So there are some users here who seem to think that their sole purpose in life is to hate people who play with a pick. I play with both fingers and a pick because I'm new to bass and I can't get much speed without a pick yet. Now before anyone says, "YOU'RE NOT A REAL BASSIST, YOU PLAY WITH A...

I've heard bad and good things about Yorkville amps, but nothing about their bass cabs. I looked at their website and found nothing. Anyone have experience with their 4x10s? Can they take a B string and still sound tight and punchy? Seeing as they're no longer on yorkville's website, how much...

Alright, so I am quite the grammar Nazi, I hate misspellings, misused apostrophes, improper word forms and such, and I would just like to let you guys know that the plural (more than one) form of the word bass is basses. Not bass', not not bass's, not basss; basses. Forgive my trolling, but...

Alright, so, thanks to bassmanPaul, I now possess a Peavey Mark VI bass amp... and I have no idea what the following knobs/buttons do. Help! -companded chorus knobs -pre-gain (I'm not sure what it does in relation to post-gain, which seems to just make it louder) -Shelving knobs, x2...

Anyone know anything about these? They're priced great, but I haven't heard any reviews or testimonies other than on their site... anyone here know about they? Played or owned one? I'm thinking I might just pick up one of these... I might grab me this one- [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]...

I'm curious about what fuzz/overdrive pedal the band Underoath used for the track Illuminator. You can find a legit bass-only track on YouTube, and I love the sound and fuzz that the pedal puts out... I just don't know what pedal it is. Has anybody asked their bassist? Does anyone know their...

...I don't know if I can play anything different. That thing played like a dream... if I had $1,000, I'd pick one up. but I don't. :bawl: Such an amazing player right there. Anyway, my question is... what do the peavey budget basses play/sound like? I don't expect them to be anything like this...

I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong thread, you may move it. Alright, so my brother and I were contemplating something. We're both decent at making wood and electronic things, so... instead of buying a $400 bass cab, why not just get $200 worth of subwoofers (or even...

I have an Ibanez GSR200 with two pickups and a preamp- now, everyone I've talked to have said I should be able to play it without a battery in as long as I keep the preamp knob turned all the way down. It doesn't work. the bass doesn't make a sound when the battery's out. Just curious.

I'm not sure how many other people on this forum have hypermobility, but I do. It sucks- hypermobility is a hereditary disease of the joints, and it feels a lot like arthritis. I have shallow sockets and weak wrists and ankles. I get dislocations easily, and because my wrists are so messed up, I...

Volume and lows is what I need... The title states my exact question. I'm looking at a used Fender 215 and a used Ampeg 410. The Ampeg is $400 in good condition, not sure how much the Fender will be though, in good condition. Basically, I'm looking for one step above a practice amp...

Alright... so currently what I do for covering stuff is I go bass/amp/Blue Snowball USB mic/computer/audacity. I play the track in Audacity, and play along top it, micing my amp. Any recommendations as to how to get better sound? I compress the bass track before saving the tracks in Audacity...

Alright, so I'm looking for an amp to play small shows, like bars, basements, small venues, etc. Places that would hold 200 people at the most. Anyway, I'm looking for an amp that will sound decent --especially on the really low end-- (I.E. drop-B) be loud, and, most important... not kill my...

Alright, so Oh, Sleeper is one of my favorite heavy bands, but I'm new to bass, and they're not super popular, so playing by ear AND finding bass tabs is hard for me. Anybody else here like them? Tabbed them? Children Of Fire, their newest release, is awesome. I'd love anyone who could tab or...

Hey guys, so I'm going to be buying either an amp or a head/cab because I'm sick of borrowing amps from friends and finally want my own. I'm not in a band yet, but when I am, it'll be metalcore/hardcore and I may also be playing worship at my church (Yes, metalheads play worship, too.... :P )...

K so as of now I have an Ibanez GSR200 and a P-bass copy (which is in repair... :mad: ). I'm thinking... for Christmas I might ask my parents to help me buy a Fleabass as a present, I just want to know what YOUR experiences with Fleabasses are (I.E. how are the frets? Is it easy to slide on the...

Hey guy and girls, this is my first post here, so please don't hate. :scowl: <-- to the haters. K, so I'm just gonna jump straight to it and ask where can I order really heavy coated strings for playing Drop-C? You see, I sweat a bunch while I'm playing :hmm: , so I'm all for coated strings...
