My headway EDB-1 preamp has a mute switch, but no tuner output. The mute switch cuts both of the outputs on the unit. I have a musical theatre gig coming up, where I would love the flexibility to put a tuner pedal in between my bass (full circle) and the headway preamp for easy stomp mutung and...

What do you all use as a backup pickup? I am looking for an easy to install pickup that I keep in my gig bag just in case, and does not sound like crap. Any suggestions? ... the best I can think of is the rev solo, however I am not sure how easy it would be to install. Thanks crew.

Does anyone know of a good sounding cab that does not take up much space (for gigs where stage space is tight) that I can use with my Aguilar TH350? Perhaps something with a small speaker like 8" for low volume gigs. I have an Aguilar SL112 but its too big for tight situations & my GK MB150 is...

I'm browsing for a mic that works for both applications for home studio use. Any recommendations? I don't know much about mics!

Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post this but does anyone have any recommendations for a chair or stool to practice / perform on? I have a lower back injury that makes playing in thumb position difficult unless I am sitting. I was thinking about giving this one a try but I am...

Forgive me if this has been covered already (searched & couldn't find anything). Where do you all suggest to go for buying strings online?

I'm not sure if this is allowed here (feel free to delete if so!) - I'm looking to buy an 8ohm Aguilar SL212. Hard to find used online. Anyone have one they're looking to sell? msg me.

I'm wanting to try some buffers out and I've been watching the rig dr. YouTube vids for info. He says to match the input buffer to the input on your amp & if your amp has a high input impedance then 2.2 - 5 M is good. He used the Peterson strobotomp HD for an input buffer an ampless pedal board...

Hello folks, I've recently moved to LA and I don't know anyone! Not to mention it's hard to meet people due to covid. Are there any local LA players here that can recommend the best string repair shop in the city? If they specialize in basses then that would be great. I've found The Stien...

One gigs get going again I'll need to buy a new amp for upright/low volume electric bass gigs and I'm thinking of the Aguilar TH350 since it's so portable. I've never tried an upright through any of the TH series amps though. Does anyone feel the need for an outboard pre-amp with any TH series...

I'm considering getting a lightweight (neo) 2x12 cab (or two of them). I have an Aguilar DB750 & a GK MB fusion 800 (but considering switching to a class D that goes down to 2ohm). Was looking into the Aguilar SL212 but was sorry to read that it's only 500 watts... I'd get a 4ohm cab at first...

This is an awesome bass head that has not been seeing much action over the past couple years. I've been holding it as a backup and it's been collecting dust so it's time to give it the proper home it deserves. This is the single channel version of the amp, 500 watts @ 4homs, 280 @ 8ohms. In my...

What is everyone's opinion on this amp? I've never tried one and I'm thinking it might be a good cheaper alternative to an Aguilar DB750/751 with a wack load of extra features. How does it score with everyone on tone/functionality/reliability?

I've come into contact with a seller who's trying to get rid of a broken Ampeg svt 4 pro. The treble knob doesn't work 100%, it's missing some knobs, AND he's getting no sound out of one of the power amps. How much would you all say this thing is worth?

Does anyone know of any Dual Channel/instrument switching/pre amp/DI alternatives on the market to the Radial Bassbone V2? I just got the V2 thinking that it will make doubling gigs easier (which it will!) but I just plugged it in and I don't think the sound of the pre amp is my cup of tea. I...

I looking at a '72 jazz that is refinished, and does not have the original tuners, bridge, pots, & pick guard. What is a fair price for this bass? Also, does anyone have any reliable online resources to price out vintage fenders? Thanks.

I'm looking for tubes to replace the aguilar tubes in my DB359. I have no experience with changing tubes/tube amp maintenance. Does anyone know of any good combinations of tubes for this particular head? I just talked to a tube amp specialist who recommended a couple different options even...

Just discovered this mesa head. I've had the fusion 800 for a while - It's great! The D-800 caught my eye particularly because of the 2ohm min load feature... which is really cool! Has anyone compared the two? Which head do you guys prefer? btw- I did see this ... NAD Cage Match: GK MB800F...

Just discovered this amp. Have not tried it yet but I like the features and for a class D head it sounds great here... What do ya'll think of it? I read a thread that said its not quite as loud as expected...

