    Jaco's solo on Chicken ?

    Wow! Great post thanks. Nice horns eh? How the hell did he throw that low C??? Hipshot detuner maybe? Fantastic bass solo. And man, for just once in your life even, to hire horns that good, and make them wear all black while you wear bright red stripes. What a scoundrel haha.

    Jaco's solo on Chicken ?

    Using “She” and “Her” when referring to basses (poll)

    In French une basse is feminine, because meow. Or should I say, miaou. In Spanish un bajo is masculine because es mas macho. In English you should ask you instrument its pronouns, politely and without intruding too much.

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    No I don't know them to be good, or bad. Good idea, I also have a guitar amp with preamp tubes, I'll try swapping tubes with it. Thanks. =)

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    Yeah that's why I even hesitated, it seems so unlikely to get 2 bad tubes. But I guess it's 2020 so... :D

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    This is the first time I've tried to replace tubes. They're the preamp tubes of a hybrid head (Mesa Mpulse 600). The original tubes (Mesa 12AX7-A) still work but I heard some scratchy noises, and some ringing, and I thought well maybe it's just time anyways to change them both and I'll be set...
