Hey guys, I figured I would ask the pros to ensure I dont underpower the cab I just bought. I just found an ampeg svt810hpc made in the USA brand new that I got a deal on for about 820$ (its been sitting at a small local mom & pop music store for over a year now and it was inventory from another...

Hello everyone, Ive been in the same spot for quite a while now...I have so many ideas, and so much material Ive wrote on my own, but I cant find other band members who share the same taste as me =/ Im trying to start a progressive death metal project with maybe some doom metal influences...

So who else here likes the legend from uruguay? :] Mendez is without a doubt my favorite bassist. On 11/1 I was lucky enough to see Opeth on their Heritage tour in Baltimore and from waiting hours before the show I got right up to the rail where nothing was between me and the stage. I was right...

hey everyone, Im very close to buying an ampeg SVT810 HPC, wonderful cab, brand new too! But would I be able to power it with my ampeg b2re 450wt head? I just wanted to ask you experienced guys if my head is safe for that big of a cab. Thanks so much, I have to make the decision tomorrow!

well hello everybody, I noticed a few others on here (and probably many more that I dont know) have been kept in the dark about the quality and overall the amp itself when speaking of the orange Crush Pix cr100bxt 100wt bass amp (that was me too before I purchased it) So I blindly bought it new...

hey guys, I just took a risk and purchased an orange crush pix 100wt combo amp. (I say risk because I CANT FIND ANY REVIEWS ON IT, not that I think it may be cheap or bad!) I love the sound of orange amps and even smaller orange combos have impressed me, so I thought despite the lack of reviews...

hello guys, I just put 50 bucks down to put this bass on lay away to be picked up at the end of the month. It has barts (mk 1 I believe) and the rest you can see from the photos, it appears to be a higher level btb if Im not mistaken, I simply fell in love with its tone, looks, and playability...

hello guys, I have decided to add a pickup cover to my fender mim dlx jazz bass. I wanted to ask you guys because I know many of you have great experience and could easily give me a few simple step by step instructions on mounting a pickup cover. Another thing is that I was concerned about...

OK, I'm hoping this isn't too serious, but I just received a very nice fender dlx active mim jazz bass as a graduation gift, its great, I love it (its missing the stacked knob coverings but I already ordered them) So I really like this bass but.... a small portion of the neck seems to have a...

hi everyone, I think I have an idea of the model, but I wanted your alls confirmation to be sure [im sure some of you own one yourself] The band is Opeth, easily one of my most favorite bands and Martin Mendez, [their bassist] has been a major influence to me and I enjoy all his work. But...

I live in west virginia , and needless to say there is a full blown all out epidemic of Stink Bugs. I was wondering if anyone else on here has problems with them. Im always paranoid they will crawl into my gear. lol They cant get through the cabs I have because of the tight cloth grills, but my...

hello, I have almost completely learned "The Leper Affinity" off Opeth's Blackwater Park, but right at the end I am stuck on this catchy lick martin mendez does. I tried finding tabs, none are accurate, tried watching him play it on their new dvd, cant see it well enough, and I cant really...

Hello, I was just wondering if you all could help me know if Im right or not. =) I was just watching a band dvd and noticed the bassist is using a bass that looks JUST like an Ibanez SR406 (which oddly enough I ordered a used one 2 days ago) So I was just wondering is this man, Martin, bassist...

I was very excited to finally move away from my combo amp years to a cab....Well, I got a GK 4x10 blx II cab with the Backline 600 gk head. I was sooo excited...until I tried it. Well the Speakers have rattling and when you turn the head on the power light stays on Red for a while and then goes...

ok, I took my new cab I purchased used from guitar center [ GK 4x10 blx II ] to my local music shop for some advice... Well it wasnt so good lol The rattling sound was definitely the problem, not a coil, but perhaps a tear? Well he tells me either to purchase a new speaker/speakers or use what...

ok, Im sure tons of you all will hate the artist lol But thats ok. (I personally love him) But have any of you guys ever played/owned an Ibanez K-5? I was wondering because Ive always loved fieldy's bass EQ setup. It can do sooo much to the tone you get and from what Ive heard it can go from...

ok, I understand there are way better gk amp heads and cabs, but I just bought a gk blx 4x10 400wt 8 ohm cab. Some helpful TB members gave me some ideas and I think Ill go with the backline 600 head. [since thats pretty much the amp made to be paired with the cab] This is where I was hoping you...

Once I was practicing at a friends house for a project I was in, and he had just recently bought a brand new 7 string Ibanez. He shoved me in a friendly joking way then I shoved him back...He stumbles backwards knocking an inscent burner off his dresser down onto his guitar! We were just...
