    Expensive basses need a fireproof home.

    Hello all. Soo I have about 3 basses that are worth allot. What are some options I can do to store these to be safe from theft and fire. Other than your homes lol. I have a Marleaux, Adamovic, and lesser expensive Kiesel. I am thinking like a rifle safe with temp control. This is what...

    Is an SKB BASS SAFE good for everyday touring? Better than a case?

    I just got myself a Limited edition Black Paisley JB Japan, and I was wondering how to protect it properly. We play around 100/150 shows a year, from big to small, most of them around Germany, travelling in our own van, with other instruments and PA and stuff. Would you guys think it's...

    Can I run a microphone through my bass amp?

    We have a Fender Rumble 350 bass amp that is not being used. We are wondering if we can run our singer through it, without a PA system. Simply a studio microphone straight into the "line out". Might be redundant, but were new to music hardware and wanted to know before plugging anything in and...

    Can I use my 700w2x10 extension with my SVT 5 Pro in Bi amp mode?

    I recently acquired a SVT 5 Pro and a 4x10 hartke cab . They both work . The SVT, to my knowledge, is capable at running at 500w on bi amp mode . The amp is capable of handling a 2 ohm load . The hartke cab (hartke xl 4x10 , 500w at 8 ohms) sounds good, but doesnt have the midrange or low...

    Is it safe to use the Hughes & Kettner Redbox V5 with any amp ?

    The title is the question. I read somewhere that some Class D Amps can let out their magic smoke if used with a speaker level DI box. Is that true?

    Bass with x-tender on wall hook-- safe?

    I have my p bass with hipshot x-tender on the wall hook--, but it rests its weight on the trigger. Is this a problem, or just what it does? Would I be better off putting it in a stand with the weight on the body? Any input would be great! Thanks.

    What should I beware of using SKB 44RW bass safe?

    Should I need to lock the strap? Are TSA going to close well? Or I need to buy another TSA lock to lock the bass safe? I'm gonna fly to Asia next month. Kind of worry about it.

    SKB Bass Safe - Broken / Damaged

    Hello, I've had the SKB bass safe for only about a year and have flown with it about a dozen times. Last week I arrived in SLC with the case on the conveyer belt in 2 parts. On one side of the latch the thin part that connects to the strap broke. The airline agreed to pay for the broken case...

    3 prong cord on a B15 - how to make sure its safe?

    I just got a dream amp - late 60s B15NC. It has a 3 prong power cord and the prior owner assures me the death cap has been addressed. How can I make 100% sure this thing can’t shock me or my kids. It sounds absolutely amazing. Do I need to test the socket it’s plugged into to make sure its...

    Tight fitting Fender Jazz Bass Case, is it safe?

    Just wanting to know what the experience around here says about a Tight Fitting Fender Jazz Bass Case (or for that matter the Precision Bass case), is it safe for extended use? I imagine a super-tight fitting case is safe for your bass and is a good thing, at least for basic transport to and...

    Is it safe to dime the master vol on a SVT? (And use the 'Gain' as a Master vol)

    Hi all, proud owner of an SVT-2 PRO. Got a little tip I saw online somewhere (escapes me where) that suggested diming the master and using the gain as a master volume, supposedly it'll engage the Power amp section and cause tasty meaty power amp distortion over pre amp distortion (which I find...

    Are octavers safe for cabs?

    It might be a silly question but I've never cranked an octave down out of fear of blowing a speaker. Is this irrational? Or do you only use an octaver with higher notes? I play a 5 string, how low is it safe to go with an octave down at rehearsal/gigging volumes? Thanks!

    How safe is it to use denatured alcohol to clean strings?

    Safe to turn an amp head off while the fan is running? + Leaving amp on all night

    Safe Travel - neck off?

    I saw a video the other day where the performer mentioned that they travelled with the neck off. If you are travelling light, do you do this? Perhaps so you can take your bass as a carry on? Or just so it might be safer in smaller pieces not under string trnsion etc. Curious. Cheers.
