    Way too much gear, way to small space to store it... What's your solution!

    I find that wall mounts for instruments make a massive difference, Buying a couple of Bicycle Rack hooks and putting them behind a door are great cable organizers. Any of the little random things like tuners etc etc I keep them on the side of my amp with velcro. I have a these old metal cases...

    410 and 210 cabs together

    I run a decently new SWR 2x10 on top of an acoustic 4x10 thats almost 30 years old and its very true that the 2x10 gets more power but ime thats not terrible. it isnt as efficient as two 4x10s per say but the to me, having a 2x10 closer to ear level helps with projection and the 4x10 still adds...

    Good pickup for motown sound

    From what i find the SPB-1 works amazing. But the 3 biggest factors are technique, flatwounds, and foam imo...

    Homemade String mutes

    Id probably end up going the fender route other then the fact my parents arent a fan of ebay and Im restricted in that sense of "where I can buy" online. although looking at that tune-o-matic bridge style muting system... i think i may try that, im replacing a bridge in an old hollowbody that...

    Homemade String mutes

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone would know what kinda metal the stingray bridge mutes are made out of. I plan to make some my own for my P bass for the ol' foam under the bridge trick. I really like the idea of the stingray mutes (ie the new classic series or any of the older stingray models)...

    Anyone else dislike SWR?

    Rocking a GKMB200 through a SWR JR2x10, perhaps its because i dont have a SWR head but personally i find the sound perfect, crisp lows, great scoop and clear highs, my musicman stingray sounds perfect through it, although SWR + P-bass with flats = yucky imo. Some people were mentioning the GK...

    Whats the best action setup for slap bass?

    Make sure your truss rod is straigh to !! if the action is getting high it could be due to bridge or truss rod, also you slap up to the twelth fret? Personally i prefer about 7/32ths of an inch, although sugguested is 3/32nds, i gotta stingray, to so i prefer the action a little higher...

    If Bartolini is loathed by so many bassists, why then do so many builders use them?

    Earlier in the thread alot of guys were saying barts arent zingy and bright like people are looking for, Every bart ive tried is a REALLY combination of the punchy midtones and spongy fusion sorta slaptone. from what ive seen there great for like fusion jazz and what not, they seem so versatile.
