    NBD - Fibenare Fretless 5

    So, I had been wanting a fretless 5 for basically decades. My wonderful GF told me to pick one as a late Christmas gift, and this is the beauty I chose. All I can say is that it greatly exceeds every expectation I had. These Fibenare instruments are NO JOKE! They apparently make everything...

    NAD - GR Bass content

    I've been eyeing their gear for a long while now, but I finally pulled the trigger on my "do it all" amp. Behold, the NF 210V Combo 800. Not much to say except that I can't wait to carry it into its first gig with one finger. 😄

    Making a combo out of small cab and head (EA content)

    Hey all, I've been thinking about mounting my EA Doubler ii head onto a small cab (TBD) to make a combo of sorts. I know it's not that much work to hook them up separately at a gig but it's one less thing I'd have to do. Plus it's kind of a "hold my beer" thing for me. :) Something maybe in...

    NMPBD (mini pedalboard content)

    I wanted to put together a smaller, lighter pedalboard for IEM gigs, with quick setup/teardown in mind. This rig gives me a wireless instrument unit, complete with tuner and DI, plus enough effects to serve my meager needs. All powered by a beefy 9v bank - no wall plug needed! NOTE: Pro...

    Emerald City Council - Debut Single/Lyric Video (Prog Rock)

    I don't do this kind of thing a lot, but this project is pretty special. Music/lyrics/sax/keys by Brent Bristow (Music dept. head, Arkansas State University Beebe, and Yamaha artist). David Hungate's son, Noah, is my rhythm section partner here. Among the other musicians is vocalist Jake...

    I should buy this, right? No? Squier VM content

    Local to me - looks like a Squier VM 77 Jazz perhaps. An abandoned relic job... "interesting" appearance. :) But aside from the finish, the other parts are in good condition. $80 Invalid Link Removed

    OK - I should probably know, but who is this player??

    He only gets sporadic camera time, and at 3:43 there's a brief closeup shot. Fantastic bass work!

    Amps mounted on pedalboard for live shows -- show me your setup!

    Mods, please move if I'm in the wrong place. I have a standard 12x24 pedalboard with road case, and I've been considering making an all-in-one solution to make things easier for load in/out. Everything would be configured so that I could plug one AC cable in the side power inlet (already...

    Sushi Box Finally DI - No signal when switched to "pre out"

    Howdy, I powered up my pedalboard to record the other night and realized there was no signal output to my interface. The last thing in my chain is the Finally DI (which I really love BTW) and upon playing around with it I found that it was only passing signal when switched to the "dry pass"...

    EA Doubler II "fart" sound when playing

    Hey all, I recently found an EA Doubler II and Wizzy M Line 12 at Sam Ash and had to make them mine. They both sounded fine in the store, but when I got it home I discovered the head had an issue. I decided to keep it rather than returning it bc EA is no longer and these things are hard to come...

    Mini Gig Report - The Vault, Saginaw, MI 12/16, Matt Besey, Erin Coburn, Joanna Connor

    This won't be nearly as prolific and photo-rich as most other reports, but I thought I would share. Played The Vault in Saginaw with Erin Coburn on Friday night, supporting the one and only Joanna Connor (Google if you don't already know). She and her band could not have been nicer, and the...

    So, I wandered into Sam Ash a few days ago and see this beautiful, near-pristine EA rig begging me to take it home. The next day I go back with some trades in hand, hoping it's still there (and it was). This is my first foray into EA gear after GASsing over it for ages, and I gotta say so far...

    Opinion on specific FRFR/powered cab setup

    Ok, so I've done some research and I know most of the pros/cons of such a setup. I've been considering a smaller rig that's a little easier for load in/out and have always been intrigued by the powered cab thing, but know that there can be limitations. I don't really want to get deep into the...

    Tribute To Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly", 3/15/18, 3rd & Lindsley (Gary Lunn content)

    If you're a Fagen/SD fan, or Gary Lunn fan, or just a fan of some REALLY well-put-together music - do yourself a favor and watch. Gary Lunn, in particular, just crushes the tone and feel of the original recording IMO. Everyone just kills it. Holy smokes. :eek...

    Tube DI current rating & question

    MODS: Please move if wrong category! OK, so I just got a Sushi Box Finally tube DI and its current rating is 500mA for warmup, 250mA continuous. I don't have a dedicated wall plug for it and will be powering it with an under-pedalboard unit. Question is, should I use a 500mA output or will a...

    Hey all, First off, I freakin' LOVE my Alien Audio Lunar 5 and I could write a few paragraphs as to why. I have tried a few different strings since I acquired it a couple years ago (Pressurewounds, D'Addario NYXL, SIT Foundations). Although all of them had their respective qualities, the B...

    Hey folks, I just ordered one of these pedals, and I've searched the forums but there's not a lot of feedback out there. I know the Anadime Chorus from Providence is considered by many to be among the best, so I'm hoping for similar results from the compressor. I know that compressors can...

    NCD - FB find of the century? (Tecamp content)

    I'm (cautiously) very excited over this one: FB seller had a Tecamp M212 and stated there was a problem with it. One of the drivers would cut out when it was played at lower volumes but both would play fine at louder volumes. He thought maybe it was an issue with the wiring or the crossover. I...

    In recognition of TFF's Curt Smith as a bassist

    Friday night I attended opening night of the Garbage & Tears For Fears tour in Cincinnati. It was really an amazing show - both bands sounded as good as they did 20-30 years ago. One of the best shows I've seen in many years. I always knew Curt played bass, but I didn't realize how well he did...

    One Guitarist/Power Trio Pitch Shift Solutions

    Hi all, I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'd like to see what others are using to fill up space in a trio when the guitarist goes to solo. Specifically, something that allows me to keep a clean bass line underneath (no overdrive) but have a "powerchord" on top with a bit of overdrive...
