My thinking behind the power amp unit was that I could get a Crown rack amp for $400 that pushes 1100 watts bridged @4ohms and use it to power my preamp temporarily till amp comes back. I could use it later as power amp for monitors or stage sound of some kind. I have a Yamaha mixer that isn't...

Finally received the new tube and had it put in. Unfortunately it didn't fix the issue I was having. What little bit I was able to play through it before it cut out, It sound pretty much the same as the old tube. So I'm shipping it off to the Ampeg repair shop. They will probably have it awhile...

I ordered a JJ-ECC83MG. Hope it wasn't a mistake getting the Mid Gain? If anyone is interested, I'll report back on if it worked or cured the problem and if its to much on the Mid's?

I called the closest authorized repair center and talked to them about it. They recommended that it could be the tube and said if I had another tube laying around to try it, but I dont have one. Just to rule out if the tube was bad since its not under warranty and they charge $50/hr labor plus...

What would be a good replacement for pre amp tube in an Ampeg SVT 7 Pro? When I look online they are $20 - $180. So many variations of a 12AX7. I would like to keep the original Ampeg tone, so I am not sure if different tubes change the tone of the pre amp? I have not pulled the old tube out yet...

Both sound killer to me. Darkglass sounds a little bit better. I have a Sansamp RBI and it dont sound that good.

Unfortunately I couldn't bond with it and sold it last week. Probably a mistake, but it was the least played bass I have. So the journey continues. LOL

2020 MIM Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Bass W/ Fender Deluxe HSC. I purchased this from Sweetwater early this year and what a beautiful jazz bass and sounds really good. I have tried and tried to love this bass, but I found out that a poly neck is not for me. This has been well taken care of and wiped...

I have one of these (ION Audio Block Rocker Plus - Portable Bluetooth Speaker 100W W/Battery, Karaoke Microphone, AM FM Radio, Wheels & Telescopic Handle and USB Charging) It would need charged probably once a week. Fully charged, last about 12 - 16 hours. I use it to play or practice on...

Anybody have any thoughts or experience with the Seymour Duncan Apollo's or the Dimarzio Ultra's or any other suggestions in a 70's jazz bass for a good pickup replacement to get better mids and lows? Thanks

I recently put some S.D. quarter ponders in a Squire affinity p/j bass and really like the results. I would like to do something similar to my MIM Geddy Lee Jazz bass but with more warmth and fattness. Not sure what is already in the Geddy Lee MIM other than custom fender pickups. I considered...

I voted Stingray for you. In my opinion, the Jazz looks the best, the Ray34 sounds the best and the P-Bass plays the best. They are all great instruments. Keep in mind the Jazz is 1.5" across the nut, Ray34 is 1.7" and Pbass is 1.625". They for sure feel little different. The Ray34 has...

Fender Player Precision Bass Maple Fingerboard Limited Edition Ocean Turquoise I got this on Friday but didn't have time to mess with it till today. I put a grey or smoke tort pick guard, Roto 77 flats and ash tray pickup covers on it. I have black tug bar and Fender strap locks to put on it...

With MF and GC being one in the same, seems like they have way more gear in stock. SW here lately not so much. I have alot of gear from SW in the last 3 or 4 years and never a problem with anything. I made a couple purchases from MF in the last couple months and returned one. MF returned the...

Probably wrong again, but after listening to it again. Sounds like The Smith's.

Sounds like Depeche mode or Modern english. Got me stumped.

I had a Sterling by Musicman short scale and I didn't care for it. Just didnt feel right to me. I would have problems for sure, changing mid set or gig. I'm sure some people dont have any issues.

I almost always use mine in passive, unless I use a pick then I'll flip the switch.

I have tried the hb's, pb's and the sb"s and I like them all. I have pure blues on a Yamaha trbx 604 and prefer them over the high beams. I tried the pure blues and sunbeams on my mim jazz and they sound ok, but not what i was after. The Ernie Ball super slinky i like best on the jazz bass...

I'm really having a hard time putting it down. Having to much fun with it. Its a new experience for me.

I have my very first fretless finally, always wanted one but didn't want to spend a lot on one in case it wasn't for me. It is an ESP LTD Fretless, first impression was what a nice looking bass. I have a thing for spalted maple, and this sure looks nice. It was set up bad as always, every...

I returned the same bass last month, mine was the dropped copper ss. It was a nice looking bass, just to many issues wrong with it for the price. Only other bass was about 10 years ago, an Ibanez SR500. I felt the same way towards that bass.

The MIM Geddy neck has heavy poly coat. Really thick and glossy, very pleasant to the eye. I took some light scotch brite to the back of neck of mine and helped alot.

Yeah, that's the reason i went with the MIM. For the black blocks and black binding. Fender really should look into more options for the USA model for the block and binding. I know they dont have a problem selling them, that's for sure. I really like the burst on the body as well. The 3 tone...

I really like mine.

I have a BA110 that my son uses. He plays a 5er and I got him a multi effects processor that he been trying out all those funky settings and it seems like it is handling the abuse ok. It can handle low B. Tested and tried.

So this MIM Geddy Lee is what I ended up getting. When I had the money for a USA Geddy there was none to be found. This is a very shinny, classy looking jazz bass to me. My only issue is trying figure out what people use on the neck so you can move around faster without destroying the finish...

I sent mine back as well. It's a shame because it was a nice looking bass. The boost worked fine, but something started lacking in the tone pot. The tuners on these are really bad in my opinion. To much space between the gear and turn key. I liked the neck on it, but i dont think I will try...

Took some getting used to, the transition from short to long. After a couple hours of playing, it felt like home. They sound pretty descent, like anything else from Indonesia you have to go through it and check everything is tight. Several screws loose on tuners. The tuners are its weak link...

I have heard many good reviews of the Dunlop SB strings, but never tried them. The Victor Wooten strings are very light, like .040 - .090. To me some strings just sound better on particular basses. Some sound way better depending on if you use pick or fingers. I like Dean Markley Blue Steels...

How does that work between the nut and first fret? Sorry if that is a stupid question. Or is the nut the first fret? Maybe the picture gives an illusion of something weird going on there. Once again, excellent craftsmanship and beautiful bass.

THe 12th to 24th fret is dead level or flat. From the 11th fret it dives back away from the front of the bass about 1/32" and then from 7th fret to the nut it dives the other way towards the front of bass about 1/32". So no matter what you do with truss rod you cant fix it by adjustment. To...

Awesome job, post a sound clip. Does it sound like a Dingwall? Very nice work.

I have had my trbx 604 fm for a year now and it has been used every single day in that time i have had it. I have had not one issue with electronics other than dead or weak batteries. The neck is another story, I have had nothing but issues with the neck. Some are my fault by changing strings...

Have not tried the Sun Beams, but the Pure Blues sound good on these TRBX. Almost favor them over High beams.

Looks good.

I dont know if I would try to rebond that joint? Might have a whole lot more problems trying to fix that by splitting it. I would probably do what your doing and fill the gap and see if it is still opening up. I have had a few SR's. A SR400, SR800 Both of these setup like yours. A SR500 and...

I would, its all part of the 90's SR tone. If it all works good, use it. As much as I like EMG and Aguilar, if it were my project I would use the original setup or use Bart's in this SR.

Nice view out your window. Dont know what to say about that crack, looks pretty bad in pics. Alot of time and energy you have in this. Hopefully it can be fixed cheap and not effect its tone.
