Hi all, just got this beautiful Mesa Boogie 1516 for a bargain. The seller couldn't tell much about it, since he didn't ever really play it. I'm still not quite sure which 1516 model this is. It has two inputs but no information on the back panel. Today I tried connecting an amp to the lower...

Counter-intuitive kind of, but yeah. My favorite tone is a passive vintage jazz bass going straight to my non-fancy DI with some HPF/LPF and LO-FI compression (vulf compressor). What would be the best way to get this tone live when there is no option to go PA (small clubs, practice)? Some sort...

Any advice on achieving this kind of bassy yet clear low and that has a real punch? I've looked at a bunch of demos of the basses but they seem to lack this kick that is so present in these mixes. I can see Federico is playing by the bridge but I only get that jacoish burp when doing that...

Hey there, I've encountered a problem with my Schecter Diamond passive jazz bass. I play in a metal band and I use quite a bit of distortion. My signal is Tuner > EBS multicomp > Darkglass preamp > Fuzz > Overdrive > Orange Bass Terror 500. When I’m playing with the jazz and stacking...

Hey guys and gals, this place has been a serious source of inspiration and knowledge for me for the last two years. I’ve acquired some real good piece of gear using the advice I’ve collected from these posts. Right now I have a solid setup of distortion and fuzz which is the foundation of my...

Hey all, I'm trying to find a replacement speaker for my Hartke 115xl. We play stoner and might have a couple of gigs next year. My current speaker can't handle much I've been looking at Eminence Kappa A and a 3015. Would the cab be able to handle that kind of power and would the 115 be loud...

Hi all, I’m building my first bass rig for a Mastodon-esque project and we're going for that massive classic stoner sound. I haven’t been able to find any good deals on tube amps so I’m thinking about buying an acoustic 220 with 402 cab which are supposed to be in good condition. Is 450-500€...
