Hey Talkbass, For quite some times I've lurked around Talkbass but never really contributed. I think this might even be my first post (can't remember last time I posted!) Anyways, a hobby of mine is to make mixes where I sample songs and mash it together with some drums and stuff. I've...

Thanks everyone, I really really appreciate your input. It didnt even go through my head to think about the windings. How dumb of me! ;D Thanks again!

Hey TB, I got a MIA Jazz a while back, and since then I've noticed that the open A string flops around while i play. It really doesn't ring out properly like all the other strings and sounds dead. After a little troubleshooting, I've come to the conclusion that the slot for the A string on my...

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all your input! :)

Hey I've been interested in getting that growl the jazz bass is known for, but have had a hard time. I've got myself a MIA Jazz, so the bass shouldnt be the problem. An example of nice a tone: Around 28 Seconds in at the start of the verse. Listen to the bass...

Hey, So we've been playing for about a year and a half and done a couple performances within my High School so some people already know us as 'Frantic Dub,' our current band name. Fairly recently, our main guitarist had to move away and since our drummer isn't really content with the band...

Hey, I voted bass 2, cause I thought your overall tone was better. Btw, I really enjoy listening to your style, any tips on how to play that way? How long have you been playing? What did you record with? Nice clip! :bassist: -two1frets

*Please Move This To Pickups Forum Please. By mistake I posted in the wrong forum. doh. :smackhead: * Hey I'm looking into buying a new American Jazz Bass. I fell in love with the Olympic White with Tortoise Shell pick guard combination, but now my only dilemma is to choose active or passive...

Thanks everyone. But do you think a sealed cab is really necessary for the style I play?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for sealed 2x10 cabs for around $300 to $600 used or new. Any suggestions? I've searched around online only to find nothing... I only play four string, and I am into slap bass mainly. I play in theaters that can hold about 300 people, so I will need to be able to be...

Hey Everybody So I've been into slap bass lately, but I realized that my bass may not be the best for the slap bass technique. Here's a direct link to my specific bass: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Sting-Signature-Precision-Bass?sku=511022 I was wondering if...

I agree, but I have no choice. I live in Europe and its impossible to find any used gear in Austria, therefore I am forced into buying new. More opinions?

I think the SVT-3 is out of my budget... I've been looking around though. What about the: Hartke LH-500 Peavey Tour 700 Warwick PROFET 5.2 Ampeg B-2RE Ampeg B-1RE How would these sound with the SVT-410HLF? Which one would be the best? Thanks

Ok, thanks for your responses! I've loosely been drawn to the idea of buying the Ampeg SVT-410, and then using the Bassman 50 with it. If that combination isn't good, then I will have to buy a new head. I was really drawn to the Carvin BX1200, but you can't buy them anywhere in Austria (and I...
