Went to play through my Moog ring mod and realized it wasn't plugged in to power. I plugged the 9v adapter into the pedal and got a LOUD pop. It sounded exactly like when I fried a chip in my first amp. But everything 'seems' to be working fine. No unusual speaker clipping, amp works to full...

Lately I have been trying to find some death metal songs to cover on 4-6 string bass. Everything is usually way too advanced. My most recent effort has been Obscura's "Anticosmic Overload". I have most of that pretty solid (except the tremolo bit the bass does over the main riff). Post some...

The Neutrik locking jack on my Ibanez BTB is crackling really loud when I move slightly. It isn't the cable. I checked the connection and the wires are not undone inside. Any ideas on how to fix this without wasting $50 at Guitar Center?

I'm going to be playing doom metal with a lot of fuzz and was wondering how I could avoid feedback destroying my cab/amp between songs. I run a Carvin B2000 into an Avatar 410 @ 4Ohms. I know my amp has a built in limiter (or so their website says) but from my last experience with Carvin I...

I currently own a 5-string MIM Jazz bass with some dead pickups. I've been searching for some new pickups that will add some real growl and came across the Bartolini 59J1 pickup set. Specs of them are 3/4" x 3-1/16" - 0.75" x 3.60"/ 19mm x 91mm for the neck. For the bridge 3/4" x 3-3/4"...

When trying to dial in the perfect tone is it best to have your bass's EQ set all the way up (with pickup selection to your choice) and then do all of your EQ'ing on your pre-amp/amp head? I know by having EQ on your bass with some frequencies turned down you can't dial those frequencies back...

Anyone know someone who can fix up a blown Carvin B1500 in or around Syracuse?

Fresh out of the box and the bottom right speaker is buzzing. How lenient should I expect Avatar's customer service to be as far as replacement goes? Still no reply from them. I'm sick of my amplification nightmare. :scowl:

How would I go about controlling the rate of a flanger effect while playing? Much like this song at 7:50 till the end. YouTube - Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis

I just got back from a Gwar show, the opening act, Mobile Death Camp's bassist was using a cab that perplexed me. It appeared to be a 610 but the top speakers may have been 212's. There was some kind of cover over the speakers (probably why I perceive them as 212's). Any explanation? :help:

I see on a lot of bass cabs that there is a little slot or opening at the bottom just under the speakers. What is the purpose of it?

Been considering an Avatar 410 and the 212. I haven't decided which one to get first as a stand alone cab. If I do get the 212 first it will be the 1000W version at 8ohms. What head should I be looking for to pair with this rig? I was thinking the new Ampeg PF-500...

My goal is to be able to tap the bass solo in the Necrophagist song "Stabwound". The riffs in the song are just a matter of woodshedding but the solo is so technical that my fingers can't even keep up at 1/4 the tempo of the song. The solo is about 35 seconds into the song if you want to check...

The cabs in my current rig have to go because they can't handle the power from my Hartke HA2500. I won't be naming the brand but let's just say you get what you pay for. What I'm having trouble doing is finding a cab that can handle a simple 250W and still compete with two guitarists and a...
