    Why is 3D filming back?

    I just don't understand it. They probably had a good reason to stop it in the 60's, 70's or whatever, so why is this crap back now? Like movies weren't bad enough already...

    Mostly wood vs. mostly not wood

    Good comparison here for those who wonder how weight is distributed in a bass. Of course this could vary a bit from model to model, but interesting nonetheless... For those not familiar with metric system: 2.66Kg = 5.85 pounds 1.15Kg = 2.53 pounds

    My friend's bass orchestra making off

    My good friend Rena (the girl with the ponytail) just sent these to me. She and her friends joined forces to start a "bass only" orchestra, which I think is pretty nice. The orchestra is called "Caçarola Orquestra de Baixos". Here's some videos of their work, there's a bit of talk and a...

    Please compare some 1x12's if you can

    I've been a bit curious about this and some folks might be willing to help. I know the older HT112 very well and this should be the reference speaker. I've tried the HT112ER a few times and really liked it. Question: How would compare these to the original HT112? - HT112ER -...
