    Fairfield Barbershop vs. Solid Gold Beta

    Definitely amplifier dependent. I tried a Beta after finding some awesome reviews and sounds, but it didn't work for me. Not to say the Beta is a bad pedal, but it definitely has a blanket EQ, which may or may not be better than your amplifiers natural EQ, or the EQ your getting from the rest of...

    Body sealant?

    And thats legit? Its not going to affect how the wood "breathes"? I figured they would be using something a little more delicate, but than again, the original Fenders were painted with car paint... Does the body need to be sealed? Will it be alright if it gets sweat on it and its not sealed?

    Body sealant?

    Hey all, Found a beautiful 2006 Am Standard body in butterscotch blonde , unfortunately, someone decided to spray paint it black. I managed to sand off all of the black paint, however, I also sanded off the sealant in the process. How would I go about sealing this bass? Ill put up picture later...

    Best Ampeg 810?

    I tried one and hated it! Was just mud!... Unless thats what your looking for, of course (maybe it would be alright if you were playing pick or slap, or a really crisp SS head finger style). The Bergantino NV610 is smaller, lighter, & just as powerful- but clear, present and much more...

    Trying to find an amp that sounds like...

    or a mesa boogie 400+..... or one of those 200 watt "Mywatt" amplifiers- that would prob be my choice. That thing seems to sound great for the prog metal thang (sound clips meah---->Invalid Link Removed) Put it together with those 212s and possibly a thunderbird bass and I dont think you could...

    Darkstar P Bass Question

    So I recently acquired a Dark Star-ed P Bass here on the Classifieds. It sounds amazing, but seems to lack a little punch (in comparison to my Highway 1 P). What ever it lacks in punch it makes up for with many beautiful qualities, but I was wondering if the lack of punch is due to the...

    Gibson EB-0 Project and Mudbucker

    Hey all, Ran into an awesome deal for a vintage EB-0 project ('72 with a single mudbucker in the sweet spot) that needs the mudbucker and some hardware replaced. Does anyone make a legitimate "vintage sounding" mudbucker that I could use as a replacement? The DiMarzio is out, I want something...

    Tube Switch for Studio Time

    Hey everyone, I will be in the studio next week and am getting a bit of overdrive from my all tube SVT. I only notice it on the songs where I dig into the strings harder, but I don't really remember it driving as much as it is now. The Mid and Treble EQs are boosted like hell, so the volume...

    Wood on vintage gibson eb-3

    Best string for a really present, full and smooth jazz bass sound

    Alright guys, So I'm pretty new to the jazz bass thing. Having always playing P bass, I just played stainless rounds to help get more top end. With my j bass however, the "fullness" is more lacking, and there are alot of finger noises due to the extended middle- top end on the j p/us. What...

    Dark Star Vs. Jazz P/Us in 70 RI Jazz

    So I just got myself a Fender 70s Jazz reissue and it has a beautiful midrange. The lower mid register, however, is a little weak, and the guitar itself sounds a bit thin because of it. Would switching to Dark Stars help this out? What do these things sound like in a J bass (Ive checked out the...

    Trusted denver luthiers

    I've heard about them before- but how do they fair on work for electric stuff? I was under the impression they are exclusively acoustic guys. I guess neck work would be similar, but I also wanted to do some stuff to the guitar as a whole to "De-Mexify" it... If you will...

    Lakland J bass Pickups (Hanson DB J-4)

    SVT-410hlf or SVT-610hlf

    bummer that you cant get bergantino gear in europe!!!... I've owned a 410hlf and an 8x10 and they are nothing special compared to my NV610... Smaller, lighter, and it sounds the way an 810 should sound... Super tight low end, super punchy, delightful singing midrange with great highs- When...

    P bass deluxe pickup swap?

    Alright TBers, I am looking to swap a pickup out of a MIM Fender P bass Deluxe (active 3 band P/J pickups) in order to increase sound quality/clarity. I really like the sound of the bass, but notice a lot of differences in clarity between that guitar's pickup and my Passive American P. I don't...

    De-Active-ising a P-bass

    Whats up TB!! So I gots my self one of these, Invalid Link Removed and like it, but kinda don't like the active sound. Should I go about de-active-ising / passive-fising it? I have an American P that I love the sound of, but doesnt have that j pickup in the treble. Does this guitar get...

    sound distorted out of balance out. Help

    Try the ground switch on the back of your amp and try messing with the post/pre switch if ya got one. I dont really know my way around a b2 but I had a similar problem and we figured it out with a little effort. Also, check out the outlet you have the amp plugged into, many times wiring in walls...

    Fender Slab Bass

    I wouldn't necessarily go to all ends to get one of these because of the growl. I got a few P's, and I can get one in particular to really growl. It happens to be active, but doesn't sound like it for sure... just EQ it so that it has more output and it will growl for days... Damn I love that...

    Help finding this bass?

    I got a MIM P bass special 3 band eq and I love that bass. It doesnt switch to passive, but im sure you could get it adjusted to. The active P pickup settings are really nice. You can do ALOT of sculpting without making it sound too "activey". I dont know if you like that sound or not, but...

They require a much larger heat sink fixture to handle/dissipate power...
