I have a vigier passion bass with an 18 volt preamp that goes through batteries in about 3 weeks whether i play it or not. Is there anything I can check for with a volt meter? Any help would be appreciated

i have had 5 thunderbirds in my life time. I had two early nineties versions and they both seemed to have the vintage entwhistle growl and slim necks but I couldn't stand the look of the black hardware. I had a non reverse version for a while but it had been refinished and it didn't sound...

I'm thinking of purchasing a glockenklang soul head. My question is will it have enough power to drive a single 15 8 ohm cabinet in small club venues? I play classic rock.

I bought this on ebay this weekend. the seller says it was made in the 90's. i can't find any info on line. I thought the color was cool and the three pickups. Any body have one or know anything about it?

I'm always reading threads about how badly people want to own a ric that have never had one. I've had 5 in my life time. Currently i have a 3001, 4004 and a 4001 cs. My question mainly pertains to 4001 and 4003s. My 4001 is great obviously for yes but also old genesis and the first pfm album...

I saw this and it mad me sad. Why would anyone do this to a perfect bass. Even in 76 you might have thought it would increase in value. I almost considered buying it but that big ugly pickup would always bug me and you would have to refinish it black to get rid of it

Throughout the Tormato album Chris Squire used some sort of envelope filter and other effects. I had a DOD filter and it sounded similar but you couldn't control it very well and it distorted to the point where i actually blew out a speaker. Does anyone know what he used or a similar more...

I just purchased a 74 ripper. I own several other gibson basses but have never owned a ripper. I thought something was wrong with it when i couldn't use the neck pickup alone.then, I did the research and found it's wired that way. My question to those who own an older one is that , do you just...

I have an intermittent problem with my svt. 2 times it has basically turned it self off. It hasn't happened during playing but during standby time. It's happened at 2 different venues and it turns back on when I turn the switch off and on again. Anyone experience this or have any ideas...

In the esrly 70's John Entwistle and John Paul Jones used synthesized bass on some tracks. I haven;t been able to find any information on what they used. I'm assuming it had to be something other than the electro harmonix unit. does any body know? thanks, martin
