Long time since i've used these threads but since i'm in the market for new gear I know this is the best place to go. Anyway, I was quite a younger person when i got together my first bass rig, and now that i'm starting to realize i need to setup a better one, I decided to sell it off, add some...

There's a small little solo break during this song that i've been trying to figure out, and i got the first phrase of it out already. It's not the hardest line in the world, but i'm pretty inexperienced in this kinda stuff so I'll appreciate the help! The Song: Here's what i got so far (tab...

I just got the part of playing bass for my school's musical. Well, I'm the understudy, but nonetheless I don't think my clanky and bright stainless steels have the right kick that i'd want to show off during rehearsals and whatnot. The play is Grease, but I want a nice growly (if i'm using the...

So I got an Ampeg PF350 for christmas and yet to buy a cab for it. I need something that will deliver a nice punchy tone with my PF350 and ATK300 combination. The used selection at my guitar center specifies a few in my price range, right now i'm looking at a Carvin BRX210, Fender Rumble 410...

I'm pretty satisfied with the tone my PF350 puts out, but my local GC just listed a used B2R for $150. I'm thinking I could trade in my PF350 and my rather bland Kustom cab in for the B2R and a Yorkville 410. However, I've heard that the B2R doesn't really get too loud, so would it be a wise...

I recently picked up a Kustom 115 bass cab at a local pawn shop for about $100. I can find absolutely no information about it on the internet, but it sounds decent with my Ampeg PF350 (although not as punchy as i want it) A plate on the back says that the model is a 1-15B SRO. I really need...

My parents got me an Ampeg PF350 today for christmas, but they didn't realize I'd need a cab to go with it, haha. But this also gives me the opportunity to choose my own cab, and I was looking at some used ones at my local GC. An Ampeg SVT15EN 1x15 and a Fender Rumble 410. I only got to try...

I just joined an alt punk/indie band and i plan on playing some pretty melodic basslines with probably a lot of chords. I'm thinking some lighter gauge strings, but any particular kind that would make it sound alright? I'm currently using Ernie Ball Stainless Steel Hybrids, but they don't...

Couldn't find anything for this song. This band actually has two bassists, one playing a melodic line using mainly chords and the other playing a standard bassline. I'd very much appreciate a link to a tab for this song, or perhaps someone who knows how to play it can tab it out, thanks...

I know there have been many threads like this already, but i can't seem to find what i need. I have a hard time getting a nice pop-punk distortion tone through my bass amp. I play an Epiphone Les Paul Studio with Gibson '57 Classic pickups, a Peavey TKO 75 with a 7 band EQ and seperate...

I have a hard time getting a nice growly and punchy kind of tone from my ATK300, kinda like how it sounds in this song Invalid Link Removed at around the 0:40 second mark. Its a 1995 korean model with flatwounds and without the neck (left) position on the selector switch working , i'm...

Nooby question here. I've heard many people say that it can be strung through the bridge or body, but what does that exactly mean? The only way I know how to string mine through the back of the body. I'm using a 1995 4-string Korean Model, if that helps.

I plan on getting a cheap guitar soon to mess around with, looking towards a used VM Strat or any other decent entry level guitar. But how exactly would this sound through my Peavey TKO75 or Fender Rumble 15? both combo amps. I have a distortion pedal so simple effects won't be a problem...

I recently bought a 1995 Korean Made ATK300, but i'm having an issue with the pickup switch. It seems as if the switch's first position only works with the volume knob all the way up, and even then it's hard to make out. The input jack is also kind of messed up, it cuts out when the cord is...

Just bought a new cable, and this jack-adapter kind of thing came with it. All i figured out is that it's a stereo adapter, but i don't know how I could use it.

I recently got a '95 Korean Made ATK for a cheap price at a local pawn shop, with some minor problems. One of the previous owner(s) decided to make the first position of the selector switch shut the pickup off, and the input jack can crackle loudly at times. And another thing, how do 90's ATK's...

Just got my second bass today, an Ibanez ATK300 for $150, which was quite a steal. For some reason, the previous owner made the pickups shut off in the switch's first position, would i be able to change it back to the way it was? I'd also like to know the year it was made, Serial #: C...

