    Mesa WD and TT owners who need a hard case

    The soft gig bags these amps come with are very nice but don't offer much protection for life in the trailer or for long trips. They also don't endure careless crew too well. During load-in this past weekend, once again, I saw a bandmate casually do a 5" drop with my bagged WD onto the stage...

    How to protect tips of spiky headstocks from chipping?

    Hello, Millimetre by millimere tip of my Jackson headstock is getting more and more chipped due to small -even soft- strokes to furnitures, table, wall, etc... Aside from 'be more carefull' advice :) (i am trying to do that :) It was easier for guitar but now with long neck of 35" scale bass it...

    I just bought a nice Vintage P Bass.

    It is a '72 Precision Bass that is somewhat of an under the bed kind of find. The bass itself is in pretty good condition all around, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a back plate or something to guard the back from potentially getting buckle rash / scratched up and won't...

    Instrument Insurance -- Protect your GAS!!!

    How many people insure their musical instruments? I was looking over my home insurance policy a few years back because it provides coverage for personal property. So I had some coverage for my basses & guitars if there were ever an incident that would affect them. But as I looked closer, I...

    Suggested bag/case for QSC K12.2?

    I am the proud new owner of a QSC K12.2, which I will use with my Helix; I'm hoping that it will replace my Markbass combo. I'm meticulous about protecting my gear. I have a Helix bag for my Helix (a pretty nice piece of gear - perhaps a bit pricey, but worth it to protect the investment), and...

    Power surge protection: how much is enough?

    I have a G&K mb800, love it, don't want it to fry, but I only want a small 2-3 outlet surge/protector power strip. I did find a little Monster Cable surge protector @ Walmart & it's the right size, but it's protective rating is 250 joules. Not enough? I've never experienced any power surge...

    Hearing protection article

    Read this today. Protecting our hearing has been discussed many times and ways but since hearing loss is usually a one way street figured it was worth another mention. I was thick headed about it for years; only preaching to not be like me. Music was first and over the past few years no table...

    Ampeg pf-350 and thermal protection

    I'm trying to understand exactly how this works. From searching I mostly get that this is an overheating protection shut down. But what if my 350 is cutting out even after I have just turned the amp on for the days practice and is not hot at all? I have the 350 powering a pf410hlf and a mc-210E...

    Traynor YBA-300 Tube amp Circuit Protection?

    Does anyone know if there is any circuit protection on these heads? For example; Speaker cable or wire inside cab gets accidentally unplugged. Or would the head do damage to itself in that situation? I looked in the manual but I struggle finding stuff like that when reading if it exists. Any...

    speaker protection

    Does anyone have any thoughts on using a water repellent (ex scotchguard) on speakers like wedges and subs? Anything that might be in the line of fire from spilled drinks in bars. . Good idea? Or not so much.

    Any Good and Free Virus Protection Software?

    My gf recently bought a new PC that didn't come with any virus/spyware protection software. I was wondering if there was any good, free offering on the market right now. Thanks!

    Gender change: now I use protection

    I'm paranoid. Rather than potentially damage pedal jacks by repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables, I have a short patch cable and a gender changer on the input of the first pedal on my board and the output of the last pedal on my board. Am I the only gender changer around here?

    Talk to me about speaker protection circuitry

    I am trying to use the aux in on my Magellan 800 as a pseudo second channel to drive my keyboard bass. As I understand it, the Magellan has a built in fixed frequency HPF which I believe was added to the circuit to protect against speaker damage. An inquiry to Jeff Genzler revealed that the...

    Guitar Center Protection Plan...worth it? experience?

    Got a used relatively old head thats discontinued from GC in mind and their protection plan would add another 50 bucks to the cost for 2 years service. Anyone have experience with one of these plans? Thanks

    Protection Mode Issue - Aguilar

    Need some advice from the family. I use an Aguilar AG500 single channel amp (~10 years old) that has been a champ, but recently has been acting up a bit. Specifically, the amp cuts into protection mode (shuts off signal to speaker cabs) at random and intermittent times. It was the worst...

    I don't understand ear plugs? I can barely hear the bass!

    This might just be me, since all ears are different, but I have never found ear plugs that work for me. Everyone in a band always talks about the importance of protecting your hearing, but at what cost? Every time I play with ear plugs on, I can barely hear the band, and less so, the bass sound...
