Thanks to everyone who turned out. We had a great turnout (over 100). It was a great day. If you didn't make it this year, be sure to come next year. Dan

My understanding is that as of January of this year all final assembly is back in the US. Dan

The M6 with a couple 8 ohm cabs (4 ohm total load), is louder than anything I'd ever need. Plus, it will handle a 2 ohm load. As a reference point, I play 5-strings and really like the headroom of higher wattage amps. So I'd usually vote for more watts than less. That said, with enough...

Thanks to all of you who attended the Rocky Mountain Bass Slam. A great day of bass, for a worthy cause, and some lucky attendees won an MTD Kingston Saratoga bass and a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 amp. All the performers were great! I had a blast, and the highlight of my day was getting to meet...

Here's another endorsement for Robin. Fantastic player, and a great guy too. Dan

You really need to play them all to form your own opinion. I've owned an Ampeg SVT in the 70s/80s, and currently have the GK and Mesa in stock at my store. All are great amps, but dfferent for sure. Tweaking the EQ can go a long way, especially if you assume all knobs at noon is flat. (e.g...

As an example, I'm hearing July for the MBE 210 Series II cabinet, with a MAP of $349 (vs $299 for the original). Dan

The new amps are not available yet. Just talked with my Mesa rep today. As soon as I have some new concrete info, I'll post an update. Dan

The 410 is a great cab for those heads, but always listen with your ears for signs of distress. I wouldn't call it a light cab at 72 pounds, but it is quite a bit lighter than some other competing cabs (example: and Aguilar DB410 is 98 pounds).

Colorado TBers please come to the Rocky Mountain Bass Slam on Sunday, June 10, at Jammin' Joes in Arvada from 1-6. Giveaways include a Genz Benz Amp, an MTD bass.. and a NEW BASS to get in the hands of a child who is dealing with serious illness or other significant life challenge. The...

Great job! Everyone who plays bass needs to know how to do a basic setup. Tools required are minimal, and there's no lack of resources on the interent and YouTube for what to do. I've been showing people who come in to my store who need some simple stuff done how to do it themselves. Many...

Mike is indeed chambering some bodies: http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2011/12/15/custom-shop-an-interview-with-mike-lull/ "We’re chambering our alder bodies to get the weight the way we want it to be, which is coming in at about seven and a half to eight pounds. Some are a little lighter...

Here's the basics: Mesa Bass Prodigy Four 6L6 Power Tubes and three 12AX7 Preamp Tubes, Class A/B. 2 power options via a Full/Half Power Switch (4 power tubes = 120 watts or 2 tubes, = 60 watts). Fixed Bias for maintenance free performance. Controls are Gain, Active Bass, Passive Mids...

Volume wise too close to call. GK might be a tad deeper and the TC more mid present (not that the GK is lacking in mids), but pretty much splitting hairs at that point. One or the other will appeal to people with different tastes. Dan

I just bought one for my store from the rep to try one out and see about carrying the TC Electronic line (Disclaimer: I run a retail store but am not officially a TC dealer yet). I gave it a quick run through, and compared it side by side with a GK MB115. Similar specs and price point at...

Q: How many basses do you need? A: One more than you have ;) You only live once...get the P. Dan

All my personal, cell, and business numbers are on the no call list. It doesn't work. They call and play with the caller ID so often you can't even find out who they are. Visible.net did leave a real phone number, so I left a message for the rep there...we'll see if he calls me back. It...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the phone company switch scams. They call pretending to be "customer retention" for my current phone provider. I'm assuming someone actually responds to these types of calls, otherwise they would stop. It is kind of annoying to pay for phone service only to have...

Any other small business owners completely annoyed by cold calls selling stuff you don't need? And they call your published business number and your cell number? I get numerous calls every week for the following: 1. Merchant Services (credit card processing). They all offer rates about...

WOW! Two really great tunes, and great recording/production. The bass playing wasn't bad either;) Dan

MBE210 Cabs are still in stock other places...you just need to know where to look ;) Dan

+1 on the Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones. Only around $100, but great headphones for bass and recording/mixing. I've got a set of these in one of my demo rooms for use with an Avalon U5 - great way to hear the real sound of your bass (and your playing!). The earbuds, on the other hand...

Thanks to everyone who attended the Frank Russell / Norm Stockton clinic last night. We had a great showing, and both Frank and Norm said it was one of the best clinics they've had. Guys like this will always put on a great show, but having an attentive and enthusiastic audience always helps...

Glen Campbell with STP doing Wichita Lineman. Solo on the Dano at about 1:58:

Eastwood makes one: http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/ Sidejack Bass VI. Fender has reissued the Bass VI in a Japan made version in the 1990s, but fetching higher dollars. The USA Custom shop version is really pricey...

Hey Bill, Thanks for stopping by the shop today. It was great seeing you as well. Bring the cabs by when you get them and lets have some mix-and-match fun. Dan

WOW! Really stunning, nice work on this. Dan

Will do. As Rita's old apartment (she just moved because of the theft) was across the street from my store in a very nice suburban neighborhood, it has made me much more aware of the threat of theft. Yes, I have insurance, alarms, motion detectors, cameras/DVR, etc., but if the bad guys...

I've just posted the photos on my Facebook page (Premier Bass Guitars | Facebook) Dan

Remember I posted about Rita's stolen drums a few pages back? RITA'S DRUMS ARE FOUND...by a Talkbass member! Thanks to Talkbass member "Kit829", Rita is getting her drums back. Kit829 was looking for the same drumset stumbled on a set on the Music Go Round website. She knew that there are not...

Thanks to Kit829 (see her post above), who was looking for the same drumset stumbled on a set on the Music Go Round website. She knew that there are not many Genista sets around, especially in red sparkle, so she replied to Rita's CL ad and called me at the store. Thanks to Kit829, Rita's drums...

Thanks for the help Karen.

Your domain name for your website and email need to match. You can acheive that several different ways. If you own the domain name "mybandname.com" your email should use that as well. Dan

You can host your email on gmail and then setup your domain name to point the mail service to gmail. That way your domain name will be used for both your website and your email. Plus you can access gmail via the web or your favorite email app or smart phone via pop or imap. Dan

I'll keep an eye out for the Carvin (thanks for the heads up Woody!). Dan

I've found that on some basses (not all), that running the volume below 80-90% can change the tonal characterstics (e.g. less treble, or whatever) sometimes significantly. In general, I run the volume on the bass at about 90-95%, so that it leaves some room for minor tweaking if needed. As...
