    Strings sound too twangy and bright?

    Sorry for the really late response! He loosened the strings a good amount and then properly tuned them. I'm thinking that they just wore in over time.

    Drummer to bassist

    Another drum-to-bassist here! Really you should go to a music store and try them out for yourself, for both sound and feel. Personally I love the feel of P basses and the sound of it fits the style of music I play. Really it all depends on your personal preferences. Hope I helped and good luck!

    Strings sound too twangy and bright?

    Mini-Stack or Combo Amp?

    Probably going to go with the Micro CL, guys! I went down to my local Sam Ash and tried both amps out. The CL gave out a clearer, more treble-y sound that I really liked. Thanks for all of your opinions! ~Zach

    Mini-Stack or Combo Amp?

    Hey guys! So I'm looking at buying a new amp to replace my cheap 10 watt that I have now. What do you guys think would be a better buy for the money, an Ampeg Micro CL mini stack (first link) or an Ampeg BA115 (second link) combo amp? What are your opinions on them? Thanks for the help, ~Zach...

    Hello from Pennsylvania!

    Hey everybody! So my name is Zach and I'm new here at the TB forums. I've been fiddling with the bass for about a year now and I should be getting lessons by the end of this month. I just recently got my hands on a Fender American Standard P-Bass in a two tone sunburst and I love it:D...
