Hey! I'm looking to know what the wattage is of a Traynor 2x15 from the 70s. The model is G2-150. Can't find much online but I'm sure someone here will know! Original speakers are inside.

Hey, ya'll. I know these types of posts can be rather tiresome, but bear with me. Anyways, I've finally got an old Marshall VBA-400 I have cleaned up and fixed so she's ready to go. I jammed a little through my Mesa Boogie 2x15 Diesel and while the sound was good, I couldn't go very loud before...

Hey, folks! As I'm finishing up my schooling, I've been thinking a lot about the future. My plans so far are to either go into the police force or the military (but I know things can change). Though I plan to get an education beforehand. Either way, both of these careers are fairly strict and...

Hey! I have a Mesa/Boogie Bass 400. It is an earlier model and does not have 2 ohm taps. Only 4 and 8, three of each. I've heard of some people running the 400 at 2 ohms despite the lack of 2 ohm taps. I'm just curious to hear if anyone has done this. Results? Sound? If it has worked, how would...

Hello! Some of you may have seen my previous thread where I was searching for a amp to provide me with lots of volume and vintage fattiness and warmth. Currently, my two choices are listed above. Anyone who's knowledgeable on one or both, I'd greatly appreciate your input. Again, those are...

Hey, folks. I kind of have an odd request today. Lately I've been playing my brothers acoustic guitar a lot. Either finger picking (guitar style), playing it fingerstyle like a bass, or using a pick. Just messing around basically. However, I quite love the feel and sound you get from an acoustic...

Hey! I know this is my second thread in a very short span, but I thought I needed a more accurate request. So here it is: I need a head that will deliver devastating volume, with vintage fat and warmth. Solid state/tube/hyrbid. Doesn't matter as long as it has some good warmth to it. My band has...

Hey there! My buddy is getting out of the music scene and unloading his stuff. He has his JCM 800 Lead Series head from 1984 for sale. Pretty cheap too since we live out in the country. Now, before you guys crucify me, I did a search of the other threads about the JCM's potential as a bass amp...

Hey, folks. So as a little hobby this summer, I have decided I want to create a rig in the vein of Steve Harris' setup. Mostly because he is who inspired me to pick up the bass AND I love his tone. I'm not looking for authenticity as that would be impossible, just something inspired by his...

Hey, folks! Well, I've been playing around with my M/B Bass 400 head for awhile now and I must say, I can't get a tone I really enjoy out of it. To me, it seems much too tinny and farty sounding. It just seems to lack balls. I think one of the speakers on my Diesel 2x15 may be less than up to...

Hey, folks. I'm looking for a cab which I can run both my SUNN Concert Lead and Slave through. Therefore, the cab will need to have the 'split' feature so each head can run half the cab. My initial thought was just an Ampeg 8x10 but thought I'd look for other options too. I know Traynor 4x12's...

Hey, all. I mentioned this in a previous post, but am a little fuzzy on the details. So I picked up a silver face SUNN Concert Slave as an addition to my red knob SUNN Concert Lead. I love the sound of the Lead, but as you can probably guess I want more power. While I'm assuming I need to have...

One of Canada's proudest moments was no doubt during the liberation of the Netherlands from the hands of the Nazis. Not only for Canada, but for the allies as a whole. I wanted to share this special anniversary, especially as a Canadian and as a descendant of various Canadian soldiers. While the...

Hey, all. I'm just looking into getting an Ampeg V4B. However, I'm trying to decide between getting a new model or picking up an older vintage one (76-79). I play noisy, punk influenced black metal mainly. Or in otherwords, traditional black metal. I don't expect most here to know what that...

Hey! Just posting this as I've been thinking of picking up an old Traynor YBA-3. I'd love to know a little more about them before I buy. Seeing as I can't afford a vintage SVT, I figured I'd go for its Canadian counterpart, as you can pick them up relatively cheap. Firstly, whats the big...

Hey! Just curious as to what people would recommend for pickups in my Ric 4001. I wouldn't mind trying some non-stock ones just to see what their like. I think I'd like to retain the Ric's core sound, but am open to anything really.

OK, I don't know how many fellow metalheads I'll attract to this thread, but its something that has irked me for awhile. How in the hell is the band, Sepultura, still a thing? Max has been gone for nearly two decades, Igor for nearly a decade. I hate to sound like a metal purist, but what's...

Hello! I've been wanting to try and connect with some bassists who play black metal for awhile now. I feel the genre is somewhat ignorant to us when compared to our 6 string counterparts. While I don't currently play in a black metal band, I jam on stuff by myself and attempt to write a song or...

Hey everyone. Just wanted to start a thread so people could share some of their fave bands with regards to the doom, stoner, acid rock, psychedelic, lo-fi, fuzzy, blues, rock and metal genres. I'll start it off with a a couple popular bands and a few lesser known ones. Rock out!

Hey, folks. I got a Mesa Boogie Bass 400 (non-plus) a month or two ago and I dig it, but I don't know if its what suits me best. I put a trade ad up and some guy said he'd be interested in trading me his SLM era Ampeg SVT-CL for it, as he has two. I don't really know what stuff goes for, but to...

