    USB interface for recording bass in Ableton Live?

    I play bass for a local band in Charlotte, NC, and on the side create my own music... Mostly electro/house/dub step-ish. I'd like to mix in a bass track occasionally, but the only interface I have is a Behringer Guitar Link, which sucks! What "affordable" USB interface would you recommend...

    More advanced RC-3 like loop station?

    I got an RC-3 pedal recently, and absolutely love it. However it's got me wanting more... In addition to bass, I'd like to loop in some keys, and maybe some more advanced drum samples. Combining more than one set of loops would be cool too. Know of a more advanced loop station? Something like a...

    Playing bass live without accompaniment

    After playing around overdubbing with my RC-3 and other effects, I got to thinking... My band only plays about once per month. I wonder if I could put together some covers, and play small gigs, coffeehouses, or whatever, without any accompaniment? Layer the bass, rhythm, and then play lead on...

    Balanced string recommendation for slap on a Warwick Thumb 4 string?

    I just bought a Pro Series Thumb bass, that came with DR Sunbeams 40-100. The strings feel great, super easy to slap on that bass. However the sound is too thin. The E string has no bottom at all. I want a set of strings with bold, low presence on the E and A, but a D and G that are still...

    How's this for portability?

    I've been on a portability kick while assembling my latest rig. I upgraded my Fender Jazz case for a hefty gig bag, with large pockets. Now I can fit everything... bass, amp, all cables into one gig bag with backpack straps. I have HyDrive 112 and 115 cabinets, so if I only bring the 112 then...

    Does anyone use Hartke HyDrive 112's?

    I have one that I love, but by itself it's not quite loud enough to play with my guitarist and drummer. So I have a 115 that I use. However I was thinking that two 112's would make a nice mini stack, that at 600W would be plenty loud. Thoughts? Does anyone have experience with HyDrive 112...

    Will this series connection work?

    I'm wondering if the following setup would help get the max power out of a GB Shuttle 9.2? Shuttle Amp is 500W @ 8ohm, 900W @ 4ohm 1 Hydrive 1x15 500W 8ohm 2 Hydrive 1x12 300W 8ohm OR 4ohm If I switched both 112's to 4ohm, could I safely run in parallel the 115 and a 112, and daisy chain...

    Closeup of Norwood Fisher

    When I was a kid Norwood Fisher was the guy who inspired me to play more than anyone else. His versatile blend of slap, rock, ska, etc together with Fishbone's high energy and unique style, blew me away. I saw them recently. They are much older than when I was a kid, but they've hardly lost...

    Rando Tribe Bassist Introduction

    Hello All! After playing pretty heavily from about 1995-2003, I had a couple kids and took a hiatus from playing. And actually had lost interest until an opportunity came up recently to start playing with an established band in Charlotte, NC called Rando Tribe. We do sort of a fusion of...

    The Pros seem to favor mixed cabs

    It seems like 90% if folks here advocate matching cabinets. I get the logic behind this. However whenever I look at some of my favorite bass players gear... i.e. Norwood Fisher, Victor Wooten, P-Nut, etc. they almost always seem to use mixed driver sizes. I'm probably just in denial because my...

    HyDrive 2x10 Cabinet

    I've seen pictures of retrofitted HyDrive 2x10 cabinets, probably made from a 4x10 or 5210c. Does anyone know of how I could get my hands on one? Or if not, what 2x10 cabinet would you recommend that's 450W or more, and comparable to a HyDrive?

    How to pair cabinets with uneven Watts?

    Here's my deal... I have the following gear that I hand picked primarily for portability: GB Shuttle 9: 500W @ 8ohm, 900W @ 4 ohm Hartke HyDrive 115: 500W @ 8 ohm Hartke HyDrive 112: 300W @ 8 or 4 ohm I'm a wimp when it comes to toting gear. So for quieter practices I can tote my bass, the...
