    Mesa TT 800 or Bergantino Forté HP??

    I was really liking the Ashdown stuff but the more I kick around on here, the more I see that Ashdown isn’t really that very well regarded. If I’m going to get my “last rig I’ll ever need to buy” and am looking to plunk down $2000 or so for it, it’s looking like either the Bergantino or the...

    Dumble Winterland... has anyone ever played one?

    Or even SEEN one? I was reading an interview a guy did with Dumble and it was really interesting... for all the talk about him being some temperamental, mythical unicorn who magically produces brilliant amps made of 100% pure unobtainium... this particular article showed a guy who just wants to...

    Ashdown Rootmaster RM 500 EVO II

    Looking to up my amp game with the Ashdown RM 500 EVO II head but not sure whether to pair it with a 1x15” and a 2x10” setup or go with the single 4x10” cab.

    How long before my CV 60’s isn’t “good enough” any more?

Today. 3/30/21... it plays great, sounds great and feels right, and at 8.8 pounds it’s right in that sweet spot of neither being too heavy or too light. No neck dive whatsoever and now that I have it set up it’s...

    Upgrading my CV 60’s P bass.

    I got a 5% overwound Lindy Fralin pickup, a Gotoh 201b-4 bridge and a prewired harness w/Orange drop cap deal made by a guy in Texas named Dave Starr. I searched him here and got no hits. When it all comes in I’ll post pix and give my input/opinion on whether it was money well spent or a waste...

    Thoughts on the D’Addario XL balanced tension strings.

    My Squier CV 1960’s P bass came with (what feels like) some fairly heavy gauge strings and I’m thinking of trying a lighter gauge (.045-.107) set of the D’Addario XL170BT’s. Does anyone have any advice/experience with these? It seems obvious, but what exactly does “balanced tension” mean? Is it...

    Howdy from Atlanta!

    I’m getting back into the bass after aunt a 30 year layoff. I’ll be 55 this time next week so this ought to be fun!!
