I play approx. 50/50 mix between pizz and slap. My group does a mishmash of what I think of as Americana. Country oldies, bluegrass, rockabilly, folk, a swing tune now and then and even a little Latin music. Since they don't list string tension I'm at a loss as to which set would both sound...

I did a bit of searching but didn't find an exact answer. I know this has to have been asked before but..... Here's the deal. Lately I've been bringing smaller rigs just for stage volume and the sound out front is a total mess with the bass. We don't have a sound person and everyone is in the...

Been gigging my Legacy 800 head and keep running into an issue. The output on the DI is so hot its clipping the mixer. I don't see a way to adjust the line out level. Unless I'm missing something here. Been having to add a DI pedal to my pedalboard. None of my preamp/DI pedals are clipping...

I've been eyeballing the D-Roc for some time but I wonder. How does it feel in the ergonomics dept vs a normal body style bass with an upper horn? In the past when I've picked up basses where the strap was located higher than the 12th fret it resulted in the reach to the nut being further away...

In 2020 after many many years of only playing passive basses I got to fooling with active basses. My Ibanez EHB 5 string is getting the most love right now. When I first got it I wasn't to impressed with the sound. But then I saw a video where David Ellefson said he cranked all the...

I'm wanting to pick up a tilt back combo with a good DI. I basically need it to be loud enough to make a good stage monitor while the DI is run to FOH. Several of the little bars I played before Covid would cram everyone into a corner and I was encouraged to just use a DI pedalboard setup...

I recently entered the world of mustang basses and fell in love with blue JMJ model. That neck is sooo good. I play is all the time at home. I do have issues when I run it though my gigging bass rigs. Either a Super Bassman with a Fender 610 neo cab or My Ampeg V4B and 212 AV depending on the...

Reading the specs these look very similar. Both are split bade P bass pickups. Ceramic magnets on both. Both seem to have scooped mids. The DP127 is described as having increased bottom and top end While the Nordstrand lists increased bottom and a smooth stop. I ask because I have a 31"...

I run a Fender Super Bassman and the Fender 610 Neo cab. I know this cab is front ported so I can't figure out why I have god awful amounts of loud boomy bass behind the cab. It was never an issue when I was using small amps and DI. But I'm addicted to the feel of big iron bass amps now. Gotta...

The rig: Super Bassman 300 Fender 610 front ported neo cab. P bass w/flats I've been using this setup most of the year and I keep having issues. I go walk out front and set my amp to where it sound right. On stage in front of the amp I generally don't have much stage vol. Walk out 15 feet...

He gets to the Gibson at the 8 min mark. Sound quality is good. Been sitting on the fence for weeks waiting for more clips and user reviews. Keep thinking it would be a cool choice the for one of the bands I play with. A blues/rock trio where I like to pretend I'm Allen Woody. *and fail at lol*

I happen to have a Marshall DSL 40 combo sitting around and want to experiment running it along side my super bassman rig vs using a dirt pedal. It might sound terrible haha but I want to try and don't want to blow the 60w speaker that's in there now.

I've had my super bassman a few months now and been gigging with it. I got the 610 neo cab with it. Bass wise I tend to run a P-bass with flatwounds and usually play in blues or country settings. I've got LOTS of low end. And its not very focused. One gig I got fed up and pulled out a thin...

The bass 2016 Gibson ES Les Paul. I did see the thread where another guy was having this issue and filed his nut and it went away. But on this bass its different. When I switched over to a set of D'Darrio Chromes the low E rang out like it should. Swap back to the Ti and its not as loud and...

I recently got a Super Bassman along with a Neo 115 and love it. The 115 is all I need for small gigs. However I often visit a jam where they have an Ampeg 8-10 set up. Haven't been able to use my own head up there to test it with the Bassman tho. But that cab makes you feel like the god of...

I very close to going for the v4B AV212 setup. After literally hrs of reading here on the forums the 2x12 AV gets rave reviews with this amp. I did notice however the AV2x12 is a 4 ohm cab, on the back it has two inputs. The V4B Speaker Outputs: 1 x 8 ohm, 2 x 4 ohm, 2 x 2 ohm. So how are you...

I sick of lugging heavy amps and an totally jealous of guys who just walk in the door with a gig bag and a pedaltrain mini. My current favorite bass atm: Hofner CT Club strung with TI flats. I am also a pick player Music styles: Country, classic rock, swamp pop, blues, hard rock *when I'm...

I bought myself a Rumble 500 but I'm pretty sure something is not right here. The "gain" knob on the far left. Somewhere between 9-10 it goes from not much to WIDE OPEN! There is no sweep on the pot at all. I've never played a Rumble before but this can't be how its supposed to work right...

Eight years ago I pickup a gig playing guitar and my bass playing fell to the wayside. Sold everything since it was all collecting dust. That gig is done so I want to get back to work playing bass again. I've missed it. Style wise: Country, Classic/Southern rock, blues, swamp pop. In the...

I've have anew bass in the mail and am going to start learning slap style. Last time I played upright was in the 90s and was studying with a Jazz player. I get how the right hand works in this style and why we turn the bass at the angle normally seen when playing slap. The right hand however...

For smaller to med sized rooms. I'd like to just be able to run two of the powered tops as the only PA. The K10 has a 90' spread and I was thinking if I sat them right against the wall behind the band we would not even need monitors. The K12 has a 75' spread and supposedly more bass. I...

It seems like most guys use the fingering of index then middle finger to pluck with. Are there any real reasons for the I-M fingering? Try tapping your fingers on a table, you will notice that your fingers *if your right handed* naturally move from left to right going from pinky to index...

About a year ago I switched over to playing with a pick from fingers. I tried palm muting but it hurts my wrist so I have been trying to use mutes to clean up my sound. The problem is that the mutes mess up my tuning and intonation. My last attempt I bought a Bass-Mute from Ellio Martina...
