Hi, Until now I have been happily using a Turbo Tuner as my only pedal. Those things can work for years on a single 9V and they have a Low Battery indicator, so I don't use a power supply. I do own a Boss PSA-adapter, but I figured it takes up space in my gigbag and is less reliable than a...

Hi, I know this question is not bass amp related, but I don't really know another place with a lot of tube amp knowledge so I figured I could give it a try... If not, feel free to delete this topic - after all this is a bass forum. Anyway, my dad has a faulty Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue (22...

Hi, Quick question - does playing chords stress speakers more than single notes? For a particular song of my band I play some kind of A chord with notes on the A, D and G string. Not arpeggiated but like a guitar chord. I don't remember a huge increase of volume, so I think the cone excursion...

Hello, I have a little problem with my amp's DI. I like to use my preamp as some kind of compressor/limiter for when I dig in deep so I set the gain just below breakup. Unfortunately this way it clips every mixing desk I come along. At some gigs I have seen soundmen put some DI-looking device...

Hi! I know strain is a bad thing and is as good as always caused by bad technique. However, what do you guys think about this? I play in a rock band and riffing and punking along is going great, even fast licks and fills I remember from my time on guitar are a piece of cake. But one song is...

Last week I replied to a topic about essential bass effects saying that there aren't any. Despite my argumentation someone thought I was some kind of you-don't-need-no-pedals advocate. I don't think it was meant to be offensive, but still I have no idea why you need some of the effects you see...

Hello! Can somebody please give me some opinions or thoughts on this situation? I play a Orange Terror Bass in a rock 'n roll band. I hook it up to 2 Aguilar 112 cabs, and I really love the sound, which is rather dark compared to an SVT for example. Lately my band was playing at a band...

Hi! With an important gig coming up I'm in kind of trouble - my amp is gonna have to go trough the PA and it's DI is useless. I's a Orange Terror Bass. The DI is so hot it is said to clip every board you'll plug it into. To test this I connected the DI with a XLR to mini-jack cable to my...

Hello! I really like the bass tone on this recording, and I'm wondering if it is possible to get something similar with a pedal? Since the song is not that well known; A high quality version can be found on iTunes. The 30 seconds preview should do :). Is this some kind of SVT we're hearing...

Hey, To start with; I've read the FAQ and used the search, but I couldn't really find something like this; Tonight I pushed my GS112 cab to it's limits with a 500 watt amp. Off course I didn't play more than a few notes to not damage anything, but I'm wondering what I actually have been...

Hello everyone, My band would like to record some of our tunes to put on a myspace. Pretty good idea, but there is a minor flaw in the plan; we don't have any recording equipment. So I'll try to start with what we have got: Guitar: Marshall Valvestate with headphones out Bass: Orange...

Hello, First of all, I'm sorry if my questions are kind of frequently asked, but I did some research so I hope you can answer with only yes or no :smug: (just don't RTFM me, we're talking Orange here :D - they don't come with any information) The new amp is an Orange Terror Bass. I'm still...

Hi all, I could use some advice :). I've been playing for quite some time now and recently I joined a band. Now I discovered my current amp can't keep up with the drummer and guitarist. At this point I'm using a Line 6 LowDown 110 (75 watts). I'm afraid I blew the thing so I'm in the market...
