    Looking for versatile, mid-sized cabs to complement a Tonehammer 500 and V4b

    Hi there, on a search for a new cab. I live in a rural area in the inner mountain west so I can't pop down to the music store and try a bunch of stuff out. Currently own a Warwick Thumb and fretless Ken Smith Designs Jazz bass, going into an Aggie TH500 or vintage Ampeg V4B, depending on my...

    How would you describe/achieve John Mcvie's tone on Fleetwood Mac's "The Dance?"

    Holy cow it's just so good. I'm also still learning to define a lot of tone terminology (I saw someone describe a "boxy" bass tone the other day? *** is that?) so I figured this would be a good exercise for me. It sounds pretty punchy in the low mids with good bass but still really defined, and...

    Is there that much of a difference between a $100 tube and a $500 tube, other than demand?

    Between a $12 EH 12ax7 and a $100 JAN GE 12ax7, sure I'll buy it. Better build quality and quality control. But I'm looking at some of these on Tube Depot going for $500 per tube, and I'm wondering if there's that much of a difference or if it's mostly just demand, i.e. NOS and there's only a...

    Replacing flyback diodes in vintage Ampeg v4b

    Flyback diodes are bad, I know I can leave them disconnected but I want to replace them. OTs are expensive! I'm going to replace them with 1n4007s as per the interwebs suggestion, but how do I know how many to use? There are currently 2 parallel sets of three series wired diodes coming from one...

    Hi friends, I just heard this youtube clip of a Rick Turner RB4 and holy cannoli that thing sounds so beautiful. I'm really in love with it's upright sound while still maintaining some of that Jazz bass growl. I have a Ken Smith Designs fretless jazz bass with an Alder body, maple neck and...
