I have a full time, stable job which gives me a steady income. To me, music is, and most probably will always be, nothing but an hobby. If nothing goes terribly wrong, I will become dad before next winter, and it's something that will undoubtedly change my financial priorities (especially re:the...

Hi guys, I'm looking around for an octave effect with a very specific aim: using it 100% wet, 1 Oct down, to get that synthy OC2ish sound (audio example attached) I'm aware of the Boss OC2 quirks and I'm not necessarily looking for an exact clone, but something that'll get me there. Also...

Hi guys, I've formed a Funk/blues trio some months ago. We wrote some original songs already, and this weekend we officially shared our first single, which admittedly is a bit more pop oriented. Nothing too busy bass wise, I kept it simple to help the groove. Sadowsky 5 string jazz into Genz...

It's been some years now that I'm using flats 100% of the time regardless of the bass. This has opened up some interesting combinations that differ from the gold standard Pbass + flats. I'd call them "happy incidents" because, so far, I've found this kind of strings to be very workable with...

Hello, I've just mounted this set on my Pbass, it's all good on strings 2/4, but on the G string there's an extremely annoying buzz effect from approx. 7th fret till 17-18 fret. Action is not too low, relief is correct, and most importantly, it was not there at all with TI flats strings I had...

Hi guys, I really LOVE the look of old clay dots on a rosewood FB when they get brown-ish. As you will know, on current Fenders, dots are made of white plastic. They still will be white in 30 years, probably. Do you know if there is any way of "staining" them to make them look darker? I thought...

Hi, I recently got this 2008 American Standard P bass. Great tone, good build quality, needs a fret dressing in my opinion cause of a ski jump from 15th fret and on. I don't know if the nut is original, though. It seems that it's made of a different material from the nuts I've seen till now, it...

Hi guys, my rig currently is as follows: Fender Precision RE57 (japan), strung with TI Flats GB Streamliner 900 Bergantino HS210 Great, great classic sound. Why am I selling the bass then? I'm looking for LOW action, possibly no noticeable dead spots. Adjusting the truss rod is a pain in...

It is known that some new-ish micro amps such as the Genz Benz Streamliner have a built in high pass filter (set at 30hz in this case) to prevent cone overexcursion trying to reproduce subsonics. This feature is appealing me more and more since I'm using a 2x10 cab (berg HS 210) as stand alone...

Here's the thing: I was thinking of selling my Genz Benz Neox 212T. Reason is, I haven't really used it since I bought it 6 months ago. I've been playing rehearsals only and found that carrying those 65lbs (it's one of the earliest models, with rat fur cover) with an unrepleacable broken wheel...

It's been a few weeks since i got my new bass, after selling my old Mayones. This is a 1993 Made in Japan Fender Precision Reissue '57, it was the top of the fender japan line at the time, you can see the brochure here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (PB 57-95) Some pics: It differs...

Hi guys, I've seen a very nice Fender P here locally. It's a '93 Made in Japan Precision (PB57-95, the same you can see here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] 2TSB one). It has nitro finish, 2 matched pieces alder body and should also have CTS pots and supposedly an USA pickup. I know that...

I'm in the process of selling my current bass, if everything goes right my next bass will be a Precision (i'm 95% sure of that, at the moment :p ) I'm looking for a vintage-ish sound, it will be strung with TI flats. Maple board (for cosmetic reasons, save for some particular color...

Hi, I've found this Czech cab maker that builds cabs based on eminence 3012HO and 3015 drivers: HOCKE - Boxy neodym That's not something new at all, it's just that they are VERY affordable and 99% of other cutting-edge cab builders are located overseas. Does anyone know how is the quality of...

Walkabout head is rated at around 180W at 8ohms. This sounds like it wouldn't be enough for a gig or even a loud rehearsal, but still... How would this head work with a single Orange OBC 115? (both volume and tone-wise) At the moment, having a Fusion 550 running @ 350W, I have a lot of headroom...

Hi everyone, I currently have a GK Fusion 550 head. I'm really satisfied with how it sounds, however for my tastes I feel it lacks a bit of mid punch set completely flat, I use settings found on bass magazine review to get the "closer to real flat sound" and I love the tone (this means slight...

I've read various threads on this forum about horizontal dispersion issue with horizontally stacked drivers. My cab is an old Parsek 600F32, it's a 2x12 cab with 6" midrange tweeter and reflex. It has B&C drivers, a very fine sounding cab indeed even though I doubt there's any around overseas...

Hello everyone. I've bought a set of TI Flat strings few months ago. 2 weeks ago all of my strings were settled except my G string. I wanted string to string consistency so I began to play alot on G string only, lot of popping and aggressive fingerpicking to make the string settle. After some...

nvm

Hello, yesterday I went out and my mother came in my room and when she left she kept the door opened. My cat came in my room, and this is the result [IMG][Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The speaker is a B&C 12PZ32, 8ohm. Is there any way to fix this...

Hi, I just got a new bass with the ETS Tuning-fork system. I have no problems at all with other strings, but with the G string there's a point when even if I can still lower the saddle, the string will lean on the bridge instead of on the saddle. I was thinking of filing the bridge where it is...

I have recently purchased a used Parsek 600F32 cab. I have noticed that when boosting A LOT my lows (I don't really play with these settings but I did that for test) and/or play at very high volumes, there's a vibration coming from the cab when playing my Low B note(kinda like a rattle). I...

hi guys, I must admit I'm not entirely satisfied with my Warwick FNA 5 string 35" scale bass' sound. My main problem is that G string sounds weaker than the others (and i have lowered the pup on the lower strings already), unless I pump up the mids (let's say above 300hz or just turn the mid...

Hello, i was reading this topic http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=626670 but i didn't want to hijack it, so i'm opening another one. I have a Peavey Mark VI bass head, the newer one with a Preamp Output jack. If you need the head manual, i can give link to pdf. Since i don't...
