Hoping for some advice on two questions: 1. Playing live the other night with my Mark Bass CMD102P combo (and 8OHM 4 x 10 cab) the other night at an outdoor show and the sound cut out completely. The blue power lamp remained lit and the signal to the line-out jack uninterrupted (the bass...

Waved goodbye to my Ampeg head and cab today (SVT3 PRO and 410HLF)... I hope the young guy who bought it feels as good as I did when I first plugged in to 'my Ampeg rig' :bassist: The Ampeg pedigree certainly packs a punch. I won't miss carting the cabinet up three flights of stairs...

(I did search, and found some helpful stuff, but here I go anyways... :D) Is there a best way to prepare a bass for travel on a plane? (I fly tomorrow) Strings- on, off, loosened, normal? Latches- taped up, locked/unlocked/whatever, they'll just break em anyway Case- extra...

Does anyone prefer this method of preamp/amp management? I am running an SVT-3 Pro, with a Sansamp BDDI... I have tried running the BDDI into the effects loop to defeat the pre-amp (a method that is suggested in the Sansamp manual) ... As far as I can tell, without experimenting too...

I'd go as far as saying the Fender headstock shape is up there with the all-time classics of American design. :cool: I love my Fender... and Musicman... I would say that I'd even refuse to buy a bass, based on whether I liked the aesthetics of the headstock :hiding: which makes me question...

Does anyone know anything about a young bassist working in Australia named Eden Ottignon? He played electric and upright bass in the live stage production of 'Keating- The Musical'... he is great!

I am posting this for no other reason than sheer relief; that after many many false starts, tweaking and re-tweaking, wondering whether I had bought the wrong amp/bass/pedals... dialling up sounds on knobs, only to find the sounds I created didn't cut it... questioning everything...

is anyone running the Sansamp VT Character Series pedal with the Sansamp BDDI? I am lucky enough to have both in my pedalboard, but am unsure whether I should remove the BDDI (to be used only as a DI, as some have suggested) and keep the VT, or take that out to be used as a kind of...

I am not talking about the best-sounding pedal... let's hear of what you think to be the funniest, silliest, most optimistic, or just downright gnarly names for stomp boxes... Who gets to name these guys anyways? Who came up with Prunes and Custard? Octavius Chunk? Fantastic! :hyper...

Can anyone pinpoint when the supposed problems with build quality begin to surface with Ampeg? I am really hoping I have a 'pre' problem era amp :eek:

I joined TB to learn/talk/share stuff about bass guitar; I suspect that is what its primary function is for. But it has come to my attention that TB is also a place for stuff COMPLETELY UNRELATED to bass. :hmm: Here are a few recent examples of posts... starting a fresh water fish tank...

Help please? :D Has anyone tried running these two amps together as a bi-amp set up? I already own the SVT3 and cab... I have been offered the Jazz Chorus (2 x 12"), and am wondering if anyone has had success in getting a good combination of sound for bass out of them together (for...

I searched TB for some stuff about Eddie Parise, the bass player for great 90s Aussie rock band Baby Animals... not much at all. Eddie is a fingerstyle Fender/Musicman player, occasional Billy Sheehan-style runs and trilling ... 3 and a half minute pop-rock songs with awesome hooks and the...

For anyone who has been suckered by the 'Shred' series of YouTube guitar hero pisstakes (me, I'm afraid) ... I stumbled on this article about the genius who puts them together: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] A search of 'shred' in TB will pull up a stack of links to them, but here are...

Axl's quest to make everything louder than everything else seems to have necessitated the bass being 'augmented' by some guy on a keyboard playing 'sub bass'... geez, couldn't Tommy Stinson or whoever have been given an octaver? I know studio tricks happen all the time, but sheesh... this is...

(OK, I know this isn't strictly a 'Bassist' forum question... but) Listening as a bassist to music, sometimes I listen 'past' the bass and tune in to what the drummer is doing, even conjuring my own lines. I realised after doing this for a while that I have my own favourite drummers, those...

That stupid, whiny tone... I just can't convince myself to like it. I know the Pastorius/Palladino legions will be assembling on the horizon for retribution, but is there anyone else out there who switches off when the fretless comes out? Hey, live and let live and all that... but give me...

... and I am dissappointed, especially after the sound samples I checked out on TalkBass Wiki. Am I doing something wrong? I have worked every setting combo I can think of :hmm:- I have an SVT3-Pro into a 4x10 cab. I run a Musicman or Fender P Deluxe (both active). I also have a...

I have always wondered how it can be that _ after spending thousands of dollars and hours working on technique, perfecting amp and EQ settings, paying for the best gear you can afford, crafting songs and dynamics... along with all the sheer legwork it takes to actually get people along to your...

When i was just a pup starting out, i would have my (cheap-ass) bass at a height that echoed my bass idol, Mr Gene Simmons, i.e. belt buckle front and centre. From there I went up, down, down even further, down further than that... back up again... EVEN NOW I still faff about with it, depending...
