I came across this old post by speaker designer Bill Fitzmaurice. I'm assuming it's accurate but wondering what your take is. I'm asking because I've been tinkering around with speaker box designs and noticing that a lot of commercial cabs seem to be tuned pretty high which would give them a...

I'm taking a vacay to Rome with the fam. We plan on seeing all the big touristy stuff. I'd like to check out the music scene there at night. Both my wife and I like jazz. Can anyone recommend some clubs to check out, music scene listings, or any other music or non music related things to do that...

I have a 70's p bass neck that I love and have had on a few different bodies now. It has a nice patina and a few dings that look cool. I try not to be too picky about looks but I alway felt it looked out of place on bodies with a new glossy poly finish and always kind of wanted a vintage body to...

I have an old Carvin 1x12 cabinet about 1.4 cf with a 3x3 port loaded with an Eminence S2012. It has a piezo tweeter that I never use. I'm wondering if anything would be gained from removing the tweeter and making this into another port. Eminence actually has a recommended enclosure design for...

Schroeder has a compact 1000 watt/2ohm amp coming out. Not much info on his site yet but it looks cool. I like a simple 3 band EQ as long as the sound is there. Interested to hear more about this one. https://www.schroedercabinets.com/l-v-series

Any feedback on this cab? How does it compare to other high end 210s? I'm using an older Bergantino 2x10 now which I like but the Ampeg is close to 1/2 the weight.

I just picked one of these up and early results are very promising for upright. It seems to do a good job of taming piezo quack and feels balanced through the range of the bass with no external preamp required. The EQ is intuitive and responsive. No noise/hiss, no fan noise. Notes just feel good...

I have a jazz gig coming up with this instrumentation and I am looking for inspiration. Any recommendations for what to listen to? I should add that we're coming from bop/post bop but enjoy more modern ecm-ish stuff too

Has anyone compared the carbon fiber 112 cabs made by GR Bass? The 112h versus the cube? Wondering if there's a big difference in sound /volume. They're both about the same weight and the cube is only a bit smaller.

From the Full Circle manual: "Turn the wheel so the wire is perpendicular to the leg and the pickup will have an open, resonant response. Turn the wheel 45 degrees so the wire faces one of the corners and the tone will be somewhat drier and more focused, with less output. Please take the time...

I've been playing a long time but I'm an effects newb. How do I get the sound on the attached clip? Synth pedal, Octave? I'm on a very tight budget.

Are conversations done though the 'ask a question' button at the top of a classified ad private between the buyer and seller or can everyone who clicks on the ad see the conversation?

I've been enjoying downtuned Thomastik Superflexible solo gauge for a while. I'm finding that I like the soft feel under my right hand for jazz pizz. How do the Zyex lights compare for tension/softness under the right hand for jazz pizz? I've used 4/4 weichs a lot too so any comparison to...

How are Rosser's nitro finishes on the bodies he offers? I've found a few pics but most are pretty low res and hard to tell just what the finish looks like. Some of the higher quality pics I could find look like a cheap rattle can finish, some look better though. MJT finishes look a lot better...

I'm looking for examples of arco playing on jazz ballads. Not solos but comping. I play with a singer who asks me to back her up with the bow on some of the ballads she sings. Need some inspiration.

Great sounding and playing bass in excellent condition. It's set up nicely including a nut adjust which has been a big issue with some of the new ones. Strung with DR high beams and has a WD tort pickguard. I'll include the original white as well. Weighs 7.5lbs $325, buyer pays shipping...

Anyone compare these two combos? Are they essentially the same except for lighter weight of the mb58r? I know the specs are slightly different but wondering if anyone has heard them side by side.

Amazon has this new Vintera Jazz for $587. Seems like a good price? Was tempted but just bought a new bass. Thought I'd pass it along...

Wondering if anyone has tried this preamp. It seems to have everything I want in a pre (eq with sweepable mids, hpf, di, battery power, compact size) and nothing I don't. It's designed for acoustic guitar but might be nice for bass? Stage DI-2 Prestine — sunnaudio.com

Beautiful bass in very good condition. Swamp ash body and maple neck and fingerboard. Original single coil pickups. Plays and sounds fantastic. There are a few nicks and scuffs but overall clean. Neck is straight and the truss rod works fine. Light weight at 8lbs 2oz. Sale includes cheap gig...

Tiny 500 w power amp in excellent condition. This is the bass version with the speakon connector. I replaced the original rubber feet with larger ones as seen in the picture. Sale includes clamshell bag pictured. Full Disclosure - This had sold recently and arrived to the buyer with some...

A couple months ago I was in guitar center and got excited when I saw one last set of sunbeams on sale for $5 until I noticed they were short scale. I picked up my first short scale bass a couple weeks back. Today at GC that same set was sitting there waiting for me. I'm looking forward to...

Minor quibble: When I hover over the 'Inbox' tab I get a handy drop down menu showing links to conversations. The problem is that the conversations shown are seemingly random and from several years ago making that feature unusable. It would be nice if the drop down menu was ordered by date and...

In excellent condition, neck is straight and truss rod works fine. It's a 2014 60th anniversary edition. Square heel block fits tele style basses. Holes are drilled for Hipshot Ultralite tuners which would be covered if vintage style tuners are installed. String tree not included. Rosewood...

I just sold a bass on Reverb, which I haven't done before with the 'pay through reverb' thing. I charged a flat rate for shipping and used my own label - not reverb shipping. It looks like I've gotten paid minus my shipping charge. The bass just shipped today. Is this normal? Does shipping gets...

I'm playing a concert next month and may be asked to suggest a few pieces. The instrumentation is violin, guitar and bass. I was told that they want more classical/pops and they don't want jazz. A google search hasn't turned up much and I'm not sure I really want to get into arranging music for...

edit: this was meant to be posted on the double bass side amps forum. Mods you can delete this or if people are interested in continuing this discussion be my guest. Obviously this topic is a bit less relevant with an bass guitar on your back versus an upright. Assuming that you are using an...

This is a great bass that hasn't seen much play time. It's in excellent condition. The E string is just a bit lower volume than the other strings. I found it perfectly playable but you may want to get the saddle leveled to compensate. It's strung with TI Acousticores and the Rick Turner...

Has anyone compared these two? I have the Fishman and mostly like the sound, but I'm finding the hpf to be limited and not super crazy about the eq. How much gain does the Headway have? I sometimes will use a power amp that needs decent signal boost to the input and have heard there isn't a lot...

I find myself as band leader more and more these days. Usually a 5 piece band with mostly just vocals in the PA and everyone running through their amps in small/medium venues, country clubs, hotels, club date/GB/casual stuff, not too loud. How much and what kind of extension cords do you guys...

Has anyone compared these? The 1x10 is bigger and seems like it would sound fuller but the 1x8 has that excellent faital driver. The slightly smaller size and weight of the 1x8 is appealing as well.

Excellent condition, hasn't seen much use. Price includes shipping to the conUS.
