    Snagged an Ampeg SVT-100

    It seems like threads about the SVT-100 only pop up every 5 years or so, figured I would post one since I just bought one today! Traded a SLM-era BSE410H cabinet + $300 for it. VERY happy with it so far! Nuts and Bolts: There seems to be extremely little information about these online, at...

    Gibson-style String Mute Compatibility with Modern Bridges

    Personal context: I absolutely love basses (and really any instrument) that has some quirkiness to it, even at the expense of effectiveness, ergonomics, efficiency, etc. Along these lines I particularly love basses that have mechanical muting devices installed, specifically the Gibson-style...

    I guess my gear is taking the scenic route...

    Not sure if anyone east of the Mississippi has seen the following message on Sweetwater: But when ordering some gear recently to be shipped here to Denver, I thought to myself, "Sweet, Phoenix is only like 12 hours by car, shipping times are gonna be really quick now!" But then in tracking my...

    Squier Neck-Pocket Dimensions (Rascal HH & Bass VI Specifically)

    Does anyone happen to know the neck-pocket dimensions of the new Squier Paranormal Rascal HH/Squier Bass VI (assuming they're milled the same)? I'm thinking through the idea of picking one up, finding a long-scale neck that will fit, and shifting the bridge back to make it a 34" scale bass.

    Question about Gator Pro Series Rolling Rack Case

    Model in question: G-PROR-4U-19 Does anyone know the dimensions of the rubber feet on the bottom of the case? That is, how far they are from each other, and the edges of the case? Context: I have an older SKB molded rack-case that houses my power-amp and a furman power unit. I play it...

    SVT-410HLF: Impressions and Experiences

    Upgraded to an SVT-410hlf a few weeks ago and after about a half-dozen gigs with it, wanted to share my thoughts on it. Current rig as played: Ampeg SGT-DI going into a QSC GX5 power-amp, pushing the SVT-410hlf. Tone-wise I go for a vintage Ampeg tone; think Allen Woody but with a bit less...

    1U sliding rack tray/shelf recommendations?

    I'm looking to add a 1U sliding rack tray/shelf to my rig. Specifically one with ventilation holes/slots so that I can use some velcro ties and keep all of my amp-related cables inside the rack case itself. Everything on Sweetwater or from music-related brands are stupid expensive... I'm...

    Moving to a power amp setup, need some guidance!

    Long story short, my bass amp gave up the ghost last night, and since I would always bypass the preamp and just use the power section (driven by a VT Bass and more recently an Ampeg SGT-DI), I figured I would just get a rackmount power amp. I'm currently looking at the QSC GX5. I'm drawn to...

    For Sale MarkBass Super Synth (Gen 1)

    Clearing up some space on my pedal board to make way for some upgrades, and decided to part ways with my MarkBass Super Synth pedal. Pedal comes with power supply, but no box/manual/USB cable; I bought it used w/o those included, so I just don't have them. Pedal is in VG+ condition, with very...

    Fretted notes going in-and-out of tune [crosspost from repairs forum]

    I recently picked up one of the limited trans-violet 55-02 deluxe basses that Lakland did for Sweetwater. I'm having a bit of an issue with fretted notes going in-and-out of tune... I know the instrument came PLEK'd, but I did double check the setup (relief, p/u and string height, and...

    Moving from humid to arid climate, how to protect my basses?

    I'm getting ready to move from Charleston SC (100% humidity all day er'day...) to Denver CO, where there's considerably less humidity. I'm fully expecting some fretboard shrinkage, but what should I do to prepare my basses for the long drive out west? Loosen the truss rods and strings...

    Baby come back! You can blame it all on meeee....

    It's always magical when a bass you regrettably sold finds its way back to you... I sold this bass a few years ago to help pay for another bass, and regretted it from day 1. Earlier this year I messaged the guy who bought it (on another site) asking if he still had it and was interested in...

    FedEx cracked my headstock...

    I know this isn't the most uncommon of injuries for a bass, but I need some help in terms of how to handle this. Long story short, I have a '78 Ibanez lawsuit P that was shipped to me, headstock is cracked but not separated. It's definitely on it's way to being completely torn off, and I can...

    Rough sketch, lounge-y jazzy stuff

    http://soundcloud.com/fro_tone/fromance Finally getting around to some recording. Not complete or polished in the playing, but a good sketch of the song thus far. The drums are just a loop for now until I hammer out what I want. I'm also going to add in some organ work and extend a few parts.

    Testing my Fender knowledge on Craigslist...

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] This guy claims to have a 1970 P-bass, all original except for the pickups. Some idiot threw in some EMGs... First of all, the wood looks like Alder to me, not much of a pronounced grain to it. Didn't Fender reserve natural finishes for basses made of Ash...

    Mic'ing the F-hole on a hollowbody bass

    I was fiddling around with my Lakland hollowbody late last night, just playing it acoustically. I really really enjoy the sound I get just coming out of the f-hole and it got me thinking... Has anyone ever mic'd their hollowbody bass? Either bypassing the electronics altogether or maybe...

    MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe, my first impressions

    Got my new MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe the other day and had some time to play around with it, figured I'd give y'all my first impressions of it. It's a whole different world from the Micro POG that I've been using for the past 2 years or so. I'll try and give my impressions thus far, but there...

    12volt AC Cable for EHX Wiggler and the like

    Anyone know of a 12volt AC cable that can be used with a power supply like the T-Rex Fuel Tank to power 12v pedals like the Wiggler? Has the weird split-tip: I know a possible solution is to get like a Voodoo 2+ and just use the AC jack on the back for the wart... but if I can, I'd...

    Been told I HAVE to play out of a Yorkville DB400... any thoughts?

    We're competing for a spot on the main-stage at the St. Patrick's Day festivities in 5 Points, Columbia SC. For the "contest" we've been told we absolutely have to use backline equipment provided. So I asked what that consisted of and was told the bass amp will be a Yorkville DB400. I've...

    EHX Wiggler on Bass, Impressions

    Got my EHX Wiggler in yesterday, figured I'd post a little bit of a review. Clips will come in a few days, just haven't really had a chance to get any lately. First off, anyone who owns any of the tube-based EHX pedals knows... these things are HUGE and built like tanks. And upon plugging in...

    Modifying an EHX Wiggler for Expression Input

    I'm a big fan of the EHX Wiggler vibrato/tremolo pedal, I think it can cop a rotating speaker sound pretty well (at least at a better price point than a few other options). However, I don't really like it's set-and-forget nature, particularly with the rate knob. How difficult would it be to...

    EHX Enigma + Expression

    Does anyone make use of the expression input on their Enigma? I'm wanting to give it a try, except I find it incredibly impractical that there isn't any kind of switch to turn the expression mode on or off. It just seems like once it's plugged in, you're stuck in that mode until you unplug it...

    Watts on older SVT-3 Pros?

    Has the wattage of the 3-Pro been bumped up in the past? I saw a posting on a local craigslist for an Ampeg head rated at 300w but with a tube pre. No pictures, no further explanation. I can't really think of what else it could be than a 3-Pro... Any ideas?
