    Which EMG set fits my Warwick Corvette?

    I have a ‘99 Warwick Corvette 5 string with two J style MEC pups that I’d like to upgrade to an EMG set. Just wanted to check with the TB gurus to make sure which set I need to buy first. My guess is the EMG J5 set? Thanks

    Changing preamp tubes for more drive on a ‘74 SVT

    I’ve always been able to get a fair amount of overdrive and grit on my ‘74 SVT with the volume around 4. Awhile back I blew a fuse at a show and got my head completely retubed at my tech, and now I have much more clean headroom. This was awhile back, but I vaguely remember him telling me I had a...

    SVT headroom question

    Hey guys I have a early 70s Blackline and was wondering if the amount of breakup I'm getting is normal, or if I should have it looked into. I play a G&L SB2 (passive j/p), tuned to drop A. Going into a 4 ohm load (one 410, one 215, both Mesa PH...also have an acoustic 118 that I'll swap in)...

    Advice needed: Friend offered his Fender J for my Warwick..

    Let me start this with a disclaimer: I'm mainly a guitarist and have only been playing bass seriously for a couple of years, so I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to most bass gear. :) I have a 2001 Thumb bolt-on Ltd (only 150 ever made). It's a great sounding bass, and he's played it many...

    Which amp for stoner/doom and blues rock/funk/zydeco?

    I know, a lot of styles, a lot to ask from an amp The stoner/doom is my main band. I'm going to be going into this amp with my les Paul guitar, through a detuner and splitter, as well as into my Matamp full stack...it's a duo. I need loud, chunky, punchy, overdriven tones. I also tune to Z so...

    Which second cab to get? (Orange content)

    So I play low tuned sludge/doom/stoner tunes, and I'm building a new bass rig for it. This will be to compliment a Matamp full stack for guitar. So far I have an OBC 115, and I plan on getting an AD200B. Should I get a second 115 or go with the 410? Right now I'm using a loaner Sunn Concert...

    Any potential problems using my guitar head for bass?

    For extended periods. I got my vintage Orange OR-120 in last week and it sounds amazing for both guitar and bass. It actually sounds 10x better than my Mesa M-Pulse 600. Punchy, loud, and VERY beefy. I'm sitting it on my 410, with the impedence selector set to match. I'm asking if there...

    Orange amp guys: a couple questions on the Bass Terror and the OR-120

    Hi guys, I'm a long time Orange guitar amp fan. So I thought I'd give the Terror Bass a shot. Has anyone tried it? How is it for fingerstyle? (think Flea's fingerstyle tone) I also just bought (isn't shipped yet) an OR-120. I've read a couple reviews where guys used it for bass. One says it...

    Little Mark III or Little Mark Tube?

    Hey guys. I just sold my Mesa M-Pulse 600 and plan on buying one of those two amps. I couldn't get along with the Mesa, so after a few gigs of fighing with it (that's my 5th Boogie, both bass and guitar), I decided to go with something punchy that doesn't color the tone of my wick Thumb Ltd too...

    One amp to rule them all! Need suggestions for a bass/guitar rig.

    I'm using a Mesa MPulse 600 that I find takes awhile to dial in to a good tone, then once I'm on stage, it's another bout of knob tweaking (it was the same with the previous 3 Mesa amps I've owned, though those were for guitar). I need to buy another amp head for guitar for an upcoming...

    New member, new bassist, need advice on my tone please

    I've been playing guitar for 15 years, converted to bass about 4 months ago and I love it. I find my tone to be "woofy", though, and I'm just so tired of adjusting everything. Pickup height, EQ, string height, etc. I'm VERY much a plug and play guy. I like a good solid tone, nothing extravagant...

    Does heavy guage strings = fatter tone?

    Sorry for the noobish question. String brand recommendations would be awesome too. I play blues/rock. Thanks!
