    Active/passive switch installation mod

    I did a search but came up dry so my question is: is it possible to install a toggle switch on some of my active basses to default to passive mode in the event of battery or wiring failure? I have a Hohner BV headless with this factory set-up and when active mode failed in rehearsal I was still...

    Multi Scale/Fanned Fret Basses

    Hi all, Just wanted to know your experiences on how easy or not it is to get used to a new multi scale/fanned fret bass and also to switch back and forth between regular and fanned fret basses? As a lefty we don’t get to try this option but an Ibanez opportunity has come up so… your thoughts...

    Hartke 112 8/4 ohm switching cab

    Just interested to find out if anyone has played this cabinet solo, switched the ohmages & noticed any appreciable difference in volume or tone with the change in power/headroom from 8 to 4. I understand about 10 times the wattage to double dbs, just talking any perceivable difference.

    The coolest synth bass lines ever!

    Ok, guilty as charged your honor, I'm a 70's/80s tragic who loves synth basslines but refuses to play them on keys; it's bass in hand & pedal underfoot. With my Korg G5, Zoom B1on & MS60B at the ready, I'm only missing an Akai Deep Impact so educate me more & recommend some of your all time...

    Weight listing for Cabs & Combos

    In the manner of a few other useful threads listing nut widths, bridge string spacing & the like, I thought a collation of cab & combo weights would be useful for many members, especially us older ones where weight could be a major factor in choice. I decided to restrict the criteria to 110...

    Moisture in wenge necks & fretboards

    I need some advice from those in the know or even from the tech dept at Warwick. My 2 thumbs were sitting in their gigbags in the front room & I noticed some mold spots from moisture on the rear of my '97 b/o thumb 5 fretless neck, wiped it down but some spots remained in the pores. Same prob...

    G&L bridge or....

    Need some advice. I have an Aria IGB68/5 lefty but the bridge is clearly designed for righty as the lefty B & E strings can't be adjusted back any further so intonation is out markedly. If I played righty strung lefty no probs but the cavity under the bridge makes a normal bridge unusable as...

    Thumb pups mod?

    I'd like to fatten up my otherwise fine sounding bass to make it perfect. How feasible/insane would it be to replace the 2 j pups on a b/o 5 thumb with a $$ pup & have it routed for another slanted j in a neck-ish position a la the dirty blond 5? Or even just get an extra j pup in p position n...

    110 to 240v conversion for Line 6 & Nemesis combos

    Hi all, checked both company's websites & did a yahoo/google search & came up empty so hoping someone on here may know or have heard. Living in Japan but looking to go home to Australia & have 2 combos, a Nemesis 210 & a Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110 I'd like to take back with me to keep or sell...

    Aurora Color Coated Strings

    Just wanted to get various opinions on Auroras as they don't seem to be very popular or sought after but I have a few sets on my 4s & 5s & think they're great in all areas; sound, feel, lifespan n cost. Here in Japan I got a few sets for a gift n now the only store stocking them is blowing them...

    Old strings charities & recycling

    Is there any charity type organization that we can send old strings to? Rather than just adding to landfill, if there's some place that coordinates such a thing, I'd be happy to pay to post off a good few sets to Africa or elsewhere where they would be appreciated; better than bicycle cables...

    PA/FOH supported gigs

    Just interested in what bar/pub/club gigs are like in the US/Can, UK, EU & other areas. I played in & around Sydney, Australia in many different bands for over 10 yrs & every gig I ever did in a venue of over about 50 people was PA supported, with the bass thru the system, DI'ed, along with vox...

    Switchable impedance & voltage

    Apologies if this has been answered but I did a search & didn't find anything so here goes my 2 cents. Q1. Can anyone explain why 99% of makers WON'T allow amps to be 100/120/220/240 volt switchable? Genz Benz auto detects & Eden has a switch & a few other makers do allow it but most don't...
