    Any bass playing firefighters here?

    Hey all, I did a quick search and didn't see anything on the subject. Just curious as to any other TB brethren are also firefighters? Either career or volunteer.

    Ordered my Low Down Sound cabs this week

    Whelp, after a month or so of back and forth emails with Don I finally got my deposit to him for my new Low Down Sound cabs. I ordered a neo 2x10 and a neo 1x15. Pretty standard stuff, nothing special or out of the ordinary. He said it'll be about 4-5 weeks and I just can't wait !! I'll be...

    Multiple speaker sizes in a single cabinet? (LDS content)

    Hi all, I've begun discussions with Don at Low Down Sounds about building me a custom cabinet. I'd like to get some thoughts from the wonderful people here at TB as well. Little background: I currently play a Little Mark II with an Ampeg 410HLF cab. I LOVE the sound of this cab, but it's just...

    Well, add me to the ever growing list of jobless

    Whelp, I got the call from the HR dept yesterday and me along with 3 other did not survive the latest staff reduction. I'm in the engineering group at a large A/E firm that has lost close to 500 employees since November of 08. First time in my adult life that I've been without a job. My...

    New Jazz bass added to the family

    I picked up this Fender Mexi Jazz last night for $275. The guy I bought it from swapped out the stock p'ups and had a set of EMG P/Js installed. I'm taking it for a test drive tonight at practice and looking forward to it. I'm anxious to see how the EMGs compare to the same pickup...

    Travel size bass?

    Hey all, I'm wondering if anybody has ever ran across a small travel size acoustic bass? Something like a Baby Taylor, Little Martin, or something like that. I've never seen one, but if they exist I would like to buy one. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I'm the proud new owner of an LMII

    Well, I finally got my LMII last night. I started reviewing them a few weeks ago and went to GC to try it out. I took along my Warwick and I hooked it up to an Ampeg 410HLF and fell in love. Went straight home and put my SVT-3 Pro on Craigslist for sale/trade for the Markbass LMII. Week...

    Thoughts on the Behringer bass v-amp

    Hey all. Anybody have a Behringer bass v-amp? I just ordered one last week from AMS and my wife called and said it got dropped off today. I have a coffee shop gig coming up and don't wanna drag my Ampeg rig and figured this might work well. Plus, my practice amp at home crapped out and I...

    Audacity tempo change questions

    First off, I'm relatively new to digital recording. I've always relided on the old analog 4 track. Anyway, I've recently downloaded Audacity to mess around with. First thing I noticed was when trying to layer some bass and guitar tracks that the timing would get way off. I used to have ACID...

    Loud hum from an Ampeg

    I have a small Ampeg BA110 amp that I keep at home for practicing since I leave my full rig at our rehearsal space. A couple weeks ago I was playing the practice amp and all of a sudden the sound dropped out and there was a loud humming sound. I turned the amp off and unplugged everything, but...

    Alembic or MEC in a Warwick?

    Hello, I'd like to get some opinions on this. I recently bought a Warwick Streamer LX and overall I'm happy with the sound. I also have an old Alembic active splitcoil pickup laying from from an old bass I used to have when I was primarily a guitar player. I'm considering swapping out the...
