Any ideas what this amp is? It's red. It has circular graphics that scream out late 1990's/early 00's. Looks like it might have a 7-band graphic eq. The only photo is terrible quality.

I picked up one of the new Squier Paranormal Rascal basses last fall, an I am absolutley in love with the sound of this bass. 2 Squier-branded (and I'm sure Chinese made, if that makes a difference to anyone) wide-range humbuckers in it. I'm only vaguely familiar with this type of pickup from...

Just as the title says, my HX Effects is stuck in boot failure after attempting to update to 3.70. HX Edit is up to date. The install process froze and failed after about 20 minutes. Internet connection was good, no sudden power loss, no faulty USB connection, etc. It just stopped. Now my HX...

Kate Pierson is absolutley killing it with the synth bass lines on The B-52's Mesopotamia. I am terrible at coming up with usable synth bass patches. With a Line 6 Helix, how can I cop the sound of her synth bass on the Mesopotamia e.p, in particular on Loveland? Please and thank you, etc

Link Removed Whatever happened to the Pro series Hartke cabs? There was the 2200 2x12 seen here, plus iirc a 2x10 in the same arrangement and a 4x10. I see the 4x10's come up for sale every now and then, but the Pro series 2x10 and 2x12? Never saw one for sale new, never saw one in person...

Battery powered Luna portable amp. With optional graphics.

Two pots on one of my basses have gotten very loose, one of them to the point where it's just floating in place. The knobs are push-on with no set screws. What's the best/easiest eay to remove them so i can tighten these pots down?

I'm looking into a pair of older used D12E-D ELF cabs that came up for sale near me. The ELF series has been discontinued by Bag End, and the cabinets do not come with the external ELF processor. Is the external ELF processor (ELF-1/M/M2) required for the ELF series cabinets? Can the cabinets be...

I work for a company that operates throughout the US. Every location gets the same company radio playlist streamed from company HQ. "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz played the other day. Something about it caught my attention, it just didn't sound right. Then I realized, only one...

Does anyone here have experience with this? I have a couple of long cross-country road trips coming up (gas prices be damned, I need a vacation!) and would like a camera setup to record the entire trip. It would be great if there was an all in one gps/dashcam/livestreaming & long recording...

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are my brother's current favorite band. He's been bombarding me with links to their stuff for months but I never paid much attention. They're playing 2 shows near me in May and I can't decide if I want to go or not.

Short scale, 4 strings, semi hollow, stirs your coffee and/or tea; what's not to like?

Hi all. I'm starting to look at the Ampeg Micro stacks as an all purpose home/everyday/recording amp, to replace my 20ish year old dying SWR workingman's combo. Who has experience with both, which do you prefer and why? I only have the cheaper CL stack located in person near me, so I can't...

I've been deep in a King Crimson rabbit hole this morning. So glad I got to see them live one last time in September. That show was just amazing. Starless of course, was a big highlight. You have Tony providing the thunderous voice of God, Fripp's piercing guitar vibrating lose every atom of...

I picked this up for cheap on reverb last month. I had never heard of Jon Letts before this, but this thing was just so unusual looking that I had to have it. Jon Letts is a rather interesting character from somewhere in England, I don't remember where. I've since followed his Instagram; he also...

Actually I bought this last month... I've been looking for the right bass to drop in a NOS set of Lane Poor pickups I've been holding on to for years. I was on Reverb and spotted this. Spector NS Pulse 5-string. Looked good. Wasn't too expensive. True, it wasn't a USA or Euro Spector but it's...

I've listened to the Talking Heads since I was a kid in the 80's. How have I never heard this song until now? Omg Tina's bass is sick sick perfection! :bassist:

I was just watching this documentary about the Glastonbury festival when during a clip of Cypress Hill from 2000, this green bass with a pointy headstock and weird scoopy cutout body caught my eye. I went looking for the full video on youtube to see if there were better or longer shots of it...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Last night, September 20, Columbus Ohio, Tribute To Kings tour. It was nice of them to schedule the show on my birthday. Very considerate! :thumbsup:

Over the last few months I've been slowly building up a collection of stuff to redecorate my living room with, because that's a project I keep telling myself I'll get around to eventually. I was pretty excited last week when I found this really great framed Concrete Blonde poster from 1992...

10s Guitars; anyone have any thoughts on these? They're a Chinese company, appearing to be along the lines of "custom" guitar brands like Halo, i.e. looks nice online with loads of options and great photos, but possibly hit or miss quality and disappointment in person. The only demos or reviews...

