So I have been using my Goliath III for about 8 years now and it has always done well for me. Recently I have noticed an undesirable hiss from the horn when I turn on my amp. It sounds like it may be a blown driver when I play through it unless I turn down the l pad, then I just get a bit of...

So I played a 4 hr gig last night and for the first time in my career, I could not get my amp working. I did of course have a DI so I went to FOH but I had no live amp on stage. Everything appeared to be functioning normally, but I was able to get no output through my cab whatsoever. I check...

O I recently got a B3 and have had fun creating some great "gigging" patches in my home studio setting. I took the littl red box with me to my last rehearsal and what flabbergasted by how noisy the thing is in a live setting. The thing is so hot that it maxed out my channel on the mixer and I...

So I'm not really a bg fan of Jason Mraz, but I was checking out the live video the other day and fund myself in love with the tone from the bass. Got to looking and found it was Bruce Hughes and I can see that he has a modest pedalbard setup and an SVT 8x10 can, bu I was unable to locate an...

So I found out I have onset RA which really grinds my gears. I'm 30 years old and I play the bass about 20-30 hrs a week give or take. My RA is not debilitating, but it is most noticeably painful in the fingers of my left hand. Go figure. When I wake in the morning I can rarely make a...

So I have Type 85 DI that I bought used from the bay. It is not the prettiest BX because it has been used well for years, but it seems to function properly and provides a nice clean signal to the board. The problem is the transformer block has come detached from the lower frame so it slides and...

I have had many effects pedals In and out of setup over the years and eventually found my way to the NOVA system. It has taken the place of all my other effects except looper at my feet and I love it. I think what I like most about it is that it does not disguise the tone of my instruments. It...
