how do the alumitones sound?

i use both... i solo my p pickup and use the j pickup for a thumbrest :D

i tend to solo my neck p'up. my spector has a pj emg combo set. i used to blend the j into the p but, it really didn't make as much of a difference as i like, so i started going full on neck pickup. if i want a midrange growl, i bump my mids up on the eq. p p'ups just sound fat and growly anyway.

this thread is the devil. screw all ya'll for giving me major GAS pains :D:D:D also, thndrstk6, your a total doctor Frankenstein. just browsing around this thread has actually inspired me to finally refinish my jazz and stingray's into some of the fabulous mock-ups you've made. they are all...

line6 bogner 2x12 combo, fbv shortboard, shure sm57. really, that's all any guitarist would need to play just about anything except steve vai covers.

must resist urge to point out how suspect churches really are. on the main topic of the thread, i played a gig last night without FOH just like i do every other wednesday through my 100 watt fender rumble. i bought it for 200 bucks used and at half volume i'm too loud. i play in a...

in my area i have 6 music stores to go to. not a guitar center closer than 2 hours. i have been to guitar center in lancaster and monroeville (near harrisburg and pittsburgh respectivley) but honestly, not impressed with the sales staff at either. when you got a wad of cash in your pocket, it...

i've been using a 100 watt fender rumble to gig with for 2 years. i play around 6 shows a month, and practice once or twice a week. i've never had a problem with it. i've never gotten a bad sound out of it, i run the amps eq flat. i bought it lightly used for 150 us dollars, and honestly, it...

i think if you take that money and check out the used market

i've never had distortion or hiss with my rumble 100... unless i put a distortion box in front of it.

so would placing a tuner after your bass and before the d.i. box. shouldn't you take a tuner anyway? you know... just to make sure your in tune ;)

i wouldn't buy something i don't want. tell your guitarist to buy an ampeg 810 and let you use it if he thinks you need one so bad. i'm kinda going through the same thing with the guitarists in my band. they want me to get an gk and a goldline 810, since that's what their last bass player...

i know a guy locally who used to have an avatar 4x10, and he said it basically fell apart. i don't know much more than that, just that he was gigging with it regularly and i guess the construction quality wasn't that good. he could have got a lemon, though.

wow. so much dislike for zep. i dig zep, but i toke up, too, so maybe that has something to do with it... no... can't be, i usually listen to pink floyd when i'm ripped. hey man, i can respect zep not being your cup of tea. i mean, i hate U2. the band, not you, as in... well, i'm sure you...

yea, my band always has PA support, so i usually only use a 100 watt combo. our drummer has a very controlled style. the only time i couldn't hear myself was when my lead guitarist and i had to share a monitor mix. of course, i couldn't hear the drums either. and the stage was only like 10 feet...
