Hi TB, so I have this used driver I got as a gift almost a year ago, and as I finally ordered a table saw for my hobby woodworking workshop, I decided either to build n cab around it or to sell it. The speaker is big and heavy ad from specs it should be a monster but it is a subwoofer so not a...

Hi TB, After 7 years of using exclusively Elixir SS's, DR lo rider steels and (occasionally) hi beams and dragon skins, I came to a conclusion that I wasn't 100% happy with any of them. DRs are great A-G but B is floppy after 4th fret on my Lakland 55-01. Elixirs last forever but punch just...

Hi TB, I have a little hard time deciding on buying a new cab. At the moment I use 410 placed on the floor and all it makes is a big noise on the stage. I always play with PA support so need a small cab that will provide good bass monitoring for me, the guitar player and partly for our drummer...

Hi TB, I'm in a search for a parametric EQ I'll be using on a live gigs. I play in all kind of wedding venues, mostly terrible for sound mixing, and often have issues with boomy sounds, so wanna try to deal with this with a parametric eq. I narrowed my choice to the two devices from the title...

Hi TB, I'm thinking about getting a high class or high end pedal size DI box, and wondering is there really any noticeable difference between JDV MK3 and twice cheaper but still high class DI's like J48 or Countryman? Money isn't a issue if it's justified spending...I got few offers for JDV at...

Hi and happy 2016.! Will try to explain this best I can with my poor English. I play in a cover band, pop, pop rock, funk - music for fancy parties, everyone in the band are at least very good musicians, with feel for dynamics and groove. We play parties for 100-400 guests, mostly clubs...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a BYOC paraeq kit, but can not find much about it. Any experience with using it with bass in live situation? Is it comparable to a Empress paraeq at all? thanks!

Hi, recently I bought Diamond and MXR M87 compressor pedals, but need little help with finding proper settings as these are my first compressors. I use Diamond for fingerstyle, with a tiny bit of compression and EQ bypassed, and I plan to use M87 for slapping. My slapping technique is fine...

Hi TB, I bought Hartke 3500 mosfet and and will test it at gig next weekend. The issue is, my rig is stored in a warehouse 50 miles away and I can not hook it up and test. So I'm wondering, what is a best way to connect everything together? I play active bass, going into Diamond compressor...

Hi TB, so I just bought a used mosfet 3500, pretty happy with sound, but I've heard and read that putting a modern quality tube opens the sound and gives it a whole new point. I've never been much into a tube stuff, so I need some help with a new valve choice. I'm more into a modern...

Hi, here's a deal...I ordered Avalon U5 today to use it as a DI for live and occasional recording in my main rig. I really just wanted to buy a J48 Di box, but knew NAD (new Avalon day) would come either way, as I am a huge fan of Class A solid state amps and preamps, so pulled the trigger. I...

Hi TB, can you please recommend me a clear, high quality booster pedal to drive a PA power amp. I need at least 25dB; 30dB or more would be optimal. I have a pedal preamp but it has no juice enough to drive a power amp. Don't wanna buy a new pedal preamp as I really like the EQ and the way this...

Hallo TB, I just bought two Faital 15PR400 speakers, found them dirty cheap on sale in local store an just couldn't resist. they are 4 ohm but I can exchange them for 8 ohm. My plan is to build two single/simple 15" cabs as I play in two bands. Unfortunately, I can not find any plans or...

Hi TB, does anybody know how to get a bass sound from Whitney's songs? I'm a big fan Whitney, but don't have any experience with effects. It is probably synthesizer/keyboard sound, but I'd like to have it with classic effects. I play 55-01 w fat stacks + Sad preamp, great sound and lot of...

Hi, I'm looking to replace the bridge pickup from my P/J with some humcanceling pickup. It is a Fralin set with +5% bridge, sounds nice but I can't get used to a single coil hum. I'm not looking for a specific sound as this is my rehearsal bass, but I would like levels from both pickups to be...

Hi, did anyone tried to pair Nordstrand Dual coil pickup on bridge and fat stack (or big single) on neck position? Thing is, I owned DC5 set and haven't liked overall sound at all, but bridge pickup was great. Now I have Fat stacks and like them a lot in single coil mode, they are full and rich...

Hi, recently I built a passive DI box with Cinemag DI transformer, but there is one thing I'm not sure about...I have input of DI box simply wired parallel to output (thru), so basically same signal is goes to DI transformer and bass amp both in live and when recording (miking the amp). is this...

Hi TB, I'm in search of an affordable lightweight (under 8,5lb) 5 stringer for giging, as my back can not hold my heavy Ibanez btb any more. I have Nordstrand pups and East J retro and U retro preamps, so electronics isn't issue, but all lightweight basses have narrow string spacing (Ibanez SR...

Hi TB:) year ago I bought pair of 3012HOs which were intended for a simple and light 12" boxes, but found kappalite's are somewhat weak in low end so put them for a sale now. I got a trade offer for two new 2512II's, but don't know what to except from these as standalone speakers in 112" or...

Hi TB! Currently I have cheap Ibanez btb405 which s***s big time, I tried with nordies, Barts, Delanos and all kind of preamps, but it's made of some cheapo soft wood, + has strange pickup positions, and no sound from it plugged neither unplugged. It sounds totally dead and unbalanced:spit...

Hi TB, I just bought Delano SBC driver pickups, and can not find info what is they are made for series or parallel default wiring. I would like to have single coil and one humbucker option, as I don't have dpdt on-on-on switches, but not quite sure what option to choose. thanks!

Hallo folks:) Recently I upgraded my bass with Delano large pole pickups, and now I'm little concerned about rust. I live near sea, pretty windy here also, means lot of salt and moisture which caused my pups getting rusted easy in the past. Now I mostly use covered pickups, but these are very...

Hi, I have Delano JC5HE/OBP2 combination and output level is absolutely same in active and passive mode, + it's pretty low, is this unusual?:hmm: I know Delanos are somewhat lower output, but not sure if Aggie pre should add some volume boost. it's wired 18V on my Squier CV jazz with stock pups...

Hi, I have a question about wiring active Basslines Ajj-1 pups with Aguilar OBP-2 preamp. as I don't think there is space for two 9V batteries in Squier CV jazz cavity, can I power pickups and preamp with same battery? and will this drain battery too fast? thanks!

Hi, I'm going to upgrade pickups on my CV jazz bass, and decided to go with Barts, as all other are too expensive. Now, I'm pretty lost with all their series, so need some help. I will use them with J retro preamp, and sound I'm looking is modern, even response, and good slap sound is very...

Hi, I'm looking to put some nice pearloid pickguard on my CV jazz bass, perhaps white or grey, but original ones cost $60 + shipping in Europe:crying: are there any cheaper quality replacements, perhaps ebay or some parts store? ps, I'm not sure about the size, is CV pickguard similar as...

Hi everyone, I'm about to start playing bass in jazz bend, we well play standards, and I'm wondering is there any book suitable for beginners in jazz?:) I need only bass walking lines, don't really look to learn all the jazz theory. It would be nice if book could be bought as e-book with...

Hi TB, I have DC5s wired in series, and would like to have single coil option. Is it possible to manage this with two simple on-on switches (6 pin)? these are the only I have. Single coils: black + white (B), green + red (N), bare = GND Series: Black = Hot, bare + green=Gnd, red + white...

Hi, I just bought two kappalite 3012HOs, and plan is to build two boxes in Epifani UL112 style, which means simple two way vented enclosure, 2 cu. ft. net. Idea was not to use twitter but some mid-high which will do spectrum from ~1,5 to 6-7KHz. I don't really see need for 10Khz or higher for...
