    auditioning for a band, and I have a question....

    I'm trying out for a band to replace their bass player. Now they have given me 4 songs to learn. And whilst I am learning them, I don't play like the old bass player. My style is a bit different to his, and I find I struggle to play the lines exactly as he does, and while the basis of what I...

    Ampeg PF500/350, part 4

    Dont buy in to the pf500 bullcrap if u want a live amp. Its a ****, unreliable live amp that randomly cuts out unless u have your bass unplugged or have it set to quiet. It does sound nice, but u cant do anything with it.

    Complete passive bass re-wiring, options?

    I have a cort j/mm and it was active. I put a p bass vintage repro harness in and wired a 3 way on switch. Get a lil buzz from the j pup, as u do, but wired so i can run j/mm togeter, doesnt hum or lower output like on some j/j setups. Works great, and made me realise i prefer passive.
