This might be a bit of a n00b question, but it's something that gave me a lot of thinking lately, as I purchased some pretty nice pedals and the fear of damaging them has grown. Long story short: I see no PSUs with an on/off switch, so in order to turn power off one just pulls the plug, right...

After 4-5 of years playing top 40, Motown and RB, I have a great opportunity in front of me to get back to my rock roots playing 80's hair and other hard rock type tunes. From an instrument standpoint, I have an LB-100 P, MIA J, and my trusty Modulus Q5 so I'm not too concerned there but on...

Title says it all. Go.

I swear I saw an ad for a very inexpensive medium scale bass but can't remember where. I just want the neck and the basses I saw were only $150 (I think). I have a long term project that would like a complete neck to attach to the body I have been messin with. Help?

TalkBass is so damn diverse! We have thrashy shredders, jazz guys, doomers, ol' blues dawgs, uprighters, pop-punkers, experimental types and out and out funkfaces all mixing it up in one big melting pot of bass goodness, and it's unreal. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to in 3...

So I finally bit the bullet and bought an MXR Iso Brick after using a One Spot for a few years. With the One Spot I was pretty reckless as it pertains to current / miliamps. Thankfully I never fried anything. But with the Iso Brick, I'm being extremely cautious with the outputs and the pedals I...

I've a really great opportunity to invest in a new bass rig and I've been an Ampeg sound lover for a long time but never had the scratch. Price point is comparable for the Heritage and the VR. I know there are some feature difference and obviously where they were made/assembled, but I want to...

Share your current weather pic. I’m in Southern Oregon...gig is canceled, trying to get out now!

My wife and I have always been curious. Ever since she and I got together her English Mastiff stops whatever she's doing to come lie on the cable when I play. She does it when the wife plays. Even on a brand new cable with none of our scent on it. We always joked that she was a musician in a...

I am looking for some advice from those of you currently gigging. I play in a cover band: all older guys, electric and acoustic guitars, 1 keyboard, bass, drums, good vocals. We play a lot of classic rock, but we also do some 80’s stuff, some oldies, some alternative rock, but nothing from...

I just picked up a last years SR1300 used. The stiffness of the neck is nice. The wood choices ring well. The boast of comfortable fretwork does not hold true. I had an 80's $175 Samick that the fret edges could not be felt. These are not nice even though rounded. It's not the tange its the...

Can one easily remove the silver GK logo without damaging the grill? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I've recently been lucky enough to acquire a Cali76 TX second hand which should be arriving in a week or so, safe to say I'm extremely excited to get to grips with this legendary compressor. However, after doing some reading, I've come to learn that powering the pedal at less than 12V...
