    Jason Newsted using flatwounds?

    Ibanez basses naturally mellower? HELP

    Hey. Ive run into a problem with my rig; I don't like how mellow my tone is. I suspect after a lot of fiddling around, trying different guitars, that my Ibanez SR bass is very mellow and bassy, not tight and high as I'd like. Comparing my Ibby to say a Jazz or a Stingray, or even a Wal, they...

    $150 dollars store credit... what do I need?

    Hey everyone, I have a fork in the road... kind of. Over the holidays, I was given a very nice, but not so practical Berhinger V-amp bass amp effect station. After fiddling around with it for some time, I have decided it is a little bit "too much" for what I need. I already have a VT bass pedal...
