This just made me think of something else. I also have a BBE 31 band EQ (maybe it's overkill, but I can hear a difference, and it looks cool) and an Alesis 3630 compressor that I run through my effects loop. Will sending the pre EQ signal bypass these units too? I'm pretty sure it will, in which...

Thanks for the advice. I play in a band where I'm more of a "lead" bassist, so I didn't want to be given the generic bass treatment. Good points though. I think I'll go pre next time and see what happens. The sound guy didn't have a problem with me this past weekend though. One more question. My...

I've been reading the thread on the Amp FAQ about DI, but it wasn't totally on this topic so I wanted to ask you guys. When you DI into the PA at a gig, do you send the pre or post EQ signal? I really like the sound I have right now. Will sending the signal pre EQ mess that up? Or will sending...

Ah, I meant to type lift in the title...hopefully people still know what I mean. I have a very quiet rig, due partly to my power conditioner and noise gate, plus my Epifani is also near silent. I have a question about the ground lift switch on the back of the amp. What does it really do? I know...

I'll take it anywhere as long as it sounds like that!

So I played 2 gigs on my Eden D410XLT this weekend, and combined with my Epifani PS600, my bass has never sounded so good. Everything cut through the mix like a knife (which is good and bad...) Here's a video from the one gig, which was called Zombie Prom. Everyone was dressed like zombies...

Yeah that wins. Haha.

It just arrived at my apartment! Can't wait to get home from work and then go to practice! :)

Those upper strings just disappear! Those are the nicest basses I've ever seen...

Sweet, lovin that bubinga. Yeah, the walls are pretty cool. I was a bit sad to cover parts of them with carpet, but it definitely sounds better. There's a stage in there too that you can't see. We had to rip half of it out so that our drummer could play without moving the whole thing back and...

Nvd, are you playing a Cirrus?

It's not how many watts you have; it's how you use them.

I don't have any pictures...but here's a video with some shots in it. The guy who rented our space before us liked to get high and draw all over the walls, so we inherited that. :)

Is the music biz really talking about you? I'm in an original metal band, and one thing I've learned is that there's nothing wrong with working your way up. You don't need to be a "breakthrough artist" right away. If you're lying or stretching the truth people aren't gonna trust what you say...

I don't know if he does GK's but email Glenn at Bass Specialties. It's in Bensalem. Devoted to bass! If you don't know about it or haven't been there I'd strongly recommend it. Link Removed

Mine's all natural ;) Link Removed

Just got my tracking number! It'll be here by the end of Thursday! I'm giddier than a schoolgirl who just had her first kiss.

Thanks man, I feel better now reading these replies. I can't wait to play on this thing! I just got an Epifani PS600 for dirt cheap on consignment, and am dying to hear this combination.

Interesting point. That might very well be true.

Hey guys, I didn't ask for this to become 30 posts. I'm not saying I cried over it, or that he acted a fool on purpose. And it wasn't the fact that Ken Smith basses may be better than mine. The dude wasn't interested in talking unless it was a Smith. Which is his prerogative. But the whole...

I play in a 5 piece: Link Removed

Will they only repair them under warranty? That may be a dumb question, but IMO any good company should repair their gear that breaks for no reason.

Unfortunately, no one's going to take someone with a Squier bass seriously. But this isn't a Squier. This is a $2000 6 string beauty! And Fridge, you're right, a good player can make almost any bass sound great. I wasn't in there playing Crazy Train or Running with the Devil. Sheesh. I lol'd at...

Link Removed This is my band. It's bass heavy and also HEAVY Metal/Hardcore/Prog

Thanks guys, you've relieved some of my fears. Guess we'll have to see how it works out. The light comes on when there's too much high freq? I guess that's a bad thing to have on all the time, but it sure must look cool. Wonder why more cabs don't have lights behind the speakers.

No, he was middle aged, probably late 40's. I could tell by his tone, like pgolliher said, that he thought it was inferior. I couldn't even think of something snarky to say back, because by the time I realized he just s*** all over my bass, he walked away. The problem is people getting stuck in...

The other day I was playing my Peavey Cirrus 6 string at a local bass shop, trying out an Epifani PS600 which I ended up buying. :) I was just playing around and messing with the settings to see if I liked it when another customer comes over and says, "That looks like a Ken Smith!" I replied...

I have two Hartke heads, a HA4000 and HA5000 (neither of which are "newer"), and a 4.5XL, the one with the aluminum cones AND 4" driver (also aluminum). I loved those things. The cab is mighty heavy but I think they're a great middle of the road company. A lot of people poo poo them but in my...

I just ordered a 410XLT that I found at GC. I know what you'll say about that place, but it was really my only option, since I can finance it there. Anyway, that's not the point. I did a lot of research on them, and played one that I found on Craigslist, but must have been blinded by love. My...

Thanks everybody! I completed the surgery successfully. :) I replaced both connectors, since the other one broke while I was looking at it funny. And here's a warning to anyone who doesn't know. Batteries can go bad and swell up a bit when the reaction inside them is going on. That was part of...

How can I fix a broken 9v battery connection? I have 2 9v batteries powering the pickups on my Cirrus 6 string. Last night I was replacing them with fresh ones when the black wire from one of the connectors popped out. I think it's a pretty simple fix, but could someone walk me through what to...

Thanks AtomicPunk and Randy, you've made me think about a couple of extra things. I'm trying out the Eden tonight, but not through the Epifani, so it's not the ideal situation. I don't want my tone to be completely sterile and transparent though. And you're right, having to get a pedal or...

Thanks for some backup, guys. Ironic that the stereotype held by some people that metal musicians are uneducated and closeminded is itself an uneducated and closeminded thought... I realize it's kind of a weird question, because I don't want to sound like any other bass player, and I don't...

Good ideas Chris. We actually tried that, and "gave away" a bottle of Jagermeister to someone from our mailing list. That's in quotes because the person hasn't even responded to the "You Won!" email yet. Our plan was to have them come out to a show to pick it up, but that doesn't seem likely...

I also disagree on that. I had a Horizon cable for a while before I switched to a Mogami at someone's recommendation, and though there's surely some expense due to the name, I could hear the difference in the signal to noise ratio. I don't know about the speaker cables though. Is a speakon...

Is there as big a difference between brands of speaker cables as there is between instrument cables? I know that seems like a dumb question, but is it worth it to buy a monster or mogami or neutrik cable to connect your cab? I know that a $5 cable won't perform as well, but cables aren't the...

Thanks for the great tips everyone! Looks like we're already doing a lot of the things you guys are suggesting. The video blog is a real good idea though...I'll pitch it to the guys. The only thing is that we all have day jobs, like most people here, so the touring is a longshot right now. We...
