    …and a few Ampegs. That’s so funny that he mentioned aquiring an amp from Dave Catching, who is just down the road from me. Aside from playing in the bands Earthlings? and Eagles Of Death Metal, he runs Rancho de la Luna recording studio, and I’ve sold him some stuff.

    Amp Head with Onboard Guitar-like Gain?

    I’ve been playing bass exclusively through an Orange Dual Terror guitar amp head and an Ampeg Portaflex PF-230 HE cab, running the gain nearly maxed out. Recently, I decided to transition to a dedicated bass amp to bring in some more focused low end. After poring over reviews and forums, I...

    NAD - Finally went the vintage route

    Quick question about string gauge and type for stoner/sludge/doom.

    Hey everyone, I currently own a 2016 Squier Affinity PJ that still has the stock strings on (I think they're 40-100, not sure), but they're getting rusty and I'm not sure what to replace them with since it's my only bass for the foreseeable future and I would like it to be a vesatile as...