I recently won an auction for an ATK300, with some minor issues. Here is the description. "Previous owner modified guitar to make pickups active (see pics of the back) & changed the selector switch to shut pickups off in the first position. There may be a short in the input jack. The sound...

I know 300's usually go around $300-$350 on average, but what about used 200's or the lesser known 100's? And if anyone know's of any 200's that are being sold now (none in the classifieds or ebay) let me know.

I can get both used for around the price of $150, but which would go better. Acoustic seems to be the obvious choice with 100w, but the Ampeg costs more if bought new, with only 50w. What I'd really like is a good tone, more than how loud it could be, don't plan on gigging anytime soon. This...

I am in a desicion to either get an Ampeg ba112 or an Ibanez ATK 3EX-something, the all black one. Anyway, the ampeg would be $150, while the Ibanez would be $170, great deals on both. But, if i get the amp, i'd be playing a squier Affinity P (with seymour D QP's) through an Ampeg. If i get...

I'm in a pickle here, and in a decision to buy either an amp or a bass. My current setup is only a Modded Squier Aff P bass with a Fender Rumble 15. I have enough money for a used Ampeg ba112 for $150, or i can save up for a used ATK for like $250-$300. Anyway, it's quite a bargain for the...

IBANEZ ATK310-WH 4 STRING BASS GUITAR RED COOL WHITE | eBay This is an ATK310 going for $209 on ebay. After looking at the description, it says its a factory 2nd with a flawed finish. I think i might go ahead and purchase it, but since it's a factory 2nd, is it worth the risk?

I'm pretty close to buying my 2nd bass pretty soon, and I've always wanted an ATK or an SBMM, but they were a bit too high for my price range. When i saw the GATK20, i thought it would be a pretty good buy. Anyone got around to trying one of these? They go for around $250 new. And if i...

Buying my second bass pretty soon, and i think i'd go for an OLP, mainly for the looks. I saw this at my local GC used, i played it and it sounded almost as good as an SB14. But i'm wondering, does this look more like a Sterling or a Stingray? To me it looks like a sterling, which i favor over...

It's the first time i tried to install new pickups, and when i was de-soldering the old ones, i felt the volume pot, and it was pretty hot. not hot enough to hurt, but it was pretty heated up. So what i'm wondering is, is that bad for the pots?

I recently won a box (6 packs) of Ernie Ball stainless steel strings on a contest Ernie Ball recently held. Seeing as one pack is $20, i could expect to get at least $80 if i sell this someplace else right? I'm dying to put these on my bass, but i could use money for other parts.

I have a Squier Precision that i'm gonna put Quarter Pounders in. The only guitar shop around is Guitar Center, and they will charge me $45, which i'm not sure is a good deal or not. If they're ripping me off on this, am i just better off soldering it myself? By the way, the only iron i...

2010 Fender Mark Hoppus Precision BASS BODY P Bass | eBay if i were to get this, all i'd need to do is install pickups and a new neck right? all the other electronics are still there?

I'm looking to replace the pickups on my affinity P Bass, but i don't know what brand. I'm looking for something more trebly, I play lots of Punk, so maybe a tone like Roger's from LTJ or Matt Freeman. I know i can't get such a tone out of an Affinity squier, but i'd like it to come somewhat...

I plan on changing the Neck to a Fender jazz neck, add in some Seymour duncan Quarter pounders, new pickguard and bridge. But seeing as this is an affinity, is it worth it to mod? I think with the jazz neck it will solve the crappy feel of the bass.

I'll be playing bass for marching band next year, and i don't really want to go and play my crap Squier Affinity P. So i think i've got two options, buy a new bass, or mod the Squier. I'd really like a SBMM SB14, but i don't think i'll have that money after the summer, so i think...

So, I'm pretty fed up with my crappy squier affinity precision, and I have about $400 saved up. I play punk mostly, like Rancid, Less Than Jake, Operaton Ivy, bands like that. I do plan on moving to slapping styles in a year or two. I've kind of been on the edge between A standard P-Bass...
