I have heard that cold weather might be bad for tube amps, but is the same true for solid state? Can any damage occur if left in cold weather for too long?

So I searched the threads a little bit, and I am still curious why Darkglass Microtubes has the word "tube" in it, but it actually doesn't have a single tube in either of its pedals or amp heads, is that correct? Specifically this product: Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 - 900-watt Bass Head Is it...

I was looking to buy a light, small practice amp that would still be loud enough in a band rehearsal situation. So I was looking at MarkBass amps: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Markbass/Mini-CMD-121P-1x12-Bass-Combo-Amp-1274319726172.gc?rNtt=markbass%20amps&index=2...

Is there a temperature threshold for when it's best not to order a bass guitar online when it comes to extreme climates and the concern that either too cold or too hot temperature might be detrimental to the bass guitar neck? I am thinking about ordering a bass online but I am concerned that the...

I just sold a bass online and need to ship it. Why is it that when shipping, people usually loosen the strings? Is it necessary to do? Any benefits to it?

Has anyone here implemented the Billy Sheehan finger ramp by applying epoxy on top of the pickup? I used Gorilla epoxy and it was horrible - didn't harden well and the smell was horrible. Which epoxy did you use for this project? Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience playing the "new" Attitude III bass? I know that Attitude II used to have major neck dive. But it may have improved with version III. I'd really like to try it but if it's the same neck dive as with Attitude II, then I would stay away. The only way for me to try...

Billy Sheehan always talks about putting epoxy on top of his split coil pickups to bring the pickup closer to the strings, so the fingers hit the same spot perfectly (not undershooting and missing the string and not overshooting and getting caught under the string). Does anyone know where I can...

Guys, When I play live, I use the GK 1001RB amp and the GK cab that came along with it. It is 1000W, so it should be pretty loud. Anyways, the dude who sold me the amp at Guitar Center said that I should activate the -14dB PAD switch if I plan to use an active bass with it, or otherwise the...

Hey everybody..... I was subscribed to Low End University which is a great resource, but I didn't like how it is a subscription service. Scott's Bass Lessons is another great one - but again - it's a subscription service. I find myself paying monthly fees sometimes and not using the subscription...

Hey everybody....so I am extremely frustrated with the issue I noticed on a few of my basses. At first I thought that it only applies to my crappy Squier P bass, but then I also noticed this on my ESP Tom Araya and ESP Frank Bello signature basses as well as my BO Warwick Thumb bass. After I...

My apologies if I am posting this in the wrong section. But what is the best thing to use to clean frets? I've read a bunch of articles, but I am still not sure. Please give me some input. Is it ok to use lemon oil and cloth to do this or not?

Guys, Is there a way to remove oxidation from the bridge/tuners/hardware? I'm trying to sell a Schecter bass, but was wondering if I could remove the oxidation off of the bridge and other hardware; or at least to make it look better/newer. What's the best way? Thanks.

Hey guys, I am looking to place an order for a custom shop instrument. The thing is, if I order it now, it will arrive sometime in July or August. Possibly at the hottest time of the summer. I live in Washington D.C. and it can get as hot as 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) around...

Hey everyone, I've got my hands on the Darkglass B7K analog preamp bass driver pedal and it makes my passive Squier P/J bass sound absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, all of the my other basses are active (Schecter Hellraiser with 18v electronics, Schecter Elite with 18v electronics, and ESP Tom...
