Okay so for as long as I can remember I have gassed for an ampeg v4b ever since I nearly had my hands on one a few years ago. My current setup is a sansamp bass driver pedal, ampeg svt-215, and gk backline 600 and a fender reggie hamilton jazz bass. The only reason I have kept the gk head is the...

Okay so Im repainting an old p bass I picked up off craigslist. It had a terrible burst finish and Im repainting it fiesta red. I think it will look awesome with the maple neck. Anyways, I have pitting in the finish and was wondering if theres way to fix this without having to sand back down and...

okay so recently I acquired an old fender bassman 100 head for next to nothing in hopes of fixing it up. I took it to a local shop that does amp repairs and was told it's not even worth repairing because of the work that needs to be done, mind you they didn't even check the head yet. The guy I...

I have a pj bass and I feel the pickups sound a little too tame for my taste. I would like to add that I can also run the bass active but I like the simplicity, and in most cases, the tone of a passive bass. Is there a way I could "liven" up the sound of my pickups without buying a new set? I...

Okay, so I have a sansamp programmable bass driver and needless to say, I love it. Having 3 preset tones is very convenient for me (especially since I can't afford multiple pedals at the moment or I would have bought the single channel bass driver) Anyways on to the problem: I have it setup...

I have a question for all you ampeg afficionados out there, what amp is this? For the life of me, I can't find anything out about it other than it's an old 1970's B100 (according to the owner)

I have the opprotunity to pick up an ampeg v4bh for relatively cheap due to my friend working at a local music store. I hear that this model is quite rare but compared to the standard v4b but not really sure why since the only difference I can find is the name. Anyways, didn't mean to go off...

to keep my straplocks from ripping out of my bass. I'm thinking about resorting to putting a bigger screw in the strap holder but I just don't want that to rip out and then have an even bigger hole. Should I just use more wood glue and toothpicks or is there a better way that I don't know about?

I found one today at a local music shop. Apparently, they had just got it in so I had to take a peak. Everything seems fine, the neck is straight, black finish is flawless, the pickguard screws are a little bit rusty as are the pickup magnets but like I said other than that everything seems to...

The e string popping off the nut has been a reacurring problem with my reggie hamilton jazz and I was wondering if I should file down the nut or look into getting it replaced. I don't think it could be filed too much lower and even with the guage strings I'm using (.45, .60, .80, .100) the nut...

I've been playing bass for the better part of 5 years now. Just thought I'd let you all know so you don't think I'm a total newb. Of course, I'm new to music theory and all that jazz. Bass wasn't my first weapon of choice either. :p
