    AMPEG B115E cab spkr replacement: C2515 vs.Kappa-15LFA

    AMPEG B115E cab spkr replacement: So I want a 15 that can take a punch - as in, being powered by a AMPEG PF500 in full out 500W mode (4 Ohm). The "rig" is a AMPEG PF500 head, a AMPEG B115E (1x15 cab) and a Harkte 210XL cab. Wired so the rif runs in 4 Ohm load.t At higher volumes, The...

    Need source for single colored bass strings

    Bruddah's I’ve come upon what is perhaps a bad habit. I have a nice IB SR405 5 string bass, on which I put a black colored 5th string. The rest of the strings are “normal” colored, like DiAdario XL’s. My thinking on the black 5th string was it would help me “visualize” the neck better...

    Ampeg PF500 - all I'll ever need.

    I've had this head for about 9 months, many gigs. It's the bomb. Search is over. The compression circuit is very musical. If you can't find your sound on this thing, then I suggest you take up another instrument. No probs with this thing at all. Perfect "working mans" bass head. I play it...

    2X10 cabs: Peavey HL 210 vs. Hartke 210XL

    I want to add a 2x10 cab to use alone and with an Ampeg B115E. I'm looking at the Peavey Headliner 210 and the Hartke 210XL. Close enough in price, so... ? Any experience with either or both? TIA, -ym

    New Ampeg B115E breaks up - asking too much?

    Just bought an Ampeg B115E 1x15 cab, driving it with a MicroVr. The B115E breakups big time - like something is about to fly apart - if I boost the bass control on the amp and turn it up to "club level" volume - which is pushing the VT head pretty hard. So, is the cab defective? I was...

    Anyone online still selling the PD7

    I can't find this pedal for sale online anymore. Discontinued? Superseded by something (undoubtedly more expensive)? TIA, -ym

    Colored low-B (only) for my 5string? Single strings avail?

    Well, I love the sound of my five, but I've played the standard Fender 4string for so long, that sometimes that low-B string confuses my eyes. I think if I put a colored (black?) string on that Low-B, it would help me remember that it;s NOT the E-string! Sorta like "training wheels". I...

    Fender Noiseless J Bass Pickep - ANYTHING BUT NOISELESS!

    We'll I got a single J-bass Fender Noiseless to put in the bridge position of my PJ bass - and MAN IS IT noisy! The neck pickups are EMG Select P-style split pair - perfectly quiet. That Fender Noiseless on the bridge position hums like a sumbitch! Is it just me?

    Anyone built a bass starting with a tree?

    I live in the woods. Thousands of oaks and maples (mostly). I think I'm ready to build a bass starting with an actual tree. Anyone else done this? How does one cut the body "blank" from the log? I'm thinking I'd use a chain saw, and cut diagonally so I had a slab large enough to make a...

    Instant 8-String (pedal)??

    Anyone found a pedal (or something) that gives you one octave up,and gets you to an "instant 8-string" on demand? Is the POG the only real choice for this? Any experiences? TIA, -YM

    Wanted: Instant 8-String stomper

    I've been searching/reading posts about octave FX pedals for bass, and most either do octave down only, and such... I'm looking for a simple stomp box to get me a one-octave-up effect for an "instance 8-string" sound. Has anyone had any (good) experiences in this area?? Thanks, -YM

    Ampeg Micro-VR fan whine - any mod ideas?

    So yeah, as expected (based on comments I've seen), my new Ampeg Micro-VR has a fan that "whines". I don't mind the fan, just the high pitched whine. Otherwise, very happy with the little thing. Has anyone tried swapping that fan unit for another one that's either quieter or less annoying?
