Hi there, Just got a custom P-Bass I had myself build from a luthier. Tried it for the first time at a soundcheck tonight and had to turn the bass down completely on my Micro-VR to have a decent sound that has punch without being boomy. Now I requested the bass to be a replica of a 62'...

Hi there folks, Here's a clip from a show I did last night with my Ampeg Micro-VR rig. I got the head and 2 cabinets and the sound is live from the camera from someone in the audience. No link to the board, it's what you would've heard with your own ears if you'd been there. Well ok, minus...

Hi folks, I want to know what you guys use to bring your micro rig on the road. It was good until know in the trunk of my car but I got some dates on the road where the rigs are going to travel in either a truck or a trailer and I want to make sure that it remains safe from dins and...

Hi folks, I was just wondering what are your experiences with this head as far as reliablity goes. I bought it along with the small cab and like it very much so far. To the point of considering buying an extra cab and sell my big heavy rig. I used it last night on a folk/rock gig. The...

Hi folks, Being a lefty, it is very hard to find a P-Bass that captures the 1962 era sound. So I recently bought a used lefty Squier korean made P cause it was dirt cheap. It sounds pretty good for what I'm looking for but it's still not 100% where I would like it to be. The P-Bass sound is...

Hi Justin, I just wanted to have your personal opinion on the listening part of music playing. In a live situation, where interaction with other musicians on stage is key, at what percentage would you say you listen to what you're playing / how you sound versus listening to the rest of the...

Hi all, I'm faced with a dilemma in regards to my rig and am reaching out to you guys for some help. Right now my rig consists of a Carbine M6 and a DB 410. I really love this setup and it sounds killer. However, I've grown tired of the weight. So I'm looking into selling it all to get a...

Hi there, I'm having a very hard time hard time finding a lower end lefty p-bass and recently came across two opportunities but having a hard time decide and was hoping you guys can give me some pointers if you had experience with both models. One is a SX vintage series. Went to try it and had...

Anyone tried this setup? I'm considering selling my DB410 cause i'm tired of the weight. So a combination of these two would be super modular but would it be loud enough for a rock band? Or would I be better off with a 212 + 210 pairing?

Hi there folks, I came across an add of someone selling an original lefty 1964 fender precision bass. There's a thourough description and great amount of pics and you can see that there seems to be some a couple of things not quite right to be calling it 100% original so I want to have your...

Hi! I'm just curious as to who are the british Tony Levin, Will Lee, JMJ, Nathan East etc... Bass players who are touring with different big names and doing session work over there. Thanks!

This car audio company has come up with square subwoofers claiming that it can sustain more power than round drivers. One single driver being able to deliver 750W. Could this be applied to a bass cabinet and are these the future of our equipment...

Hi, I bought a used eden 210XST cab that had faulty drivers. Decided to do a little experiment and took 2 8ohms drivers of my Aguilar DB 410 and tried them in the Eden cab. Everything seems to be okay but I was wondering about the ohm load. Now I don't know if I wired them in series or...

I had a gig not too long ago where I had to leave my cab on stage between soundcheck and show time in direct sun exposure from 4pm to 9pm, and it was a very hot day. That night on the gig one of the drivers started farting. After removing the grille to have a look, the driver is torned and...

Alright, So like mentioned in a previous thread, after comparing some cabs I decided to go with the Aguilar DB410 to Match with my M6. And as we all dig some sound clips I thought I'd try my camera to try and record directly in front of the cab. So, bear with me as far as the image goes as...

As my HS410 was still in the car from last night's rehearsal, I decided to drive to the music store and take a chance on parking. Got there and what do you know, parking space right in front of the door. So I lugged my Berg inside and set the two other cabs side by side with a Carbine M6 and my...

Is the Powerhouse 4x10 cab efficient enough with a Carbine at 8 ohms to be powerful enough in a loud rock / alternative band situation? I've called 5 different stores in two different states and all the Mesa 4x10 they have are 8 ohms. I went and try this combination and it sure seems...

Hi there everyone. After recently reading some posts here about the DB750 being wide sounding and a one trick pony, I was wondering if I was the only one who experienced what I'm about to describe. I used to own the DB750 paired with a GS212. From gig to gig, I noticed huge differences in...

...today in 2009 and you were new on the scene, What would you do? Where would you hang out? Would you still choose LA and if so why and why not NYC or London or anywhere else in the world? How much time do you expect it would take you to break into the scene and lose the day job? Thanks

Hi Justin, I need to come up with a type of synth sound similar to the one in Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams as a synth bass line. As I was reading the different threads in your forum, I found one where you suggested, among other options, the Microkorg for some synth bass applications. I looked...

Anyone had the chance to A/B those two cabs? As in-store testing is really not representative of a real live environment, I once tested a 410XLT with the M6 Carbine and thought it was way too overwhelming in the hi-mids and highs, very clanky and not so much meat. I had also previously...

Hi Justin, I posted this in the "miscellaneous" section but i'm curious to have the take of a professional musician on this as well. How do you foresee the music biz situation with a recession looming? Do you think it will be unaffected? Do you think people will go out to shows less and buy...

Hi there, How do you guys foresee the music biz situation with a recession looming? Do you think it will be unaffected? Do you think people will go out to shows less and buy even less music? Are you planning to get a day job to make up for a slow period of gigs? Or do you think people...

Hi there, I'm considering getting a kit of in-ears and was wondering what are the options when it comes to hook them up live. From what I can see, when you buy the kit, all you get is the plugs, some length of wire and a case. Where does the belt pack come from? Is it provided by the...

Anyone had a chance to A/B these two cabs? What are the tonal differences between them? And since only one of those manufacturers are building amps, anyone had the opportunity to test either a DB750 or AG500 on them? Thanks

Please delete this thread as there's been a double post. thanks!

Hi, I was looking at the prices ranges between luthiers and was wondering what was influencing it. For exemple, if the quality of sound and construction is the same, what would justify the price difference between a Valenti and a Sadowsky NYC? Between a Lakland and a Lull? The only...

Hi, Other than Thunderfunk, are there any other company that specialize only on bass amps?

I've been messing around with different pieces of gear lately trying to see if I could ameliorate my sound or find something that would get my sound the best. Now we all know that the first step is to find the instrument first. Of course you need to plug it through something in order to see...

I'm currently in the process of selecting a new amp to replace the one i have right now that i'm selling and am faced with a bit of a dilemma. I've had lot's of problems with equipment in the past, it's kind of a bad luck that's been following me since I was young. Everytime I buy a piece of...

Hi there, Since i've not been 100% satisfied with my cabs lately, I wanted to take a look at the Bergs but since I can't try one out, I wanted to have your opinions as to where it falls among some cabs I tried. The cabs I tested up until now are Aguilar GS212 Mesa powerhouse 4x10...
