    Bass Amp Recommendations

    I'm just playing 4 string p bass's at the moment in standard tuning, but my friend plays a 5 string active schecter in a metal band. I took it over last night to their practice and it did better than I thought it would. He regularly maxes out a fender rumble 350 and my acoustic cut through...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    It's not really that heavy more bulky than anything, but I haven't moved it around a whole lot yet. As far as a limiter I haven't pushed it hard enough to find out. lol at half volume i'm over powering everyone in the band. It is plenty loud and the tone does't get distorted with volume unless...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    Thanks again everyone for the advice! I found out that it had been cutting off at random, so I had to pass on that amp. I wound up buying an Acoustic B200 and I love it so far. It is plenty loud for what I use it for and has a great tone.

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    Well I've found a very nice used Peavey Mark VIII Bass Amp with the foot petal and matching cab. It appears to be in great shape and even has the original covers. Guy wants $325. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, but I don't know what it should be worth. Any input would be great!

    06 MIM P bass Bridge saddle problems

    Thanks for the advice! never thought about loctite! It really is a pretty good playing bass now that I've had some playing time on it. I was just over-venting my frustrations lol. I pegged the strap buttons with toothpicks and now they are solid! I don't jump, or sling this thing around but the...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    The more research I do the more stuff I want to buy haha. I've never played with bass pedals much but after looking on youtube the VT really opens up tone options and gives a fuller sound. I may have to get one of those in the near future. I'm going up to Guitar Center within the next few days...

    06 MIM P bass Bridge saddle problems

    I've recently picked up a used 06 mim precision and the wood fit and finish is great. But the hardware on this thing is literally falling apart in my hands lol. I was just wondering if anyone is having the same problems as I am. When I carry it around in a gig bag the bridge saddle screws...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    Thanks for the great advice everyone! This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. I'm trying to take my time to find what I want/need. I would've hated to have bought a smaller watt amp only to get home and wish I'd have spent a little extra.(agree 100% as to keep upgrading gear as needed) So...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    Well the guitar players don't use half stacks and our drummer doesn't play hard enough to crack symbols lol if that helps. We've got a small Peavey pa that we can line out to if need be. Plan on using the house pa's if we needed more power than that. I've been looking at the Acoustic B-100...

    Bass Amp Recommendations

    Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right place. I've been playing bass in a classic rock/country band for a while and we're getting good enough to start playing shows. Knowing little about amps I was wondering what size amp I should buy to play small bars? And if anyone had any...

    recording help for a newbie

    I'll look into some software then, seems like the easiest way to start. I appreciate the advice on the R-16 It is an amazing piece of equipment for the money and we will probably upgrade to that later. Thanks!

    recording help for a newbie

    Thank you for the input and great advice! As for budget, we don't have a set amount. We're just looking to buy something bare bones to try the water so to speak. Later on as we learn more and feel more confident possibly upgrade. The Zoom R-16 looks like a great piece of equipment with lots of...

    recording help for a newbie

    So i'm a total newbie at digital recording and don't know where to start. I'm in a classic rock/country band with 2 guitars, a drummer, and myself on bass, and sometimes keys. We have a pa and I'm wondering if I can just run a line out to the pc and buy some software or is there more to it than...
