    Essex(SX)

    I have read all the threads on here about how good SX is for the money. Yet there is a guy I subscribe to on youtube who says that Sx is trash. He says the bridges are not put on correctly, the nuts are miscut, and the electronics are wired wrong, etc, etc. I still want an sx jazz bass but don't...

    I have always used either Ernie Balls, GHS Boomers or D'addario. But I noticed that after a short time they go dull and shount lke garbage. I am looking for a good string that keeps that nice bright fresh out of the package sound longer than a few days. What do you recommend?

    Alec John Such

    I know he was fired form Bon Jovi. But what did he do that was so wrong? He seemed like a nice tight pocket player and some of his baselines were quite melodic, like the one from Livin on a prayer. I mean did he space out on stage and forget to play his parts or was he made a scape goat?

    Cases for pointy basses..

    I need a case for this. I really don't like coffin cases and I know that they fit in those. I just think that a bass case modeled after a cofin is kind of creepy. If coffin cases are the only thing that pointy basses will fit in then I will get one. But I am hoping that something else will work...

    Is this even possible?

    I have a zoom b21u and a zoom 607 pedal. I like some of the sounds on the b21u and some on the 607. Is it possible to connect them two together and run them both at the same time so I can use effects from both of them at the same time?

    Zoom 607

    I was given a zoom 607 bass pedal without the power cord. But I am using the one from mt b21u for the time being. I know nothing about it except that its obviously an older model. It seems similar to my b21u in the overall set up. I acutaully like the distortion better that the b21u distortion...

    Changing tastes over time

    I was playing my OLP stingray last night and I was thinking how my tastes have changed in basses since I began playing. I used to love Yamaha basses and have several of them.

    zoom b2.1u question

    I just recieved the zoom i bought from another TBer. Its great but I cant figure out how to run more than one effect at the same time. I want to run a wah and overdrive together.
