I'd be more interested. Here's hoping they stick around, though, could always use another quality maker.

Anyone thinking of taking the plunge on one of these? https://www.stringtheorybasses.com/

Appreciate all the responses; I'm familiar with the current offerings of amp stands and wedges, I was specifically looking for something to get it up more to standing level vs just a tilt-back.

Anyone ever consider trying to cut into their CMD 121P in order to integrate a speaker stand pole mount to the bottom, for running it up a standard speaker stand tripod? Would it throw off the acoustics by having a pole mount sticking into the speaker enclosure? Trying to find a good way to...

Proud owner of a Studio since mid-COVID, been using it extensively for gigging and anything from jazz trio to 19 piece big-band. Love it. But... Recently I've been down the Tone Road trying to get either the tone that is so brilliantly demonstrated on the MK web site videos, or to get closer...

Got it. Looks like it's related to what "style" you decided to use TB.com as - go to your profile and select "preferences" - choose "TalkBass 2014" and the search results show just fine: Looks like it's something blown with the combo of "default" CSS and the threadloom embedded searches...

Getting the same thing - and if you scroll further, there are images that are broken as well related to Threadloom itself... Looks like it's blown CSS or something. Surprised no one's seen this yet, it's been happening for quite some time now.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I recently picked a BLOC 80w (wedge, not watts), and was glad to find the schematic here. Just to contribute, attached is the (relatively sparse) owner's manual. At least it has real specs, all in one place.

Awesome, thanks guys. It's actually a rental bass, honestly surprised they put Zyexs (Zyexii?) on it, may just leave it be for a while anyways...

Looking to start down the path of string testing - but as for a starting point for existing strings, I'm pretty sure these are D'addario Zyex. Can someone confirm for me? Already checked this color ID chart, just looking for a second opinion, the E string has a different color to it...

Yes, the TC line looks good - I was actually leaning towards the BH250 with either a 112 or 210 cab, which is why the TC BG250-112 combo was kind of piquing my interest - GC had a used one for ~$225 or so. I was entertaining the tone-print line in order for more flexibility when doubling on BG...

Yah, that's probably not optimal....... And that's AFTER my attempt. Looks like I'll be truckin' off to Boston...

Thanks to all for writing - some really good stuff in here, really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I'm relatively new to the band (~9 months), and the sound guy is an old-timer-been-there-20-years and prefers to do things "his" way and mic the amps vs. DI (guitar, keys [when no piano...

OK, here's the deal: Playing in a mid-level swing band in NH, typical community kind of thing, 7-9 gigs a year, nothing too fancy. Upper level high-school/basic college kind of charts, big band, dance, swing. Take a listen to this recording of us doing Take the A Train. This was a typical...

Shabz - Musiciansfriend, GC, Music123 all have them. It'd help if we knew what part of the Pale Blue Dot you are originating from, makes a difference. On another note, just picked up my 2nd (after selling my 1st to my neighbor about a year ago) Mikro 4-banger at a local GC for $63!!! Couldn't...
