    CARVIN MS215M---Farty Party

    So the title suggests, I have an old Carvin MS215M cab, and I'd like to upgrade the speakers. I understand there's a WORLD of thought put into doing so, but I am a humble simpleton. In short, the cab is super bright, and when pushed, it'll get a little farty. So, I'd like to up the power...

    EHX Mono Synth Volume Problem

    Alright kids, I've scoured the Internet but haven't been able to find any issues regarding volume of this pedal. I love the sounds. Even the tracking is great, but there is a VERY noticable volume dip once engaged. Am I stuck looking for a booster to use with this pedal?

    Another Pbass MM thread

    I'm finally going for it. I got on guitarfetish and ordered an MM pickup and a mint green pickguard blank. Transitioning from the typical split p setup to full on MM style. Most certainly going for a series/parallel switch. If it feels too thin, I'll reinstall the p style and keep the new mod...

    Ernie Ball Casters FTW

    Just so everyone knows... Ernie Ball Casters fit SVT cabs seamlessly. My SVT15E cabs can roll with ease, once again.

    Been a while...

    I've been radio silent for a long time, being that I'm normally behind the drums, but here I am! Back and ready to shake some walls with my latest purchase (still on the way) An Orange Little Bass Thing will be sitting atop (2) SVT15E cabs. Playing with a Frankenstein passive PB. Has anyone...

    HENRY!!

    Just a public service announcement that GC has a total of FIVE used SWR Henry 8x8's in stock. I'm not affiliated with GC, but love those cab and know that a lot of fellow TB'ers do too!!! ~Al

    One amp, two purposes?

    I'm sure it's been covered, but here we go... I have a Crown xti2000 and want to use one side of it to run some old LDS pa subs, and use the other side for my 215 cab. I know it has all the dsp functionality, but just want to get some advise as to whether this is too much for the little fella...

    Battalion distorting?

    So, I bought an EHX Battalion and found that as soon as I engage the preamp, my bass signal is stronger. Yes, it's active, but I have the 10db pad engaged and all of my levels are at noon. I've tried different batteries, different basses with passive pickups, different amps, different power...

    Peavey Max 115 v2 replacement driver question

    Hey folks, been a while. I picked up a Peavey Max 115 v2 on the cheap from GC, but as it turns out, the driver is effed. I have access to an Eminence Delta 15a to put in at a good price, but want to get some opinions on if it would be a good fit. I'm not into super low, wubby bass, if that...

    UL + PS Cabs. Can I combine?

    Greetings all! It's been a while, but I have a quick question. I own at 1st generation Epifani UL 310 cab, which I LOVE, but I need to push more air. I have an opportunity to snag a PS 210 cab for relatively cheap. So my question is, do any of you smarty pants wearing folks see any issues...

    NCD (New Cymbals Day!)....yup

    Drums are still my first instrument, and surprisingly, I haven't been fired yet. But yeah, I just received my new set of Sabian HHX Legacy cymbals and couldn't be happier. 15" hats, 19" crash, and 22" ride. They're smooth, light, and always sit well in the mix. Not glassy and harsh...

    Distorted (the bad kind) signal when using M80 d.i.

    As the title says, if I'm using my MXR M80 at the end of my signal chain as a DI, I get a harsh distortion; to the point where I need to dial back my volume quite a bit to keep it under control. I've tried eliminating the other pedals, thinking it may just be the signal is too hot by the time...

    BEAD--Another Adventure...

    Yup, I'm taking the plunge! Just ordered a set of 5-string Regular Slinkys. I've read about it enough, and I love the feel of my Pbass 4 string, but need the lower extension for all the B-string work that modern country seems to have nowadays. The nut was fit with some larger flat-wounds...

    Taking the DIRECT plunge

    That's right. I'm leaving the cab at home. Even the amp, for that matter. I purchased a dedicated powered subwoofer with internal DSP to bring on gigs where the PA doesn't have any low end. I'll be plugging into my Donner Tuner Pedal--->Boss LMB3--->MXR M80D.I. I'm hoping it follows the...

    Has anyone stacked the Hartke 112B?

    Yes, I know it's only available in a 4 ohm configuration. I'm lucky enough to have a 2 ohm stable and/or bi amped head. So, I'm just looking to see if anyone has experience with a stack of these bad-boys in a live setting. Nothing huge, of course; just a medium size rock/bar venue. I love...

    Got hard rock sound covered, now what about modern country?

    My question being, now that I have everything set for my probably-too-loud hard rock cover band, I need to dig up a smaller and rounder sounding cab for a modern country group I'm helping to form. But what??? I mention my SWR Henry 8x8 every time I make a post, so I'm sorry for that, but I...

    Using Parametric EQ as a Poor Man's HPF?

    Need some advice... My BX1500 is a wonderful new addition, and I have the idea in my head. If I use the "low mid" control, when set to 50hz, and roll it completely off, could that possibly do the trick as an "on-board HPF"? Or am I still better off finding a Broughton and just leaving it at...

    NAD! Carvin Content...

    Woohoo! It's not new, but it may as well be. A recently serviced, and awesomely shape-able Carvin BX1500! Haven't had a chance to let it sing through the Henry yet, but I'm sure it will do great things. Nice, clear, articulate, uncolored tone! The seller was local, and I made sure to ask...

