Hello, this seems like a dumb question but I just got a new TC RH450 and it comes with both a digital out and a line out. My question is what is the difference between the two? I have a Focusrite Solo audio interface, and I'm not sure which of the amp's Outs I'm supposed to use to connect it to...

Thanks for the input guys. I think I ultimately just have a bass with a rather temperamental neck. I do recall during the last few days in winter right before it started to get hot here (roughly late May) Iowa that there were some colder nights, and I did have to loosen the truss rod one night...

Hi, I purchased a EBMM USA SUB Stingray about a month ago, and although I adore its sound, after playing with it past the initial honeymoon stages I've noticed this thing has come with its own plethora of set-up quirks. The most obvious is that the neck seems to move far more often than any...

I'm gonna board a plane to Asia in a couple months. I'll likely be bringing an instrument back, so I'm going to bring an empty case with me on the initial trip to. Currently I own one of these hard cases: Invalid Link Removed I plan to simply check in my bass, as I would like to avoid the whole...

So far I'm leaning towards the MB Blackline. In no shortage thanks to Jimmy giving a very concise description of what I was looking for in terms of sound and tonal descriptions. This thread has also pointed me to the existence of Revsound cabs, and based off what I found off of 20 minutes of...

Cool, I was flip-flopping on actually writing out on more specific on what I wanted tone wise, mostly because I didn't want to write an essay and a half on my initial post. Tone wise I'm more of boosted mids, cut highs (frowny eq?), heavy fingerstyle type guy. I rarely slap (in fact I almost...

Hello, After years of playing loaners and out of low-wattage practice combos, I would like to dip my toes into actually setting up a small but decent bass amp rig. For my intents and uses (home recording and small occasional bar gigs, all usually with a PA) I've been looking at something...

I just got a DOD Milkbox that came in early in the mail. Best thing to come back to after a long day of work. Super happy with the compressor. Does the subtle compression thing super well and added a nice dark, thick, warm quality (very creamy and milky, in a way that befits its name) to my...

Looking for some opinions on which sets of flatwounds to choose. I'm throwing them onto a 2 band eq Stingray, and trying to emulate that mid-rangey late 70s disco bass sound. To be more specific I'm not looking for the James Jamerson thump, but something a bit more punchy, less thuddy, and...

I would like to delve into the art of synth bass (or key bass, as some call it). I know nothing about synthesis, but would love to learn. My budget is around $500. I've done some good research, and narrowed my choices to two very popular but very different synths: Korg microKorg and the Arturia...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] So today I performed a bridge change for my Squier SS jag. The stock bridge was swapped out for a Hipshot A style. The million dollar question is....did anything change? Well, the changes are subtle, and its most obvious...

Hello, I'm trying to emulate the synth bass sound with an electric bass on this song. Any clue how I can achieve this? I've poked around and some people suggested using a octave/fuzz combo and tweaking accordingly. Also, I'm not too fond of actual "synth pedals" because most synth pedals...

His Jaydee basses were better. Got a cousin who has the Status Paramatrix and an old Jaydee MK. The Status sounds very rattly, very trebly, and very twangy. The Jaydee sounds funkiers and more rounded.

Hello, I've recently began to teach myself theory bit by bit lately, and have recently started on the subject of chords. As one of the practice pieces, I've decided to settle on Vic's Isn't She Lovely arrangement. Namely, the opening chords he uses as his first loop. I seem to be a little lost...

Try Viktor Lörincz's "Boomerang". Its about 2 minutes long, but if you can get it down, its pretty darn impressive to anyone. There's a full transcription of it on the No Treble website. Also, any tunes done with a looper is usually quite impressive. Victor's "Isn't she Lovely" arrangement never...
