    FS: Acme Low B-2 series II 4 ohm, $300 OBO

    Hello! Unfortunately the time has come to sell my first bass cab: an Acme Low B-2, series II. It's the 4 ohm version. I won't waste time describing it because I'm sure y'all know enough about it. I'm the only owner. One cone did blow, but I replaced it with an OEM replacement direct from Andy...

    String gauge and neck relief

    How much of an affect does gauge have on neck relief? I switched from pre-installed (no idea what gauge, I don't remember) strings, and have tried out a few different gauges. Most recently light gauge D'Addario Half Rounds. I think this may be a lighter gauge than I had previously, because I've...

    What's going on in this video??

    Live Dubstep Cover - CollegeHumor Video Particularly, the bass player has some interesting stuff going on. Anyone know why the left hand is fretted? Is that a Zon? What is going on between the neck and bridge pickups? Is the glowing light on his thumb some kind of wireless accelerometer...

    SVT newbies anonymous

    Hello TB. I have recently acquired a 1974 blackline SVT from a fellow TB member. I have never owned an SVT, and I've only ever had 1 tube in an amp before, so this is kind of a new thing for me. I've done some homework, but have some questions... First though, let me say holy ****. That ****...

    Bass tone on Lou Reed's Street Hassle

    I've been really geeking out about the bass tone on Street Hassle. Really curious what it is. I can take a guess at Jazz Bass into a cranked SVT (really playing the odds on that one...). Any other ideas or insights?

    Could this cabinet work? 6x8?

    At lunch I was thinking about a cabinet layout: Light 8" speakers Tweeterless Sealed? I'm thinking classic vibe here, nothing very modern sounding. Light I guess this means neodymium speakers and strong bracing of light cabinet materials? 8" Speakers After playing an Ampeg B2 15" combo I...

    Mesa Boogie Powerhouse horn attenuation?

    I have an Acme B2 now, which I love dearly. Recently I've been using the bass amp at our practice space (A hartke 3500 into an Ampeg B2 combo with a broken amp, single 15" with the tweeter bypassed), and I've been even happier with it than the Acme. The acme, for the style of music I'm playing...

    Need help with my rig. Unhappy with sound

    Hello! I'd like some constructive criticism of my rig, as I'm not thrilled with my sound. I feel like I've done my homework on each component, but the net result is... underwhelming. Peavey T-40 / Ibanez Sr885 Sansamp RBI QSC PLX 1602 RNC compressor Acme B2 (4ohm) I've had the Acme...

    SWR Interstellar Overdrive / "Space Charger" schematic

    Hello! I've wanted an Interstellar Overdrive for years now. They seem to be quite difficult to come by. I've also developed a recent interest in electronics (ie, I like blinkenlights and servos). So I'm thinking of taking the complete irrational and ridiculous jump of building my own...
