I've used Spanish cedar for bodies. Very lightweight and won't dent so easily once it's sealed with water thin CA glue. Finding a suitable neck wood might be tricky, Cherry might be a good middle ground between stiffness and lightweight. Weight and stiffness can very so much in a single batch of...

Walrus Fable & Lore go into Dr Scientist Atmosphere. I use them here and there playing live with a metal band. Playing at home I use them quite a lot. I'm thinking of making a video showing their use on bass as I haven't seen many go into detail..Ryan

My Bass Tight Fuzz is a monster, haven't played something quite like it. It has an effects loop making it even more versatile. Ryan

Played the 11 string 'Joust' bass owned by Jean Baudin at Talkbass GTG around 2012-ish. Amazing instrument built by Ken Lawrence. It was surprisingly comfortable to play and sounded fantastic. Was also running through his stereo pedalboard and pjb rigs. Ryan

Oh, 2008? Well, this could still be relevant information for anyone searching this topic. Ryan

Dr Scientist Boost Bot. That might be what you are thinking?

Wait a minute, are we talking about just hanging out and talking bass? Last GTG was bringing gear to show off, and try out people's basses, amps pedals etc. Just wondering about the intention of said GTG. I'm good either way, just don't want to show up with a truck full of gear and have it sit...

I used to wonder how footswitches got separated from their amps. I sold something to guitar center and they said they wouldn't pay anything more for the footswitch, so I kept it. Then I was the jerk who does exactly that, separating switches from their rightful place. Music go round is so much...

I sure love my M-Pulse 600 & Walkabout scout. If the power section fails in the future, could they still be used as preamps using effects loop send? Maybe even removing power section to save some weight? I've used both of these sent into crest power amp and was very impressed. I've been...

I find that certain notes sound great scooped yet other notes can disappear. On the other end, boosting mids can make certain areas of the fretboard sound great while making others sound honky or even sustain into feedback while using overdrive and fuzz etc. It really is a balancing act and...

Where can we do this? Who has the biggest house? 🤔 I'll bring a matched stereo pair of Millennia TD-1 's if anyone has ever been curious about trying one. My last GTG in 2013 everyone compiled a list of gear to avoid redundancies and overcrowding/space constraints.

I was in contact with David Nordschow somewhat recently about a replacement 10" driver. We exchanged emails back and forth, he gave me a price and I gave him my shipping info. He eventually stopped communicating and I gave up on my end. I'm sure he is busy with life and his old business is...

Crest Pro 7200 is my only portable amplifier right now. I also have a Mesa Venture combo but that stays at home due to the weight. I will use this 110 for personal practice at home, not for live gigs.

I could definitely push the speaker to it's limit. My amp was wide open, adjusting volume with input gain on TD1. With pad engaged I could set preamp gain at about 11 o'clock and stay clean. Anything close to noon would push the speaker too hard. The new driver will be 8ohms so will need to be...

So..7 months later, I will now be receiving a replacement 10" driver from Mr. Nordschow. I ended up paying $100 for the cabinet from GC which I thought was fair. The new driver cost a lot less than I anticipated, I do mean a LOT less! In the meantime I pulled a 16ohm driver from one of my...
