I think so too, but what's the fun in that lol

I currently use a gk 700rb ii, and I love it but when I try other amps, especially class d amps(markbass, ampeg, genz) they just seem like they are missing something and I think I figured it out. They don't have the boost knob that my gk has. Now my question: I've never got a chance to use the...

Until I tried the ny 121 through my gk 700rb mkii. I was dumbfounded by the tone I was getting. Needless to say, I have a second one on order. It's nice that 2 of these are lighter than 1 of my cabs. This is a plus as well.

Anyone ever use the avatar 112s? I'm thinking about getting those

I would stay away from raritan bay, a lot of things they pass to their students. I was never satisfied with their work.

I'm pondering the idea of downsizing my current setup, which right now is a gk 700rb mii, and 2 avatar tb-153s. If I was to switch to 2 12s, what are my pros a cons? Has anyone made a switch to this type of rig? I love the beef that I bring with my 153s. The lows will dislodge your brain...

Here's my first video, just upload, please check it out and tell me what you think. It's Bruno Mars treasure, wanted to start with something simple to test the waters and figure out how to mix the songs and video together http://youtu.be/dM7psKZHl84

Anyone know of any luthiers or techs that are looking for an apprentice? Even someone to help around the shop? I'm looking into getting into building instruments. Any info you guys can give would be great. Currently a carpenter, I do know my way around saws and tools :)

My new G&L M-2000. I finally found that bass where I can dial in any tone I need.

I've played both, and own a usa G&L m2000. The tributes are IMO the best bass you can get at that price range. I'm just not a Warwick guy, I can't seem to get a good tone when I play them.

Not heavy a all. Just a bit to make those g string pops come through a little more. Thanks for all the input though guys, it definitely helped

I only bump the tweeter a bit, like a little less than a quarter, just enough to make my slap punch on the high notes. Now that I look at it it does seem like it's not important haha but there is a method to the madness.

Hey guys, I was never able to get my hands on a g&l pbass. And for some reason I've been wanting a pbass lately. How do they compare to MIA fenders(I know it's a loaded question) differences in feel, tone, quality, that sort of thing. How does the tribute version compare to MIM fenders? I'm...

My spector has a 16" radius, my g&l has a 12", both are very comfy. When I play slap style the 12 feels the best for those left hand ghost note thumps and bumps IMO. In regards to the sizes you asked for, OP, I like 9.5. Little more comfortable if you are moving around the neck.

G&L tributes. Best basses for the money in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice. I played upright bass for close to 8 years and within the last 2 years just got back into electric and building my rig back up so I'm basically clueless lol. I've read about guys bringing their own di boxes, bringing the higher quality stuff. Is that a good option to get...

I know nothing about a sound guys job so maybe you guys can give me some advice. I use a tb-153 and I use a little bit of the tweeter for my tone. According to how everyone describes these cabs, and I do hear this when there is a backlined bass cab, it doesn't color the tone of the amp being...

I have a USB 6 and it's collecting dust because it doesn't work with USB 2 and 3, I found this out way too late.

Rent a tube and record both, pick the one that sounds best for the song. That's what I did on my bands first ep. I don't have a link to the song itself but if you go to Link Removed and listen to "take it hard, take it easy" I recorded with an ampeg b15. The reason I'm saying this song is cuz it...

Hey fellas. I just need some tech savvy advice. I was thinking about doing YouTube covers and other types of videos but I do want to make it sound good, not just me playing to video cameras microphone, but the bass DI over the song. I understand that I need to record me playing bass, but what...

Next Monday, the 13th come check out my band, wake up paradise, at the wonder bar in asbury. show starts at 9, free to get in, drinks are cheap, and a few good bands are playing. It's good bass music!

The euros and the usa basses all use the same necks. That's why there's not much of a difference but better finishes on the top woods.

I was comparing their quality control and the actual value of the instrument. I don't care if there's 10x more players, pick up 5 usa jazz standards they all sound different and you're lucky if one of them is actually a decent bass. You're also playing for a high quality finish on the Spector...

Can I get an add, Howell nj.

I liked it a lot and I usually hate the way a low b string sounds on any bass(go ahead, get the torches, I know) you really can't go wrong at all for the price, definitely a great first 5er

The price break is how bad you want that blood wood top on a walnut body with a wedge neck and pale moon ebony fretboard. Hand carved from a tree that the Buddha once meditated under. The other thing to remember is technique and what you are playing through

For the record I just want to say that fenders in general are over priced. Especially for how unreliable their quality control is. This goes from MIA all the way to squier. My point being, there's a huge difference between the name fender and the name spector(for example).

I'm not a 5 string player BUT I will say the sub ray5 is absolutely a shocker of a bass. Very clear sounding, and great overall feel. I was very surprised at the quality at the price I saw(about 200 and change) and totally considered buying one.

I would go with the pbass, or a jazz bass(little more versatile) for the type of music you described. As far as the amp goes: GK all day. The new ampegs really are garbage compared to the ones that were made a few years ago. The gk combos are perfect for what you need and are at very good prices...

Standard P in lake placid blue, maple board with black block inlay and a gold pick guard. Tone rolled all the way off makes for the best studio bass ever. For me it's not versatile for what I play in a live setting. My problem is I do not trust fender as a company at all(and do not like the...

For me, and this is just my speculation, it goes from company to company and what the companies do during "the times." Personally there's a lot to be said about the quality of the neck build, as in how the frets are dressed and what kind of metal is used for the frets. Also, is it a quarter sawn...

can I say that I'm in? and so happy I play G&L now! Wish I found this company years ago

Just got a G&L M2000. Absolutely in love with it

I use a 700rb ii and an ampeg 810 also. The tone is so nasty! My guitar player uses a bogner through an orange 212 and its plenty loud, if your guitar player is too loud, def tell him to go that route.

Thanks for the info. I was reading somewhere that the cab needs to be dampened, I don't know if that's the word I'm looking for. Looks like insulation on the inside. Can anyone give me some insight to that.

Tomorrow the move is being made on a 15/6. Game time. More posts to come

How you play(technique and tone) and what you play(musically, note selections) make you a good musician and a good bass player. Having a good or expensive bass is icing on the cake. My back up bass for gigs is a squire affinity p bass and sometimes I'll use that as a main from time to time when...

I'm actually a union carpenter so building and cutting the cab isn't the issue its everything else lol, but my guitar players dad fixes and builds amplifiers as a hobby so he's gunna give me a hand with wiring it up so that shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I'm worried about is our music...
