    Triaging signal noise in home studio configuration

    I'm trying to isolate where a nasty, pitchy noise is coming from in the home studio setup I've been building. I have been going through the steps to identify the cause of this. I've found a lot of videos about 50-60 cycle hum, but nothing I've seen replicates this distinctly pitchy noise I'm...

    SOLD Noble Dual Vacuum Tube Preamp/DI #15

    An early representation of what has become a part of every gigging and recording bassist's gear! At #15 (photo below), this is one of Jack's earliest models- only six off from Janek's #9! I sent this over to Jack early last year to replace one of the 9v plugs and for a complete servicing, and...

    No longer available Rare 2014 Ribbecke Halfling Bobby Vega

    An absolutely stunning Bobby Vega Halfling by master luthier Tom Ribbecke from 2014. I bought this about a year ago, and while I love the aesthetic of this instrument, I don't think this is right for me. The woods leveraged are Flamed Maple for the sides, back, and neck, and a great carved...

    Hey all, I have a question and I'm not entirely sure how to search it - so here goes! I'm going to be touring the east coast with my band over this summer, and I know some of these gigs will have a backline rig. My question is, I'm debating whether to bring my entire rig (Aggie AG500sc + 2...

    Nordstrand Dual Coils in a Precision bass...

    I've been having this idea of modding a Fender Pbass with a Nordy dual coil pickup. The woodwork involved is not the setbacks for me, but I'm hesitant on deciding between a Nordy wired in series vs. one wired in parallel. What would be the sonic differences vis-a-vis a Pbass with this mod...

    FS/FT: EHX Clone Theory

    Up for grabs is my EHX XO Clone Theory. I've had it for about a year and a half now, and the majority of the time it hasn't been on my board. Its basically chilled in its box, so I figure it can go to a better home. :) No issues with the unit (its sat in its original box with the original...

    New Studio Project... Need Some Board Input

    Figured I could use some advice on some pedals I'm looking into for a new studio project I'll be joining in on... I'm getting into something new, a collaboration that'll have sounds similar to The Receiving End of Sirens. I have a rough idea of what sounds I was looking to put together for...

    Enigma for MJ's Scream?

    I heard the demo for the new EHX Enigma, and the first song I heard in my head was Michael Jackson's '95 release Scream with sister Janet. Would anyone else agree this is a useable example of what the Enigma could sound like? I know it isn't out yet, and I'm not looking to cover this song...

    Anthony Jackson on Casino

    I think at least a third of my posts on this site are in regards to Anthony's playing one way or another, but that won't stop me from asking more! :cool: I've been listening a good deal to Al Di Meola's album Casino lately. Are there any Jackson aficionados who can help with understanding...

    Guitard Stories

    Figured this would be a funny thread... I've been working with this singer songwriter for a few years now, and the product of our working together has been pretty solid. We're currently working on a new album, and the producer shot me a text to tell me to get my act together or that he'll...

    EHX Knockout gain issues

    I've been using a Knockout for some time, and while its great for really shaking the windows and getting a solid sub sound, I'm having trouble getting used to the amount of gain that comes with using it. Even with my passive P bass, the pedal throws my amp into clipping with the Dry set at 2...

    Warwick neck question

    Has anyone ever put a finish on their Warwicks neck? I gotta say that even with waxing a couple times a week, it still tends to get sticky during long practices and/or gigs :mad: I'm thinking of lightly sanding the neck and applying a think finish to keep this from happening. Does anyone...

    Can I get a review of the new single?

    Link Removed The first song is the pre-mastered copy of the single I did with my friend Steve. I ran two signals through a GT DI (one clean, right from bass; the other went through an LTD SR and an Ampeg Portabass 2x10 combo). I am going to give him feedback before he finishes the track, the...

    Where to put lo/hi pass filter?

    Right now I'm running a small board for some singer songwriter projects, and I'm trying to figure out whether to put my EHX Knockout before or after my LTD SR overdrive. Does anyone have a suggestion perhaps? Thanks, Mags Edit: Just so everyone sees, the chain I'm running is: Bass >...

    Fender Precision Nut

    I recently got a vintage Precision bass off of someone on here. The bass is in wonderful condition, the only issue was the E slot on the nut was too worn down to hold a new string. I went online and I bought the TUSQ replacement nut from Graph-Tech, and I just recieved it today. My issue is...

    Retractable Dolly's?

    Does anyone know if you can purchase suitcase-style dolly wheels that you could mount onto your amp? I have an Ampeg PortaBass 2x10 combo, but it can't handle high output well.
