Awesome. I’m looking for growl so thanks. Agreed on the preamp after consideration.

Thank you. This is helpful. I’m looking at American made ones.

I’m about to pull the trigger on finally buying a Fender Jazz ‘75 Reissue, years after passing up the chance to scoop one up brand new. I’ve found a couple of sellers with ones in good condition but have a couple of questions for the community before I do it. One I found is tricked out with a...

Wait, the January one? Is Fender doing another run of these?

Wow... nice to see other bassists out there that repect John Taylor's chops. Great player. I was about 12 when I first heard Rio (and not back in 82, more like 1993) and that's what got me into bass. Rio and Seven and the Ragged Tiger, I swear the guy barely ever hits a note that's not on top of...

My drummer just sent this email out to me and the rest of my band: "A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilization in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush...

Bangor, Maine. Nuff Said.

Just picked up my Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling H/S last week. Sounds and plays amazing but I might have to slighty tweak the action. It's just a tad low for me. She's a beaut though:

Wow, thanks for all the imput. A lot of the reasons why I'm having issues is because I don't have the manual so thanks for the link. I think I did try to bi-amp it when I first got it and it was VERY quiet. I have two guitarists in my band who went to school for this kind of thing but they're...

I am running my SVT-4 Pro into an Ampeg 1540 Cab (4x10 on top, 1x15 on bottom in the body of an 8x10) and understand that I can run the cab bi-amped. How beneficial is that really? Here's a couple of pictures of how I'm running it now: I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of...

Also, while I'm at it... I've done some fiddling around with my SVT-4 Pro but I'm starting to wonder if I'm using it to its fullest potential. The pic below shows how I'm running it to my cab. Since I bought it used I didn't get a manual with it but I am going to write Ampeg and see if they'll...

Here's a few pics of the cab. She's a bit beat up but that's what the road does! I'm a bit troubled though... I noticed that the top two 10's are pushed in when I was taking the pictures. On a scale of 1 to 10 how concerned should I be?

Wow, good to get a bit of a history lesson. That's definitely a project of mine... to find out more about where these came from and where they went. I've definitely played a few shows where they've decided it's probably safer to not mic me at all. But then sometimes I get suspicious that the...

Funny you should ask... I actually brought my camera to work with me today so I can take pictures of the cab at my space tonight. I'll post them later tonight or tomorrow. But from what I understand, they're pretty rare. I know I've never seen another one before. Thanks for all the...

I've yet to play it through my rig but that changes after work today. I'm currently using an Ampeg 1540 (4x10 on top of 1x15 in the body of an 8x10) and the SVT-4 Pro head. I can't wait to hear the tones that I can get out of it. When i bought it I tried it through an Ampeg 6x10 with the SVT...
