    Users of Song Surgeon

    I've downloaded a sample, but it is good for only a very short time, so I could not dig deep. It sounds promising but I'm not sure, for example, if it could separate a banjo and a mandolin part. I'm not too concerned about the bass lines and don't have too much trouble breaking those out...

    Wildwood Ric Special

    I will be in Denver for the holiday and planned a visit to Wildwood Guitars, so I've been checking the site off and on lately. This may not be new news but I wanted to post it regardless as I did not see it ref'd in a TB search. Pics and a link are below. I have been looking for a Jet Glo and...

    One (pre)Amp to rule them all . . . I hope!

    Pics or it didn't happen rule. . . It was supposed to be here around the 1st of May but I had to delay it for a surprise month long pause for "better hold onto all of your money biopsy scare". Negative test in this case means good news and so the music continues! Now I have to wait until...

    Gone in 60 seconds!

    I got a notice from Sweetwater earlier this afternoon about the Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass II - Walnut Stain being available for purchase. Cool! Let me take another look at the page, and for the price just order it for a no worries bass to take out and jam with. Click. . . . "We're sorry...

    Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS806 - Any TB's have and play one?

    I'm interested in having one 6 stringer in the collection. I already have a BTB BEADG and a BTB EADGC (with a ramp) and enjoy them both. Any input, pro or con would be appreciated. The multi-scale is the main reason. I've never owned one. BTW does the multi-scale help reduce wrist stress. An...

    Mr. Blue Sky solo tone.

    The guitar solo on Mr. Blue Sky by ELO is one of my all time favorite tones. Can one of you effects/pedal gurus explain to me how that was done and can this be duplicated in a lower frequency on bass and still sound nice and consistent, hollow and fuzzy? I've never been one to dive deep into...

    How big is this in the UK?

    This article showed up in my "special interest" pocket on my home page. I'm always glad to see surges of musical styles (especially among our youth) even if some are of the style I don't particularly care for. I envy those with the innate head and ear for the complexity. Jazz, like classical...

    I've decided to go with the Kemper.

    I have spent the last year sweating over threads, ads, comparisons, other members here wringing their own hands over which one and what if's. I'm no pro, it's not worth a frequency response, besides I'm already half deaf. I've debated the Fender SB 300 and the Ampeg Heritage to death in my...

    Fender Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass

    What are your thoughts and do you think it is worth it? I do like the appearance and I get that the cost of business is always on the rise but two grand for this, in my mind, is a bit high. Just curious of your initial thoughts.

    Gretsch G220 or Epi Embassy Pro?

    I've been watching the Epi Embassy thread for some time and I've put it in and out of a cart so many times, it's shameful. Now Sweetwater is claiming a "new addition" with the Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass II. I've been looking for a low cost beater (aka lower threshold stress over bumps and...

    MuseScore

    This is just a general heads up for those who are looking for a free and VERY thorough charting software program. MuseScore is free (and I mean NO HOOKS) and can be found at Invalid Link Removed I was referred to the site this morning. I typically use GP7 but this looks like a winner. For...

    The Golden Shopping Cart

    Hi. I'm Deak, and I am addicted to Shopping Carts. I read something interesting here on TB and immediately head to SW or MF and place the item on my wishlist for intent studious cerebral studies later. ;) You know, topics, reviews, video searches, sound bites and reliable you tube artists I...

    Fender Bassman 300 or Kemper Profiler into my Mesa D800?

    About the same price and I see benefits either way. I'm crazy about the Fender Bassman 300 looks and stage appearance not to mention the woof/overhead etc. Two channels with loads of variety. Bios switch etc. Sounds like the good old days. Did I say a stack looks badass? It's the only way my...

    Sunn 200s head and 2x15 D140 cab. Is the equivilant out there with modern gear today?

    I know it's all subjective but most of us elders know the sound and feel. Is there an equivalent of that tone in a modern day head/cab that does it. I've given up on finding a matched set in excellent condition. I'm not looking to referb either. I just want to get immersed in the sound again...

