So, I've noticed that the POD XT has been discontinued, or at least from most retailers I've checked at. I'm talking about the oval shaped, $300 model- as to eliminate any confusion. I know I could get it used, but I'm wondering if there is anything comparable as far as amp and cab...

ok, this may be a dumb question.. Is there any difference to the gain or "hotness" of a signal using active bass (onboard pre) compared to using a passive bass with an outboard pre, such as a Bassbone or Sansamp DI? This may not be the correct terminology, but both essentially serve the...

I'm considering adding a preamp to a Joe Osborn Skyline 5 and to be least invasive with the amount of routering etc, I'd like to know if there's room in the cavity with the tone knobs and router a cavity in the back for the battery. -Just for the record, I don't own the bass yet or I would...

hey Justin- I know this can be a never-ending discussion full of personal opinion, but......I've had both active and passive basses and like them respectively for different reasons, but find that an active bass can be more versatile, such as for gigs where you don't know what you'll get...

hey Justin, I asked you about this a while back and you gave some good advice. I'll try to keep this short. I'm talking to the organization I work for (which would take to long to explain what it is) about getting a cabinet for the Genz Benz head we use in our facility which seats about...

I recently had two bart J's installed in my spector legend and though I'm liking the tone more, I still get enough constant hissing/noise to bother me. I thought this might be the stock preamp as it was noisy before the p/u swap, but could it be something else, such as not enough shielding...

I use an in-ear system, Avioms, 95% of the time I play. I get the opportunity to travel about once a month, nothing special, but I enjoy it and it comes with good perks. (Also use an Aviom system on the road) (IF) I happen to get a bass cabinet while on the road, I try my hardest to get it...

hey Justin, I think I can safely say you've probably used the REDDI tubed DI before, or might own one. The company I work with is looking for a preamp to purchase and I've been pointed towards this DI box (plus a seperate eq) when asking around. I've read great reviews on them, any...

I apologize up front if this particular question has been answered. Are SX basses available for purchase at any other sites apart from rondomusic.com? The reason being, I've seen other models on the site www.sxguitarspain.com/sx_bass.htm , but they can't be purchased there. Also...

This question is for anyone, but I'd like to hear from Justin. I play once a month at venues that seat typically 1,000-2 people. I fly, so I'm limited on what gear I can bring, Well, I guess the first limitation would be my budget, then flying. At any rate, I bring my Radial Bassbone as...

my place of work is looking to buy two new preamps in the next couple of months and my opinion will matter in deciding what in what to get so, the cap is $1500, preferable tubed, must have eq controls any suggestions?

what's the easiest way to post an audio clip here?

I've been curious about DI typed tubed preamps. Most of them have one 12AX7A tube and some sell for around $65. I have a EBS valve drive, and while it's a distortion pedal, I've been experimenting with turning down the drive to try and get just a warm clean tone and it works alright, but...

I just got some bart J's for my spector. I have some room to raise them up a bit for a little hotter signal. Is there much difference, if at all, in tone depending on the distance from p/u to strings?

Most places I play are venues or churches etc seating 700-2000 people. I find that the bass rig provided (which can greatly vary in size and quality) can be lacking enough in which I just use my Radial Tone Bone instead, which is what I bring cause I fly, so very limited space. I've tried...

I'm looking to get some bart J's for my spector 5. The stock EMG HZ's just don't have enough punch or growl for my taste. My question if this, is it worth getting pickups if I'm not going to change out the preamp as well? I guess I could always get a bart preamp later, but I'd like some...
