    Favorite bass you played at an instrument shop, and how would it sound with your setup?

    My favorite bass that I ever played was an Ibanez SR300EB at a guitar center and I played it through a Boss Katana bass amp; I think it would sound absolutely awful through my setup, which is a couple pedals and a Marshall MG15.

    New Headphone Decision

    I've been using the same headphones (Sony DR-9) since I was a kid, and sadly the wire connection up next to the cup has finally started to break up, probably from the stretch from use and the weight of the coiled wire. I think it's time for a new pair rather than trying to fix them (maybe in the...

    Used equipment that comes from a coastline...should I be particularly wary??

    I am looking to buy a used BOSS RC-300 Loop Station on Reverb. It has some rust on the nuts outside the 1/4" and AUX ports because its first owner lived in Hawaii. Should I be extra wary?? Does anyone have experience with buying equipment that was previously on the coast? Let me know, thanks y'all!

    Playing versus Listening - Why does gear sound different?

    Hello TBers, This may seem like a silly topic, but here goes... I'm a drummer and somewhat new to bass. I had a Markbass CMD 102P that I just could not get a good sound out of, no matter what bass or settings I tried, so I decided to sell it. A guy came over to check it out, plugged in his...

    Do your guitarists mic their own amps?

    I feel like I have it easy with bass. I have a 50 ft XLR cable that I can plug into my amp head and run to the mixer. Most of the time, there's a cable ready for me. I've never had a sound guy refuse to run me direct or try to mic my cab. Guitarists, on the other hand, usually need to run a...
