Hello bass brethren, Have any of you by chance played the Chapman MLB - 1. I have heard wonderful things about their guitar, but not much about the bass. I'm interested in picking up a four string. I've also heard some wonderful things about the Sire V7's. Just looking for some opinions. Keep...

Hello all. I have a 2011 Music Man Bongo 5 HH for sale. Ask $1400 shipped, no trades please. It's a wonderful bass that I have loved playing, but I have to make room after a new bass has came into the household. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or...

Hi guys. I have a Musicman Bongo HH5. I've had the bass for almost a year now, but I havn't really messed with the 4 band eq and blend control much. I don't really know how to go about using them. Suggestions?

Hey guys, my BX500 just did something weird. When I went to turn it on. All the lights (input, mute, active, compressor, graphic eq in, and protect started slowly flashing, and a sound was heard through my headphones. It was fine ten minutes ago... I have a gig tonight....

Hey guys. I use a brand new (3 month) Ampeg PF 500 for my college. (Jazz Band and Pep Band use) It was running fine last night at the basketball game, and suddenly today stopped working. For a bit the FAULT light was on, then all lights except the power switch went off. The fan isn't running...

I'm playing in the Pep Band for my school, and we are ordering a new amp and cab. I just got an email from my director with a suggestion from our supplier. They were suggesting a Ampeg PF-410HLF & Ampeg PF350. I'm not too sure about this. However, I haven't had any experience with these amps...

I play bass in my colleges marching band. Tonight during halftime my volume kept fading in and out, and eventually stayed out. Any ideas to why this was happening? It just started today during halftime. I haven't had a chance to mess with it since. It's some sort of peavey. Solid state.

When the preamp tube is engaged I'm not getting a single sound from my amp. However, when the tube is bypassed everything sounds normal. Is the tube dead? Do I need to just replace it? Or is there a bigger problem? Thanks.

I'm really into bands like Dream Theater, Rush, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, Animals As Leaders, Pink Floyd, and Phish. Right now I'm playing a Jazz Bass and a Carvin BX500. It's a great little amp, but I'm not super happy with my current cab. I got the BX500 in combo form with the 210 cab...

I'm a studying classical guitar and music education at Murray State, and I play bass too! I've been playing bass for about 3 years now, and I feel like my technique and speed is pretty solid. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Being a music major I know theory and whatnot, but not...

I'm a classical guitarist. As you know the right hand has the nails grown out in order to get the right tone and what not. I've found this to be somewhat annoying on the bass. How can I protect the nails when playing bass? Can I EQ the nail out of my sound? :help:

I have my Carvin BX 500 running into it's 2 x 10 cab. But I have the tuner out on the BX500 running into the active input in my line 6 Low Down 175. Is this safe to do until I buy a real 115 cab?

I came across a Fender Pro 115 Bass Cab today for $350. I've been wanting a 15 for a while now. (Looks like this: Amps : FENDER BASS CABINET - PROFESSIONAL SERIES - 115 PRO - 1X15 / 350 WATTS @ 8 OHMS - Buy BASS ) I haven't had a chance to play through it yet. But I intend to. I'm not familiar...

I'm thinking about buying a Markbass NYC 115. The cab is 8 ohms and rated at 400 watts. Now at 8 ohms my head puts out 300watts. But at 4 it does 500 watts. When I eventually add another cab to make it a 4 ohms load, would this be too much for the markbass 115 to handle? (I know this gets asked...

So, I play both Bass and Guitar. I think I'm about at the same level at both. I really love both instruments for different reasons, although I have this constant feeling that I should focus on just one of them to get really really really good at one. Do you think I should play both and possible...

I absolutely love the tone I get with my Carvin BX500 through the headphones. How do I achieve this tone through a cab? I'm guessing that I need a cab that doesn't color the tone? Help almighty TB!

So, I don't know if it is the lack of sleep or what, but I just plugged my bass into my Peavey Classic 30 guitar combo and it blew me away! It sounded wonderful! Now, am I hurting the amp in any way?

Hey TB! I was just working out some lyrics, because what else am I supposed to do at 4 am? Anywho, I have a really hard some getting lyrics to fit in rhythm. And I always need somebodies help in getting them to fit in a song nicely. So, my question is, what are some techniques that you use...

I currently have a Carvin BX500 (in a 210 combo form). I'm looking for a new cab(s). However I was just reading a thread here on TB about phasing and problems with different speaker sizes, and now I'm horribly confused on what cabs to buy. I was looking at some Avatar's but I soo afraid and...

I was just browsing the the Carvin website, and clicked on the specials line. I notice these were going for only $199! This is the only spot on the site where they are listed. Are they old models and they are just trying to clear them out? Any body played these? I'm looking for a cab for my BX500.

I have a Carvin BX500. i got in it in the combo form with the two tens. First question: I'm running the amp at 4 ohms. Is that the right setting? Second: When in the louder volumes (even with low to no drive) the speakers start to kinda break up. This isn't a problem right now, as I...

I play bass in the pit for my university's marching band. We just got a Peavy Tour Series 450 head, or something like that. At practice everything worked great. Well at the football game yesterday the protection circuit came on and would not turn off. I was a sitting duck for the whole game. It...

I just got a Carvin BX 500 this summer. And I don't want to take the my cabinet back to college with me. So my question is: Can I use the head with just headphones plugged in, or does the amp require a cab to be plugged in?

My Carvin BR510N came in today! It is a BX500 in combo form with 2 10s. (BX500 is removable) I'm very happy with my first impressions! :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper: Here is a pic from my phone: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I'm sure that this is a horse that has gotten a beating several times. But I'm extremely paranoid about this sort of thing. :hmm: I play a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz® (MIM). Everything is stock. I want to go to D'Addario Chromes. (Since I started learning upright at school I have found that I...

I am looking for a head and cab for $800 or less. I want to be loud enough to gig with a band in small clubs. I want a clean tone, as I do not like distorted bass all that much. The smaller the physical size the better, but not the most important thing. I live 1 hour away from a "local"...

I just come across the Hartke 5210C, and it looks like the head is removable, but I can't tell. Invalid Link Removed Is this just wishful thinking?

I've been drooling over the MarkBass Little Mark II for a long time, and I have decided to go ahead and grab one. I need a cab for it though. I'm not in a band right now. I'm looking to join a band in the future. I want to be able to have enough volume for small/medium gigs. I can also add...

Just wondering what you guys think about Peavey Heads and Cabs. Such the Peavey Tour 450 bass Amp Head. and the Peavey Tour 210 Bass cab Links: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-Tour-210-2x10-Bass-Cabinet-?sku=480318 and...

Hello, my name is Luke, and I'm a freshman at Murray state university. I'm a music major that plays the Alto Saxophone, and bass guitar in my spare time. I'm also interested in switching to double bass.
