Thanks everyone for the feedback, this has all been really helpful. I'm aware that the amp colors the sound. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to be using the speaker cab sims in conjunction with a bass cab, but now that I think about it (like someone said above) this was a dumb idea. I'm...

Hey guys, I'm curious if anyone has any tips for using the Line 6 Helix on bass and getting a usable tone out of it - emphasis on "usable". I see tons of guitar players using it but not many, if any, bass players using one. I've had the Helix for a year now and haven't been able to get past...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town for work. Here's the best photo I could get of the inside of that truss rod area. It's a little difficult to see in that pic but it looks like an allen wrench.

I think you're right, this piece looks familiar but the guy who worked on my bass last said he pulled that piece out on purpose. Not sure why? Is this what you're referring to? https://www.amazon.com/Fender-American-Standard-Truss-Rod/dp/B0025PDPH8/ Also, what does the tool look like that goes...

Hey everyone, I have a Squier Classic Vibe 60s P bass in fiesta red that I can't seem to find a truss rod adjustment tool for. Inside the neck is the male end of the truss rod, not the female end, so I can't use an allen wrench to adjust it. Does anyone know what tool I need to buy to adjust...

Hey Genzler club, I'm back with another question for you guys. I have a ShuttleMAX 6.0 and it has 2 channels, both with a gain and volume knob. Then there's the master volume knob. I never really understood the relation between those 3 knobs on that amp, and I see that the Magellan 800 has a...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the input everyone! I wound up placing an order for a Nu Classic 1x12" this afternoon! It should be here before the weekend. Can't wait to put it through its paces next practice :bassist:

Ok so I am off base thinking the 210s are lacking lows. It's always hard to tell from YouTube videos so I'm glad someone said something. I like the idea of the 350 + 112 combo but I'm always apprehensive about having less juice than I need. I really wish the BA series was in my price range...

Hey Genzler folk, I could use some input on a new rig if you guys wouldn't mind giving some insight. If this isn't the place for this and I should just make this its own thread, let me know. I currently have a Shuttlemax 6.0 and GK Neo 212 II. This setup isn't ideal for me because it's both...

My 2x12 is 8 ohm. I heard that GK stopped making 4 ohm 2x12s somewhere, I thought? I know the 1-12 on top of a 2-12 was @rag approved, I just wish I could find the newer 1-12s more easily. This smaller cab is meant to be mostly for practice and that "little bit extra" when playing out. I have...

Hey guys, I used to frequent the forums here years ago but had to take a break when life got in the way. I recently joined a group that started playing out, which has been great, but I need to update my rig a bit. It looks like a lot has changed since I was in the bass world, so I could use...

Up for sale is my trusty AxePort Pro. I received this as a gift in 2013 and have used it faithfully since. It's got some scratches on one side (see pics) but is 100% fully functional. This is only being sold because I'm upgrading my recording situation as I'm now jamming with a drummer who is...
