    Recommend me a bright, punchy, aggressive sounding bass

    I use a G&L L2000 and when I've got it on active with the knobs on full it's incredibly bright and aggressive. With roundwounds it's a monster. Spectors and Moduluses are amazing for brightness as well.

    FS: Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 UBER 2x12 cabinet

    How does the 9.0 sound paired with the Uber 2x12? Isn't the 9.0 too much power for it alone?

    Help Me Get A Good Head, Please!

    Hmm, I never really checked out GK before. I should probably do that! :smug: And yeah, with the 100W SWR LA15 I'm using now I do keep the bass's levels on full active with no bass/treble boost. It gets an amazing tone!

    Help Me Get A Good Head, Please!

    Yeah, the biggest problem is that I've only tried out one of all of these: the LMIII. I absolutely loved it though. I appreciate all the suggestions and I'm going to try and find places/people who have them so that I can really figure out what sounds best in my head. Reading about tones is so...

    SWR LA Series 15 100 watt amp question

    I've been gigging with this amp for about 6 years and I've switched power cords probably a dozen times, never had that problem. In fact, I've never had any problems with this amp at all, even during 3+ hour gigs where it runs incredibly hot, so I have no idea what's causing your amp to do that...

    Help Me Get A Good Head, Please!

    What I'm looking for most is tone and portability--price and all that stuff is second to those priorities. Here's my situation: Last night I was about two seconds from pulling the trigger on a GB Streamliner 900 and an Uber 410 cab, but since I've only read about how amazing they are, it...

    Amp Advice: Warm punch for mid-price

    Alright, I've been driving myself crazy searching for the perfect amp from $400-1000 with 400+ watts, so I'm turning to you fellow bassmen for help! I need an amp that'll give me versatility, but my main tone needs to be warm, punchy, growly, tube-ish, and motowny, and to sit well in 4-piece...

    New Standard MIA Precision or Deluxe MIA Precision?

    I have to admit that I am enamored of the precision sound, and although I truly do love the vintage passive tone of the standard I am conflicted by the tonal variety offered by the deluxe. I am considering buying one or the other and I just gotta ask, whatya think? It's $1200 for a Standard and...

    Gear for metal tone?

    I just started listening to the Unquestionable Presence album by Atheist and I'm in love with Roger Patterson's tone. It sounds like a fretless bass but it's got such a growly thick punch to it. Maybe a Warwick and an Ampeg? Either way, what would you guys suggest for a beefy, thick, growly...

    Which new bass do you recommend?

    I've got a price range up to $900 and I've found some used basses I can't decide between: a G&L L2000, a G&L JB-2, a 2008 Fender USA Jazz, and a Lakland Skyline 44-02. I'm a huge fan of the 1.6" nut-width necks on the Lakland bass, but I've been told my whole life that G&L L2000 was always the...