I don't know much about this. Say, for example, you're using a head that runs 350 watts @ 8 ohms with a 250-300 watt 8 ohm cab. Will this be bad for the cab (might blow the speaker at high volumes)? Or for another example - a head that runs 750watts @ 4 ohms w/ a cab that is 700 watts? Last...

I just sold my Eden Wt-400 & I literally feel sick to my stomach for selling it because I loved the tone so much... it just didn't cut it in the headroom department so I had to let it go. Are there any other options for hybrid heads that have a similar sound to the WT-400, only with more...

I have always used spiros. I am thinking about changing to a mixture of synthetic/gut or spiro E & A w/ synthetic or gut D & G to try a different sound, but also because I have a compressed ulnar nerve which causes chronic numbness in my fingers among other discomforts. I have never played on...

Im looking for an amp that is all tube and lighter than an SVT. The only thing Ive found is the traynor 200 watt head... Anyone know of something else?

Anyone know?

Im getting a bit sick of the inconsistent sounds Im getting from my GK MB150. What are some good alternatives for small combos that are upright/electric bass friendly? Ive never been much of a mark bass fan, but Im thinking of giving the mini CMD 121P a try...

I think this head is discontinued and I can't find any retail or street prices for it online. I found one today for $800 and I'm thinking about going for it... good deal?

Anyone else have an issue with the XLR out on the EDB-1 being noisy? I don't often have to use the XLR out on the unit but I just finished a theater gig where I was running it into the PA. With the ground lift off it sounded like bacon frying in a pan. With the ground lift on it was a lot better...

I have a beautiful sounding 50 yr old fully carved hofner bass. Ever since Ive had it I have always used spirocores on it. I want to try a different string (or different combinations w/ the E & A spiro's) because I feel that a full set of spiros might not be the most suited for this bass. I...

I need to buy a new german bow. I not very knowledgeable when it comes to bows. I'm looking to spend approximately $300. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?

Anyone know if the B-15 and other flip top amps are loud enough for most live situations?

I have a bergintino AE112. I usually place it on it's side when I use it (because it has a handle on the top which makes it awkward to place a head on top of it)... My question is in terms of tweeter performance, does it matter which side I place it on? The tweeter being either below or above...

I've owned an Eden Wt-400 for about 10 years. I have never changed the tube in it. I am not experiencing any problems w/ the amp, but I am thinking it might be time to change the tube to see how it might effect the sound. I have never bought or experimented with tubes before... What are some...

I've noticed that pretty much no bass amplifier companies list the impedance of their amplifiers' inputs under the specs on their websites... So how are we suppose to know which amplifiers will have enough megohms for piezo pickups? I'm just going from the word on the street when it comes to...

Hi, I'm tossing around the idea of getting a pre-amp for my double bass because I'm not consistently happy with the sound I can get out of my amp in every room that I've gigged in. I have great gear! I'm working with a 50 year old german hofner fully carved bass w/ a realist pickup into an...

I double on acoustic upright bass and have been looking for an acoustic pre-amp to use before an amp...This box seems awesome! it would do that plus iI could bennifit from the dual inputs for gigs where I have to double!...the only thing is I have no use for the overdrive on one of the...

I'm looking for a (octave) pedal that does an octave up feature and does not eat your tone while in bypass (POG, bass whammy, etc)...does such a thing exist??

Anyone have any experience with squire Classic Vibe's. I ran into a p-bass today that really seemed to sound and feel quite nice and I've been looking for a cheap p-bass. any opinions? are there better squires to be had?

I discovered someone's iphone metronome app that does this, and i dont have an iphone... online I found this one Invalid Link Removed and it goes down to 20 BPM, I can't find another one that will go down to 10 though. does anyone know of one, online or not?

Im using the white barrel (reverse polarity) connector for the voodoo labs pedal power 2, to power a mooogerfooger lowpass filter pedal. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it matters which output I plug it into on the pedal power? Does it need one of the line 6 outputs, or does it not...

What is the best way to clean the strings, fingerboard, neck and body of a fully carved double bass without causing any damage to it? I have been told to buy rubbing alcohol for the strings.
