    ShuttleMax 9.2 Tube Channel Cutting Out

    Anyone had this issue? Would love some help troubleshooting. Essentially my tube channel will randomly cut out or drop in volume massively (get a weird thin tinny sound). Switching to the FET channel fixes this problem most of the time. Occasionally the whole thing cuts out and won't work...

    Air Canada lost my Lakland

    I'm a sad panda. I was on my way to NXNE in Toronto and my bass didn't make it. :hmm: They're recouping me for rentals to cover my shows but it doesn't really help with the feeling of loosing a bass that I love. Anyone ever deal with AC or any other airline getting recouped for a lost...

    Best compressor for Daft Punk/Fred Falke style house bass

    I'm thinking live and in the studio, sure it wouldn't be perfect but what would work (ie, pedal, or rack like a 160a) I'm thinking like Daft Punk - Voyager or something like Fred Falke's remix of Colours by Hot Chip. Gear currently in use: Mesa 400+ Bag End Q10XD Lakland DJ5...

    Bass Battle in a Movie: Yay!

    Having read the comics I'm going to essentially go see this to see Michael Cera with a Rick fighting Brandon Routh (from superman) with a mustang. With musical special effects and videogame sounds. Someone finally has made a movie that caters to all my interests.

    DEAR GOD DO I HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL?!?!?!

    I 'thought' I sprained my wrist about 2 weeks ago. But the last week and a half I realized it still hurt when I was putting my hand in certain positions + my thumb occasionally feels numb, as does my pinky when I play. I'm super careful with keeping up with proper technique (left hand by the...

    Sub

    Hey guys, I was interested in getting a kind of 'sub' feel to my playing as I play live bass in a band thats heavily inspired by electronic dance music. I was thinking about something like this, [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I am currently using a 400+ through a bagend Q10XD...

    Ever hate when you go to an audition...

    and another bassplayer who you know who is a better player than you is walking out as you walk in? And he's that dude that always gets the great gigs instead of you even though you keep practicing more and more. If you are him, I both hate and respect you. :ninja:

    Annotation Software?

    Is there any basic annotation software available that would help me lift chord changes? I got an audition coming up and I'm having a slightly difficult time earing out some of the parts on one or two of the songs.

    So I got to hit the studio in two weeks to start tracking for my band's ep. But my amp has been out of commission (Mesa 400+, electrical surge killed the resistors, repair place is having trouble finding replacements) for the last couple weeks and there now seems to be a distinct possibility...

    Band writing your lines?

    How do you guys feel about this. I don't mind personally. Usually the lead singer in my band will write a whole song as he has a comp degree and feels comfortable doing it and I will just change his parts to make them more "bassplayeresque" but I know this bugs the crap out of some people...

    400+ Screws

    Um yeah. So I lost the screws that held the top grate of my 400+ on. Any idea where I could get more? I had the top off so a tech could do some work but my rents threw out the screws accidently which I had put in a little baggie (I even ducktaped the top so the screws couldn't fall out).

    Hi guys I've been here a couple weeks and I just got to say Talkbass has to be one of the best communities on the internet. This being said there is only one issue I can find with the site and that is the use of pictures on really weak or slow hosting sites. So many people post pictures...

    A sad day for my 400+...

    And me too. Today I finally got my bag end cab and took it to my rented space with my band to try out. After a bit of playing the lights flicker and my 400+ blows a fuse and stinks something fierce. Figure it was a bad tube and my fuse blew open er up change the fuse with a spare (I keep...
