Hi everyone, I'm thinking of changing the tuners on my SX FPB 60. I think it's one of the first models made, with a Fender-style headstock. Do you have any particular recommendations? I don't want to spend too much on a bass in this price range, but I'd like something that works well, corrects...

Hello! I'm considering buying a small head, the one I mainly use is a Peavey Minimax 600, which I love, it sounds great and has lots of power. The only thing is that sometimes I have some gigs where I have to play at a fairly low volume, and I have a hard time getting a sound that I like in...

Hi, I'm looking for a mid-priced workhorse passive jazz bass. These are my main options. Which one would you preffer? What I'm looking for: the most playable or comfortable, something that cuts nice in the mix (rock 60's to 80's style), clarity, attack, and not too weighty if possible. I like a...

Hi, I'm thinking about buying one of this cabs, for using as a small equipment for smaller or low volume gigs. For this reason it is not necessary that they can get really loud, but it's good to know which one can work better in case I could get in a situation that I need more volume. And of...

Anybody has seen this before? It's a MIJ Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass

Hi, would you think it's good idea to replace the original pickups of a Fender Marcus Miller MIJ with Dimarzio Model J's? I just find the sound a little "weak" in passive mode (and not very natural in active). Another reason is getting rid of any hum, as the Dimarzios are noiseless. Any cons...

Hi! I want to try a preamp pedal on a combo I have, but my combo doen't have a preamp input and I don't want to go through the combo's preamp. My combo has a Aux in input, with the volume controlled by the Master knob. Can I use it in for that matter? Is it safe? If so, which output from the...

Hi, I'm thinking about replacing the original bridge on my SX FPB57 bass by a Fender Hi Mass bridge IV brass. Do you recommend that? Will I notice an improvement? Anyone knows if I would need to make more screw holes or can I just use the existing ones? Thank you!

Hi, I need some help, I have an SX Pbass wich sounds really good at rehearsals and on stage, but sometimes I feel it lacks some presence and definition on the low notes. Once again, it only happens sometimes, not sure why... Some time ago I reaplaced the pickup with a Dimarzio Model P, the tone...

Hello! The Contour pot of my old Fender Bassman 250 is broken, could somebody tell me how can I find out the exact model that I need to order for replacement? I appreciate any help given, thank you!

Hi, I have noticed some noise on my brand new Fender Rumble 500 Combo. Everytime I use the Aux-in I hear some buzzing. It's just strange, as I connect the minijack cable (it feels different than the phones input and need to be pushed harder) the noise starts. The thing is that buzzing disappears...

Hello, I need a new amp, to be used only at gigs, choosing between a TC Electronic BH550 + K212 or a Fender Rumble 500 Combo. I know they sound quite different, but I'm sure I like both of them from what I've tried/listened/read. I have also readen about the specs. So, most important for me is...

Hi, in the last days I have noticed that my GK MBE212 4ohm cab is making some buzz when the amp head is past half volume, on the low notes. I checked and it seems that the noise is coming for one of the speakers, so I think it needs to be replaced. It seems that the original speaker GK...

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new head, at this moment I'd like a TC BH550. I would like to know if it can be safe to use it with a 115 250w 4ohm cab that I have from a combo that I currently have in one of the rehearsal rooms (I have another cab, more powerful, but I want to keep it for...

Hello again, folks, Waiting for my bass cabinet, having ordered it recently, I was having a look to the website, and downloaded the user manual, just to be sure that I know everything I need, but I saw something that got me confused. Before reading it, I thought that the connections at right...

I'm buying soon a 112 cabinet, I will use it with a 250w @ 8ohm little head I have, most of the times on little gigs at pubs, but I need to be sure that I will have enough volume and deep tones, also very important, it has to be something small and easy to transport. My budget is around 350€...

Hi everybody, I'm currently using a Harley Benton BA5110C combo (remember that "promethean clone"...) for most of the gigs I do, and I'm thinking about buying a 112 cab and using it with the head of the combo, you know it's detachable. Do you guys think I would find a noticeable difference if I...
