I just picked up a classic vibe 70s jazz bass (in picture) and am extremely happy with the quality. I've had other squier instruments in the past that were also great but this one just feels different. Played it alongside "better" basses and found it was the same if not better than higher priced...

Thank you all! I grew up playing guitar and picked up the bass in college. Played bass in an indie rock band while getting my master's degree, but that was about 7 years ago now haha! Overall probably 3-4 years of solid experience and recently started picking it back up again. My journey with...

Coming back to TalkBass after a few years. Just picked up a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass and a Rumble 25 for practice. Love the tone out of the small package for sure!

Get ready for lots of practice time. You really have to love music to do it. Everyone goes in with the intention of doing it because they love it. But some people get burnt out because they may have to practice songs they don't want to learn or work with musicians they don't want to work with...

I was thinking about that too. I really don't have a problem with my amp but I would like a 4 ohm cab to get full power. For now, I may just upgrade my cab to save myself some money.

Thanks for the input everyone. Lots of this stuff is exactly what I was thinking I just wanted to hear it from fellow TB'ers

Thank you I was hoping I wasn't the only one that thought it was ridiculous haha

What I mean by this is a full tube preamp and full tube power section. I will be upgrading my current set up soon to a better amp and cab to get more power and a bigger/better sound. A friend of mine plays through an Ampeg SVT-CL and I know that this is one of the best amps out there. But he...

just got a sweeper recently and love it.

I'm looking for a pedal that I can use to boost my tone. Not necessarily an overdrive type pedal (although it can have that option) but basically something that just gives my signal an overall boost. I've done research myself and would be considering the Xonix RC booster or possibly the Aguilar...

I was wondering about this. I just tried it with mine (I had one sitting around because I used to primarily play guitar). I dialed the distortion all the way down the level all the way up and the tone around noon. Actually got a pretty good driven sound out of it. may try it out in my loop and...

Looking for overdrive suggestions that would pair well with my M80.

That's what I was planning on doing anyway and that's what I figured. Just didn't know what difference the sound guy's DI box made and if the M80 would do something similar.

Hey guys I had a question about using my MXR M80. First of all let me describe the situation. At my last gig, the sound guy used their own DI box. Basically I plugged my bass into the DI box and then he used a small patch cable to plug into my amp, then the XLR went out the back, into his PA...

Thanks for the input everyone. Lots to consider

Cool thread! sign me up for the club please!

bump

I would like to join as well please! Here's some pictures from my last show.

Hey all, I was interested in purchasing the Big Muff Pi. However, I wanted some input from your experience. When it is on, does it produce a significant noise or hum? I'm wondering if it is too loud. Otherwise I would want to purchase the big muff deluxe with the built in noise gate. Also...

May I have a number as well please? I own a Yamaha BB5000, I believe it's 1986 but not sure on the exact year.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. To answer some of your questions, price range would be anywhere from $600 to $900, looking for a 4-string, leaning more towards the P side.

Hey all, I own and have been playing on a Yamaha BB5000 for the last five years. I'm looking at new basses and have always been interested in Fender products because I have a couple Fender guitars. I play lots of rock, funk, indie and blues and was wondering if you all had any suggestions on...

Ya I was wondering about this too. I have a decent rig and it really is a great value for the price of my head and cab. some of my band mates are pressuring me to get a bigger cabinet. But every venue always does a direct out with the XLR so i'm going through the PA and their monitors. I...

Last gig my band had we had a little over 250. we've played gigs with as little as 20 though and although it's a small crowd they are still alot of fun. We play college towns where we all went to school (Iowa City, Cedar Falls, Ames) so we get alot of draw because we appeal to that crowd. But...

CACTUSSSSSSSS How do I join the club!?

Definitely reading sheet music would help. Even if you have to start off with a beginning book or beginning songs it will still help you familiarize yourself with your instrument which is an integral part of being a musician. Also, learning scales and what notes go into each scales. Start...

Hi everyone. I was googling around for reviews on effects and lots of talkbass threads were popping up. I've been playing bass for about 5 years now but have never heard of the site. Glad to be hear as everyone is very helpful!

Thank you all for your input it is much appreciated! Wish I had money for both right now but I may have to wait to add the Big Muff later on.

Thanks for your input! I'm looking at some new distortion pedals and would like to get one with a built in noise gate

Pros and Cons of each. I've looked at some reviews but would like to hear it from a few more of you!

Thanks for all the responses everyone. This really helps!

Hey everyone. I've been playing bass for a few years now but have never dabbled in effects. Do any of you more experienced players have suggestions for compression pedals? Any reviews or anything else would definitely help. Thanks in advance!
