    Why aren’t class D amps pushed on guitarist like bassist?

    Why can’t we all acknowledge that different folks need different strokes. If your guitarist showed up to a patio/restaurant gig in downtown with a 20 watt tube that would be 19watts too much. If he showed up to your club gig to thrash in front of 1000 people with nothing less than a JCM 800...

    Why aren’t class D amps pushed on guitarist like bassist?

    TLDR: bassists need power guitarists need tone. congrats on a great flame inciting post lol! If I may offer insight as a guitarist turned bassist…but always a guitarist at heart! An opinion piece! Experiencing bass culture in places like this has always made me feel like a tourist. I have...

    I think I figured out the bass rig!

    I appreciate the write up. I actually dropped it off at an authorized repair shop for a different issue here in Dallas yesterday, but giving Mesa a call would still probably be a good idea. That way I could let them know there’s more than one thing wrong! I like to have a great deal of...

    I think I figured out the bass rig!

    Right on! Tbh I was hoping you’d reply, you and aged horse seem to be supreme experts. Thanks for the input!!

    Identify that bass!

    thanks! I can’t be the only voyeur to benefit from conversations that happen on this site, for years I’ve cited information posted by agedhorse! (I am a Boogie fiend) but to be a part of it is pretty cool too. Even when I put my foot in my mouth it’s nice to have a knowledgeable consensus...

    Identify that bass!

    It’s a fun ride! The pickups aren’t labeled but they are fat and juicy. Action is decently low, tension is a touch light for me but they’re the heaviest gauge strings that will fit. When Beej mentioned the foto flame finish that hit the nail on the head. It’s not genuine maple but I’m not picky...

    Yup! It’s low but not too low, if there’s such a thing. Sounds just right
