    How can I pad a Sunn Model T input for active PUP's

    One of my "Brother's of the Bottom End" is buying my Gen 1 Model T head. He has a Hohner 6-String bass. He states the Hohner won't play nice with a Model T. Probably due to the input level. Anyone know a way to "pad" the input without sacrificing tone?

    Got me in a Stranglehold, Baby!

    My band has covered Uncle Ted's classic for years. I've always used very heavy chorusing on the bass line. It sounds like there is more to it than that, but I just can't put my finger on it. Any ideas?

    4001 Ric Fret Repair

    I have a 1977 Mapleglow 4001. I've been using Rotosound Swing Bass strings for 30 years. I need connections on getting some frets replaced. This is no easy task due to the laquered fretboard. It's getting to the point of being unuseable. I'm having to fall back on my Jazz Bass and my T-Bird...

    recommendations for bass distortion pedals? please? anyone?

    I have a Fulltone Bass Drive MOSFET. This is by far the best OD/fuzz box I ever used. It is very versatile and very transparent.

    GK/SansAmp Configuration

    I just ordered a Sans Amp RBI as an upgrade from my Bass Driver DI. (I have not recieved it yet.) I've been running the DI through a bi amped GK 700 RB on the front end. Is there an optimum way to patch the RBI, other than RBI out to GK effects return? I want to keep the Bi Amp functionality of...

    Trying to find that Jack Cassady sound

    I just bought the remastered Jefferson Airplane live CD "Thirty Seconds Over Winterland." I bought this album new in '73, and wore it out by '75. I forgot how good this album is, and how well Jorma and Jack play together. His bass sound is absolutly fierce. I thought about new pups for my...

    Backline/FOH volume question....

    One of my attributes is I DO get along well with the other children. All I want to do is a) hear myself b) have the tone I want at the right FOH volume and c) get laid after the gig.

    Backline/FOH volume question....

    What you guys say makes a lot of sense. We play mostly medium sizeclubs. We don't have a sound man, have very little time for a sound check,so it's pretty much on the fly. I know this is a recipe for disaster, but the DBX Driverack PA and the Berringer Feedback Destroyer are godsend's. Then it...

    Backline/FOH volume question....

    I recently joined a classic rock/metal band. The guitar player keeps harping about my stage volume. Sez that my bass doesn't reach full volume until you get say 20 feet away. We have put together a great crown/jbl pa with subs. I have a GK 700 w/410 and 1/15 cab. I want to go direct with my...
