I just purchased a G&L ASAT bass and it is perfect. My amp setup is another story. I have an Eden XLT 2X10 cab but didn't have enough coin for a good head. Wasn't sure if I would really go all in with the bass. Just started playing a few months ago. I figured the cab was a safe investment if I...

I have a 2009 Fender Jazz Deluxe V MIM. It was extremely noisy. It had no shielding in it at all, not even shielding paint. I shielded it with copper shielding tape and it is dead quiet with any pickup configuration now. I wouldn't worry about it with an American made version.

Picked up my first keeper bass. I would love a member number! :hyper: Link Removed

I personally think the whole "relic" thing was created to get money out of damaged guitars at the manufacturer. What a stroke of genius that would be if it were true. They wouldn't need to disqualify any guitars from going out on the market. They would just take the guitars with flaws and beat...

+100 :eyebrow:

i just bought some half rounds today and was kind of scared it would just be a muddy, boomy sounding string. They sounded fantastic! They have all the normal tones (almost) of rounds but are missing all the string noise and top end brittle sound. I am totally in love with this sound. Maybe the...

Thanks, I ran and bought a set and 1.5 is the magic number, as you said. Thanks for all the other info also!

Anyone know what size allen wrench or hex key wrench is needed for saddle adjustment on a Yamaha RBX170EW? I don't have any metric allen wrenches and would prefer to just pickup an individual wrench, or at least make sure the one I need is in a set I purchase. Thanks. Not a bad bass for the...

I think something may have been overlooked. Does he want to sound just like Mike Dirnt or does the OP just love Green Day music. I think there is a big difference here. I think the OP needs to be specific on what he wants to sound like or what is missing from his current sound. It may just be a...

…that, and maybe more cowbell. :hiding: +1 I'm gonna go with this one!

Wow, some of the prices of these straps makes me want to just deal with the neck kink and buy another bass with the money I saved not buying a boutique strap. Ha Ha

I just found a good thread talking about this very thing. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/best-bass-strap-weight-distribution-777262/

It's probably more to do with my posture when I'm playing around with my bass. I'm playing a few songs and then checking for any new posts on TB in between, with my bass still attached at my recording console, hehe. Just curious if a nice strap is worth it. I am just using a thin fender nylon...

I just started playing bass just recently. Since then I've acquired that pulled neck muscle feeling you get when you think you've slept wrong and can't turn your head a certain way. I have a cheap strap. My bass is adjusted so when I sit my strap is still holding the guitar. I do a lot of my...

I use a Tascam US-122 into my macbook pro. Then use either Logic or Garage Band. Looks like you already have a Mac so I would suggest some kind of USB or Firewire interface instead of a headphone only setup. More uses available.
