I have a number of bass amps all having active and passive inputs and I use them all with passive basses (Fender P Basses and J Basses). Since they are passive instruments I have been plugging into the passive input. I recently started using the active input with these passive basses and this...

I have been trying to figure out why my HA2000 occasionally loses volume and distorts. I think I am one step closer to finding the culprit (maybe) After opening the top of the amp I sprayed contact cleaner into the pots, eq sliders and on/off switch. I plugged the amp into a nearby wall socket...

I have a love/hate relationship with my HA2000. It sounds fine but after about an hour of playing it loses volume. When I turn up the volume it distorts and sounds like it farting for lack of a better explanation. I replaced the 12AX7 pre amp tube and thought that would solve the problem and it...

I'd really appreciate some help in understanding my amp/speaker/ohm question. I have a Hartke HA2000 with a 4x10 (8 ohm) cab. the manual says I will get 130 W from an 8 ohm load and 200 W from a 4 ohm load. Now I understand this (Two 8 ohm cabs = 4 ohm load) Everything is clear up to this...

I got a used 2006 USA J Bass and it has a BADASS BASS II bridge on it. I understand that Fender sometimes uses these bridges on artist models (according to my research) but mine is a standard USA J bass. I'm thinking that it was a replacement for the standard bridge, perhaps considered an...

Hey, how's it going? I was curious to see how many players are using JamUp for iPad as their bass sim software. I have been using JamUp for about a year now and if you get all the add ons it's impressive. The bass amp models all have their own unique sounds. There are plenty of JamUp reviews...

HELLLLLLLLLP! I am at loose ends with my active deluxe Jazz Bass ... love the bass but hate the active electronics. I sold all my basses with active systems and find that my passive Fender P bass and Warwick Corvette are most pleasing to my ear. I don't care for the way active systems color...

My MIM Deluxe Jazz Bass is active only and I'm considering an active/passive system. I have seen active/passive preamp units that will replace the J bass's controls and I wonder if that's all that's required to make the change and the cost would be pretty reasonable. If I have to replace the...

I love the BA series and have a 112 and 108 original series. The 112 is a kickback and the 108 is not. I also have a Micro VR w 2-2x10 matching cabs and a 1998 B100R (USA). Of all of these I like the sound of the BA-112 best. (I think a lot has to do with the 12" speaker which I prefer over...

If you're a professional or a teacher or anyone who makes a living playing bass don't bother reading this because it won't make a lot of sense to you. This is for the casual player who is learning and playing and loving the experience of playing the bass ... and possibly looking for opinions and...

Before I get started I want to state that I am not a pro. I played guitar and sang in bar bands all through the 70's and up until 2000 and then settled in at home to record and play for the sheer enjoyment of the creative experience. I'd venture to guess that the majority of people posting here...

Like many other bass players, I started out playing guitar for a little while (45 years) before picking up a bass. My first bass was a German Warwick 4 string fretless with an unlined neck. The bass, in my eyes, had a cool factor of 11 on a 10 scale. The three things I remember about that bass...
