Heya all! I am currently eyeing up amplifiers and such for basically the foreseeable future, and was wondering what the general take would be for my potential pick. I am wanting to have a more portable rig - as much as I'd love to invest in an SVT-CL or something of that ilk, it's just not...

I am a relative newb here and I am hoping this is the correct forum (Mods: I promise no rule infraction intended). This seemed like the right one. I have this song, which a wrote a few years ago, that is driving me to distraction. It needs a "choir" of background singers (I'd like to get a...

To any luthiers or people who are smarter than I am, I’m getting a 1961 EB0 but I’m Going to put a bridge pickup in it with all the controls of the EB3, will I still be able to have the original wiring of the EB0 by just adding the wiring for the controls that are not on it? Or will it all have...

I've been playing for about 2 years, using a Yamaha TRBX174 through a Rumble 25 8" combo amp. I just recently picked up a used Schecter Diamond Series Elite 5 at a great price. Me and my friends are starting a band, so I need something that packs more punch than my current practice amp. We will...

Hey all. Having issues with Milky, the drummer in my band. It’s mainly rooted in personality clashes but disguised as creative differences. Regardless, his attitude is really starting to piss me off. Any constructive solutions would be welcome but to be honest I also just want a good whinge...

Alright so I got a new amp and cab setup. The amp is a Fender Bassman 300 and the cab is a custom built cab from a builder in MA. It is an oversized 15'' cab that was designed specifically for this head. I got this new rig yesterday and I used it at practice today. The sound is awesome...

First off, please excuse my ignorance. That said, I have a GK MB500 head (500W @ 4 ohms, 350W @ 8 ohms), an Acoustic B115 cab (250W power handling) and an Acoustic BN210 cab (600W @ 8 ohms). When I have it connected in parallel, the head switches off after playing a bit. I was told at a local...

I bought a Stingray 4 HH earlier today. The bass is terrific... so many more tonal options than my USA Jazz... but it has been put together badly and I'm thinking it will get even better if I can figure out the 5 way switch and the maker of the preamp that has been so poorly installed. Though I...

Hi all, So I'm several years late to the GT-10B party, but so far, loving it.... I've got one question regarding the A/B channel selector. In theory, I can have a flat tone for A and kick in (for example) an octave on channel B.... all the while on one patch. The assign parameters work, but...

a couple years ago I found a company selling a bass of a really different shape. The finishes where in metallic flake, and they also made guitars. They had a couple different body shapes. What In remember was they weren't that expensive, and I thought it would be a fun bass to have. Now I cant...

After building a fearful 12/6/1 I got the soldering bug and I'd like to try my hand at wiring up a passive onboard preamp. The signal chain will be: (Blend only works when the pickup selector is in the middle position, or both pickups) Control layout: I'm needing some confirmation on...

Any assistance in identifying this instrument would be appreciated. The measurements below are approximate. 71 1/2" - Full Height (bottom of body to scroll) 43 0/0" - Body Height (bottom to shoulder) 41 1/2" - Scale Length (nut to bridge) 19 1/2" - Upper Bout Width 25 1/4" - Lower Bout Width 29...

Wasn't sure whether this should go in Live Sound, Recording or somewhere else but here goes. A few months ago my wife let me turn a spare bedroom into a rehearsal room. The wife OK's a rehearsal room! Currently it looks mostly like this... ...except that now the PA speaker and mixer seen in...

Hi all, I rbought a Schecter bass six string and I like a very very Tripoli sound. Because I play a lot of slack. So I will typically leave the EQ controls on flat except for the highs. I will turn those up on the way. Thing is, I do get a pretty nasty 60 cycle hum. If I move the base around...

Do these look familiar to anyone? They came on a bass I purchased earlier today, and I'm somewhat perplexed as to what they are. I've never seen (in person) a set of round wound double bass strings. But I know someone decided it would be a good idea, so here I am. Looks to be metal-wrapped on...

hi ! i really need a metal , kinda melodic song in which the bass is the main instrument , something like beyond creation song , i'd be grateful if you suggest me some! p.s : i know its a stupid post , but im really desperate to find a song like that....... my band asked me to find a song with...

I ran across a craigslist posting this morning for a jazz bass. It is advertised as a 'Fender Squire Jazz Bass.' I didn't give much thought to the squier but decided to check it out anyway. It doesn't seem to be a squier to me but rather a MIA jazz bass. However I would like if someone with...

hey guy , im a extreme metal bassist and my primary bass now is an ibanez btb676 nt with bartolini pups ,which I bought used and played it for 2 years. lately ive noticed that the pups are not as good as they used to be, but no major problems , no one even notices...... i've got an opportunity...

Ok, so I have this really nice 03 MM Fretless jazz. Im noticing the V controls do very little til about 85% up then its boom, its a big difference from loud to nothing with little turn of the knobs. Also the tone I get out my amp seems farty, and if I really dig in and play a hard not OMG I...

I need help identifying one of my favorite set of flats so I can purchase another set. They use blue wraps, have a shiny finish, and have a bright top end. I appreciate the help. I through on a set of D'dario chromes without thinking and it was nowhere close to what I was looking for.

Greetings, 1. Orange: OCB410 with two speakon inputs (600w / 8 ohm) 2. Hartke: LH500 with two 1/4" 8 ohm outputs Question: How to hook-up this combo? Run both lines 1/4" to speakon + 1/4" to speakon? Or, just one line: 1/4" to speakon. Which would be the optimal config? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys! What are your thoughts on this pedal? I am strongly considering getting one, since they're only about £40. I've heard the enclosures are quite shoddy but how do they sound? Will the lack of true bypass be a massive problem if I do not have it on by board all the time? What are your guys...
