    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.

    Double Bass Endorsement deals

    We all know how expensive it can be to maintain your gear, ensure you have all the tools needed for any situation etc. It adds up so fast! A few years ago I reached out to the kind folks at Euphonics Audio and was able to arrange an endorsement deal, getting the artist price for their iAmp...

    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...

    So .... I am learning how to slap....didnt like my Squier modified P-Bass for that (even though I really do think it's a great bass for the price), tried a few (Jazz MIM/US, some Music Man and Ibanez) and settled for an Sound Gear 370, which I like and which I run through a Rumble 25....

    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...
