    Some Notes Disappearing in the Mix

    I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but it's about basses, so here goes: I've been noticing something lately at band practice. Whether I'm playing my Jazz or my Mustang, when I play on the A and D strings near the nut for a tighter sound, the bass seems to disappear in the mix...

    P Bass cutting out when moved

    Hi all, I have a weird problem. I bought a MIM P-bass three years ago, and I've had problems with it since I bought it. Of course, now, it's out of warranty. The problem is: the thing works and sounds great at home, but when I throw it in the car to take to practice, when I get there, it cuts...

    Formula E - The cutting edge of Electric Vehicle technology

    I think this is super cool. All the cars are aerodynamically identical and use the same batteries, so it puts a huge emphasis on gearing and powertrain design. So Formula E is innovating technology that's trickling down to street cars. But the fan boost is pure BS. Winning should be about the...

    Cost cutting or market positioning?- Or do some folks just like it?

    With a few minutes to kill, passing the local GC I stopped in to explore a bit. They had an MIA Elite Jazz bass there and I wanted to become more familiar with it. It felt nice, as it should, and surprisingly not much unlike my 2010 MIM 5-string jazz bass... Up a few basses away were two new...

    Ultra Thin Hole Saw for Cutting Covers?

    Hey Folks.... I tried using a 3.75" hole saw to do some grain matching covers. Unfortunately, the cutting walls of the hole saw were standard size, which is quite thick. I think a lot of the hole saws available are not designed to provide a thin cut. Additionally, the hole saw was not very...

    New Amp, Volume Cutting In and Out

    So I just recently got a brand new Fender Bassman 500. It's been awesome at weekly practice for the past 5-6 weeks. However just this last Thursday, it started dropping out a little bit...and then it came back in and seemed much louder than before. This was while playing a song so it was hard to...

    Speaker Cabs are not cutting it with new GK MB500

    So I have a dilemma of sorts, New GK MB 500 is highlighting flaws in my speaker cabinets. Previous heads, Musicman 120B and Ashdown MiBass 2.0 sounded OK but lacked power for some of the new efforts I am supporting. I tested my new GK at GC with Mark Bass 4-10 and it sounded awesome Here's my...

    Incident: bass cutting out at last nite's gig

    Hey all, we've been gigging once or twice monthly for the past year... mostly been feeding my active Spector into a GenzBenz Shuttle 6.2 with a NeoX 212 GB cab. In the past I've always kept the gain down pretty low on the amp at about 9-10 o'clock, & the master slightly higher. Lately I've...

    Acoustic B300HD cutting in and out after several minutes

    I bought it at Guitar Center yesterday. It will work fine for a while. Then it will start cutting in and out. I don't have it cranked. The minimum load is 4ohms. My Genz Benz cab is showing 7.1ohms. When it starts doing it, I can turn it off and back on and it will function normally for a while...

    Fender Rumble problem-sound cutting out

    Hi. I am looking for a little insight into a problem I am having with my Fender Rumble 500 combo amp. When I plug straight into the amp with my passive Fender J or P basses I love, love, love everything about the amp. But occasionally, I will put a Boss bass overdrive pedal before the amp input...

    Markbass 121p strange issues

    Hey y'all I usually just creep around with the search button but I believe I have a problem that I don't think I've seen posted about yet with these bitter sweet 121p'. My amp is a few years old (5 or so) it gets a lot of PT. My first problem with it was the whole power supply issue where it...

    Cutting String Slots In Bridge Saddles...With A Little Manual Metal Shaper

    As you've seen on my other threads, I'm a hopeless machinery junkie. I collect and restore old antique woodworking and metalworking machines, and use them to build my basses. I also enjoy building my own specialty machines, for those special operations that I need to do. In this case, I found a...

    Question on headroom, Cutting through the mix.

    Hi all, I have a Thunderfunk tb750 (750 watts) and I am driving two Fender rumble 2x8 cabinets. I had a gig last night and I have also noticed this in rehearsal, my amp sounds great and loud, but once the band gets into full swing, It feels like the tone is very compressed with low definition. I...

    YBA200 cutting through the live mix

    I've read a couple of similar older posts on this, but I wonder if there are any new thoughts on this. I'm having trouble getting my Traynor YBA200 cutting through the mix. My starting point is to keep the mids at full and cut way back on the treble and bass. Scoop is off. Bright is off. I'm...

    Flatwound cutting query...

    Hopefully, without stirring a new debate: Short Scale bass (Epiphone Allen Woody...)... ordered a set of Chromes via M.F.... SOMEHOW (operator malfunction or weak link) they're sending Medium Scale strings. I've read the debates about "never cutting" vs. "never matters"... So: how bad's it goin'...

    Well, the kiddo is turning 16 soon and will have her driver's license. Called insurance to get a quote, and even with the discounts she's eligible for, we're still facing our premiums more than doubling! The wife and I have knocked around the idea of canceling cable, going with an HD arial...

    (Active) Peavey TL-5 sound cutting out

    Got myself a real beast of a bass, couldn't be happier... When it works. Occasionally (much more often lately) the sound will crackle, which sounds just like when you wiggle around oxidized pots, and then fades into silence all without me touching anything except playing the strings. I think I...
