    Isolated grounds: How necessary?

    Hey, TalkBassers. I find myself needing to throw together a small board for a gig coming up in two weeks, because I use a Fractal Axe-Fx 2 at home for all of my effects processing needs, but I live in South Korea and take public transportation everywhere, and the buses are just plain too...

    Preamp pedal vs Preamp/DI pedal. Which to get?

    Okay, talkbassers. At home, I mostly use a Fractal Axe-Fx 2 w/headphones for practicing and the recording I'll do once in a blue moon, and I've got an Aguilar/MarkBass rig that stays at the practice space/studio my band uses. However, I live in Korea and go everywhere using public...

    NBD: ACG Skelf R 6 multiscale

    This is new to me, but definitely not new to talkbass. The person I bought it from bought it from the original owner here, so it's made quite the journey from Scotland to the US and now on to South Korea. There are already pics of this bass floating around on the internet in a few places...

    Axe-Fx II Slap Tone Help

    Hey, Talkbassists. I know there's a handful of users on here who have an Axe-Fx II in their rigs somewhere, and I was wondering if any of you have ever used it to create a patch for playing slap. I've been trying and trying, tweaking and tweaking, and I just can't get a tone I'm happy with. I...

    Belated NBD: Bacchus PJ Woodline

    Alright, peeps. First thread, first NBD. Here goes nothin'. I normally fiddle around on a five string Ibby BTB, but I recently joined a local sludge/doom band on bass, and they play in drop D so far. That gave me an excuse to get a 4 string to tune to drop D, and something more...

    Howdy from South Korea

    Hey, all. I'm Tim. I'm originally from Illinois, but am currently teaching English as a second language at an elementary school in South Korea. It isn't glamorous, but it feeds the GAS. I've mostly been a guitarist for the past 13 years or so, though I've tried to pick up the bass once or twice...
