Hi everyone! This thread I made is dedicated to our own personal possessions, something we all cherish more than just about most things.... Our basses! Now obviously, as important as our instruments are to us, there's no denying that when it comes to our "sound", we must factor in all...

Hi all, I've always been a big fan of Tool, and being a fan of their sound bass wise, I tried to model my rig after them to a degree to get a similar punchy sound through the mix, something their bassist(s) has always been able to do well compared to a lot of bands I've heard. Awhile back...

Hi all, about a year and a half ago I bought a SBMM 'Ray 34 bass after upgrading from my old Peavey T-40 (a great bass, but it was too heavy to gig with) but just the other day I noticed my local Guitar Center has one vintage Ovation Magnum, a bass I always dreamed of owning and it was sitting...

Need I say more?

Simple question, I'm sure it's been asked alot before, but I couldn't find any recent discussions on this. Which bassist sounded better for the band TOOL? Now when I say best, I don't just mean the stuff they write. I mean which bassist had the better tone, and which one overall meshed better...

Hi, I've owned this amp for a few months now until I noticed a rattling occuring inside the amp. One day my amp didn't even turn on despite all the power supplies I tried using and my pedalboard always showed a signal so I knew something was wrong right away. So I unscrewed the back compartment...

I don't get why so many people on here hate on 3 band 'Rays compared to the 2 band ones. I don't own an actual 'Ray, but mines a 3 band EQ and I think it sounds great! Sounds good with slap, funk, hard rock, and anything in between. I'm not really a slap player myself, but I use my Ray 34 (SBMM)...

Hi everyone, right now I'm trying to record myself covering a song with my Sansamp Bass DI through my AudioBox USB with a XLR cable and a USB cord that is connected to my Mac from the AudioBox. I can hear myself and the song just fine through the headphones, bass signal sounds good but when I...

Hi, I just recently bought a swr workingman 10 bass amp (100 watt) from this guy off craigslist and when I turn the volume up just past half way the low notes sound all muffled like the sound a blown speaker would make. The rest of the strings sound fine it's just when I go to drop D tuning or...

Hi, so I'm really trying to get my bass setup with garageband on my macbook pro, but the thing is whenever I try to plug in to the computer from my bass (using a modified amp cable with 1/4' jack on one end and a 1/8' on the other) I'm just not getting any sound. And when I say there's no sound...

They're coming out next month according to this forum's thread [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I find it rather impressive they are able to make what has always been regarded as a "higher end bass" now affordable for just about anyone saving up for a starter bass. If only this happened...

Okay, so I'm sure there are countless topics regarding "who influenced you as a Bassist", but what I'm here to ask is which bassists had influence on the tone of your instrument (and sorry if that one's been asked frequently too)? Playing style/method can be completely unrelated, it's just about...

Hi, I just found out about the SBMM's new line up of basses this year and I guess now they have a classic version of the Ray34 (captioned Ray34ca). I just bought a Ray34 back in like november so they didn't have these around then (atleast I didn't get wind of it until just now and I was doing a...

Hey all, so I'm just getting into effects and I'm trying to figure out if I should start with using the highly popular BF-3 or if I should stick with the CEB-3 chorus built specifically for the bass. I was thinking of starting with the flanger, just because I know I can get it for cheaper than...

Can you tell me how they compare to the Musicman Stingray (in particular the ones with the big "O" models)? I'm really trying to go for the hard, edgy tone like in the band Tool during the pre-post Aenima tour (listen to the song Forty Six & 2 and you should get the idea). I've been hearing alot...
