I've got a regular Tonex pedal and I'd like to find some good bass captures. Any recommendations of sellers that have good ones? I'm mainly just looking for a really good Ampeg B-15 vintage type sound.

So I am a guitar player first and getting more into bass. I basically want to sit down turn on some kind of drums, record a bassline then play guitar over it. I would also like to be able to record some but more concerned with the practicing, looping and playing. I would prefer to not have to...

So I really stumbled into this. I noticed that Adorama had it for $129. I went and played one at Guitar Center. Bass has always felt huge to me coming from guitar. I had seen it before and really loved the blue finish but originally thought this would be too small and feel like a toy. Tried it...

So I just got an Ibanez shorts scale bass. Are there any flatwound strings that will fit that size? I believe it is a 28" scale.

I saw that I can get an Ibanez GSRM20 for $129 brand new. Is it worth that price? I'm looking for something to mess around with. I mainly play guitar so it's not a main instrument for me. More something to play and record at times and just jam. I have a few areas of potential concern I'd...

So I bought strings for my bass and didn't measure before I did. I just got them in and they are too short. I don't know what size I actually need. It's a 34" scale so I ordered what looked right. The measurements from bridge to peg are: E - 37.5" A - 38" D - 39.5" G - 40" I'm trying to put...

I posted this in the Basses section but wanted to make sure I posted it here as well. MusiciansFriend has the Yamaha RBX170 in two colors on sale for $140 down from $200. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/yamaha-rbx170y-4-string-electric-bass-guitar/j11882

I bought a new Yamaha RBX170Y this weekend from Guitar Center. They've been $200. They are now on sale at MusiciansFriend for $140. Seems like a really good deal for someone getting started. I went back and matched the price with Guitar Center and took the difference plus a little bit to upgrade...

So I just bought a bass and amp this past weekend. I should have listened to the advice of others who suggested the Rumble 40 but I went with the 25 based on budget, space, shared walls with neighbors, etc. I'm here to fall on my sword. After looking further at the differences between the 25 and...

So I just bought a Yamaha RBX170 bass this weekend. I've played bass in the past but it's been probably 10 years or so and was never really serious before just noodled around. I'm looking to do some recording, jamming, etc. now. I want to play mainly hip-hop, soul, funk, R&B, jazz, etc. I like a...

So I'm trying to run a bass guitar directly into the and MPC Live record basslines. I ran it into a DI box and then into the input of the MPC which has line level inputs but the sound is like 20db too low. I thought the point of the DI was to bring that up to line level? Did I miss something? I...

I'm looking to start getting back into bass again and looking for cheap options. I'll mainly be using it to record direct but would like an amp to practice some. I'm in a townhouse so I definitely don't need anything with any oomph. I'm looking around the $100-$150 range. I've come across the...

So I played guitar for years and started to dabble in bass about 7-8 years ago. Fast forward, we had kids, life happened gear was sold and now years later I'm back to square one. I want to pick up a bass again and my goal is to use it for some recording for hip-hop and then just noodling around...

Are there any Jazz bridge pickups that have a bigger more meaty sound to them? Most everything I've come across seems to be more thin and nasally. I've heard the Model Js have more of a prominent bottom end but is that just the neck pickup? Anything anyone might recommend with a deeper bottom...

Do they nit sell Model J pickups separately anymore? The only thing I can seem to find is either a Model P/J set or a Model J set. I'm looking to just switch out my bridge pickup and hoped to put a Model J in it. I could get the P/J set but I'm happy with the stock P that's in it. Anybody...

Does anyone on here play Detroit Flats from Web Strings? I want to put a good set of flats on my new Jaguar and was wondering how the quality is on these strings. I put a set of Rotosounds 77 Jazz strings on it but don't like them. They seem a bit too much like rounds to me and I couldn't get...

I just got my new Squier Jaguar special in today and so far I love it. One thing I have noticed though is that the bridge pickup sounds thin and also has some hum to it. I'm gonna play around with it for a bit but am thinking of switching out that pickup. I am using the bass mainly to record...

I am looking for the best sounding ways to record bass into the computer. I've got a Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 sound card. It's got a Mic/Line input as well as an instrument input. Would the sound quality make a difference if I plugged the bass straight into the instrument input as...

So, right now I've got a Fender P bass and an SX J bass. I'm having to sell some stuff to clear out space. I play mainly hip-hop and R&B and use them for recording. I like the thump and beefy sound from the P but also enjoy the smooth sound of the J. In addition, I really would like to get a...

At the moment I have a Fender P bass and an SX J bass. We just moved and downgraded and I need to get down to just one bass. I don't play live and only use it for recording. I play mainly hip-hop and RnB. I like the deep fat tone of the P bass but like the thinner neck and slim neck of the...

I am getting ready to buy a new computer and will need to buy an audio interface as well. I am looking at the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. I saw it has instrument inputs. Does this mean I can record both guitar and bass into the inputs? I don't want to mic an amp I just want to go directly in...

I've been messing around with recording and wanted to get opinions on how it is sounding. After fooling around with it for so long my ears give up and it all sounds the same and I'm never satisfied. The attached clip was recorded with my P bass through the IK Multimedia Stealth Pedal and...

So this was a good week for me. I got two new basses and a laptop. I've been hoping to have a P and a J and now I've got a good solid P and a good J so I am good to go. First up is my SX J bass. The color looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. I really tried to find...

So, I saw this and was trying to figure out what kind of bass he's playing. Any ideas? Link Removed

So, about a month ago I bought an Ibanez SR300 and am not completely pleased with it. I love the look and the feel of the neck and playability is absolutely phenomenal but I'm not exactly loving the tone. I've played around with different settings and it just always sounds either too bright...

So, I need some advice on flatwound strings. I am putting them on my Ibanez SR300. I got a set of chromes about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I love the bottom end but there's alot of clanky sound when the string hits the fretboard. Not fret buzz but the clanking. I think it's the brightness of the...

First, I am new here and just wanted to say hi to everybody. I recently started getting into bass and am looking forward to spending time on here. I bought a Squier Affinity P bass about a year ago but never really touched it until a few weeks ago. I ended up buying an Ibanez SR300 because...
