Thanks for the feedback. From what I've read, these units perform at least four functions - they serve as a direct box to change the impedance of the signal so you can jack it into a PA system more appropriately, they provide equalization, they provide modeling technology to artificially change...

So, you're saying that the main difference between an "acoustic guitar amp" and a clean electric guitar amp channel is that the electric guitar amp will have a little more midrange energy? That's useful to know. While I don't have an EQ pedal, I do have a spare 31 band rack unit (by Rane) that...

Fender's got some interesting P-90 equipped guitars out, now. Personally, I've really been leaning toward a semi-hollow or chambered guitar with P-90's. Fender has the TC-90, which is a semi-hollow double cutaway with Duncan P-90's. That one has a single F-hole. There is also the new...

Thanks. That's an idea. I did plug the Ibanez into the SansAmp when I was experimenting with different sounds. It sounded pretty good, actually, but I just thought the Traynor sounded better. Of course, I should mention that the SansAmp that I have is NOT the Bass Driver floor pedal, but the...

That would be cool. But I'll bet it would be tought to find a band that plays only the beginnings of songs, to be your opening act. :rolleyes:

I have recently been playing in an acoustic trio. Although I perform most of the show on bass, I have also been switching over to acoustic guitar for a few songs. I recently bought a cheap, used acoustic/electric (an Ibanez AEL-20E) which has a piezo system built-in, for use on the acoustic...

The only problem I can see with that approach is that, if you play the song like that in the wrong places, it could get you beaten up! It really IS "The Redneck National Anthem." They not only think every band should be able to play the song, they expect you to show the proper respect, too...

Good point! I suppose it would have to be "Gimme Two Steps," wouldn't it? You know what's scary though? I can actually HEAR what a polka arrangement of that song would sound like in my head. And I'm telling 'ya, it's pretty disturbing! :eek: It reminds me of the time that I stepped into...

Nice score! I think you'll be happy with the AD50. Is the OLP bass that cheap knockoff of the MusicMan bass? If so, then I think you'll really like that, too. If it even captures 90% of the tone of a real MusicMan, then it'll sound very nice, indeed. There is a real problem with...

Very well said. Yeah, I'm going to agree with Scrubs (and just about everybody else that's replied here.) Both the magnetic soundhole pickups and the piezo pickup systems (which fit under the bridge) are designed to help you amplify the acoustic guitar so that it'll be heard in a live setting...

A couple of others that seem to be real popular requests would be "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers and "Aimie" by the Pure Prairie League.

:D :D :D Yeah, I can picture that. Those people don't care WHAT kind of band you're playing in. I'm sure that, if you go to a Schustenfest (sp?), you'll see some drunk guys up by the stage yelling to the polka band "PLAY SOME SKYNYRD, MAN!" Oh God. Now, I'll probably have nightmares of a...

Well, it's not exactly folk or blues, but EVERY acoustic guitar player should be able to play at least two or three Eagles songs. (In fact, I think that's a law in most states.) Also, you should learn how to play the acoustic intro to Stairway to Heaven. Preferably, you should learn to play...

No, it's not. The two pickup Urge bass that you showed us has a Jazz/Jazz pickup configuration, not the P/J configuration on the bass that is the topic of this post. Neither does the Urge bass have the Telecaster Bass-style pickguard. The only similarity is the dual concentric control knobs...

I think you've confused it with the Robert DeLeo signature model, which is made by Schecter, not Fender. I used to own one of those in a five string model.

Well, actually, no they (Fender) DIDN'T make a bass like this. The more I look at the picture, the more I'm convinced that louloomis is correct. It's a Hamer, or some other cheap, quasi-Fender knockoff, with a Fender neck attached. As I mentioned before, the Fender model that it is closest to...

The AD30 is a good call. However, for a bass amp I'd recommend . . . well, actually, I'd recommend anything at all over the Behringer bass amp that you mentioned earlier. Look for a used Peavey or Fender. There are zillions of them out there, so you've got a pretty good chance of finding one...

Well, the problem is that it's pretty much impossible to tell you whether or not either of those pickups will sound "good" to your ears. I have a guitar player friend that uses one, and he's somewhat satisfied with it, but he is still planning on upgrading to a nice acoustic/electric as soon as...

FNA Jazzman OH YEAH! I bought a five string FNA Jazzman about a year or two ago. You're going to LOVE IT, man! ;) It's become my main "go to" bass after many decades of being primarily a Fender Jazz guy. It fits in with almost all styles of music, sounds good through any amp (and it's the...

Cool bass, man! While they might have called it a "P-bass" in '98, I think it's really an early version of what is now called "The Zone Bass." These are basses that Fender designed to offer more modern features than their regular Precision & Jazz models. The term "P-Bass Deluxe" usually...
