    Cutting Boards

    We have always used plastic or glass cutting boards. I'm told the glass ones will dull a ceramic knife quickly, so they are relegated to holiday only use when the steel carving knives come out. The plastic ones are loaded with microplastics which are slowly killing us and any local dolphins (I...

    MIM Jazz bass question

    I have a 1999 7ender MIM Jazz bass that I rarely play. It still has the original pickups and electronics. The other night I pulled it down and discovered something and I wonder it it’s a problem. Both volume controls work just fine and I can blend the sounds however I want. But when I turn down...

    NOBBD - New Old Bulgarian Bass Day

    So... I saw this on Etsy and decided to take a chance on it. An Orpheus (Orfeus) bass. I wasn't expecting too much and got exactly what I expected. :laugh: But it was cheap enough. The pickups 'work' - they produce sound when plugged into an amp and tapped with a screwdriver, so I've got that...

    Another amp + cabs hookup question

    I have a 300-watt amp head (Warwick Gnome iPro Japanese model) that is currently feeding a Markbass 410 cab (800 watt). Sitting around doing nothing at the moment is a PJB CAB-27 (200 watt) which has a pair of 7” drivers plus a 3” tweeter. If I wanted to use both cabs, would it be reasonable...

    What strings are these? 5-string, black ball end, white silk at winding end

    And no silks at the ball end. The came on a mid-90's(?) Hohner B Bass V - no idea if the are original or replacements. The D string was replaced because it has a brass ball end and a black winding silk but it's the only one. Any help would be appreciated.

    Account upgrade questions.

    I just upgraded to a Supporting Membership - I think. The bars ran across the top of my screen for over 10 minutes but nothing ever changed. So did my payment go through or not?

    NOBD but I need some help

    New Old Bass Day! I found a listing on FB Marketplace for a Hohner B Bass V and it looked interesting so I went and checked it out. And it followed me home! Other than a few passing mentions on here, I can't find much of anything about it. There's actually a Hohner board hosted in Germany and I...

    Alternative to Darkglass Vintage Microtubes?

    I know the Joyo Double Thruster is a clone of the B3K, but is there south a thing for the VMT? I’ve been digging around and haven’t found one yet. ¡Gracias!

    Hartke 410 Transient Attack

    There’s one of these cabs for sale near me for $200. My concern is that it’s 4 ohms and I’d really rather have an 8 ohm cab to mix and match with various heads and other cabs. He says it’s rated for 400 watts. Is the Transient Attack nomenclature significant? Does anyone know what drivers are...

    Opinions/advice requested…

    I have a Fender American Pro II Pbass, a MIM Jbass, a modified S.U.B. Ray4, and a Ray5. At this point I’m still learning and noodling but hope to sometime soon find some folks to jam with. With all of the recent talk about the Epi Grabber coming out, I was looking at those plus the original...

    Another “Which amp should I buy” thread

    Yesterday at 9:00 PM Add bookmark #1,634 I currently own a PJB BP200 with 2 Cab27 speakers (210-ish watts with both speaker boxes used). Currently I play at home as I'm a new-ish bass player with lots of guitar experience, but I'm working to become a proper bass player. Anyway, I'd like...

    Sterling Ray5HH to H - parallel wiring question

    My google-foo is failing me on this one. I've been lookong for a straight, simple answer for several hours now - I'm searching for the Dummies answer for me. I bought a Ray5HH because I specifically wanted the color (yeah, I know...) My goal is to remove the neck pickup and all of the switching...

    GK Legacy 212 vs MB212-II - which one and why?

    Is the Legacy series substantially better than the MB? There are only a few hundred dollars difference between the two and I’d rather get the more reliable of them. Are there any issues with fan noise? This is being purchased in anticipation of being able to gig soon and I want something...

    NBD and some questions

    Today I got a Cobra Blue Sterling by Music Man SUB Stingray5 HH. My initial impressions are mostly good but I have a few questions. FWIW, I received no documentation with this bass at all. In fact the box top was open as the UPS driver carried it to my house. There was no damage to the...

    PJB CAB-27 - speaker break-in

    Does the 7" PJB woofer break-in like a standard speaker? With my Ampeg bass amps I would use an iPad through the aux input and play some extremely bass heavy music for 12-24 hours at around 100 db or so. The sound seemed a bit smoother after that. (This was done in my detached garage office with...

    I need some MM pickup help please

    I purchased an Aguilar AG4M to replace the stock pickup in my Stingray SUB. I'm new to the pickup world - I can rewire the controls on a guitar or bass with no problem but haven't really done much with pickups. So my first question - is this wired serial or parallel? Second question - I...
