Definately my old behringer "180" watt. No where NEAR 180 lol

Thanks for the input guys! the bass is brand new out of the factory, and i bought it online at musiciansfriend.com. i'm a little hesitant to try to return the bass, seeing as in my excitement, i changed the strings, put on some stap locks, and i went and peeled that weird plastic film off the...

so i just got my brand new MIM p bass, and i absolutely love it!! only thing i could possibly be less than ecstatic about is how my tone pot seems to be either on, or off. it seems that it's either full bright, or totally mellow, no in between. in fact, if i play a note, and turn the knob, i...

so what is, and how do you "ground" one's pickups? to be completely honest, I do not know much at all about pickups, just curious as to what that means :D lol

I was down at Guitar Center, looking around at amps, and one of the salesmen started talking to me. I asked him some stuff about hybrid amps with a tube preamp and a solid state power section, and he told me that these types of amps are more or less gimics, and that if you want that "tube"...

Pretty much. When your playing with your band, I'd try to concentrate more on what the rhythm guitar is doing, just because sometimes the lead part doesn't exactly carry the rhythmic foundation of a song in most melodies or solos. Also, it seems to me that in this situation, you are the rhythm...

Ok, so I was messin around on musiciansfriend recently, and i found this! i was just gonna ask if anybodys seen one of these before, and what they think of them!

yeah, my mistake on the initial wattage, i was referring to the cab, because it is rated at 450 watts at 8ohms (the 2x10 version in the portaflex series). But yeah, the head is rated at 500 watts at 4ohms, and 300 watts at 8ohms. I think one of the best parts of the cab is how you can throw...

yeah, i did just get the new rig, which is why im trying to be so careful ;) but the only reason i ask is because i simply wanna experiment with the tone i get when i really push it. Also, when i say "peak point", i mean the point to where the head is distorting by having the gain up, and...

I run a solid state head at its peak point consistently? I know if you do that with a tube head, eventually your gonna hafta replace tubes, but what will happen to a solid state head? the specific head im talking about is the PF500 from ampeg. its pretty much brand new, and i love this amp...

ok, so I just brought home my first legitimate rig, that being an Ampeg Portaflex, with the PF500 head, and the 2X10 portaflex cab with HF horn, and oh my goodness, I Love this Amp!! :hyper::hyper: It sounds amazing, gets LOUD, and the head has all the features and buttons I could want. the...

i HAVE 1,600ish, but i would like to get out as cheap as possible at the moment, i have a behringer ultrabass 1800 combo. 1x12 speaker, says it can do 180 watts, but im not so sure of that... and we are playing contemporary christian stuff

Ok, so Ive been playing bass for about a year now, and I've got a really great gig lined up in the near future, however I have a problem. The amp I have is SEVERELY underpowered, especially for this venue (which is a good sized band room with PA to plug into). Also, in the band I'm playing...

not so sure myself, but what i can say is that dood is hairy!! :D

ok, so i was talkin to a fellow bassist a while back about basses with really thin necks. he thought thin necks are great, but he told me that putting flatwounds on it might bend the neck a lot, and make it to where i might be readjusting the truss rod an awfull lot. is that true?

Dood, yes! haha i don't get to play bass at my church, just drums for now, but i get to meet a phenominal bassist there, and comming from a drummer, playing with an amazing bassist makes my job just that much easier!! :hyper: Oh, and before sevices me and the bassist get to sit around and...

Does your amp have a padded input? if your running a passive bass through a padded input, it might could effect the volume level. Not sure tho, don't have a lot of experience with passive basses, so if i sound like an absolute idiot saying that, my bad

there also should be something on there about John entwistle. I believe hes from "the who"?

I've heard before that neodymium speakers don't sound as good as standard speakers [whatever they're called ;)]. How are they different, and what would make them sound "not as good"?? :ninja:

I had a hard time getting to the bottom of this thread, the drool was making it hard to scroll down XD

lol u wanna see some funny faces?? check out the drummers in marching band! some of the funniest stuff in the world happens there!!

thats the problem, i really don't have a decent music store that carries the basses im lookin at, ya know?

I feel like i'm pretty happy with the tone I already get, but I am playing through more of a starter bass, so i guess if i get a nicer bass (which hopefully will happen in the near future) ill start to hear the differences.

Ok, so Im thinking that I might be investing in a new bass, and what ive narrowed it down to is either an SR 700 or 750 from Ibanez, or a mexican j or p bass from fender. I like Ibanez because it seems they are more suited to more types of music, but Ive heard so much about fender, that im...

Currently i only play with my thumb chillin out on my neck pup, and it doesn't move regardless of which string im plucking. Ive heard that its a good idea to let your thumb drop to other strings so that the angle your fingers are at doesn't change. Is it really worth it to learn this...

hey, As far as your recording questions, there is this really great audio interface from tascam that goes straight into your computer via usb. Its pro quality, and all the ratings for it are great. Its only about 60-70$, and it comes with a version of audacity you can install to your mac or PC...
