I have a Washburn USA Custom Shop bass with the Buzz Feiten system, and it is always in tune and the intonation is great. It came that way from the factory, so I don't know if it's the Buzz or if it's just a well-made bass... probably a bit of both.

SWR makes some great sounding acoustic amps - the California Blonde and her little sister the Strawberry Blonde. These amps sound fantastic. I don't think they have mic inputs, though. Carvin makes a little acoustic amp (100D?) that has 3 channels - one for acoustic guitar, one for bass, and...

These days I mostly use my DAW for practice / learning. Cakewalk + cheap guitar/bass modeler + acid drum loops = ultimate composition machine. I am able to experiment with a wide range of things and compose very quickly. I can try all sorts of things that I'd never be able to try with other...

No, a speaker out is going to be carrying power to drive the speaker. It may use a 1/4" connector, but it is not the same signal or cable that carries an instrument or line level signal.

If your band has a PA you can mic whatever amp you have.

Google is your friend. Looks like it was made in 85-86.

Mesa makes a lot of great amps that cover a lot of range. You're missing out if you assume they're all for nu metal. I have a Mesa/Boogie 1x12 combo that will crank out sounds from gritty "alt.country" to saucy blues overdrive. Metal is one thing it will not do.

You could probably get some pinstripe tape from an auto parts store...

You could try an octave pedal like this. It doubles each note an ocvate below.

Also, over time the sweat and oils from your body will slick the finish where your hand and arm rest on the guitar. My satin-finish Seagull is 10 years old and well worn. You can tell that it's been well loved, and people notice that when they see it. It gives the guitar character and...

Leave it alone, live and learn. I think it is slick not because there is cleaner on your finish, but because the cleaner took some of the finish off.

Never get rid of gear you like. ;)

Last night I increased the input sensitivity, as described in the previous post, and it solved the problem. I turned it up until it started clipping when I slapped the E string, and then backed it off. It ended up only being 1 "dot" or two higher than the default, but that was enough. Now I can...

Badly organized, and full of junk like this: Nonetheless, I have read the whole thing.. cover to cover.. twice. There is no way to adjust the S/PDIF output level, other than the volume knob on the preamp part of the unit. There is a way to adjust input gain, system wide, so I'll try playing...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've got a real S/PDIF cable and the Delta clock is set correctly, as you described. I've got a workable signal once I turn the preamp master all the way to 10, but am used to tracking with the signals 6-10 db hotter than that. Are you having to turn up the volume on...

I am connecting the Bass V-AMP Pro to my Delta 66 via S/PDIF and the levels are very low. For most of the presets, I have to crank the preamp volume (2nd knob from the left) all the way up to get the peaks around -6 db on the Delta. The rms is still between -18 and -12. I think the signal going...

I have a Whine-O from Snarling Dogs that I get good sounds from.

Dave Schools is a monster.

You can't stop the hum.. single coil pickups hum.

I have it and like it a lot. I get a decent clean bass sounds going direct into the pres and inserting a compressor. If you are only recording bass, though, you might look at the POD and VAMP products.
