After all these years, I have found my way back to this forum ;) And I have brought you a gift from my long and weary travels! Enjoy my band's first single: . The bass used here is a Dingwall Combustion 5 (moved the pickups to match the NG2 configuration). We split the signal into three...

Dear community, Since our guitarist will switch between drop D and standard A tuning, I am planning on tuning to ADADG on my Dingwall combustion bass. However, I currently don't like the tension of the lower A and D strings (stock Dingwall strings, which are 45/58/75/98/127 I think). The top...

Hey guys, Lets keep it short :) . My old cab recently broke down, so I will soon need a new one to supplement my Microtubes 900. Needless to say, the Darkglass cab would probably be a perfect match. Is there any information yet regarding the cab's release date? I think I might have read about...

Hello community, I received my B7K ultra recently and started to play around with it a little. I bought it because I wanted to improve the sound of my bass, especially on gigs were the sound guy doesn't mic my cab and just takes straight DI. I found that the EQ section was working fine, but I...

Hello community, I would like to get a preamp pedal, but have difficulties choosing one. The pedals that interest me most are: * Sansamp bass VT DI * Darkglass B7K I have heard a lot of good things about both the VT and B7K. But I'm worried that the B7K just might be a bit too aggressive? I'm...

Hello community, I've read some threads about losing low end when using distortion/fuzz/... effect pedals. I've been thinking about getting a distortion pedal (Aguilar agro) since it does sound nice and would add value to a lot of my band's newer songs. But I would love to retain that sweet low...

Hello community, I'm looking for a good, cheap (± €100) USB interface, specifically for recording active or passive bass with best possible quality for that price. I don't have any mics so I would like to connect the bass guitar directly to the USB interface (if possible?). I've read a lot of...

Hello Guys, I'd need a new bass. It should - Be LIGHT so I can do fun stuff on stage :D - Sound punchy, I don't like a mellow sounding bass - Look cool, Fender precision models are awesome, especially when whole the fretboard has that natural look. - be easy enough to tap, slap...

Hello community, I think my bass has problems with intonation/bridge. It's a mexican made fender classic 60's jazz bass. Currently it's tuned dropped C and it has XL nickel wound strings on it. Last time I had a gig, but afterwards, my bridge settings changed. I don't think the bridge...

Hey guys I found a guy who wants to sell an Ibanez Blazer 1981 for € 500. I like the weight, the sound seems to be good too. The bridge is somewhat rusted, the knobs are too, but they work good. The neck seems slightly bend somewhere around the 12th fret. And there is fretbuzz above...

Hello guys My question is very simple: Some people advised me buying the Behringer BEQ700 and EBS multicomp. I don't really know if these are good. I'm actually kinda noob when it comes to compressors and band EQ's. Also, I don't really understand what compressors do, so, what do they...
