    New to bass. Need a quiet amp!

    A big thank you to everyone. The reason it gets too loud is because my baby son sleeps in the bassment, and when you add the Hi-Fi to play with a track, the volume goes up and up. I don't really like Amplitube 5, it gets weird sometimes with the audio. I will for sure try direct in my...

    Never played, action too high?

    Silly question.... BUT! Is it normal that the action is getting higher and higher as I go up the neck? I've played guitar for 15 years and I'm used to guitars. It's a vintage modified squier bass that I got used. The action at the nut is very low and great, but much higher at the 12th fret...

    Need to choose Bass as Xmas gift

    I'm 100% new to bass, (not music and playing instruments). I need a 4 strings bass for punk music. What I'm looking for is an instrument that will be built well enough that the neck will be nice and setup well. I had a new Squier years ago and the neck was so bad that it put me off playing...
