    testing small amps at music stores

    I shop at a local mom&pop store instead of the behemoth stores and get more personalized service.

    Modeling D.I. boxes

    It would be cool if you'd share some of those "cheats".

    Modeling D.I. boxes

    I really like my Ampeg SCR-DI, both for home practice (aux in and headphones, or through an amp) and at church through the PA. Easy to use, great range of sounds, and built like a tank.

    Anyone else totally happy with their basses?

    Hey, how is the Cort? I have two of their acoustics and really like them. Curious about the basses.

    I’d be more than happy with these four. Nice.

    Does anyone else name their basses if so what are their names

    Standard Jazz V = Amy (Winehouse) Also, since we’re on the topic: Duncan Africa mahogany = Emmylou (Harris) Cort spruce-top = LeAnn (Rimes) Baby Martin = Lindi (Ortega) Cort cutaway = Sam (Philips, aka Leslie Philips)

    Anyone else totally happy with their basses?

    I honestly am, with my one. I prefer my photography with a single fixed lens as well. In that endeavor I’ve found that simplicity and constraints make for better visual art. Maybe it’s the same deal with music?

    Second Bass for a newbie... what would you buy?

    Definitely second the Ampeg SCR-DI. It's great for quiet practice (with our without your iPod). It can add nice tonal to your existing amp. And if/when you start playing with a band, it's a DI.
