Good morning. Picked up a Sire P5 5 string a few months back but I am having constant issues with the tone pot being scratchy/causing distortion at times. Looking for a direct replacement of the pots, and the input jack as well to be safe. What are some brands/harnesses that are a direct...

Greetings, ladies and gents! Played a few shows last weekend with the guys, and had an absolute blast! Sunday night we were at Dead Dog Saloon down here in Murrells Inlet, SC. Had a bit of a slow first set, but soon picked up in the subsequent sets and we got the people groovin'. Had a guest...

Hey everyone, wanted to share a rather bizarre story that happened to me last week at a gig. We were going through the third and final set at a bar/restaurant, business as usual. IIRC, it was the first night of 4 consecutive shows. As were rapping up a song, the crowd is cheering, people are...

Not sure if any of my fellow keepers of the low-end experience this. Last August, I filled in for a band, ended up becoming the permanent bassist. Great group of guys. Easy-going, good pay, most songs aren't that complex. However, the BL (Guitarist/singer) throws us all curveballs each and...

Just purchased a CMD102p recently, and might add an extension cab to it. Is this a good deal? Or should I hold off and order the 102HF instead Markbass Traveler 102P Rear-Ported Compact 2x10 Bass Speaker Cabinet

Hey everyone! My brand new Sire M5 arrived at my door today, and boy is she a looker! When I saw the transparent blue finish I knew I had to have it. I was a bit leery ordering from Thomann, because I've never heard of them before. However, after looking into them, I gave it a shot. I mean, if...

Not sure if this has been answered. Ive purchased a couple of amazon wireless units, and when I use them, I hear a noticable pop when I click on my Korg pitchblack tuner. Doesn't make that sound when i run a wire so im curious as to why it happens and what I can do to limit/eliminate the...

Listing my ‘90s Warwick Streamer LX. Purchased from another musician about 7 years ago. The neck was replaced before I owned it, that’s why I included the Serial No. which indicates that the replacement neck is from a 2007 Warwick Streamer LX. Great instrument that I don’t play anymore due to...

Listing my GK MB210-ii. Gigged with it for awhile until the speakers blew, then it sat in my closet for a couple of years until I got around getting them replaced. They were replaced last year with two Aguilar 10” drivers from a local guy who was referred to me by a friend. the amp sounds...

Looking to upgrade the tiny, noisy casters on my HD150. Any recommendations?

Been trying to find a chart or website that lists the comparisons between the M2, M5, & M7 models.

So I plugged up my bass with a wireless unit. Turned it on, heard this crazy noise that scared the crap out of me. Turned off the amp and realized that every knob on the bass amp was dimed… turned the amp back on with everything flat and it sounds fine. I have noticed that since I got the...

Snagged up this beaut on Reverb from Chicago Music Exchange. My first 5-string purchase and first new bass purchase in a long time. fantastic instrument at a great price. Love the look, feel, and tonal variety that this has to offer.

Hello everyone.. Been quite awhile since I've posted to TB. Good to be back! (OT: Its funny, I just went through some old forums I started from about 6 years ago and wow... If I could go back and delete them I would. Funny the kinds of things that you project onto the world when you're a 17...

Hey everyone, So I am almost certain that I have blown the lower speaker in my MB210-ii. I checked on GK's online store for replacement speakers and they are $104 each. Now I am no expert on speakers or anything but I was wondering if anyone here knew a place where I could find them cheaper...

Hey everyone! So I just recently received my first MusicMan bass as a late college graduation present from my father. A spectacular Stingray Classic that also operates in passive mode. Apparently these were a GC limited run. It sounds great and these pics don't do it justice.

I started using a boss Graphic EQ pedal that my guitarist had lying around at band practice. He doesn't use it and I was always against them. But the other night I hooked it up for sh**s and giggles and started tweaking the knobs and wow! It really put the punch back into my tone! I couldn't...

The title is pretty self explanatory... Its definitely that wonky battery door on the transmitter that is causing the dropout. If I put any kind of force on the door, the lights on both units spaz out, and it cuts out. I bought this used over a year ago and it has given me no issues until now...

So I bought a radial DI today because I need a DI box for my bands next show in February. I have a VT Bass single channel that I absolutely love but I want to upgrade to the deluxe pretty soon. So my dilemma is that I have this DI box, but if I get the VT deluxe then I pretty much have to...

http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/31/us/colorado-recreational-marijuana/ Its a shame that I am not 21 because I would have loved to of gone to this. Are any of you guys who live in Colorado, or is at least close to it, planning to go and buy some weed today?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2013/12/03/yankees-jacoby-ellsbury-free-agent-contract/3864129/ Not really sure how I feel about this as a Yankees fan... Good hitter, but awfully susceptible to being injured. Good news is that its not a 10 year 274mil contract like what A-Roid got...

