    Strap for EB-0

    I bought this strap a year ago thinking it was a great deal and made sense. I have just realized that if I bought a better strap I'd have played my bass a lot more. I couldn't figure out what it was that would make me procrastinate from practicing and even just generally jamming to the stereo...

    Crossover highs into full guitar rack setup?

    Cleaned the pots on my Peavey's crossover and everything is looking good. I got to thinking, has anyone ran their highs into a fully configured guitar rack setup, ie, at least 1 preamp, 1 poweramp, 1 effects unit, that's midi switchable? I need two more cables to try my own gear out, wondering...

    Servicing my Firebass 700

    Hey guys!! I got a sweet deal on a whiteface Firebass 700, a Peavey 1x15 cab with a crossover, and a carvin 2x10 with BW speakers for $250 CDN at Long and McQuade last summer. I thought the guys were crazy at the time... I went in planning on putting a GK 1001rb on my account, and walked out...

    Indie Swamp 4, GR8 Soapbars

    Thank you very much for the insight so far!! I was hoping it was a generic shell that would be pretty easy to find aftermarket things that would be drop-ins. I will do some further research on that shape of EMG pickup, thanks again Stealth. Edit: I just measured, they are definitely 3.5" or...

    Indie Swamp 4, GR8 Soapbars

    Okay, I really like the comfort and feel of this bass. Link Removed I've only ever switched out pickups on guitars before, and even then it was always like-pickups. Single coils to singles, etc. If I wanted to change the pickups in this bass without any routing, what options do I have? Do I...

    Spending $2,000 for a bass?

    I can't believe you guys take the time to write all these lengthy waste of time internet arguments of opinions. I feel like I wasted 10 minutes laughing/skim reading. Playing bass is always going to be more productive than talking about playing bass.

    Help me find a comfy strap!

    Musicians are always so quick to suggest what to spend money on next... What ever happened to stretching your back before you play, and being aware of your posture mentally? That will help more than a strap ever will.