I just pulled out the Ágætis byrjun cd from Sigur Rós to play in the car, thinking it would make a good soundtrack to all the cold frosty ice & snow. My stereo however, displays all the artist/album/track information for Ani DiFranco's Evolve album, which is something I don't own and have...

$100 craigslist score! Tribute series G&L L2000. It was all grimy and gooey and nasty. 2 hours of cleaning and a fresh set of strings and it's good as new, save for one tiny chip in the finish. I can't believe I have never played G&L before because daaaaaaaamn.... this bass THUMPS! :cool::thumbsup:

I've been plonking away lately at some 1990's shoegazey guitar and bass tones using a Line 6 Helix. There are two sounds in particular that blew my little awkward teenage mind in 1992, and to this day I still haven't got the slightest clue what I am hearing. Anyone want to help out? First, the...

Let's say you have a set of really nice soapbar pickups, one is a single coil, one is a dual coil humbucker. Both pickups are in identically sized shells. Would you rather install them in a J/HB (single coil at neck, humbucker at bridge) configuration, or HB/J (humbucker at neck, single coil at...

So, I owned two of these in the mid to late 1990's. They were great at sitting out of the way on top of your amp and happily tuning away while you played. They sat there and worked quickly and accurately when you needed them. The shop I bought them from is long since gone, so I can't ask them...

Does anyone else ever feel like just giving up? I'm not in it for success or money, I just play for the fun of it and my own enjoyment. Lately though, I've been stuck in one of those ruts where nothing is right, nothing sounds good, I'm continually frustrated and I hate everything. There's no...

I recently bought a set of GHS Brite Flats for my 5-string. I used to love these strings on a fretless I had, but never tried them (or any other flats) on a 5 string. Everything was great until the B string snapped at the tuner while I was tuning it up. I contacted the website I bought them...

There has to be someone out there in talkbass world who has one of these. These 2 basses are next to impossible to find for sale used, and it's even harder to find any kind of demo video or other recorded use of them. Both of these are "ones that got away" for me. First, the Veillette-Citron...

I can't believe I've never seen this clip until today. Peter Gabriel and band doing "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" in 1978. All of them, Peter, Tony, Sid, Jerry, Larry Fast, looking so young...and Tony with {OHMYGOD} no moustache! Looking more like Peter Garrett than G Gordon Liddy. So weird.

Anyone know if juststrings.com is still open and filling orders right now? Their website says they are currently operating short staffed and there are shipping delays, which is totally understandable right now. I placed an order for 4 or 5 sets almost 2 weeks ago and haven't gotten so much as an...

$575 for a 1-year old used[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] and a discontinued $60 practice amp? I'm about to be all over that like my exes ...nope.

I'm putting together a basic laptop-based recording setup. Nothing fancy, nothing professional, just something to record myself with from time to time. I'm tired of missing ideas that I never remember, and I have friends putting out their own stuff online who I keep disappointing by not being...

Wasn't sure if I should post here or Bassists, but anyway. Aside from a fretless Wal bass, what effects go into a good Mick Karn style tone, as in this video from leitnerjoe? I've been playing around with combinations of compression, octaver, chorus, and reverbs using a Line6 HX effects, but...

The anxiety of waiting for either payday or my next day off to shift some unwanted gear to fund a bass listed online before someone else beats me to it. Its killing me man. :laugh:

The Tone Drop I know this is probably a dumb question givin the clarity of the description, but what does this thing actually do? "...More specifically, the .047uf allows remnants of the high end to beam through; and if perceived by the player as not so tangible a thing as a direct beam, then...

Does anyone own a Fury Tornado bass, made in Canada by the late Glen McDougal? I've been searching for sound clips and/or video demos but I can't find a single thing. I've only encounterd one ONCE, in the used section of a Guitar Center in Columbus Ohio. Went back the next day with cash and it...

I've been digging back into some Widespread Panic, and the tone Dave Schools gets on 'Til The Medicine Takes is just amazing. It's big, it's powerful, it's punchy, it's clean, it's crisp, it's just awesome. "Surprise Valley," for example: How does one get a tone like that? Aside from being...

Personally I would not buy one of those cheap Chinese Fodera/Music Man/Ric/whatever knockoff counterfeit basses. But this one came up while I was searching for something else, and I have to say I REALLY like the looks of it! It can't be an original design...what is it a copy of?
