Hello, I am currently re configuring my bass rig and I have been considering having two custom 4x10 cabinets made and I was trying to decide on speakers. I've heard great things about these Eminence Delta 10A speakers but I was curious on people's opinions here. Specifically, I play metal and...

Hello all, Here's what's going on. I've got this head Fender Bassman 300 | Musician's Friend and I right now I am running it into an 8 ohm Mesa Boogie 4x10 cab. I run the the Gain on 2, master no higher than 4.5, the Bass/Treble around 8, and have both the deep and bright settings enabled. I...

Hello, I am in somewhat of a predicament. I currently have a 4 string bass that is a 35" scale. I play in C-Standard tuning with string gauges .050 .070 .095 .115 (which are comfortable to me and I like them). I am now looking into getting a nicer 4 string, likely something custom. I...

I've got a 6 string fretless bass and finally replaced the strings after having ones on there for a long period of time. I had Carvin Stainless Steels on there and they were a pretty light gauge, with the low B being a .128. I recently added a slightly thicker set of GHS boomers, with a low B at...

I've got a fretless 6 string bass and as of late, I have noticed that on almost exclusively the A string (and mostly the 5th fret and higher) it sounds like what I am hearing is fret buzz although I wasn't aware that was possible on a fretless bass. I am unsure if it is fret buzz due to a set up...

I've got a mesa boogie 4x10 cab that is 600W. I've currently got a 500W head on it but I always feel like I gotta crank it to get it to the volume I want it at. I have started looking at new heads but I was wondering, is it better to have a head that is slightly less in wattage than the cab or...

Anyone used this on bass??? http://www.ehx.com/products/stereo-polychorus

I have been exploring some compression pedals for my rig (the Empress Compressor, MXR M87, T-Rex Squeezer) but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these compressors, or other ones, on a 5 or 6 string bass. I am worried since the low B is such a low frequency that these compressor...

I've got Ernie Ball Power Slinky's on one of my basses and I think next time I get some strings I want something brighter, but also a set that retains a solid low end punch. If you guys could list your top three favorite "bright/deep" style strings, that would be awesome, or just some general...

I was listening to the album "Obscura" by Gorguts today and, while I know this is a longshot, I was wondering if anybody happened to know the gear that he used or how one might achieve a tone similar to his because it absolutely crushes. I'll post a link to a song for reference.

Hey guys I'm currently looking for a 35 inch 4 string fretted bass to buy, however, I can't break the bank too much. I currently have an LTD and I really don't like it, yet this seems to be the only bass I could find in a lower price range with a 35 inch scale, so if anyone has any suggestions...

I've got kind of an issue here. I have a Carvin 6 String fretless that is a 35 1/4 inch scale and I really can't seem to find any strings that quite fit this bass. Some companies have a 5 string set but then don't have the single strings to go with it. I just can't seem to find anywhere that...

Hey guys, I have a Carvin 6 string Fretless bass, 35 and 1/4 inch neck scale, and I have a strap for it that just doesn't really support it very well. After not that long of playing standing up, my back and shoulders start to ache so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good heavy...

I haven't really experimented with this, however I have been wondering about this: does how much you cut off the end of the string before restringing it affect the tension? I have bought Rotosound 66LDs at 45 - 105 gauges the last few times I have bought strings, yet the tension in standard...

Hey guys, I know there are alot of general threads about distortion pedals for bass, but I just want someone's opinion for a distortion pedal that has alot of tone shaping qualities, and also alot of sustain, yet is still crisp and clear. I am always concerned about being able to shape the tone...