    Nathan East You Tube Enlightenment

    Speaking of Rickenbacker . . .

    Pickups dilemna. I could use some input please.

    Anyone out there with personal experience using several or all of the four pickups listed below? I'm looking for a basic tone, feel, nekkid sound, strong points as well as weak points, between them. I have no experience with any of them but in making a decision for a fiver, my ignorance about...

    Do you position your left hand differently for each bass you own?

    I have started playing my first P. An MIM Nior and I like it quite a bit but after a few days of playing, when I stretch over 4 frets on the lower 6 frets my middle finger on my left hand flexes straight up as in flipping someone off. I have never had that happen on my shorter scale basses and...

    Unbelievable

    Glad the Fender P made it here OK but I have an audition Monday and no case to haul it in. It's gone so wrong I can only laugh. It now has to come back to Kansas City once more and then maybe to Topeka. (I had to replace a few of the green "Check Mark" badges from each sentence in order to...

    (NCD) My Mesa Subway stack now towers over my Marshall full stack.

    OK. OK. It's a full "micro" Marshall stack. But the Subway 12" fills the bill for me and ends the GAS attacks hopefully for a long time. :whistle: I have been looking at various 112's and 2x112's to use with, or in place of, the 15's for an additional/different sound personality if you will...

    My First Fender

    I just ordered a Fender Deluxe Active Precision. I've tried quite a few lately and found the necks a lot more comfortable than I remember from my early days that led me away from them. Looking forward to gigging with it and expanding my horizons. That is all.

    Moniker Guitars. Any members have experience with this brand?

    This bass made my jaw drop when I first opened the mail notice. It just looks like it means business. I'm wondering how it plays etc. Any members with company experience? The price seems pretty reasonable. Thanks

    Another Early Black Friday. Sweetwater 48 months no interest.

    My wallet is bucking like a wild horse but alas my budget is done for this year and I've no need to extend that far. It might be perfect for those who are looking for some of the higher priced items. Some great deals on decent gear as well. Edit for words.

    Grain. Besides asthetics do you consider your choice for any other reason?

    I'm currently looking at a fiver, an Ibanez BTB33NTF. Several choices are available and I noticed right off, side by side, the extreme differences on the top pieces. Some being very tight grain and others being a much more open, wide pattern. Kind of thick for "Laminate" but that still may be...

    Question about five string with high C

    I'm considering a 5'er strung with high C. Are there any considerations as to correct string fit with the original hardware as in nut notching etc? Need some schooling. Thanks.

    Subway D800 Head and Cab(s) owners. Tonal opposite stack?

    I have the D800 using headphones until the back ordered :nailbiting: (2) 1x15's arrive. I've always been married to that 2x15 feel and thick rich deep sound (to me). I fully expect to be more than thrilled and satisfied with the set up. That said, I wonder what would TB Subway users think would...

    Lehle RMI Basswitch Dual Band Compressor Caught my attention but the video is all super bright with no dialing for comparison or something relative to grasp onto. I'd really like to hear more samples. Could be what some are looking for. It is unique looking. And I just bought a Spectra Comp...

    Is this a decent deal? Berg cab

    Bergantino AE410 - Like new w/cover 650.00 on Craigs. This cab has been listed for several months and in the home photo looks mint. I've seen several sold here on TB. Just curious as to the general opinion and tone as I have never heard one live. Thanks

    What polar opposites are you alt inputing/practicing with?

    I realized today that I am cruising with Altan (Celtic. This is like comfort food to me) at one point and also trying to play along with Janelle Monet (So. much. talent.) for new muscle memory/style/ear experience. Anyone else finding they are doing some real opposite/extreme styles for alt...

    How long would you wait?

    I have two items ($500-$1000 range) on back order from a very large music merchandiser. Neither of which are a "Special Order", but both are "More arriving soon!" I'm really in no need of immediate delivery, so I'm satisfied waiting until earliest shipment. Since both orders are going on 90...
