Hello, my name is Silas Caldwell and I am opening a boutique music store in Nashville, Tennessee in January. We are basically done with our guitar and guitar amps section, but as a bass player, I naturally want to appeal to bass players with a nice selection of boutique basses and bass amps...

Hello Talkbass! After going through different rig setups, I have had my eye on these specific amps. Any advice on these particular amps? First, for perspective, I usually play in mid-to-large size venues. I've never used larger than a 2x12 cabinet but would love to scale up to at least 4x10 or...

I'm doing my occasional rig change, which now involves a NEW AMP! Looking for that AMPEG sound again. I thought I hit the jackpot and got used to my Gallien-Krueger MB212-II. However, I began playing on Broadway and have gotten used to the Ampeg sound, and I think that's what would be best for...

I drove out of my way from Nashville to Madison, TN (20 minute drive) to go to Sam Ash and try out some Hartke gear, since I had never tried them. As soon as I got there, it felt wrong. There weren’t any employees. The entire store empty (no people). I walked back to the main room with Gibsons...

TalkBass, What Is The Best Amp You've Ever Played Through?

Considering picking one up in great condition for $250! Is this a good deal, or should I avoid it? Not that many good demos online, what do owners think?

While watching the likes of Dave Ellefson, Billy Sheehan, Rex Brown, Etc., I noticed they all used Hartke. From what I seem to have noticed is after the Mid-2000's Ampeg Meltdown many artists transitioned to Hartke, but why? Why not Ashdown, Gallien-Krueger, Aguilar, MarkBass, upon many other...

Well here it is, my golden opportunity. Me and my band have received the ultimate opportunity to play on Broadway in Nashville! My current rig is: Basses: Gibson Thunderbird (D Standard and Drop C Tuning) Ernie Ball Sterling SUB Stingray 4 (E Standard, Drop D, and Eb Standard) Pedalboard...

Hello! Thanks for viewing! My father once saw his friend play a cheap red bass with the frets ripped out of it. My father knew that playing bass is what he wanted to do for his life. He bought the bass and that was his first bass. That friend recently reunited with my father and gave him an...

Hello! I am a light touring musician (playing in different towns once every two weeks or so) and I play bass and do vocals. I use a GK MB212-II Combo and it sounds perfect with my basses (Gibson Thunderbird and Ernie Ball Sterling SUB Stingray). I nearly just sold it and got a Fender Rumble 800...

Thank you all who responded to my last post. It inspired me to look at the Mesa/Boogie TT-800 a little closer. However, I need YOUR help to help me make the right decision. I just wanted to know, I could totally buy a 78 Pound Monster Tube Amp for $1000, but this hybrid 8 Pound amp is $1099. All...

Hello, I have been playing bass for awhile now, my latest tour rig was an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, and my Aguilar dB112. My goal here was, LIGHT AS POSSIBLE. But I realized that meant sacrificing tone and paying more for a solid state than a normal tube amp. I've considered my options and I'm...
