Any thoughts on the Gibson EB-3? I think that actually might be the bass closest to the sound I want. It sounds a little on the dull side, but im sure screwing with the controls, and my use of a pick would probably negate that. Its a short scale, but has an incredible low end to it which is a...

P-Bass vs Rickenbacker 4003? Flatwound/Pick would be the setup regardless. Differences and opinions (on which is better) would be appreciated. Im a guitar player. Im good at bass, but Im not as knowledgable about basses at all.

Someone gave me a 50 dollar gift card to Best Buy, do they sell nice studio headphones?

How are the pickups on those vintage modifieds? I have a Ibanez Soundgear bass that was given to me. If the basses arent better than that theres no point in buying them.

My thoughts exactly. If it actually plays well when I check it out then Ill get it. My original offer was going to $850 and his asking price is $1000. You think I should go lower than that?

My original idea was a J-Bass/LaBellas/Pick. Thats the setup used on all the Mamas and the Papas records by Joe Osborn. I did find a Rick 4001 I might be able to afford and use the same setup on. Any thoughts on the vintage vibe squiers?

I checked out how to identify a fake rick. As far as I can see it's the real deal. What I did find out though is that its actually a 1976 Model. No idea where this guy got 77' from. Also, the neck pickup does look to be non-original.

Thanks, but thats not really the question. First, I really dont like the sound of new Rickenbackers, I dont care if it has a push-pull tone knob. Ill only be using the bridge pickup, and the fact that its older (but beat up a little) probably means its aged, therefore I get vintage sound, and...

I came across a bass in my local area for sale. Its beat to shit cosmetically (no big deal), but I have two concerns. First its in arcticglo with the black pickgaurd. Did they even make them in that finish in 1977? Ive seen tons of those for the 79's though. Also, The neck pickup does not look...

Bump. Getting ready to make a purchase. Really need a solid recommendation.

I need a new bass to record with and Ive bought a 1961 Casino, so now im low on cash. Im looking for a bass that would mesh well with that guitar, and my music. I play stuff with a 60's-70's vibe. I plug my bass directly in to my interface. Ill probably put LaBella flatwounds on whatever bass I...

My vocals are drenched in modulation and reverb in the studio, and I usually have 1 main vocal track and then 2-3 backing tracks to tighten up the vocal and just give it a nice sound and my music in general has a very vintage vibe. That live PA sound doesnt seem like it would blend well with...

Any thoughts on the Shure SM55's sound quality and nuances? Ive always liked how it looks, and I hate actually holding mics and having them pointing right at my face. Thats why I never really wanted to front a band, I just feel awkward left standing alone with a microphone.

Sennheiser HD280 Pro, Shure SRH440, or Equation Audio RP-21? Those are the three Im choosing between. Any thoughts? Id consider spending the money on a more expensive pair if I got enough recommendations on them.

Bump. Short on time and Id like to get some more opinions.

In an attempt to one-up all the seemingly same rappers in my area who flood our venues and make following up with a small acoustic performance impossible Ive decided to take a page out of their book and sing to my CD which has all my songs in their fully vamped forms. All the venues Ive played...

I hate when people get uppity about certain effects and certain things like "no good bass player plays with a pick". Im in the realm of pop music, and if a fart sounds like its going to be a hit ill record it, AND if adding enough reverb to make it sound like its in an aircraft hanger makes it...

Bump. What about the Equation Audio RP-21? Ive read that in terms of flat response these are some of the best for the money. Has anyone used them?

I know you should mix with monitors. I have a fairly cheap pair. But I my only pair of headphones broke so I cant really track or anything now. When I mix Ill switch between headphones and monitors on the first go around, and then for the rest I just do monitors exclusively to fine tune...
