    70's Rig Completed! Acoustic Control Content Contained Within!

    Finally completed my set up with an Acoustic 106 (with new Speakers bringing it up to 1100watts peak). Was looking for this or a Sunn 2x15. Popped into Old Town Music while I was in PDX recently and lo and behold they had both! This was the clear winner (especially since it matches the head I...

    Power Supply Daisy Chain Help

    OK, so this could very well be the stupidest question ever, but here it goes: So I'm new to effects and recently have purchased a few pedals. I only have a power supply for one (typical 9v deal) and I really hate batteries (as I think we all do). SO, what I'm wondering is if I can just buy a...

    Mods for Cry Baby Wah

    I have a Jimi Hendix Sig. Cry Baby Wah and I read a while back (I thought here on TB) that you could mod these pretty easily for bass, but I'll be damned if I can find that thread now AND the link was dead then anyway. ANyone else heard this?? Anyone have the plans??? thanks guys!!

    Need to buy new rig ASAP! Looking used...cheap... :(

    So, some circumstances have shifted and I now have $500 to put into a rig that's loud and gigable. I'm not really sure where to start. Definitely looking used, even on the "beat to hell" side of used. Tubes are always a plus (but I realize very unlikely at this price point). lots of clean...

    Good keyboard forum

    My friend who is a piano/keyboard player is a little jealous of talk bass and wants to know if there is any equivalent for keys players out there. Anyone know??

    Flats with tension similar to GHS Boomers

    Hey I'm looking to put flats on my CV Jazz bass and the current strings I have are just too wiggly (don't know what they are unfortunately as they came on the bass used). I have GHS boomers on my Yammy and I like the tension on those (I can't play wiggly strings with precision) and was wondering...

    Bad idea to use guitar combo with bass??

    I have a Marshall MG50 guitar combo amp that I really like playing bass through. I can get a really nice vintage tone (which makes sense I guess) and it has a few nice onboard effects. However, I sometimes worry about damaging the speaker in some way (it's a 12" I think) because the bass is such...

    Cheap amps used that I can gig with?

    Hey so I may be joining a new group (for really the first time in 10 years) and I may need an amp I can gig clubs with very soon. I'm looking used and cheap. Like less than $300 and ideally less than $200. Any suggestions? I don't need a ton of headroom as I like to drive my amps a bit. Thanks!!

    JPJ Whole Lotta Love sound. (Flats)?

    I know there are a lot of threads AROUND this topic, but I've googled my way trough this site and I can't seem to get the info I'm after. How does JPJ get his sound on whole lotta love? I'm i mistaken or does it sound like flats? Is it his J Bass? If I missed a thread where this is answered let...

    Squier Classic Vibe 60's j bass?

    So these things are awesome. I have only heard good things so far. Has anyone had any negative experiences? Also is it just me or are they super hard to come by used?? I've got to go used because of my current financial situation and despite scouring the Internet and local stores here in...

    I can't decide. Bass Anxiety. Currently without a bas

    I don't know what I want. I really like vintage, thumpy, tone. I like playing clean and with some fuzz or overdriving my rig. I am currently without a bass (life of a student). I have $400 to make myself happy again. I like the look and feel of Danelectro longhorns but I've played some...

    Flats on Active pick-ups?

    Played this Squire Jaguar today that someone had put active pickups in. I think I really liked it (i'm having a hard time deciding what I want) but I thought I might like it even more with flats (active is maybe a bit too modern and clear for me with roundwounds). The salesman (a bassist)...

    Looking for something old and thumpy in Portland

    Title might sound like a NSFW Craigslist ad but what I really am looking for is a bass in the same vein as an old danelectro. Played a silvertone u-1 (I think but am likely way off a I'm not too knowledgable with model numbers) with flatwounds recently and loved the sound (good player too...
