    Fretless setup / level in Boston area

    Hi All- I have an Ibanez GWB1 that I really like, but it has a buzz at the G string when playing the 6 and 7 positions. I think that the board is a little high further up the neck. My current setup is 4/64" G string measured at the 12 position with capo at first position (trying to go by...

    TC Electronics Mini Spark: level position = x dBs?

    I've got a new TC Electronics Mini Spark coming and understand the level knob varies the boost from 0 - 20dBs. Does anyone know approximately how many dBs of boost are applied at various positions of the level knob? For example, 9:00 = x dBs of gain 12:00 = y dBs of gain...

    SA Collider overdriving

    I'm really trying to like this pedal because on paper it's everything I'd want it to be. But... It overdrives way too easily. And not in the good way. Like, I want some bright, shiny reverb and instead i get a bunch of high frequency distortion. I keep wondering if there's a way to set it to...

    Hello guys. If I measure the level f my active bass, with no processing and PREAMP ON, I get a -7 dB peak and -23.6 dB RMS measured by the level meter PLUGIN of my D.A.W. Are these values too HOT / decent / too quiet? I connect my bass DI with the input knob of my interface almost turned to...

    Double Bass Headway The Band pickup - low signal level

    RIP Boon Gould (of Level 42)

    Boon Gould has died at age 64. He was a key contributor, both as a songwriter and guitarist, to most of the material that propelled Level 42's exposure in the late 80s. I always thought he was undervalued. RIP. Level 42 founder member found dead

    What's Your Instrument Repair Level?

    Back in the 70's/80's/90's, when I was playing fulltime, Sunday was my strip down day to improve my basses for the upcoming week. ... So, other than making the instrument from a chuck of wood, there's not much I haven't attempted. ... How about you?

    Losing control of your power and tone

    Since the beginning, Bassists have been controlling their own level and tone. Recently, some Sound Technicians do not want bass amplifiers on their stages. Performing live has become as a recording session. Anyone feel you have lost control of your sound ?

    Why Level 42 Failed

    I discovered Level 42 when I was 15. At 47, I'm now a lifelong Level 42 fan, but I contend they were much less successful than they should have been. I'd like to discuss why. My thesis - the Level 42 that existed from 1985 to about 1988 gained enough global notoriety to fuel the balance of...

    Splitting a balanced line level signal

    The preamp I will be obtaining shortly has a balanced output, a 1/4" TRS jack with a level pot. My problem is, I need that signal to go to two places - to our IEM mixer where it sits on a splitter and gets forwarded to FOH if necessary - and to my poweramp. I would like to minimize the things...

    What is the best entry level bass you have played

    This goes along with an earlier post about entry level basses. The best one I've played was an Ibanez Talman 4 string. TLM-100 I think. Setup was great, sounded like a good p-j and the retro look was very cool.
