    New music on Myspace!

    This doesn't really belong on this forum since most of the music are solo geetar, but fear not! It is a 30" 8 string guitar tuned down to E, so you can look at it as a kind of weird short-scale bass! :) The reason I am posting it here is because I am really a bass player and I am using this...

    Avatar 410 neo vs. Ampeg SVT 410HLF: Help!

    I forgot to mention that I own a Avatar and uses a ampeg 410hlf at our rehearsalspace. To me that is two different worlds! I belong in Avatarland. When all comes down to it, it depends on your own preferences. What kind of sound are you after? What amp is gonna power it? What kind of music are...

    Avatar 410 neo vs. Ampeg SVT 410HLF: Help!

    IMO, the Avatar sounds fuller, richer and more powerful AND is cheaper. The only "advantage" I can see in the Ampeg is the muddy rock tone that you wont get from the Avatar.

    Amp / Cab slight mismatch HELP

    I do not know much about this, but I think it will only be a problem if you either play at very high volumes or use a lot of distortion of some sort.

    MTD Kingston Z6 Drop In Replacement Pickups

    Delano or Nordstrand pickups. Glockenklang preamp. Or maybe Nordstrand preamp. Delano preamps look nice too!

    Soap Bar pickups - any ideas?

    I like bartolini for heavy sounds, but if you are going for a little more versatile sound I can recommend Nordstrand and Delano.

    I played a concert with my 210 and 212 neo cabs for the first time last night. They sounded great. We play some funky pop music, and the cabs suited that genre perfectly. A massive wall of sound with a lot of clarity on the low B. We played really loud, but the cabs did not show any sign of...

    The Official Show-Your-Basses Thread Episode 6 (The Undiscovered Country)

    I wish I could say I could play one, but I don´t. I have used it for some easy laidback standardtunes with only stick and vocals. It sounds absolutely great in that context. I have also used it in some experimental metal music. Here is a old photo of my "power trio" Chaos. I play bass, stick and...

    "OFFICIAL" SWR Mo' Bass Club

    The headroom in the internal amp idea makes sense. The synth effect has a noticeable higher output than any other effect in the unit. I do not believe the lack of volume will be a problem, but I am always a little worried when I have to turn the amp up to eight or more.

    "OFFICIAL" SWR Mo' Bass Club

    Both the cabs are 4 ohm. I run them in stereo from the amp or just the 410 in bridged mono. The power handling of the 410 cab is 1000w, and the 212 is rated at 500w. I am planning to change the tube as Alembicplyr did since I am not totally happy with the drive effect.

    This is not near as beautiful as the other rigs here, but I am very happy with it. I got the cabs this friday and they sound great. I also think they are pretty beautiful in their own way with the white tolex.

    SX (essex) Bass Club part 3

    It actually feels pretty similar. I am (as you may understand) no guitar player, but my guitar playing friends say it feels really good! I bet it is the same as the SX basses. They feel pretty similar, and sounds close. But they lack the little extra (which can be fixed with some modifications).

    "OFFICIAL" SWR Mo' Bass Club

    Hi I have owned my Mo for about six months now. I am pretty happy with it, but I would think a 900w head would produce more volume than it does. But when it all comes down to it, I do not need more volume than it can give me (yet). Head Rig

    I have not tried them at any high volumes yet. I have a gig next friday where I get to break them in good! The 410 has a much stronger and tighter sound. When I use them both, I only feel I hear the 410, but when I use the 410 alone, I loose a lot of the low end character that the 212 brings to...

    Amazing looking bass that sounded/played poorly?

    Saved up for this bass for a while. But when I got it I played it for about two days before I gave up and went back to my old bass. It was too sloppy and loose sounding. Not tight sounding at all!

    First build(s), Twin six strings

    Did the scarf joints today. The fanned scarf got me thinking, but I think (hope) I got it right. I have also worked some more on the fretless fretboard, but I messed up using the planer. I will probably have to redo the whole fingerboard...

    First build(s), Twin six strings

    No the fretless will be regular 35" scale. I thought about it for a while, but settled on the regular since it would be hard for me to play in tune since I have little experience with multi-scale instruments. But it would be cool with a fanned fretless!
