    Best Markbass Ext. Cab For CMD 102P Combo?

    What is the best Markbass extension cab for CMD 102P Combo? I like the light weight and sound of the combo but am concerned it seems to lack a bit of bottom end. On their website Markbass states the CMD 102P "stacks with any 8 ohm Traveler or Standard cab." I've read some say you should...

    Downsizing/Portability Recommendations?

    I have been playing for many years but no longer play live gigs outside of my role as the worship band bassist at church. The church has a nice combo amp that I use so no need to transport my amp. My home rig consists of a Hartke HA5000 amp, 410, and 118 cabinets. My wrists have become...

    Why String Tension Differences Between Basses?

    This issue confuses me. How can a bass of the same scale length have such different string tension than another nearly identical bass with the same strings and setup? I have wrist problems and use TI Jazz Rounds for low tension. I am after the lowest string tension and lowest action I can...

    MIA Fender Jazz String Tension Question

    Is string tension higher on the MIA Fenders when using through-body verses through-bridge stringing? Are there big sonic differences between the two way of stringing? None of my Fenders use through-bridge stringing, so I am curious about string tension differences?

    '08 Epiphone Allen Woody Signiture (Short Scale)

    ***Allen Woody Rumblekat is no longer for sale*** Semi-hollow, single-cutaway, archtop body similar to that of Epiphone's Kat series but without f-holes. The neck is a 30" short scale for easier/faster play (great for speed and bassists with smaller hands). Mini-humbucking pickups in the neck...

    Allen Woody Rumbleket

    I just purchased an Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat. For those familiar with the bass, what strings do you recommend for this short scale bass? BTW, low string tension is a big plus to me.

    Short Scale Basses

    A short bit of background - as some of you may have read in the technique forum, I have been struggling with tendinitis and carpal tunnel issues. Things are slowly getting better and I really want to avoid future problems if possible. I normally play Fender Jazz Basses, G&L L-2000 (jazz-sized...

    Lowest Tension String?

    Hi all. Some of you may have read in the technique forum I have been struggling with wrist/tendinitis issues. I am trying to identify low tension string options to make it easiest on my wrists. So far, DR HiBeams seem to be the lowest tension string I know of. GHS Boomers appear to be...

    When Your Wrists Let You Down

    (Sorry for long post). I am frustrated. :mad: In the 80s and 90s I was a regularly working bassist in a variety of groups (classic rock, blues, country, and hard rock). Before that I played upright in school, my local symphony, and swing band. 12 years ago, my rock band began a recording...

    Peavey Millennium 4AC BXP Intonation Adjustment?

    I purchased a used Peavey Millennium(R) 4AC BXP 4 string. The bass is quite beautiful. The action was set VERY high by the previous owner, so I lowered it tonight. The truss rod was adjusted nicely (proper neck relief), but the saddles were set very high. I have never owned a Peavey with...
