    Bass tone: can you get any tone with any bass PUs? (a guitarist's perspective)

    Wait, you're a guitar player and you care about bass tone? Amazing!

    Who makes a passive P with a J neck?

    Heck, build your own! Easy to do, everything bolts together.

    More low end needed with ampeg micro-vr stack

    Hi thepoint. I have the Micro-VR head, and sometimes run it with a 2x10 cab (not the ampeg one). This is the rig I use for small clubs backing acoustic/electric acts. I like the Micro-VR head and my friends look at it and say things like "what does that little thing want to be?" I've found...

    AMPEG B115E cab spkr replacement: C2515 vs.Kappa-15LFA

    Jaco who?: Ooops! Good catch about the Basslite being 4 Ohm. We don't want that do we? I looked at the Emmy Kappa-15A (non LF version), and some shops are selling them as PA speakers (I guess cuz of the high wattage rating?). 2 x 210XL's = that's would make too much sense! ;) I guess...

    AMPEG B115E cab spkr replacement: C2515 vs.Kappa-15LFA

    AMPEG B115E cab spkr replacement: So I want a 15 that can take a punch - as in, being powered by a AMPEG PF500 in full out 500W mode (4 Ohm). The "rig" is a AMPEG PF500 head, a AMPEG B115E (1x15 cab) and a Harkte 210XL cab. Wired so the rif runs in 4 Ohm load.t At higher volumes, The...

    Your 20 years HS reunion.. Good gig?

    Last summer, my old HS bandmates (who went to a different HS than me) decided to get together for the first time in 30 years to play a reunion for their school class. We did it smart, we shared any new tunes we'd like to play online, and we each had our parts ready to go. At the actual gig, it...

    Need source for single colored bass strings

    Bruddah's I’ve come upon what is perhaps a bad habit. I have a nice IB SR405 5 string bass, on which I put a black colored 5th string. The rest of the strings are “normal” colored, like DiAdario XL’s. My thinking on the black 5th string was it would help me “visualize” the neck better...

    Ampeg PF500 - all I'll ever need.

    I've had this head for about 9 months, many gigs. It's the bomb. Search is over. The compression circuit is very musical. If you can't find your sound on this thing, then I suggest you take up another instrument. No probs with this thing at all. Perfect "working mans" bass head. I play it...

    Getting that "piano sound"

    My 2cents: I took my new-ish 8-string ( 4 pairs of two - octaves) out to a gig last week. D'Addario EXL170-8 string set. Was getting a MONSTER big piano. Those unison octaves were (unexpectedly) the biggest reason. HUGE bass guitar sound. I loved it!

    NEW P BASS-BOAT ANCHOR

    These days, paying ~$1200 for a Precision - just because it's MIA - is silly. But Fender gets away with it because there are people out there that don't think so. Kick me in the nuts if you will, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

    Ampeg PF500 Fan noise any fixes?

    I just powered up a new PF500 out of the box. Fan is whisper quiet. Perhaps they "fixed" a previous issue and started using really quiet fans?
