Looking at getting a newfangled lightweight cab for my doom project. I'm running 500 watts I'm not competing with guitars Looking for a single cab setup at 4 ohm (non modular) Will have pa support on larger gigs Want enough volume to peel paint when needed. Absolutely Under 100 lbs, but under...

Hey there Talkbass, longtime no see. As a (longtime?) Purely fretless player, I have long contemplated having just one freted bass for when that sound is needed. After much window-shopping I finally pulled the trigger on this bass. I found it on reverb for a reasonable price, and the...

Fellow TBers, I have a friend who likes to put forward thought experiments and such during our lunch break text conversations. Recently he inquired, " would you consider your bass a machine? " And frankly, I'm sort of stumped. I think from a technical stand point, a hammer is a simple machine...

Talkbass! I finished my warmoth today! Neck is a wenge/wenge fretless jazz w/abalone side dots Body is semi hollow swamp ash/ swamp ash. Transparent green with black binding. All black hardware, Gotoh bridge and tuners. Pickups are Seymour Duncan passive soapbars. Controls are v/v/t, with...

Hola TB! My warmoth body has arrived! And here is the neck: I already have a few bits of hardware, and need to order electronics and pickups. On inspection, I am concerned that the bridge I have doesn't line up with the screw holes in the body. Should I get a different bridge? Thanks for...

Hola Talkbass. I am building a Warmoth bass, and I think I have hammered out the control layout. Two humbuckers with series/parallel switch, V/V/T , passive clipping. Switching accomplished with push-pull volume knobs. Please point out any glaring errors.

Hey there TB! Working on a warmoth build, and I am debating over a Green burst or straight green finish for the bass body. Help me decide, with examples! for reference, this will be a Fretless PJ, with all black hardware, and likely a black pickguard. I already have the Wenge/Wenge Fretless...

Hey TB! would you all be so kind as to school me on the different classes of amps and what they mean? please feel free to post links to relevent threads. I'm just not finding what i'm searching for. I get that D class is more common now, more modern construction, but what is the difference...

HEY TB! my wonderful spouse has given me the go ahead to build a dream bass! This will be a warmoth build, and essentially the only detail I haven't been able to decide on is the color. transparent Turquoise or transparent green? If any of you have basses this color, especially the Warmoth...

So over my weekend I repainted my cheap old defretted peavey. Peavey zodiac ex, cheap old bass that comes in a box with an amp, you know the type. It was my first bass. After having it for ~7 years I defretted the bass in '14. Before that, it was a barely playable monstrosity of a bass. No...

Talkbass! My wonderful wife gave the green light, so I am now the proud owner of a blue squier j bass! No personal photos yet, but i found one online: So, I'm a bit of an iconoclast, so Fender's "industry standard" designation has been enough to keep me from owning one for my bass playing life...

My bass' set neck is seperating from the body. There has always been a visible seam along the neck/body joint, but I recently noticed it has become another mm or so more pronounced. The odd thing is, I feel no gap between the pieces, as if the clear coat is not cracked through. The bass took a...

Hey TB! I intended to make this post sooner, but I have taken more time to get to know the pedal. TC FLASHBACK MINI. So, I love delay. I have an original DM2 that is my most prized pedal by far. Very very much analog, and in many ways it is a metric against which other analog delays are...

as the title states, a friend out of state has had a bass stolen, and then resold. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Any Austin Area bass players purchase this? sorry if this is the wrong subforum

Would using a copper plate for a rear mounted control cavity cover be a bad idea? Would there be a grounding issue, or would I shock myself? Thanks !

Title says it all really. In lieu of the proper tool for the job, what other ways of radiusing would you / have you used; to what effect? Example Steve Wyn (I think?) uses a beltsander and hangs a neck over it in a sort of swing, with one end of the neck rotating at 15" and the other at say...

TBers! My 15 year old brother has informed me that there is now a way to express sarcasm in text! you now add a Shwa (sp?) ` in front of and behind ` sarcastic statements. For example, "Oh yes that will `really aid productivity`." "Come back! I `really want to be`your` friend`." or the...

I'M DOING IT! I'm jumping in headfirst, etc. I have been thinking of building my own bass for almost as long as I have been playing. I majored in fine arts, and though I have done very little wood working, I do carve stone, and thus have a lot of chisels, files, rasps and what not. My...

TBrs! My wife bought me an amp for my birthday! Couple months early, but I'm not complaining.

This one is a bit of a story. So, while out with the wifey to get her computer looked at, we stopped at one of my preferred local music stores. While I was not intending to make a purchase, I was scoping out potential buys for sure, as she was checking out the Ukeleles. I have been with out a...

Could someone explain this schematic to me? By which i mean, how would one incorporate this circuit into a pedal? Where is the voltage, where is the ground? I'm just beginning my foray into electronics, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

Would love to know what kind of pup this is, and by extension, what sort of output it has. I have added a 9v for scale. Thanks folks!

My main bass has had a spare space for a potentiometer or switch for as long as it has been in my possession. The previous owner had it both defretted and had the switchable dualcoil pup replaced with some unknown Emg. With the switch gone, the space was filled with some sort of ikea screw hole...

Currently I have a Digitech bass synth wah, a Boss DM-2, Enigma Q, Fab flange and a Behringer overdrive distortion. The flange and OD are both attempts at "testing out" some effects with a cheap unit. the od sounds very harsh and effects the dry signal, and, you know, Behringer hate and what...

The Volume pot of my Peavey zodiac Ex is broken. I've heard it said this is a simple fix, but how do I Find the proper replacement pot? Further, is this something I should do myself? Or should I leave this to a professional?

So, after scanning over defretting threads for a few years now, I finally decided to take the plunge and defret a bass. I had a Peavey Zodiac EX, a cheap bass that comes in a kit with a little practice amp, and this was the instrument I learned to play on, but it has always been incredibly...

So, I love my mark 4, but every TB post I see says it needs the footswitch to really shine. My question is this: As both channels have their own pre and post controls, couldn't I select a channel merely by turning OFF the other, or Am I misunderstanding this? in other words, is ( channel B...

so a vintage boss Dm-2 made it's way into my possession, and initially, it sounded killer on guitar and absolutely anemic on bass. one day i dropped it down the stairs while juggling a handful of pedals. Now the Dm2 sounds absolutly killer on bass, but there are definate differences. repeat...

so the used Eden d410t arrived today, and now my GASing for an amp head is even more intolerable. I'm looking at the ampeg PF 500 or the carvin bx 500, both for wattage and budget purposes. the problem is, I have no real amp savvy, :hiding: and no good stores nearby with acceptable...

im looking at running a GK MB200 ultralight through an eden D410T thoughts?

hey there! this is my first post, been lurking around here a while... I am in the market for a new amp, my little peavy max 126 has run its course. My problem is this- i'm looking for an amp that can play along side a medium sized band forpractice and maybe small gigs, i would like to spend...
