I've had my DSL401 for 9 months now and love it! Having never owned a "proper" tube amp before I was really impressed by the tone I could get out of it. For a 40watt amp it is plenty loud enough for most uses and with the addition of a second 1x12 the volume can be increased significantly...

After years of playing bass in a group and lugging round a bloody heavy 4x10 and head unit round I am now playing guitar onstage...I use a Marshall DSL 401 1x12 and when I feel the need I have another 1x12 extension I can use to pump up the volume a bit. It really makes the whole gigging...

Behringer make a splitter box that will do that for about £20, called the DI120 I think. Not spectacular but it would do the job.

I've got one and I love it. Like with any guitar just make you play it before you buy it.

Although I already have an HD24 I am thinking about picking up an ADAT and a small mixer to use for location/live work which I seem to be getting asked to do a lot these days...never paid of course but I enjoy it and I get in free! I have been using a Tascam 424 which was great to learn on but...

Bass: MIA Fender Precision Bass or a MIM Fender Jazz Bass played through a Torque 200 watt head into a Torque 4/10 cab. Simple yet very effective for live use, though I have yet to record satisfactorily from this set-up Guitar: MIM Fender Telecaster or an Epiphone Les Paul into a JCM 2000...

Be warned....a long time ago I bought a cheap bass to fool around on...it developed into a habit that has cost me thousands and has made neighbours into enemies!

I personally don't think you can go too far wrong with a Mexican Fender P Bass or Jazz Bass, and you are just starting out with Bass and want to save pennies the Squire Basses are excellent value for money, just make sure you play it before you buy it as the quality is more variable. The lower...

Have had mine for two months now, has opened up a whole new world to me.....so many tracks! What I really love is that it's so simple to use, even I was using it straight from the box! Some people complain that they are too basic but it does all I need and more.

Thanks for your response, still haven't made my mind up yet. The biggest problem I have is that unlike a guitar you can't just play it for five muinutes in a shop and decide whether you like it! I haven't yet bought any gear that I don't like but theres always a first time! Though I have sold...

Hi all, haven't been around here much recently but wondered if any of you would be kind enough to give me your thoughts on the BOSS SP303 sampler. As a gigging musician steeped in the rock and roll myth my music has always been quite simple....i.e. drums, bass, guitar, vox and a spattering of...

Obviously being in the UK I cant comment on the law in Ohio, but one word sprung to mind when I read your post...wait for it...its reallly exciting.....ready...OK....INSURANCE! Seriously though, you will need commercial insurance that covers you against damage to your property and more...

You could also investigate the Line6 Bass POD. I see a lot of them about these days, could fulfill all your needs in one. I should add that I don't own one, am just saying what I have heard...Iam thinking of investing in one though.

Obviously it's going to depend on what else you are running the signal through as well Preamp/DI etc. I actually use a Behringer Composer Pro for compression and I have been very pleased with the effect on my bass sound. It seems to be one of the only bits of Behringer gear given the time of day...

Though the Samson amps are clearly not pro equipment they are in my opinion perfectly adequate for the aveage home recordist (like me). I run a Servo 170 into a pair of Tannoy Reveals and it servers my needs just fine, perhaps a few more watts would be useful but living in a town you would be...
