...which features would be important to you? Which materials would you use? If you knew someone with a machine shop who could produce a prototype, would you be interested in being a guinea pig?

I play in a 4 piece cover band and we share our drummer with another local band. His other band was playing a gig at a pub so I went to check them out. It's a three piece classic rock trio made up of some well known and much loved musicians. The show was pretty much what I expected from some of...

The guitar player from my band came over today and we were doing a little freestyle jamming (beer drinking) and having some laughs in my basement. We kept the volume low enough to here each other say "Go to C" or "I need a beer" or what-have-you, when suddenly my neighbor whom I rarely see is...

Here she is. Sorry for crappy photo. I was in too much of a hurry to get her set up and playing to grab an actual camera. So far... I dig.

I currently run a Blackline 250 with a 4 ohm Traveler 210 for small bar gigs. It's got plenty of volume so far but not much room to spare. Would I benefit more from buying a Blackline 410 which is only available as a 8 ohm cab (would drop my wattage to 150) or picking up one of their other 410...

I'm in a new band with members who are largely unknown on the local music scene. We rehearse a lot and try to appear professional and polished in our performance. In a venue we've never played at, in a town that's very unreceptive to new acts it can be hard to get booked. We've tossed around the...

I recently picked up a Little Mark 250 Blackline which I run into a 4 ohm 2x10 Traveler cab. It's a nice sounding rig for the small bars I play in but I noticed one major design flaw the first time I plugged in. There is no input pad or low gain input for my higher output basses. With my AV P...

A mid-seventies Penco Jazz copy? This particular one has been slightly augmented by the previous owner with Badass II and Hipshot tuners but I think the stock pickups remain. She's been my old standby for a couple years now.

...I order a cheap Sterling SUB. The neck on my damn Fender AV P Bass back-bowed for the umteenth time this month. It's no quick fix since I have to loosen the neck to get at the truss rod. I was annoyed so I started thinking about this little, cheap 'ray I played and loved at Guitard Center a...

Dropped my AVHR Fender P off at the tech to have a switch installed to cut the J completely out of the circuit. I've had a hard time getting a straight up "P" sound from this bass. Thoughts? Anyone do the same?

After a bit of a hiatus from playing bass regularly, I decided to get some fresh equipment to re-spark my interest. I've always been a Fender-with-flats-into-a-tube-amp guy but I wanted to try something different. I started with a Yamaha TRBX 504 and a G-K 700rb/neo 212 rig. Nice stuff for the...

Looking for a lightweight head to pair with my Markbass Traveler 210 (4 ohm) for those times when I don't haul my main head around. I've been eyeballing the Aguilar TH350 as well as the Markbass Black Line 250. I'm leaning aggie but is it worth the extra $200? How do they compare? Are their...

Thinking about a replacement for a 410hlf to use with my SVT-CL. I would like a 810e but I can't buy new and the used ones near me are kinda beat up. And an 810 would be way more than I need. So, I was thinking maybe instead I'll use two sealed 2x10 cabs such as the Hartke 210XL. Any thoughts on...

OK. I need to wine/complain/vent for a little while: I'm in my mid 30's and started playing bass at around 12 or 13 years old. I live in a small town on the Wisconsin/Northern Michigan border. Growing up here, there was a huge music scene for such a small town. There were always plenty of...

I recently picked up a re-tubed SVT-CL and I am really digging it. But, I have to ask, is it normal for this head to always sound overdriven? Don't get me wrong, I love the rich warm power tube drive. I'm just curious if this is normal or is there something wrong with it? I am running it into a...