Anyone try these out yet? Is it worth the $150 with pup? I am resurrecting my first bass which is a knock-off P copy. I bought it for $50 when i first started bass and ever since I upgraded to different basses, my Johnson Precision has been collecting dust. Im not too fond of the sound of it...

Really really dig them. They are called Leopold and His Fiction. They are like a combination of rock, blues, folk, etc. There band site is here Link Removed This song is probably my favorite by them They have lots of great music and they are on Spotify if you want to hear more. I...

I've always wondered this, but I never got around to posting it... UNTIL NOW! Mwhuahaha! But really, why do you all love TB? Is it because of the overall knowledge that each member has on here about pretty much everything? Is it because of the Phalex photoshop threads and threads that are...

I just recently started doing this because I think I found a really good sound out of my amp! I don't know why but these settings just seemed to work great for every song at practice the other day. From classic rock to our originals, it sounded great for everything. The tone was very punchy...

So I was hellbent on selling my 60th Anniversary Precision bass in order to purchase a G&L L1505 that i fell in love with. Now ive been playing that G&L the past month each weekend and i love the feel, sound, etc. My pbass was sounding good. Sounds just like a precision should. I wasnt getting...

I've been playing a used one at GC for the past week and I'm in love!! Nails the stingray tone, can get close to a pbass thumb, and the electronics are phenomenal! Love the passive tone in it! Neck is really nice and stable. And switching from my 4 string to this 5 string is fairly easy! Not...

After playing my friends '74 Ric 4001 i am just having humongous, smelley G.A.S to get one! It just played amazing. Very articulate, has that Chris Squire and Geddy Lee sound that is just awesome and it sounds perfect through my MB210. Its a shame that he will never sell that bass but i dont...

I recently downsized my rig. I had 2 GK cabs that i bought a while back. One was a 1x15 and the other was a 410. I think it was part of the RBH series but i couldn't tell because the sticker where the model no. was was worn off both cabs. Ran a Hartke LH500 through it. Good sounding combination...

Really can not believe that I am graduating from high school on June 13th. It really is a big step in life but I am looking forward to the rewards and pressures that await me. Surely I will miss some of the kids i went to school with, and i will probably care less about the kids that i didn't...

I made the unwise decision to listen to this song at work from one of my coworkers and it was probably the worst decision ever.. Now I keep singing it at the lunch table, I mouth it to myself, and it just plays in my head... I'm trapped fellas!! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7xJaGZCy2E Are...

So long story short, I got pulled over tonight for going 70 in a 55. Cop kinda baited me to speed up by hanging along side of me in the passing lane and I sped up to pass him. Yeah it was stupid of me to speed up and I realized that once he flipped his lights on. He pulled me over, only asked me...

I have to say that my favorite color is black. What's yours?

Anybody here on TB have it yet? Im getting it for xmas because i really wanted to switch it up because im just tired of laptops and desktops in general. Not saying that they're bad, just want a change. So i figured that a tablet would be the way to go. I read many many reviews on the Nexus 7 and...

NOT gonna start a political debate. Just wanted to say that it is my first time voting and im pretty excited for it. I just hope that all of my TB brethren who are old enough to vote will go out and exercise their right to vote. But if you don't, then its none of my concern. Im sure you have...

Well my oldsmobile has been in the shop now for about a week due to a bad brakeline. And this car is a beater, it has rust spots, some things dont work, it loses power once in a while, and its not really presentable. Runs good, but too many IF's with this car. So ive decided to sell it to my...

I feel that talking about these things are good for people because they can share their opinions and beliefs with other posters who might be intrigued by their post. Even if people don't agree with what someone posts, i think they should be allowed to "debate" with the person, but only if it...

Sounds killer! Even the slap tone sounds great and i can make it sound very warm and vintage. God i love flatwounds, i will NEVER go back to round :D

Today i went out with my dad and looked at a 1993 Acura Integra Ls. I saw the ad on craigslist and i was intrigued. Originally i wanted a Honda but Acura is basically the same thing as a Honda(with a few differences) and Honda's have been going like crazy where i live so i thought i search up...

I might be getting back with my old band soon so i need to get a better rig. The rig i have now is ok. its a Hartke LH500, into an older GK 410 and 115 cabs. The rig sounds good but its alright. I played the CMD121p and i absolutely loved it. Im considering selling off my stack and my ray34 to...
