Update! I took it to the store and it turns out it had a defective neck. So they are shipping me a new one!

Hey guys! So I recently bought a brand new Ibanez SRFF805. Absolutely love the bass! But I have realized that there seems to be constant fret buzz from about the 9th fret to the 12th fret on all strings. I noticed it when I bought it at the store, but didn't think anything of it because it...

Thank you all so much for you suggestions! At this point, I would have no problem buying some books and going that route. I'd rather not pay for traditional style lessons, but I'm certainly not totally opposed to it. There are certain techniques that I would really like to learn (such as...

Thank you so much! That sounds incredible! I actually have an older keyboard and I've always wanted to sit down and learn my way around it, so your suggestion sounds like it may kill 2 birds with one stone! Thanks so much for putting me on the right path!

Hey guys! So I've been playing bass for about 15 years. I'm 100% self taught and I would call myself a pretty good bassist. Certainly nothing special, and have incredible room for improvement! I've played in punk bands, metal bands, folk bands. My current band is a metal band, and I recently...

Perfect!

thanks guys! Both cabs are 4 ohms. The 4x12 is listed at 450 rms and 900 max. The 8x10 is listed at 1200. I assume thats the max, but I can't find the rms, so i'm guess more around the 8-900 area. My biggest concern was whether or not the BX500 would be able to push that many speakers. But I...

Thanks for the fast reply! I love the high end sounds from the 8x10 and the 4x12 has lows the 8x10 could only dream of! It could be a really great combo! The 8x10 is right around 1000, according to the specs, but more likely closer to 800. And I'm pretty sure the 4x12 is around 500, but I'm not...

Hey guys! I have a Carvin BX500 and I love it. I've had it for several years now. I've run it through either a Carvin RL810t or a peavey 4x12 bass cab, I think its the TVX? What I wanted to know is if any of you guys know if it would be safe to run both of them at the same time. The head is 2...

The downside about keeping it standard is that I'll have to relearn all our songs. And I really don't want to do that. I think I may try to do a drop b tuning. Keeping the low b standard, and tuning the rest of the strings up to match. That should harmonize with the E and SHOULD work. As long as...

I'm married, so I've been playing with the dusty end for years!

Hey guys! I'm sure it's been discussed, but I can never find anything with the search bar. So I'm in a metal band and my guitarist recently got an 8 string and we've been jamming in drop E (so he just drops his f# to e). Now I know dropping a bass that low is not only really tough but sounds...

Hey guys! I am looking for a string through Epiphone bass bridge like the one pictured. I recently picked up an 80s or 90s Epiphone bass. No model number but I'm pretty certain it's an accu bass. I got it for $50. The only reason I bought it was because the guy put a badass II bridge on it. I...

thanks guys! I appreciate your feedback and will probably pass on the amp. sound wise, which is better to you?

anyone?

I really appreciate all your responses! I think I am going to go with the Earasers and hope they are my perfect plugs!

hey guys! I know there has been a lot of talk about this amp but I found one locally with a wireless system and I think an 8 space rack for $250. here is a link to the ad, [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] What do you guys think? good deal? or just pass on it? I have a Carvin BX500 right now...

good job reading on my part :sorry: I might look in to them a bit more then! Thanks! Any downsides to the alpines? Budget wise, im not gonna swing for custom made ones because I'm fine with the ones I have, I just want to see if there is something better in the same price range.

Just looked those up and their website says they have the same sound characteristics as the previous style.

Hey guys! I'm trying to find the perfect ear plugs. I have used the typical foam plugs, high fidelity plugs from Menard's, etymonic and dubs acoustic filters, and they are all just ok. They all cut out way too much of the highs so all I can here are drums and my bass. Has anyone found anything...

Quite good quality, considering that it has been through 2 floods, dropped down a flight of stairs, slid down several flights of stairs and been dropped out of vans/trailers SEVERAL times. It has been extremely abused since I bought it brand new. Then I ran it with boosted lows while in drop A...

Actually yes they are. They sell others but also the same that were put in the redline series.

I'm using a Carvin bx500 head.

Also, roadranger, what are your thoughts on the acoustic??

I imagine they are failing because I have beat the crap out of the cab and never taken care of it in the slightest. And you are probably right. I love the tone but haven't tried any other cabs. Well I have a 4x10 hartke that is a friend of a friend's and has been at my house for years but sounds...

Thanks guys! The carvin speakers are $50 each, with shipping, I'm only at 350 to replace the 6 that I haven't already replaced. I do love the look of the full stack of the 8x10 so the only cab I've found that is similarly priced it the acoustic B810, but I've heard very mixed reviews on it. Are...

Hey guys! I have a Carvin RL810 that I've had since about '05 and the speakers are going out. I've already replaced 2 and another one is starting to buzz pretty good. So now I am trying to decide if I should just go ahead and replace all the speakers or get a new cab. And if I decide to replace...

Hey guys. So I tried to do some searching but was having a hard time finding anything. I am in a metal band and we usually down tune to A (so I tune AEAD). My guitarist just bought an 8 string guitar (more just for fun than to actually use for the band) and we were going to tinker around with it...

Excellent! Thanks a bunch guys!

hey guys, so I have been running my fdeck series 3 for over a year now and love it. I recently bought a 2x15 cab becuase it was too good of a deal to pass up. I am running a carvin bx500 and it doesn't have high and low frequency outputs, so I was wondering if I could take the hpf from the...

I started on bass and then picked up guitar also just for fun. I don't think it will really help with bass a whole lot because you play them very differently. It might help your speed a bit but that's probably it. On the other hand, I usually write songs for my band on guitar and then go back...

Id go with the ampeg cab. If you've already got the SVT3, get the ampeg cab to match.

That's awesome! By far my favorite bassist!

I'd go carvin. I love their cabs and will probably always stay with them

I run a 4 ohm cab and love it, but I have an 8x10, so odds are, I won't be adding a second cab. The downside to having a 4 ohm is that if you add a second 4 ohm, you are now running at 2 ohm and a lot of amps won't handle that. With and 8 ohm, if you add a second 8 ohm, then you are at a...

This is exactly how I load my 810. I don't have an ampeg, I have a carvin and it is MUCH lighter. I have used ampeg 810s in the past and I would hate trying to go up/down stairs on my own.

I say you play the show. Cancelling a show looks much worse than having one guy miss a few notes on the keyboard. turn him down a bit, don't play anything that you have doubts on and rock out and make people happy!

tell us how much!

The fact that it comes with the the recording software and the pod farm is what gears me towards it. I know what in an old band I was in years ago, the guy that we recorded with used the pod farm and the UX2 as the main plug in, but different recording software and it sounded really good for...

Hey guys, sorry if this has been talked about before but I tried searching and I always have a hard time finding anything on here using the search bar. I have been interested in picking up the UX2 for a while now, but my current computer won't be able to handle it, but my wife and I are...
