Okay so for as long as I can remember I have gassed for an ampeg v4b ever since I nearly had my hands on one a few years ago. My current setup is a sansamp bass driver pedal, ampeg svt-215, and gk backline 600 and a fender reggie hamilton jazz bass. The only reason I have kept the gk head is the...

if only you were in the north fl area,I would definately consider trading my ampeg 215..

how do you like the sound of the new speakers on the 215? I heard one stock and it sounded amazing. I couldn't imagine having more than double the wattage it does stock. Anyways good luck on the sale bro!

I didn't sand to bare wood. There like small pits like someone poked the finish with a needle or something, like a really bad orange peel. Im using rustoleum primer and color over the existing nitro finish.

I tried sanding down to see if I could get it all out without hitting primer but I guess the paint isn't fully cured yet. Its been sitting for a day I guess maybe another day should be good? Sorry im a total noob when it comes to finishing.. hopefully I'll learn so next time I'll know what and...

Okay so Im repainting an old p bass I picked up off craigslist. It had a terrible burst finish and Im repainting it fiesta red. I think it will look awesome with the maple neck. Anyways, I have pitting in the finish and was wondering if theres way to fix this without having to sand back down and...

if you ever decide to sell im interested..

The person i bought it from works on tube amps as a hobby and claims to be very knowledgeable about tube heads and from talking to him sounds like he's the real deal he just didn't have time or money to get this one up and running i guess. I haven't yet pulled out the chassis to check it out but...

okay so recently I acquired an old fender bassman 100 head for next to nothing in hopes of fixing it up. I took it to a local shop that does amp repairs and was told it's not even worth repairing because of the work that needs to be done, mind you they didn't even check the head yet. The guy I...

do you know if a fender style neck would fit the body?

yes I have it set at unity incase of any mishaps on stage, I tend to be a little clumsy haha.. The eq on my bass, is volume all the way up, and the blend knob set to the middle for both pickups. The rest of the controls are for the active circuitry which I never use. The blend knob on the...

If by signal path, you mean when I play without it there's no feedback, then yes I have played with the sansamp removed from my signal path and there was no feedback. (sorry Im not too familiar with some terminology) As far as gain settings, I'm pretty sure it happens with any setting around or...

I play through a gallien krueger backline 600 and I just recently changed the strings. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with the way it sounds, I've heard tons of basses that sound worse, it's just doesn't appeal to me all that much and I was wondering if new pots or any other simple procedures...

I have a pj bass and I feel the pickups sound a little too tame for my taste. I would like to add that I can also run the bass active but I like the simplicity, and in most cases, the tone of a passive bass. Is there a way I could "liven" up the sound of my pickups without buying a new set? I...
