    Aguilar TH350 at 8 ohms

    So I've recently purchased a Barefaced Compact, and I'm looking into a new head as well. I played a TH350 through one of the Aguilar cabs a few weeks ago and it sounded incredible! I'm just wondering however, with the Aggie only pushing 175w at 8ohms, will it be enough with the compact? I've...

    Ashdown Little Giant 1000 channel not working

    Hey guys I've had one of these amps for about 4 years or more now, and although the gross overestimation of the power is irritating, it's been a good piece of kit. Recently however, one of the speaker channels has to stopped working. Now all I get from this channel is a hum. Could anyone tell...

    Custom finish on first project

    Thanks for the reply Bholder. I guess my real question is, at what point in the finishing would I be able to let people sign the guitar, and would I then just clear coat/sand/polish as usual?

    Custom finish on first project

    Hi guys So I've been toying with the idea of assembling my first bass from parts. I've been thinking about the finish I would like for the body, and came up with the idea of having a white background where people can sign until the finish is full and then lacquer over it. Does anyone have any...

    Most impressive basslines from "popular" bands

    Title says it all. What's the most impressive popular bassline you know? We'll define popular as something you wouldn't be completely shocked to hear on the radio.

    Getting into School of Music

    So in about 3 months time I'll have my entrance exam for the school of music in my area (Electric bass specific course). The exam is practical and theory. I need two contrasting songs which highlight my ability. This is a full-time college course and it's a dream to go there and get my...

    Horrible band name...

    The guitarist and I split off and formed a separate band, called "Over & Out". Not as bad.

    How much do you charge?

    I've just been offered my first paid gig. They charge like 3 euro entry so we get a portion of that, AFAIK. I'm not expecting much, it'll just be cool to get paid for once. Anyway, my band are recording a demo and will be sending it to pubs around the city in the hope of some bookings, so I was...

    Customized my Hoppus bass today...

    Sort of. A couple of months ago I came home drunk and found and old pokemon sticker book. In my drunken state, I thought that these would look cool on the pickguard of my Mark Hoppus bass. I was very wrong. After trying to get the stickers off for a few days, I looked into getting a new guard...

    "Custom" 1963 Gibson

    Invalid Link Removed Did Gibson really make these? Or is it the far mre likely circumstance that it is extremely heavily modified and has as such lost its value? Either way, I think it's got some pretty cool mods.

    Just to put things in perspective...

    I often see people on here complaining about the price of basses. Most of these people are living in the USA or the surrounding areas. As someone from Europe (Ireland), I have to say you guys don't know how good you've got it. Let's take an AmStd Jazz bass: Invalid Link Removed American...

    Signature/Artist series basses for semi-famous musicians: why?

    I meant that someones signature being on a bass would not be a deciding factor in a bass for a real musician - I don't care if my bass is a Mr.Blobby signature, if I like the bass I'll get it, if I don't I won't. Sorry for the confusion, I also own signature basses and I hadn't intended to knock...

    Signature/Artist series basses for semi-famous musicians: why?

    I wouldn't say Mark Hoppus isn't an icon. He is the face of pop-punk, and produces about half of all the mainstream rock music you hear today, as well as writing and playing on a number of famous tracks. Obviously, this means nothing to most people, but he has inspired a generation of people to...

    2013 American Vintage '74 Jazz Bass-YES!

    I just don't understand - People are delighted by the more "period correct" features and as such justify the price, but how about get a real one for the same money? It'll probably have a few more period correct features as well, such as being 29 years old.

    Bare knuckle pups

    So I've been looking at buying new pups for my cheap jazz. The guy in my local store suggested these. I've read the other posts but most of them have just been complaining about price. The store has them on sale for 120 euro (usually about 220), which I think is a fair price for good pickups in...
