I thought it was expected at NAMM but I can't find anything about it. What's up?

My background is in guitar, and my experience in that realm is that certain amps are a good match for certain guitars. For example, I'd pair a Vox with a Strat, but not a Les Paul. I'd like to know if there are certain bass amps that are especially well suited for pairing with a Jazz Bass...

I keep reading that the ARt Pro VLA II is great for bass, but then I also hear that hard knee compression is better for bass, while the VLA opto compresser is soft knee only. As a unit to add to my rack to go along with my rackmount bass head, which one would you suggest for bass compression?

Is there a standard setting for the knobs that everyone uses (especially the tone knob). I'm used to guitars where everybody leaves the pickup volumes all the way up, sets the tone knobs all the way to treble, and installs a capacitor to roll off highs if they want to do that. So do we just...

I've been reading the manual, and it keeps referring to the "master volume." I think it's the knob labeled "woofer" in the "bi-amp output" section. Is that right? What if I'm recording direct? Is it still the woofer knob or does the level knob in the direct out section effectively become the...

I've been compressing ny bass using the standard protools plugin, and I'm thinking about getting a hardware compressor to use on the way in, before it hits the preamp. Is there any benefit to doing that? Are tube compressors worth the extra money? I'm thinking about the DX 166XL and the ART...

It's a GSR200 and I have the strings out of the way and the truss rod cover off, but it seems like the nut is glued on to the end of the fretboard or something. I'm trying to shim it. How do I remove it? Or am I just supposed to slide something under it and leave it apparently glued to...

I was wondering what people think about using a pignose G40V as a recording amp. It's basically a bassman clone, or so I hear, and I already have it for guitar, so I thought I would try it on bass. I have a Celestion G10 speaker in it. I liked the smooth, middy, growly tone I got with...

I'm going bass shopping this weekend and my price range is $500 - $1500, or maybe just little more if I find "the one" and it's a tad over. Here's my list of basses to try: Geddy Lee J Bass (tried before, loved the fast neck); American Standard J Bass; American Standard P Bass...

I hear over and over again that tone is in the fingers, but I want to play with a pick (because of my guitar background). But the tone I get when recording is awful. I'm plugging straight into a GK700RB and using the direct out. I get huge amounts of fret buzz, too. I wind up low passing...

Here is my latest attempt at making music. It's too big to upload, so please access it at my soundclick account page here http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1095297. The title is "Moar Funk Pleez." I wrote and performed all parts except the drums. I used professional drum...

Hey, I'm looking for a pedal that will pass the signal when I step on it and cut the signal when I lift my foot. I want it to be noiseless, and I don't want a switch that clicks to pass and then I have to click it again to cut. I need it to be very fast. Is there anything out there like that?

What else can I do to my bass that's not a waste of time and money? I have an Ibanez Soundgear Gio and I put active EMG pickups in it and new strings. I was hoping getting it setup would make it play faster, but no luck. I'd love to get a Jazz Bass, but then my spouse, who gave me this...

In a conference I attended this year, I was surprised and alarmed to discover that US Courts have split recently over an issue that might impact many home recording artists seeking to save money on copyright registration by registering albums, instead of individual songs. Basically, some...

Basically, I'm trying to find out if there are any pedals out there that could be used to duck one signal under another as a function of an external trigger signal. Basically, a compresser with an external key input or side chain, but in a pedal. In my five minute google search, I found that...

My bass sounds OK on my monitors and headphones, but when I play on laptop speakers it disappears. Somebody recommended this item to me to fix that. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MaxxBCL/ It's too expensive for me. Are there any other ways to fix this problem?

I'm planning to get the Electro Harmonics Big Muff Pi and run it into my GK amp and then DI from it into my M-Box. Does the Big Muff Pi effectively do some compression of its own? Should I compress before the pedal, or is it all good to compress it in the box?

I am looking for suggestions for pickups to put on an Ibanez. I like a Chili Peppers or Primus type of groove, so that's what I am aiming for. Sometimes I play slap, and other times use a pick, if that matters. From googling, it looks like flea and les both use EMGs. Am I looking for an...

I'm looking for a really good setup on a cheap bass (Ibanez) in the DFW area. This bass was a gift from my spouse and I need to keep and use it. Can anyone direct me to a good tech in my area who doesn't mind doing extensive work on a cheap bass?

I've noticed that my bass guitar track drops out on some equipment, like on laptop speakers, for example. I've also been getting some feedback about my recordings that the bass sounds "too deep" or "overcooked," and I'm trying to decide what to do. If you want to hear it, you can check out my...
