    Black Widow 15 inch @200 Watts

    I have a chance to buy a 15 inch 4 ohm Black Widow speaker. It is in a cabinet that looks to be from a PA system. It is 4 ohms. I am wondering if my 200 watt class d amp would push this enough to get some deep floor shaking tone at lower volumes? Cabinet is like the pic except no horn on top.

    Sennheiser HD599 Cans

    I have a pair of HD599's. Do you think using them for practice will eventually destroy them? Rattle them apart? Not sure the task is appropriate for these headphones.

    Rumble 25 amp swap speaker cabinet

    Anyone ever take the amplifier section of a Fender Rumble 25 and hook it to a 2x10. Acquired the stuff for a song and was wondering if I can match the two.

    BA210....smokin' RIP What to replace with?

    So my BA210 finally smoked. I just use it at the house for solo practicing. I took the head out and wired up the speakers as 4 ohms. Looking for a relatively cheap head. 200 watts max. What would you get?

    Hotone? Which?

    I have been looking at the very inexpensive Hotone amps. I picked up a 2x10 Ampeg cabinet for next to nothing. Figured I would get a cheap head too. This would be exclusively for at home practice. No gigs. In searching the internet some people use other Hotone "guitar" heads for this...

    Vibrakill

    This is popping up on some of my feeds. It is used for tennis rackets. Used primarily on guitars. Anyone tried it on bass as a muting device? Curious as to how much it may differ from foam.

    Preamp (pedal) into a power amp

    I'm in the market for an amplifier. I am thinking a more cost effective (more watts for the power) and (more flexibility on the pre.) solution might be this. Power amplifiers are cheap such as those used in audio. QSC etc. I am wondering if buying a preamp pedal such as a Sans amp and running...

    Tuning peg gear source

    My 2021 Sterling Stingray Sub Series has a cracked tuning peg gear. D String. First off, is this a common thing? I never had this happen on any instrument before. Secondly where can I source a gear or do I need the whole assembly? If so where can I source that? I really do not want to...

    Nut widening

    Buy a set of files and widen the nut a bit to fit the new strings or take it to a luthier? This seems to me that it may be like drywall taping. You think it is easy until you sand your first seam and are covered in white dust. But I may be making too much of it?

    Fret end filing

    I acquired a Sterling Sub series bass. The ends of the frets are very rough. Is it all technique in terms of filing/smoothing them down a bit so as to not mar the wood of the neck? Or is there some secret tool or something?

    Precision - Closest Config to sound like an upright

    I have been fooling around with a side project. I have a Precision and am trying to make it sound like an upright. Just because I am doing some cello suites and such. I think it would be fun. I was wondering where to start or if someone has already done this. Strings, Pedals, Pickup swaps, etc,

    Comparing bass sounds

    I went to the local shop on Saturday. Played a Fender P bass and Fender Jazz. I was closely comparing sounds. To my ear the P Bass had more bottom and the Jazz had more distinct highs. In talking with a guy who worked there he said "Wait a minute". He came back with a box (pedal). It was a...

    Practice amp recomendations

    Time to quit playing through headphones. I "think" I want a practice amp. I am no where near ready to gig. However, If I were to just go jam it would be nice to have an amp that could handle it? I am kind of doubtful though that i will find a one size fits all solution. Obviously I want as...

    Bass Choice...effects the great neutralizer/saviour?

    Hello, I have been out of bass playing for decades but want to get back in. Recently I have tried out two basses which I like. A Fender (Squire) (Jazz or Precision) Vibe 70 and a Sire M5 (Jazz or Precision). I notice minimal sound differences. In other words there are sounds where each...