    This sound comes from a 112 combo?! (Ampeg Content)

    So I inherited a BA112, and thought, "nice, I finally have a decent practice amp to keep at home" I plugged that bad boy in and dialed a tone that made me wish my live rig could sound that awesome. Yes, it's in a smaller space, with better acoustics, but dayum! I suppose my mind is made up...

    Kind of torn on what to do...

    So, I've mentioned it in other treads, I recently acquired a Warmoth Precision. It belonged to my good friend who has passed and his mother gave it to me. He was all about modifications. Never keeping something the same for very long. That all being said, I'm seeking opinions. Should I keep...

    Minor setup advice.

    Good morning fellow TB'ers I've slowly accrued a respectable setup, but the itch is back and am looking for general opinions on what you think might be missing from the rig. I have my new favorite P-bass, so there's no challenging that with something different. The rig is as follows...

    Bass Terror with Henry 8x8?

    Been toying with this idea. I had originally been planning on a Magellan 800 but it seems like too much going on. I've always heard that SWR works best with SWR, but I would rather have the warranty and modern build. The Orange seems to be pretty simple. Kind of an "everything you need, and...

    Another friend/bandmate slipping away

    I'm just venting since I'm at work and don't have contact with any friends at the moment. One of my biggest musical inspirations and friend is suffering from catastrophic liver and kidney failure. He has been sick for a while, but just this weekend, he's flatlined 5 times and isn't improving...

    Future jam cave....with a lotta work

    So, I picked up a 12 foot travel trailer from a bandmate and plan to gut it and furnish it to facilitate practice and chill hangouts. It's a '75 Empire. Figured I'd take some before pics. It's going to be a ton of work, but all the electrical and LP is fully functional! And hey, if it can...

    One pedal turns another one on/off

    I use a cheap Donner chromatic tuner pedal, and it works pretty well. However, any time I engage/disengage the tuner pedal, it automatically engages/disengages my Boss LMB-3. My head does not have a tuner out, so its just not an option. I've tried it in different orders but it always ends up...

    Footswitch....For a Footswitch??

    Little dilemma... My pedal setup is as follows: Instrument into Donner Tuner pedal, Into an MXR M80 DI+ Preamp, Into a Boss LMB-3 Limiter/Enhancer, to the amp. I'd like to keep everything together in a homemade setup on top of the cab, but I still need to control the distortion portion of the...

    String gauge/tension advice PLEASE

    G'mornin' fellas... So I love the gauge/feel of the stock strings on my VM Jazz, but the tension, or lack thereof, causes them to bounce all over. What can you guys recommend for a light-to-medium tension string that will still hold a proper tension for the occasional mashing/drop D-ing? I...

    So Close!!!! (NBD)

    So, its not completely finished yet, but its up and running enough to play! So I'm going to give it a crash course at a 4th of July party tomorrow. I'll still make sure to have a backup, but I'm just jazzed to finally have this badboy in playing condition! …#neckdivefordays

    First gig with new band (and first playing bass in over 10 years)

    So! My band is playing a private party tonight. That doesn't sound like much to most folks, but I'm a drummer first, bassist second, and I'm getting STOKED. This band puts on a big production with lots of lights and smoke, and I'm finally able to walk about and interact with the crowd instead...

    NPD--Boss and MXR Content

    Good news everyone! ….I love Futurama I just received my new MXR M-80 DI pedal AND Boss LMB-3 Soooooper stoked to make (better) noise with these bad boys. Anyone else using either of these? I'd love to hear/read your thoughts on them, as well as your preferred settings.

    NCD (SWR Content)

    Greetings folks. I had posted in an SWR fan thread about finding out how old my new (old) Henry 8X8 cab is, but to no avail. SN: 0765, Obvious pre-fender. Pics will follow, but for now I can tell you, its the old chicken-wire grill. No chrome. All speakers look original. I haven't taken...

    New (Used) Bass shipped!

    Just ordered a mid nineties Ibanez TR500 from GC. Looks great and have heard nothing by good things about them. Love the factory option to bypass the active preamp. Been searching for a bass with that option that still suited my needs. Also have a mid nineties SWR Henry 8x8 on the way. Now...

    Cab choices...glutton for punishment

    So! I'm currently torturing a pair of very inexpensive, MDF cabs that are incredible inefficient. So I'm looking to upgrade (used) My choices as of late, and please feel free to ridicule me on how they may not have much in common, are an SWR Henry 8X8 (First run), and an Epifani UL310 (not...

    NBD w/bonus amp!

    So, I found a sweet little gem on CL and was able to swap an old bass drum I don't use anymore for it, and as it turns out, it came with an amp too! Meet my latest addition... Early model VM Jazz and a matching Rumble 60. I, like many others, was very skeptical about the VM and CV series...

    Is this a dumb idea?

    *Pulls tab on can of worms and throws* So, I own a TC Electronic BQ500 ($249) head and a Hartke 112B ($299) cabinet. I enjoy them. The small package, the sound, the price, all of it....except for the volume restriction, which is to be expected at this price level. I can't just pick up...

    Craigslist Gem

    In case anyone is interested, I found a LH500 this morning for $150 on the Syracuse Craigslist. I don't need it, but figured I'd spread the word. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
