Hi, I just got a used Bassman 800 put on hold for me at Long & McQuade in the closest bigger city for $699 CDN. It looks mint but it was originally purchased 5 years ago and then traded in in January. Anything I should look for in these older models? Any issues? I ordered a Bassman 115 from my...

Hello, I'm struggling to find the perfect string for my Vintage '63 and I'm hoping some one can help. I've used Pyramid strings for years but their E string issues finally made me give up on them and try other sets. So far here are my thoughts. All of them, so far, have had something about them...

Hello, I've been experimenting with tape wounds on my German-Made Vintage 63 Hofner. I've been using La Bella's "Beatle Bass" tapewound set. I like the sound but would like to increase the tension a bit. I don't want to file my nut to fit Rotosound TruBass 88's. The D'Addario tapewound set has...

Hi, Selling my MarkBass F500. In near mint condition. It's the best class D amp ever IMO. I love it. Hate to see it go but I'm looking for something new. I'm asking $500 USD shipped to Canada and the US. Includes the original manual. Thanks, Clayton

Hello, This the best head Mark Bass ever put out IMO. It is in near mint condition. Everything works perfectly. Included original manual. Great head just looking for a different flavour. Asking $500 USD shipped. Will ship to Canada and the US. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I played through a Walkabout 12" 4 ohm combo yesterday and I really loved it. Very pricey here in Canada though. I'm thinking I'll try to find a used head or Scout combo after I sell or trade my Markbass F500. The thing is I can't find the extension cabs for sale anywhere. Has Mesa...

I'm tired of my current setup and want something new. I don't want to go all tube but I am interested in hybrids. I'm looking for something gig-able that can be used for home recording. I am curious about the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 but I hear the fan is noisy. This was a deal breaker between me...

I really like the sound of my bass with a mute under the strings. What type of sponge is safe with a nitrocellulose finished bass?

Hello, I'm looking to trade my barely used Eminence Kapppalite 3015 for two Eminence Deltalite II 2512's. I'd also just sell the 3015 but I'd like a straight trade. Think around $150 is reasonable. Thanks, Clayton

I'm starting a do-over on a cab build but my question now, is: If I don't what a rear ported cab, nor see the ports, and I want the cabinet to be as shallow as possible, is putting the ports on the bottom the best way to go? Are there any problems or quirks associated with this type of...

Question for my first build here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/diy-3015-cabinet-1056453/ For bracing that will be made out of 3/4" plywood in 1 1/2" strips how big can the holes be and how close together for Swiss cheese, aviation type braces. When bracing a one-piece, removable, screwed-in...

Does anyone have or know of some sound clips comparing a cabinet without damping and one that has it? How about sound clips of a cabinet that is heavily braced vs. no bracing. I'm trying to get an idea of what to listen to, and shoot for, during my cabinet build...

I have NL4MPR speakon jack with 4 prongs. How do I wire it to my single Kappalite 3015? I think I know but I want to be sure.

Finally started my project based on Eminence's Mid-Sized cab specs. Here's the box: And Here's the baffle with the speaker cut-out and the ports in place Hope to post more as I go along. It will be slow going. Hope this works!

Hi, I have a few questions about port tuning. First, can port tuning be done before putting in the damping insulation? Does damping effect the tuning? Second, is there a way to check port tuning besides the salt test, say on a rear-loaded cab with the grill clothe on? Finally what is best to...

Hi, I'm in the planning stages for an Eminence Kappalite 1X15 based on Eminence's mid-sized enclosure specs. I bought two 4" Precision Ports to use in it. The flares on each of the port ends add two inches to the 6.86" port length making the ports 8.86" in length. This brings the ports very...

Hello, As these are posted DIY projects I don't think this is proprietary information. I've looked and looked but it doesn't seem as if they have been posted. Has anyone worked the internal volume and port tuning numbers out? I'd like to be able to model them in winISD. Thanks.

Hello, I was thinking of getting one of North Coast Music's T-60 cabs. It takes a 12" and a 15" speaker in a sealed cabinet. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Measuring in at 36" x 19" x 11.75" with 3/4" for the plywood I figure the internal volume as 3.5813 cubic feet without...

This seems like an O.K. match to me as the SD800's output power is to 450W RMS @ 8 ohm, and the Classic cab CL 104's power handling (AES Standard)is 600W RMS, but on their website Markbass says the SD800 is only recommended for big cabinets (8x10, 6x10 or 2x15), or two-cabinet rigs. Why? Am I...

I've been trying everything under the sun to find the perfect sound for me to match with my reissue 63 Hofner. Help! Looking at amps for my Hofner I didn't think I liked Mesa as I had tried a 400+, and their M Pulse-Walkabout lines and found the the sound way too grindy IMO. I had...

I've been trying eleventy billion different amps and cabs and I have to say I do like the Markbass stuff and will most likely buy a LMII or F-1. I will probably buy the CL104 over the Standard 104HR just on looks alone even though it's less of a cab spec-wise. -THAT IS unless someone can tell me...

Hello, This is my first post so please be kind to a newbie. I just bought a Hofner Vintage 63 bass and I am looking for an amp and cab. I'm really looking for the kind of sound that McCartney has on his Live At The Cavern show. If you listen to "Bluejean Bop", as an example, he has...
