    Does any one know?

    I was listening to Carrie underwoods version of How Great Though Art. The bass track is unbelievably amazing! Does any one know who is playing the bass on that track? Thanks, Joseph.

    Tc Rh450 vs. staccato.

    Looking to possibly create a mid sized rig for mid size gigs where you have to break down fast and get off stage quick. I am kind of wanting to explore the tc line of class d amps. I like a smooth deep sound. The only demos I have seen show the player slapping or popping their bass while playing...

    Upright bass effect.

    Does anyone know of an effect that makes an electric bass sound like an upright bass? Also, on another note, does anybody use a reverb pedal in their effects loop? Thanks

    Fender jazz upgrade

    Hi, have a MIM jazz 4 banger and I am having problems with the pots cutting out when I move them. Would it be considered an upgrade to install American pups and pots or are the same as the MIM electronics in which case should I just have them cleaned? Also, should I get them from fender if it...

    P J bass

    Ok, here's the story. I was listening to some old nitty gritty dirt band and am super digging the sound and I find out they use a fender precision in their recordings. So I get the hots to have a precision but want a five string. I go down to my favorite music shop and put my hands on one and...

    SWR golight, omg what a sound!!!

    Well I finally got to hear the amazing sound that was in my head! I got my SWR golight 410 8 ohm last week but wasn't able to get all my equipment together until my gig this evening. You can see in my sig what all I have in the way of a gigging rig and the new SWR golight was the missing piece...

    speaker volume question.

    Instead of explaining the whole situation, I am going to ask individual questions as the thread progresses. If you had a 400 watt speaker at a certain volume from an amp, and you then plugged it in to a similar speaker with 800 watt capacity, would it have the same volume coming out of it?

    Another amp cab question

    O.k., I was on SWR's website last night and found out that they have a 410 working pro cabs in 4 and 8 ohm. I have a hartke ha 5000 with two high outputs and two low outputs and is 250 watts per channel @ 4 ohms. I will be using an ampeg B115 cab that is 200 watts @8 ohms and I will plugging...

    Amp/cab question

    What happens if the cab you want to play through is rated for way more than your amp puts out? Like a cab with 400 watts capacity @8 ohms and an amp that only puts out 170 watts @ 8 ohms. Will it sound good?

    Is it O.K. to praise sound engineers?

    I'm just kidding. I'm sure its o.k..... right? Anyway, I had a fantastic gig last night and just wanted to give a public style thanks to Vinnies Sound Machine out of Beeville, Tx last night for helping us with sound at our festival gig. The reason I posted here was to tell all of you that cruise...

    How does the bass get routed through the sound?

    I have been doing small gigs here lately and have just relied on my rig to put enough volume to get the job done. We are planning on doing some slightly bigger venues and I do not know how the bass gets connected from the xlr out on my amp to where ever it is supposed to go. The guy I am playing...

    Ground lift button.

    I am new to having professional equipment and I hooked up the direct out on my hartke 5000 to the pa at practice and it sounded horrible. Like it had no power.My amp was in such a position that I wasnt able to see the switches on the back. So I didn't push anything. I decided to go a different...

    First less than perfect gig. I guess it was about time.

    Had a busy weekend. Two gigs, one weekend, after a dry spell of about a month and a half. aside from sore fingers and no sleep. The last of the two gigs was a real doozie. It was in a "bar and grill" that the nice person that answered the phone said was family friendly. Oh, did I mention thast...

    Need help understanding cab choice

    Been playing bass for several years. I always played through a combo of one sort or another. I recently purchased Hartke HA5000 and a 210xl cab. I need a 15 to put under it. I played a 15xl cab the other day in the music store and it didnt sound as smooth as I would have liked. I play country...
