Greetings from the North, I have a Bassman 412 pyramid cab (actually I had 2) since new from the early 1970's. I ran them with an early 1969 SVT head. Sold one of them and replaced it with an 18" reflex cabinet that I gave away. I kept the 412 and used it thru my straight ahead rock...

Greetings from the North, For a winter project I've just purchased 4 neo 8 Ohm speakers to install into a 412 cab. I do know that with standard wiring four 8 Ohm speakers will result in a 2 Ohm load. I've been looking at series-parallel, parallel-series diagrams that allegedly result in a 8 Ohm...

Greetings from the North, At present I'm in search of a shop or luthier that would be willing to make an Alder Jazz V bass body that would fit a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz V Neck that would be under 6 lbs. I did check out Warmoth but the neck pocket was was over 70mm wide at the heal which is...

Greetings from the North, I know there's a few of us out in bassdom that have resorted to modifying a bass or two to keep from going stir crazy over the Winter and during the current Plague. I recently finished tweaking a Squier VM Jazz 5 Bass that my wife had given me a few years ago. It was...

Greetings from the North, I've got a Squier VM Jazz 5 that has a misaligned bridge so I'm replacing it with an American Fender bridge that has less sharp bits on it. Anyways.... do any of you learned folks know if a fresh ground wire is necessary when replacing the bridge to maintain a good...

Greetings All... I'm trying to understand why people choose Maple Fretboards and what genres of music do they enjoy playing with them. Also if you are aware of any recording artist that use Maple Fretboards on their basses and maybe any samples of tunes they have recorded. You can compare Maple...

Greetings from the North, I happen to have 2 Jazz Bass necks that have the same construction i.e. maple necks & boards, same tuners etc. One is noticeably heavier than the other. Does anyone out there know if there would be any sonic differences given that they would be mounted on the same bass...

Greetings from the North, For those that own or have played thru the Fender Bassman 115 Neo cab what's to like & what's not? Also what type of amp do you or did you use? Thanks Rezdog

Greetings from the North, A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a great solution that makes changing basses at gigs and rehearsals quick & easy. A SnapJack cable with a set of extra tips work great and are pretty much fool proof. I had originally looked into getting an A/B box or an A/B DI...

Greetings from the North, Does anyone know what bass 'Bijou (p.townshend) Drains' played on the Thunderclap Newman hit 'Something In The Air'? Hmm... Rezdog

Greetings from the North, I've been thinking about changing the grills on a couple of bass cabinets. Doing a little scanning as to what's available out there I've noticed that you can get grill patterns with as little as 25% to as large as 65% open area. Still seems like a lot of metal in...

Greetings from the North, From experience... Would you be so kind to share what the sonic or audible differences are between the Eminence Kappa Pro 15LFA & 3015LF? I know there have been threads that have covered some of this but since some time has past there may be more experience that has...

Greetings from the North, I know this goes against convention but has anyone heard/seen a Precision with a J pickup in the neck position instead of the bridge? And of course the results..... Rezdog

Greetings from the North, Just wondering if anyone has installed a 'Tonestyler' pot into a Fender P or J (4 string or 5), and what you thought of it? Also.... were you able to keep the stock Fender sound as well as any enhancements? Thanks Rezdog

Greetings from the North, Was wondering if anyone ever tried stringing a set of Fender 7250 Super Bass strings onto a 35 inch scale Fiver through the bridge.....and were they long enough? Thanks in advance... Rezdog

Greetings from the North, Back in ancient times I had a 1st series Ampeg SVT head. It was and still is my all time favourite. My memory might be kinda sketchy but I think mine had 6460's, as opposed to the mid 70's Blue Lines 6550's, for power tubes and it had a little more grunt too. It's...

Greetings from the North, The Tribute line of G&L has been in production for a few years now. I played one a while back and it didn't have any noise issue as in hum/buzz etc. Maybe it was a fluke but I was wondering if the Tribbys are indeed quieter than the Cali made models and if they...

Greetings from the North, Was wondering if anyone knew if there was such a thing as a headphone amp that was capable of recording direct and was the size of a walkman? It would just be for practicing and for those moments when you come up with a cool lick that you don't wanna lose...

Greetings from the North, Ummm......I just went to the Avatar web site and clicked on the bass cabs section, and at the bottom of it there were 210 cabs in assorted colours that I believe were in Tolex instead of rat fur. And I thought to myself,"self,that's pretty interesting". I then...

Greetings from the North, I know some of you are gonna cringe but.....I'm trying to track down a set of Yamaha round wound strings. I've been able to get them up until a year ago from a local store but they no longer carry them and I can't get a response out of Yamaha Canada. I don't...

Greetings from the North, This past weekend I was visitng my favorite bass & amp repair shop and I picked up a JJ ECC83S to replace the Sovtek 12AX7WA that comes stock with the XS800H. I'm still infatuated with this head but being an old hot rodder I like to tweak stuff and besides the...

Greetings from the North, Right before Xmas I was down in Detroit for a visit. I dropped by the Reverend factory to give Joe Naylor a copy of my band's new album that's being released next month. My Brad Houser 5 is on all the tunes on this CD so I thought he might be interested. He...

Greetings from the North, Has anybody played through a Peavey Pro 1600 yet. If so, what's it like? Rezdog

Greetings, I was wondering if any of you would know of some one that could refinish a bass in Canada. I had wanted to have a go at it myself over the winter but I've got a couple of kids that would not be able to handle the fumes. The body of the bass is swamp ash in a natural...

Greetings from the North, I slipped across the border last week to Detroit and visited the Reverend factory. Joe Naylor was kind enough to do a set up on my Brad Houser 5 that I'll be recording with. I spoke with him and he said that they will be taking orders for basses for the next month...

Greetings from the North, Was wondering how the new SB112's are working out? Is anyone using a pair of these and how do they compare to the B212 Avatar or any other 12" cabs out there. I know there have been alot of Avatar threads in the past and yes I've read them all, but I would like...

Greetings from the North. I was wondering if some one could explain the differences in power amps that use Class D or Class H and what are the pros and cons of each? Happy Times, Rezdog

Greetings, Having thoughts of power and greed. Does anyone out there know what the difference is between Peavey's GPS and PV line of power amps other than price,cosmetics and wattage. Currently I am running 1000 watts, courtesy of Carvin. I've had it for 4 yrs and it's been pretty...

Greetings from the Great Thawing North, On page 23 of the April issue of Bass Guitar mag there is a Walk About head sitting on top of two new Mesa 2X12's. I checked out Mesa's web sight but I couldn't find any info. So if you know could you let us know...

Greetings from the Great White North, I've been scanning Talk Bass for a while and finally will be in a financial position to get some new gear in the spring. So expect a couple of research post. I am a 12" fan. Want to Know from any one that uses or have used an SWR 2X12 "12...
