    What is your Favorite IR Cab Sim?

    So what is your favorite IR cab sim, what kind of IR loader do you use, and how? Personally I use IR cab sims because I run an amp-less setup, it features several tone shapers, and a tube preamp both at the start and end of the signal chain, but right before the second tube preamp and DI I got...

    NBD Maruszczyk Madness

    So I was looking casually through the Reverb listings and ran across this beauty and I knew I had to have it. It is a Maruszczyk Jazzus 4 in sterling white metallic. I have heard nothing but great things about Adrian's basses but I have not had the pleasure of playing one. The quality on this...

    What's the intended use for a pickup cover?

    So, a Sunday Internet rabbit hole chase lead me to the page for the current production Burns (Marvin) Shadows bass. Very cool old school stuff. However, they list a chrome palm rest after the pickup description and there is a 3 bar skeleton pickup cover over the middle pickups. Is that the...

    Suggestions for Creative Use of a Non-functional/Redundant Varitone Rotary Switch...

    So...I just bought a new bass guitar online but the varitone switch seems to do absolutely nothing to the tone... ...it's not that the difference is too subtle, but rather that there's absolutely no discernible difference (to my ear) at all, between any of the settings. For instance, if I...

    Why are Zoom effects lists inconsistent?

    I don't use many effects in my band- I use chorus with a touch of reverb on one song, maybe a little octave if I'm feeling it, and a couple songs with a bit of atmosphere. I don't want to spend a bundle on effects, so Zoom seems right up my alley. I have a Zoom B1on. It really does sound good...

    I have a great arpeggio exercise I love to use that I use over jazz progressions, but I've struggled to come up with some great scale exercises.
