I am interested! How do I get a hold of you? I am in Appleton.

Hi Guys, I have a 2011 AM Deluxe Jazz Bass V I got fed up with the electronics and went to Bartolinis and their new one piece pre amp. 4 knob, it is a Volume, balance, stacked bass, high, and a mid then there is a 3 way switch for mid frequency. It pops so loud I don't want to switch it with the...

The Baer ML112 look pretty nice but way out of my price range. I play Christian music and usually concerts are no compensation and recording sessions the same. My GK gets all the attention lately, might look into an extension cab for it for larger venues. Anyone looking for a mint 400+ in a SKB...

The 410 HLF sounded great with an ampeg amp. The 400+ not so much. I recently got a GK 1000RB and neo 2/12 combo for a steal and I have been using it alot. I like it and even though it's heavy it is working out. My 400+ is in a rack/shock case and it is a deep case so it is huge and heavy. I am...

Thanks, what a great reply. What is a sansamp VT pedal? I originally had an ampeg hlf 410 and a classic 18" bottom with it. they sounded horrible. I also had a mesa powerhouse Jr. cab, it was ok but too small. Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone, I have a delimma and would like some input. Currently I am using a Mesa 400+ and have had it for 5 years. Just re tubed it with Mesa tubes and I just have not bonded with it. It is used in studio and with the possibility of playing out looming, Weight is an issue so I am planning...

I R DUM..... sorry. I did read that very good info. I thought you had a separate thread discussing the vibrato. The strings are round wound, factory as the bass is only 6 days old. I usually play elixers. Are some strings more resonate than others? Thanks for the link, boy do I feel dumb.....

Stick_Player, could you link it for me, I searched but couldn't find it. Man, you have a lot of posts! thanks to all for the helpful suggestions, I have some direction now.

whats funny is the amp was in an ISO room and I was playing in the control room with phones on. I know muting is a part of it but until now I have not had to and honestly I am lazy and hate change. But I will try!

Intonation is right on.

Bob, I was a pick player for years. About 2002, I started using my thumb and first two fingers. Mostly thumb and index finger. I think I can overcome this problem with technique but I don't think I should have to. Especially considering how much this bass costs! I will work on the technique and...

If this theory holds true, why doesn't my BTB5 or my mexican JazzV do it? It sounds feasable to me, I will try the E on the G string thing, sounds interesting. Thanks for the reply!

I just unboxed it Fri. factory settings, I will look at the PU height though, thanks!

HI everyone, been lurking for a while, need some help. I have a 2011 American Deluxe Jazz Bass V. Just got it Fri. on Sun. took it to a recording session. After spending some time and getting my part right, upon playback we heard this very distinct "vibrato" on the G note E string. After...

I use a Ibanez BTB 5 string. The 35 inch scale has a beautiful clearness in the lower notes. The low B comes in very useful in worship music to add a lot of bottom for effect or build ups. My 2nd bass I also use is a Fender Jazz Bass V 5 string. It is a 34 inch scale, a little shorter but I...
