    James Jamerson on a maple neck?

    I am in a soul band and have been wanting a p bass strung with flats for a while. I was in a shop a few weeks ago and fell in love with this new offering from fender: Invalid Link Removed What is people's experience with flatwounds on maple vs rosewood? I've never had a maple fretboard...

    Mismatched cone dilemma in my Eden D210XLT

    Well, I have a D210XLT reading 8 ohms on the back of the cab. I blew a cone on tour and in a hurry bought a pair of EC1060F speakers on the road. I assumed they were either 4 or 8 ohm, but realized when i had my flashlight and screwdriver out in the parking lot before a gig that they read "16...

    Resurrecting tone from poorly recorded bass tracks

    I've got a doozie of a problem to fix on Tuesday... Got a guy who recorded his album in Nashville with a session bassist. He's doing a few days of touchups at my studio in San Fran this week before mixing it at the Hangar in Sacramento. Anyway, the album sounds amazing, but we don't like...

    Sound for Obama speech earlier tonight... ***?

    Man, the White House sound team usually nails the Prez's vox, but tonight was just dirty. Insane verb from the room, skwonky mids, the compressor pumping like crazy and sucking the hiss from the preamp forward at the end of every phrase... it sounded like they were fighting a PA inside the...

    Bassists who save other bassists' asses on the road

    Just gotta give a big shout out to James from Palo Alto aka jellymax on TB who saved my ass. I blew a cone on my Eden rig the practice right before the first show of our tour. Put out a not-too-hopefull CL add seeing if anyone in the area had an extra eden 10" driver. Got an email on my phone...

    did I blow the cone or the crossover?

    Just blew a cone (or at least I think) in my Eden D210xlt. They no longer offer reconing, and a replacement speaker is $150 and 3-4 weeks away. :bawl: I knew somebody who had a similar thing happen to their 2x10, they ordered a new speaker, replaced it, and it was still making the noise...

    Music or women... tonight I feel like a douche

    Just had to share my feelings... I was supposed to go see Yonder Mountain String Band at the Filmore in SF tonight with the front man from my band. Although I'm not obsessed with bluegrass, Yonder is an amazing live act, and I grew up in Colorado so they are a close band to my heart. I've...

    So, there's a "Recordings" forum... how bout a "Recording" forum?!

    Seems the Recordings forum covers recordings, both classic and obscure, and the Recording Gear forum covers gear.... I feel the need for a Recording forum that discusses recording theory, technique, practice, history, etc

    Music Man Big Al Bass Fan Club!!!

    I didn't see a fan club for the Music Man Big Al: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I got one of these basses about two months ago and it is a TONE MONSTER. I can't say enough good things about it. The tone is on the aggressive side, and it can do anything from quacky J bass tones to...

    bassist/singer newbie to IEMs

    Just started researching in ear monitors and am overwhelmed with all the info... I'm a bassist who sings, and I think what I'm looking for is just something to feed vocals into my left ear for vocal pitch. I've heard of IEMs with an ambiance control or a mic inside the earpiece. I was...

    phase aligning a DI with a mic on amp in a live situation

    I'm a bass player who makes my living from live sound and recording. In recordings, its always great to phase align the DI of the bass with the mic on the amp. Since they'll be a few milliseconds apart you just slide the mic'ed waveform forward in your DAW. If you're using tape you can use...

    need help deciding on an all eden setup

    So, I took a nice almost new guitar in to a store in San Francisco today to see what I might be able to get for it. I was originally going for an Eden WT550 head with an Eden Nemesis 2x10 (they only cary the Nemesis 2x10 and Nemesis 1x15 cabs at this shop). But, I am worried I might soon be...

    about to trade my Gibson SG for an Eden WT550

    I'm desperate for a new rig, as I'm touring at the end of this month. I have a crappy SWR workingman's 15 that isn't cutting it. I've tried everything in town, and am leaning toward the Eden WT550 head. I've heard nothing but great things, and from my own tests and subjective listening, the...

    Double Bass Best non-invasive pickup for mounting to a rental bass?

    Hello, My first post on these forums... :smug: I'm curious what folks would recommend as the best clip on pickup, or a pickup that could be self-installed without removing or altering the bridge. I am renting a fairly nice instrument from a generous teacher. It doesn't have a pickup, and I...
