    Ampeg Rocket Bass Combos

    You know, I had thought about removing the tweeter anyway (I always leave it off) and now I'm wondering if I should try that and see if the DI noise goes away...

    I agree. It's very odd. And I have to suspect there is probably an easy fix for it, but I certainly don't have the know-how.

    Ampeg Rocket Bass Combos

    Unfortunately, seems to be a known issue on the 210. So much so that I almost traded it for a 115, but I figured I would more than likely use my SCR-DI instead. Disappointed to hear that it's not been fixed. I've had mine a couple years now.

    Settle an argument. (Fender vs. FSO vs. non-FSO)

    Relatively certain that to be a bassist requires a bass. Past that...

    Anybody have a problem with a 30" scale neck purchased from Allen Eden Guitars ?

    Hmm. I haven't checked my AE neck from Santa. Guess I better get onto that.

    Sadowsky MetroLine Hybrid PJ - swamp ash vs alder?

    I would continue to be very skeptical of builders pushing the tonewood narrative, since they tend to make more $ for more $ woods. You said yourself you can't really tell a difference in videos, etc. I think you've found your answer.

    Pick whichever one you like the look of better. Any difference is going to be hearing with your eyes.

    Lollar P bass pickups: Why so bright with the tone on the higher side?

    oh yeah, totally agree. I'm just expecting fretboard tonewooders to show up

    Best gig bag for around $100...............

    I got recommended a Gator bag and it's been great. Nice big front pocket, comfortable straps, other small pockets for odds and ends.

    DEAD tuning

    You're the only one who can decide if it's "worth it" to you. Is it worth it to me? No, I like DADG or BEAD just fine. But I'm not you :)

    I think a couple of us have the PF-115s under the RB-210. I've got the HE myself, probably buried in here somewhere.
