    So, my bass has no audio (active pickups)

    Hi, I use an Ibanez soundgear. My audio was getting low on me, so I thought it was time to change the battery (I can't remember the last time I changed it). However, the battery I replaced it with was also pretty old, even though it had never been used. In any case, I tried to swap out the...

    Q-tuner Pickups

    So, I'm making a custom bass and I'm going to use passive pickups in it. How are the Q-tuner pickups? What kind of tone do they offer up? Are they good for high mids? Can anybody vouch for Q-tuner?

    Good bridges for 6 string bass

    Hey there! I'm working on getting a 6-string custom-made for me...I see several different types of bridges on the internet, but being that 6 string basses are kind of rare, there isn't really any information on how they're different from one another (or even any reviews of them for that matter)...

    Anybody know how to remove the volume/tone knobs on an Ibanez Soundgear bass?(6strng)

    Ok, so...with my Fender it was easy. All I had to do was just pull the knobs off. With the Ibanez it's not been so easy. There seems to be a small circular screw on the side of the knobs, but I really don't have a tool for it. Is it even possible to get the knobs off? lol Seems like a really bad...

    V4 scratchy noise

    Hey guys. I'm getting a noise coming out of my V4 that sounds a lot like somebody is sanding something, kind of a scraping sound. It's kinda faint. The amp still plays though. The volume does not effect the amount of scratching or the volume of the scratching. I already checked the tubes to...

    Phil Jones Bass Amps

    Hey guys. So the other day I saw a video on youtube of Phil Jones showing off a lot of his bass amp toys. I looked up the prices on some of them and some of the setups are pretty high-priced. Anyway, has anybody here played PJB stuff? How does it sound? Is it worth the money?

    Vintage Ampeg V4 problems with effects

    Hey all... Ok, so here goes...I love my V4, but seeing as it's old there is no effects loop input. The problem is, when I crank the volume, using any kind of delay or reverb will cause the thing to squeal to all hell. I should note that I have to practice with the band in a very confined...

    Can I connect a standard amp to a cab?

    Ok, so...first post. Anyway, I have an ampeg BA-115 and I do what I can to get the most sound out of it that I can (using a pedal to increase volume, setting treble to 9, mid to 10, and bass to 8), but my guitarist is WAY louder than me with his amp volume only set to 5 so I need to get more...
