    Traben bass guitars... Thoughts?

    Just looking for meat world opinions on these. I'm looking at this un... Array Limited - Traben Basses only in a 5 string. Seems like one of their claims to fame is the size of the bridge and how it affects tone and sustain. Anyone play one of these? What were/are your thoughts? much...

    So I'm looking at modules and triggers...

    Particularly the Alesis DM10 with some triggers. Not that I know anything about this module... just reviews and that Alesis seems to have a pretty good name. I'm looking at live application as well as tracking. I figured I'd leave my kit miked up so I'd still get my hi-hats and cymbals thru...

    New kick skins...

    So my family chipped in and got me new skins and I'm having issues with the kick. The batter is the Superkick III and the reso is the Resonator. What I'm wondering is...since both skins have built in muffling type rings, do you think that's messing with my tone? I've tried batter just past...

    A question about pickups..

    So a friend of mine asked me what it meant, and what the difference was, with split coil pickups and series/parallel pickups. I told him I didn't really know but assume the split coil was basically just splitting a humbucker down to single coil probably by a push/pull knob and the...

    Another 57 VS 58 question...

    Salutations my fine non-feathered friends. :drunk: Our band uses a couple of 57's, a 58 and a Beta 58 for vocals. I'm finding that the 2 57's are always lower in volume than the regular 58. I can see the Beta being louder but the regular 58 is set to the same trim and fader positions, same EQ...

    guitar cables = hiss ??

    So I've been running my Vox ToneLab SE between my bass and my head (GK if it matters). Lotsa hiss when I crank it. Took the Vox outta the chain...ran straight bass to head....better but still a lot of hiss. Unplugged the bass and just cranked the input gain and the master volume all the way...

    speaking of the studio floor....

    OK... My jam room is in my garage...concrete covered with carpet. I know that a hard floor is better than carpet but I also live in the high plains desert. Which means it gets damn cold in the winter....which is why I put carpet down in the first place. The concrete got pretty damned cold on my...

    Adam A7 + Yorkville sub...

    Greetings fellow humans... I'm still having some translation issues but it's mainly coming down to bass now. I don't think my A7's are quite doing it. So I'm lookin at these Yorkville YSS2 Powered Studio Subwoofer My room is odd shaped (kinda like a really fat "L") and roughly measures 18' by...

    Marshall AVT50H w/ 4X12 cab...thoughts?

    There's a dude has one for $450. He says it's about 4 years old, hasn't been played thru much and it looks it. Really good shape. I looked and it said VS2000, made in England if that helps. Online info said it's a hybrid and reviews (mostly) said it's a nice setup. I'm guessing it went for $600...

    Major "hiss" ...active pups...shielding???

    So that's the gist of my post. My ESP bass has active pickups and I'm running thru a GK head/cab. The hiss I'm getting is fairly loud and thoroughly irritating. I've jammed on a couple other GK setups and it seems this hiss is kind of their nature. :confused: Both of em were fairly loud (hiss...

    Bass cabs and tone...your thoughts?

    So I've got the GK Goldline head (500 watt, lower end head) and the MBX 4X10 cab (400 watt). I've also got an old Earth 2X15 cab but it's only got the one 15 wired up. It's an Eminence Legend (8 ohm, 300 watts). Both cabs are 8 ohm which should give me a 4 ohm out of the head. Recently (ish)...

    Small room...full band....recording...???

    G'mornin gents (and ma'ams) :D So our band wants to record as a unit. Mic bleed and everything. I built my room for a one man band...so it's kinda small. Roughly 14' by 20' and I raised the ceiling to about a 10' pitched roof. I brought up that I could mix everything better if we mic'ed the...

    Need new bass speakers...

    I've got a 2X15 cab and plan on using my old Sunn 200S 60 watt tube head. The head has a 4 and 8 ohm out. My plan is to wire em in 4 ohm but it's been a loong time since I've bought bass speakers.....I was lookin at JBL's Eminence, Pyle. Jensen etc and I'm a little out of my element. Too many...

    Extra long scale bass string...?

    Emphasis on the "extra long scale". I believe when I measured the length it was at 35 and a quarter. I'm looking for some flatwounds for my 4 string and I was wondering if you guys had a preference. The band I'm in now will be doing 90's rock...some Papa Roach, Three Doors Down etc, then some...
