    Stingrays and sizzle.

    Oh hey-hey. So I don't want to turn this into a "WHAT IS THE BEST BASS FOR METAL!?" thread, since there are a zillion of those, and I'm sure I'm as tired of reading them as the non-metal bassists out there are. I have a specific tone question. Jennifer Young. To wit: Jennifer Young and...

    Polish Love; Bass Xciter

    Hey-hey, everyone. I've got two clean, used pedals here. First up is a Polish Love OD pedal. It's the red llama clone that was popular here. Guess it's getting some sort of renaissance? It basically lost out in a shootout on my board to a Sparkle Drive and an AGRO. Don't need three overdrive...

    A crunch with an Ampeg SVT-II

    Hey everyone. I finally got settled in CA, so now it's time to replenish my collection. Today, I got some questions for the fuzz/od/grind crowd. My quandary today is very, very specific. I have an Ampeg SVT-II, and it sounds fantastic. I love it. The problem is that, while I love that SVT...

    Moving to California!

    Not sure if this is the right place, but... ah well. So I'm going to be moving to California from Florida in about 2 weeks. I got a job with the Navy in Monterey, CA. What's really exciting is that a lot of my favorite guitar makers (Zon!) are going to be out that way in and around San...

    FS - TC Electronic G-Force

    This probably has limited appeal in the world of bass (what on earth was I thinking), but I thought I'd give you all a shot before I inevitably move it on to the 'bay. There's a ridiculous amount of customization available on the G-Force, as you can chain up to 8 effects at once. The sounds were...

    SOLD So a Stingray5, a Soundgear, and an Aerodyne walk into a bar... (FS)

    PRICE DROP ON THE STINGRAY AERODYNE SOLD STINGRAY HAS BEEN MOVED TO EBAY Well hi there! I have three basses up for sale. Let me get out of the way, straightaway, that I am not not NOT accepting or interested in trades for other basses except for perhaps one very special case, explained at the...

    Giving up on the SVT-II.

    A cross-country move will do that to you! But seriously, it's gotten to the point where my 12-space rack case weighs more than I do. Admittedly, I've been spending more of the past year working on my dissertation than gigging, but even then, bringing the big rig is just not viable. So I want...

    Older EBMM SR5 volume issue. (Pickup? Preamp?)

    Hey all. So let me set the stage. I have two EBMM Stingray 5 basses - a fretted one from 2001 and fretless one from 2003. The fretless one has a piezo pickup on it. There are serious volume differences between the two. According to my rackmount compressor, at a given setting, the fretted is...

    More stuff from TC: G-Major2

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Intelligent pitch shifting, no tap button... MSRP of $1300, which means we'll probably see a street price of $900-ish. Not coincidentally, this falls smack dab in the middle of the G-Force and the G-Major.

    Shielding my Aerodyne J bass

    When my band practices at my drummer's house, I get this horrible humming noise on my Aerodyne when I'm not touching a metal part of the bass (controls excluded). I upgraded the pups to SPB-3 (QP P pup) and the STK-2 (Hot J-bucker), and that provided a nice tonal enhancement that I do enjoy, but...

    Lost in a sea of rackmount processors.

    Okay, so I'm not really into the whole pedalboard thing. I have an EHX Russian Muff for the fuzz, a Polish Love for some overdrive, and a Sansamp PBDI if I'm really in a pinch or want some grind (may consider a VT bass in the future, though...). That's it. I don't really want any more pedals...

    Rackmount drawers

    I did a search for these guys, and they don't seem to be very popular around here. One guy said it was heavier than his power amp!? Trust me - I won't have that problem. I have a 12-space rack that currently contains (plus rack spaces): Furman Power Conditioner (1) dbx 266XL compressor (1)...

    Guitarist asks for "hiatus."

    Not another guitard story! Well, anyway, it's a sad story. My cover band has been together for about a year as a five-piece, but we've only played out twice. I've been a bit of a stickler about learning 30+ songs because most of the venues here (Tallahassee) ask that you rock face for 2-3...

    Seymour Duncan output query

    All right, so I just had my tech put in an SPB-3 quarter pounder P-pickup and an STK-J2b Hot J-pickup into my Aerodyne Jazz. The P pickup sounds *huge*, but the J pup is decidedly quieter. When both pickups are on full blast, there is a volume decrease, which is to be expected. Soloing the J pup...

    East or Audere?

    I've been reading a lot these past few months on everyone's experiences in this subforum, and all of this knowledge is fantastic - thanks a lot. I have a MIA Jazz V Deluxe, and it has all stock electronics in it. As many, many have noted, stock Fender pups are awful (I agree), so I'm going to...

    Joining the fam!

    Hi, everybody. I've been playing bass for about 5 years now (I'm 24). I was way into heavy metal when I first started playing, so I started rocking out to Iron Maiden. My first bass was a MexiFender Precision. After a year, I auditioned for and made a, for lack of a better explanation...
