So, I was thinking back to the first bass I ever had. It was a Fender PBass that had a passive P/J pickup configuration that dad bought for me when I was 15 years old (so probably 1995-96). It was a GREAT bass for learning and. And while I did move on to MANY different basses after that (I...

I've done a lot of searching, and I pretty much know I'm clutching at straws, but does anyone know if Peavey are made a 5 string version on the T-40?

Ahoy! The title of the post says it all really. I have a Yamaha BB1025X and it is simply the best bass I have ever played and I think it's going to be with me for a long time. My only issue is I am getting some single coil noise from the bridge pickup. Its not a huge deal really...

I'm not sure if this should even go here since I'm not sure the issue is with the amp itself but here goes. Ok, here's the situation. At band practice I will experience a sporadic loss of volume out of no where. And I'm not just gone in the mix because I'm standing next to the amp and I can...

http://static.musiciansfriend.com/derivates/6/001/505/145/DV019_Jpg_Regular_H70377.001_white_headstock.jpg I really like the looks of these clover tuners that have a raised middle section. Can someone tell me who makes these and if they are easily found? I have a Yamaha BB1025X and it...

So, I jsut recently purchased a Yamaha BB1025X and I also got a new set of chrome Loxx straplocks. I tried just swapping them with the strap buttons but I couldn't get them in more than a turn and a half. Is this just an obvious "drill out the hole" solution? If so I think I'm going to...

Yamaha BB1025X. It came...it finally came. Best neck I have ever played. I can't say enough good things about this beast.

I'm looking into possibly getting this case for my BB1025X but something concerned me about the way that the bass is angled: Invalid Link Removed I'm worried that the G string machine head won't have enough room in this case and the bass won't fit. Does anyone have one that could fill me...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a Yamaha BB1025X. It should be arriving late next week and I can't wait. I played one about a month ago and it had a neck that just fit my hand better than any bass I have ever played. My major question now is what are some case options...

I'm THIIIIIIIIIIIIS close to pulling the trigger on either the BB425X or BB1025X. I recently heard that when it's set to only the single coil bridge pickup the hum can be an issue. In a lot of my projects I tend to solo the bridge pickup and I was wondering if anyone had any insight. And...

I usually avoid Sam Ash and Guitar Center like I would an ex-girlfriend at a party. You see them from across the room and there's a small part of you that gets that bite of nostalgia that brings a small smile to your face but then you remember what a pyscho-nutjob she really is and you try to...

I want one of these....the vintage white is GORGEOUS...but I can't figure out if the price difference is worth going up to the 1025. I went on the Yamaha site and did their "Compare" feature but they don't have ANY specs listed for the 424 or 425 on their site. Does anyone know what the...

Ahoy all, So in my quest for my next purchase I have gone through a few possibilities. The newest entry into the race is Cort's 75GB in white blonde. I know ZERO about these basses but from what I have read on here they are a great bang for your buck (especially considering my prior...

So I am currently plotting out a Warmoth build and as I suspected it is taking me forever to pull the trigger because I need to make sure everything is just right for what I want. Right now I have the neck and body all figured out so I've moved on to hardware and electronics. I'm looking...

So...I've been thinking about going back to my roots and getting a passive 5 string fender...problem is I'm a picky bastard and nothing I can find right now fits into my price range or what I like aesthetically. Someone suggested I look into Warmoth and from what I see it does look like the...

Ahoy, So, I totally fell into nostalgia the other day at one of my guitarists house. We were bored so we decided to mess around with some song ideas but I didn't have any of my basses with me. I had given him my first bass yeeeeears ago when I started playing 5 strings and he brought it...

So I recently got me a new pair of D'Addario Nickel Wound XL 170 bass strings and I'm really confused. All of the strings seem to be perfectly fit for a 5 string bass EXCEPT the B string. Its starts to taper just shy of the nut. What gives with this? Has anyone else had a similar issue...

I have a show coming up at a small venue so I'm only bringing my 4x10 with and I had an idea for tilting the cab so that I can hear myself better and I wanted to know if anyone has done it before and had any luck with it. I was thinking if just taking off the back two casters to achieve the...

I was looking for some slight clarification on the RB series. I'm currently using the 700RB and I have been reading some posts about the GK growl and I'm curious what causes this besides the Boost knob. I mean, I'm kind of an EQ frown kinda guy (high's and lows cut slightly and mids boosted...

Ok, I'm dumb...this is well documented. And my main band is ridiculous (normal people don't write a whole thrash/black metal album based on the Indiana Jones movies). But it's super fun and I have recently thought about adding to my collection. Now...what I want is a 5 string Ironbird...I...

Ahoy hoy. Let me start by saying I am not a gear head and I pretty much have just pick up a bass that is comfortable for me to play and I've just used it regardless of stock pickups or amplification. I've recently been trying to get a better understanding of how I'm making the noise...

I'm running a regular Boss Bass Overdrive pedal and I'm wondering for anyone who might have this head if running it trhough the effect in/out and different than right into your head. Is the effects in out using hte effect pre eq or something? Thanks!

For this question the cabs referenced are a 4x10 and a 1x15. I've pretty much have used the same amp configuration for 14 years and recently upgraded. 1. Is it ok to leave the casters on these cabs and just stack them on their side? Does this alter the sound or harm the cabs in any way...

I was wondering if I could get an answer to a question I had about my rig. I have been using a GK 700RB-II head through a 410RBX-II cab and I want to extend my rig to include a 15. I found a good deal on a GK 115RBX and I was looking at the specs and I was getting completely confused...

So, let me just say I am not a gear head so if there is an obvious answer to this I apologize. I was looking into purchasing a used set of mid to early 90's Trace Elliot cabs (410 and 115) from my drummers other bass player. I went to try them out and I was really shocked at how little...
