    Kalium alternatives

    This isn't another bash Kalium thread - it is what it is. Looking for alternatives. What I like most about Kalium - First and foremost, I like the way they feel. I use lighter gauge, in general, and they feel less "sticky" than other roundwounds, while being very flexible, IMO. Second, I like...

    ADA MB-1 Patch Editor and/or documentation?

    So I picked up an MB-1 (v2) recently. Old school, I know. :bassist: Documentation is tough to come by - I've checked out ADA Depot, found a v1 manual and that helped a bit. They make reference to separate guides for any type of in depth MIDI programming and mapping. Apparently it supports...

    SVT 7 - a different question

    Been playing the SVT 7 for 6ish months now. After the initial issues and replacing the main board, it's been fantastic. Here's my new question/issue: I tend to drive it pretty hard - drive around 2:00 or 3:00. Sounds hot and driven hard, which is cool for what I'm doing right now. Sound from...

The storage container is a long PVC pipe I...

    Ampeg SVT 7 Pro - the known "cutting out" issue

    So I picked up an SVT 7. Used (craigslist). Revision A00. Apparently there are known issues with the power amp section cutting out. Last weekend when I gigged it, there were no issues - it sounded great. Last night, however, it started cutting out near the end of the first set...and it only...

    How much thickness does finish add to neck?

    So I ordered a Carvin Icon 5 and got it today. The neck was supposed to be tung oiled (like the older Carvin LB76 I have, which I am comfortable with), but they shipped it with a full finished neck instead. Sticky and bleh feeling to me. So before I call them tomorrow, I'm trying to figure...
