Repetition ad nauseam.

Simple, pure, and solid built! Ibanez's are some of the best "beginner" gear. I believe 200's have the "Bass Boom" knob, making it "active electronics" (still with passive pickups). 190's were pure passive and one less knob.

Are you sure you are using an instrument cable from your bass? Not a speaker cable.

I always know that my pick has been in my pocket. I don't know where my fingers have been.

Not a serious endeavor, but I am/was in a duo we call "The Johnny Cash Cover Tribute Band", paying tribute to (a few of) the songs that Johnny Cash covered. We played a couple open mics with this format, and still occasionally do. They are now in our general repertoire, and sometimes gets played...

Orange Amps Micro Terror Guitar Amplifier Head - White - Rare | eBay This is what those things look like with the cage protection taken off. Edit: realized he is talking about Dark Terror, not Micro Dark.

You said he is giving full refund - but you are not sending it back? If he is not asking for it back and giving full refund, I think he did it. And this doesn't look like just a "hacked repair" to me, it looks more like a "hacked mod". Correct me if I am wrong, but where's the tube in that tube...

Im in favor of name-and-shame, but that probably is against the rules. You said he was listed as "commercial user" here on TB - I would report this to the mods to make them aware of their games. "Commercial user" implies he makes a full living on reneging on deals just like this. Maybe, you...

Has anybody noted that the wood or least the veneer looks like spalted maple? Isn't that fungus? I believe I have read in these forums that dealing with that is nasty. (If not spalted, please ignore.)

Intonation compensation. See The Compensated Nut which happens to be a very timely and excellent explanation.

Is there a balance control in the system, and if so, do the pickups go straight to that? If so, it probably takes both active and passive. Everything past that balance control needs to be valued for active. There is a real good chance you can just swap the pickups.

No, you cannot use those passively, no matter how you wire them. They need a battery.

Guitar Fetish does have active pickups with dip switches that do exactly that. Not extreme tone shaping, but db boost, and what I guess is essentially a low/high boost (resulting in a mid scoop). REDactive EQ Switchable P Bass Active pickup black Case-RL1 is an example. It's been done, just not...

Test

As a lot of people have said, there is a very wide range of pickups with a wide range of tone from EMG. I believed the "harsh", "brittle", "sterile" reputation they had until I started experimenting myself. To my ears, HZs seem to live up to that reputation. DC, CS, P soap bars got progressively...

Ibanez AEBs are decent. Keep the stock bridge (or replace if the previous owner shaved it), use acoustic bass strings, and add the DAddario O-Port. Im heard over 2 guitars with no amp.

4 ohm minimum is for the whole load, both output jacks combined. Correct, two 4 ohm cabs would be 2 ohms combined. And, also correct, this would be bad for your amp.

The only place it may sound thin is during guitar solo, when the guitar isn't playing the wall of sound chords. Aside from pedals like reverb or chorus (or even distortion) to thicken your sound, try to hit root-octave or root-fifth-octave power chords on the downbeats of the chord changes (if i...

Invalid Link Removed Not sure which side you said is broken, but instead of dealing with individual components, you may consider replacing the whole module. Edit: the left module is also available there.

I have a LH500 in my closet with similar symptoms. This video and his comments may help, if you know how to find and test the components he replaces before engaging in actual replacement.

Ibanez part 4KB1JH3R. You can try directly with Ibanez, but it says "Discontinued". Drums Etc Drums Etc. has an amazing stock of Ibanez parts, and I have used them before, but this knob number doesn't get any results in their search. I had to replace one of those exact knobs about 10 years ago...

And later in the movie after Nigel leaves the band, the band discusses how the keyboard player will play Nigel's bass part for Big Bottom. One of the many running gags!

My condolences. RIP Chef.

I just realized the instructions file from EMG is named phz_instructions_non_exposed_poles_0230-0266_rf.pdf.

Yes. Sound is consistent from (close to) one edge to (close to) the other - the size I expect a blade to be under there.

Is it possible the difference between Geezer and PHZ is one is poles and the other is a blade? EMG states both are alnico magnets, and the instructions do indeed have exact measurements. Unscientific test, but I just moved a screw over a set of EMG P (active), and it seems the magnetic field was...

Double check your wording. 2 ohm jacks should be two 4 ohm speakers for a total of 2 ohms (or one single 2 ohm speaker). Probably what you meant, but not what you wrote.

Balance, Master Tone, Master Volume could be a simple three knob solution at the expense of not having individual control of volume and tone for each pickup. Neck Volume/Tone stacked, Bridge Volume/Tone stacked could give you a two hole solution and an extra hole. Stacked tone (one level for...

Put a D'Addario O-Port in the thing, and quit filing down your bridge. I'm heard just fine with two acoustic guitars. I hate the hate this site brings to acoustic bass guitars. O-Port Acoustic Sound Enhancer | Accessories | D'Addario- (No affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.)

Sometimes, when the band is hitting so right, and I am grooving right along and get lost in the groove, and thinking man this is such an awesome groove and then I realize that _I_ am part of making that groove and in order to keep it grooving I need to pay more attention and start counting...

Water weasels. Seals are the puppies of the ocean.

Wasn't trying to put you on trial, and apologize it came out sounding as an attack. It took me three or four readings to figure out the sequence of events and facts. I just wanted to be clear, and hopefully clarify to others because most of this thread is arguing about a bass that is not the...

So I think I figured out this riddle... OP purchased a bass from a 3rd party seller via an online auction and sales site. OP is currently attempting to get a refund from said seller, and case is pending. OP sees this other bass from same seller, which appears to have been converted from a...

Everything TransilvaniaE says. Even though the HA2000 was the entry level, it still has the true tube preamp channel. When they remade it into the HA2500, they dropped the tube, but still tried to have a "tube like" channel. Bi-amp wasn't on the lower end models, the HA5000 has that.

3 pages in and no one has said anything about "sanded a bunch of frets because the neck was ramping"??? What do you mean the neck was ramping? This is probably the root of the problem. Was that even addressed directly? If you are working around that, that will leave a bad taste in anyone's...

That did cross my mind, but over 20 axes and I'm on crutches means that "trusted" person also needs to be generous enough to load them all up both ways! Without the DEET in the fogger, I am just going to cover up the case-less ones with trash bags.

Yeah, you just reminded me that DEET is known to melt plastics and some synthetic fabrics. I guess some finishes have similar chemical compositions to plastic to be effected. I just checked the box, no DEET, it has pyrethin instead. Quick searches show that this does not have the same effect...

We are going to be doing a bug bomb in our house, and wanted to know if I should worry about my basses and guitars. I don't have enough cases for all of them. Closed closet? Garage (in this heat?)? Trash bags for the ones not in cases? I don't want to close off my whole music room, as I want the...

Does that second bass say..."incest"??? Please tell me that some horribly stylized name logo that I am misreading. TBH, I am much more disturbed by that than the spray paint.
