Flats vs Rounds: There's a basic difference between...real flats vs groundrounds vs roundwounds vs chrome flats. All have a sound. LaBella flats- like the James Jamerson flats were the first flats I used when I first started playing bass. A Fender P Bass. Joe Osborne, Jamerson. Motown...these...

The point is...Unless your playing big sheds or outdoor stages...you don't have to play that loud nowadays....and even then, you'll have a DI ... let the sound guy out front use the subs and mains for the bass. You can crank it still if you any of the newer Class D 5-6 lb heads (GenzBenz...

I've got a 1 x 12" and a 2 x 12" Schroeder...nowadays just bring the single 12" with no horn (I use flats on my P Bass so don't need one) with a GenzBenz Streamliner 900...and the rig's slamming. But both our drummer and guitar player know how to play at a decent low volume. Schroeder's are well...

If you can't say anything nice...why say anything at all? Especially on this topic. Not sure of the point of Quincy going off on the Beatles, Paul's playing. The Beatles created a lot of timeless classics that have and will stand the test of time. As has Quincy. We can compare chops from player...

Jeff Genzler designs and makes great amps & cabs. The Magellans I've used I'd get in a heart beat if I didn't already have a GenzBenz Streamliner 900 as my go to head.

I looked around for the "Dual Messs 410"....nothing comes up. Is the spelling correct?

I've heard one Acme cab played by a great player here in LA. And it sounded great/punchy and clear with plenty of controllable low end that didn't swamp the room. He raved about the cab and recommends as well. I've never tried one.....having 2 different Schroeder's....and a garage full of other...

Totally agree there...love my Schroeders...light, punchy....great tone...and yes...easy on the load in/outs.

I've got a bunch of different cabs/head set ups....in the past few years I've switched to using 2 different Schroeder cabs. Extremely lightweight. Neodymium speakers....both 12"...1 x 12"...and a 2 x 12". Using a GenzBenz Streamliner 900 watt head with either. I can walk into a gig with my bass...

Who doesn't like Monty Python?

On your comment...The wavering anomally. Are you talking about hearing this when you're plugged into an amp and you hear through the amp OR just organically without any electronics you can hear this...as if it's a physical thing with the strings with the proximity to the p/up? Interesting...

Ok....I finally sent my project completed BGP 4 string bass to BGP for the people there to "hear" the flutter vibration noise I'm dealing with on this bass. 2 different set up guys here in LA hear the issue....we've tried pretty much everything to solve the issue BUT change out the...

Hey...BGP have been great. I have no qualms about buying from them...I'm only posting what I'm going through currently with this new bass made with brand new BGP parts...the neck and the body. I'm having an issue which i've heard before on other basses. I'm approaching this as an issue that is...

Well, we took the BGP Tele-P bass apart...again. The tuners, the pots, the bridge, neck. We grinded the back of the bridge to make sure of complete metal to wood contact. I put on a brand new set of LaBalla's I got from Eric at LaBella...it's my 5th set of strings to try out. 2 different brand...
