Curious if anyone has ever had this happen to them: Tuner pedal - a D'Addario Chromatic Tuner - works perfectly fine when used in-line (bass-tuner-chorus pedal-amp) but when I put it into the Effects Loop (still just the tuner first and the chorus pedal), it gets all wonky and doesn't pick up...

Hoping for some help or recommendations from the community... I've been playing a DG Microtubes 900v2 for a couple of years now and have loved the tone, versatility, size/weight. But I have heard that they can experience problems "later in life". I bought this amp used a few years ago - again...

I love the tone from an Ibanez BTB20TH which comes with Nordstrand Big Singles. I'm not as crazy about the shape of the body and the look of it (don't hate it, just don't love it). There are other basses where I prefer the look, fretboard, etc. that are also more affordable. SO, I'm debating...

Looking to pick up one of these two basses and curious what the TB community thinks. I play in a metal band so that's my primary focus but I do expect to do some jazz quartet stuff once things are back to normal. Any pros/cons on either of these that anyone can share?

I just picked up a used Schecter Apocalypse C-5. It has two custom Schecter "J-Buckers" and a 3 way switch for each pickup giving you Series/Parallel/Split options. I'm getting a pretty good amount of noise when in Parallel - in both the neck and bridge pickup. Is that to be expected? I would...

My Hartke LH1000 suddenly started picking up a local radio station signal. This happens with or without the instrument cable plugged in. And I’m not using a wireless system. Any idea why?

OK, Talk Bassers, hoping you can help me here. I have a Hartke LH1000 into a HyDrive 410 (8ohms, rated 1000 watts) in bridge mode with speakon cable and it sounds great. BUT, I have a VX410 cab (400 watts at 8ohms) that's just sitting in the corner collecting dust. Is there anything I can do...

Hoping someone can help shed some light. I'm looking at a used 1993 Made in USA Fender Jazz Bass. Everything about it looks good. But, the serial # is printed on the back of the headstock while every other picture of every other early 90s US Fender Jazz has it on the front. It's also in a...

Just bought this used Fender Jazz fretless- MIJ 86 or 87 based on the serial number. Trying to determine what strings are on it - they’re flats but have some nice brightness to them.

So, maybe a silly question here but here goes... My amp - a Hartke TX300 - has built in compression. In my usual setting I have it set to 3pm, FYI. Since it's already built into the amp, do I still need a compression pedal? Any benefits to investing in a separate pedal?

I have an upcoming audition with a band that tunes down a whole step. Since I play a 5 string bass and have that low D, should I tune down as well or can I get away with keeping standard tuning? Would any issues or weirdness happen when playing with the rest of the band? Thanks for any help.