Hey everyone. Just curious if anyone knows where I could get a case to hold my MB Bass 400. I had it in a rack but don't really need to lug around that behemoth with all its extra junk. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hey everyone. As you can probably guess I'm just looking for good books I can use to teach myself. I'd like to have a basic knowledge of music theory, at least enough to understand what others are saying in terms of music. Genre wise, I play doom/stoner metal or black/death metal. Metal bass...

Hey guys. I mentioned in an earlier thread that a guy I knew wanted to sell me his SUNN Concert lead head. Just now, I also have an offer to buy a Beta Lead from some guy in the city. I know most of you will say, "Uhhh! Thats not a bass amp! No headroom! Why don't you get a SVT-VR like everyone...

Hey everyone. I've still been checkin' out this guys SUNN Concert Lead (lates 70s red knob) amp and I really want it. Yes, I know...I won't be able to get those low smooth tones, or I won't have much headroom. Blah, blah, blah. I'm just wondering how gnarly my tone would be with that head...

Hey there, everyone. So yesterday, I was involved in a car accident. I won't go into the details, but while we each did some wrong, I admit I was more at fault. No argument there. Both vehicles more or less done for. Either way, I just feel like such a dumb*ss and am just stressed out. I figured...

Hey there everyone. I've sort of been down in the dumps lately. I seem to have this condition where every so often I get into this 'tortured soul' kinda persona. You know, wear a turtleneck sweater and go feed the ducks...just kidding. But for real, I do for whatever reason enjoy literature...

Hey there, folks. I'm just wondering if anyone has recommendations for lesson books. I live in a fairly 'out there' rural area and don't have access to any real bass teachers. I feel as if my skill level has been stagnant over the past few months and I find it really frustrating. I'll list the...

Just wondering if anyone caught the VICE episode last week on the heavy topic of global warming. Great episode, though sad. I always feel so hopeless when I watch these documentaries because I know so many people could care less about these world wide issues. Either way, the episode only made me...

Hello all. So today I bought a Mesa Boogie Diesel 2x15 to match my Bass 400 head. Well, I've gotten it home but now I don't know what to do... I've never owned a non-combo non-solid state amp before and have never watched anyone else with one up close. So, theres my dilemma. Help me hook this...

Hey, folks. I haven't really gotten into pedals yet but I'd certainly like to. Currently, I'm looking for a fuzz pedal or distortion pedal etc. with a real nice warm, vintage earthy vibe to it. The thing I don't like about lots of these fuzz pedals I've seen is that they all sound so...fake. I...

Hey, folks. I'm picking up a Mesa Boogie Diesel 2X15 cab this weekend. Though, the guy just mentioned he has a new Mesa 2x12 Powerhouse cab. I'm not that well versed in cab configurations but any opinions on a 2x15 + 2x12 pairing. I don't really need the 2x12 but he said he'd throw it in for a...

Hey, folks! I suppose this could also fit into the effects section but figured I may as well post here. Me any my buddy (drummer) found two guys who are looking to start some sorta stoner/doom/acid rock/psych/garage rock/lo-fi fuzz type band and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendation for...

Hey there! I'm just wondering if anyone has read any of Bill O'Reilly's books? My uncle recently gave me Killing Patton and Killing Lincoln. Personally, my only experience with O'Reilly is from seeing clips of his show, in which he is usually disagreeing with some I agree with. I don't want to...

Today, my biology teacher shared with me his views on the topic of evolution. While they differ from mine, I nonetheless accept him 100% and all his unique views! I won't expand on the subject as I'd hate for anyone's views to be challenged here. No sirree bob! Lets celebrate different opinions...

Hey! I thought I had made my mind up on what cab to get but am still deciding. Just wondering what everyone thinks about Orange cabs and or Mesa cabs. Pros and cons of each, etc. I'm runnin' through a Mesa Boogie 400 (non plus) and either a Ric 4001 or Fender Jazz. Thanks

Hey there! Random question, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea or notion as to where the name Rousehorn might come from. Its in my family tree but I can't trace it back far enough to Europe so I'm stumped. Again, random question but whatever.

Hey, folks. I'm looking into getting a new cab and would like some input. Lately I've had an infatuation with 4x12's so I've been looking into them pretty heavily. I just purchased a Mesa Boogie 400 (non-plus) and thats what I'll be using for reference. I've also thought about just snagging up a...

Hey, folks. I was telling a buddy of mine I recently met at a concert that I was looking for a new cab(s) and he mentioned he has the titled cabs in his garage. He wants to get rid of them and I said I might be interested. I know this question will probably make some cringe, but do you think I...

Hey! Just wondering if anyone as any recommendations cab wise for the Mesa Boogie 400 that's on the way to me. I've been looking at a Traynor 4x12, would love to hear anyone elses input. Traynor just is appealing because of cost, ease of purchase and I don't know any other major amp companies...

Hey there, folks. Just wanted to share and support this independently made documentary on the religion of the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons. It, in my mind, has truly been a neglected aspect of English history and will hopefully be more thoroughly researched in the future. As well, Its nice to...
