    Double Bass Silly Amp/preamp Question

    Im sure this is a dumb question, but I have a Fender Rumble 100. Do I need a preamp for that or are the knobs on top sufficient? Thanks!

    DOD Boneshaker / Hot Wheels Bone Shaker mashup photos

    So, ok, let say up front that this may be stupid. Maybe. I was walking though the supermarket earlier today and there was a bin with a bunch of Hot Wheels cars in 50th Anniversary packages and paint jobs. The paint jobs are all black and gold. With a sudden onset of childhood nostalgia I dug...

    I have the following gear: ETA Power Distribution Sure GLXD4 Wireless Korg Pitch Black Pro Turner GK 700RB Amp BBE 482 Sonic Maximizer What would be the most logical chain to hook all this up? I have connected all this stuff up but for some reason I cannot get a signal through when I go...

    A silly question regarding tuner key orientation.

    I'm looking into doing some hardware upgrades on my CIJ jaguar, thinking a heavier bridge, new pickups, and a hipshot bass extender and some ultralites. I'm about ready to pull the trigger but I'm not quite sure whether to order them "bass side" or "treble side". The description on the...

    Silly thought

    So I had a silly thought. I saw BassCliff said half-joking "FriendFace" in another thread, and I realized he's probably an IT type-person in real life, just like me. (Friendface is from Season 3 of a British TV show "The IT Crowd"). So I got to thinking, "I'd bet there's a lot of bassists that...

    Silly thinking out loud (Ibanez SRC6 conversion)

    As the title says, this is just some thinking out loud, I am not planning on doing this, but I am curious as to what the outcome may be. I am reading decent reviews about the quality of the Ibanez SRC6, which is a short scale bass/baritone/guitar type thingy. A lot of the reviews say that it is...

    Short and silly practice story

    I was at practice last night, with one of my bands, and we hadn't played in quite a while. After the first couple songs didn't go so well, somebody wanted to drop what we were working on and play something easy, in this case Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash. Well I'm sick of that song, and I was...

    Silly thing: put a bassline in my video game.

    Silly Ohm Question

    I read the stickies, and think I have this correct. The Ohm thing with tube amps still makes me wonder if I am doing things correctly. I have a LDS 3x8, running @ 5.67Ohm. I want to test a PF-20T with it. Do I set the Ohms on the PF-20T to the 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm setting? Thanks!

    Silly question for all fender lovers

    I guess it's more just being nostalgic than anything else, here goes why between 62 and mid 80s if I wanted a jazz bass , I could go and buy a fender jazz and that was good enough for every record being made.. today if I want a jazz I have to decide , mex. KorEan , Japan , or Mia, then u got...

    Silly Ibanez / Carol Kaye Comment/Question

    Dont you think that if you were a large company, such as Ibanez, and you had a bass legend, such as Carol Kaye, endorsing your basses, you'd make a decent looking string dampener so she wouldn't have to use tape and toilet paper or whatever it is she uses to dampen her strings?

    Just a silly Rant about pedal tuners.

    Is it me or should Pedal tuners. ( Korg Pitchblack,Boss,Polytune etc etc) have the inputs switch sides? should'nt the input from the amp to the tuner be on the right side and the input to your bass to tuner be on the left side? would this make sense or am i just being weird?

    Silly in the GC

    I was in GC today to try out an amp. The sales person gets the amp set up for me over by the used gear section. I spot this nice used Fender P on the wall and it has flats! My main concern here is to not completely embarrass myself in the store. I grab the bass and start noodling around and it...

    Silly comparison thread Carvin/Keisel vs costlier J brands

    the touch the feel of cotton the fabric of our lives J bass is like cotton in some ways. Have you sent the underdog Kiesel JB5 into battle against some of its more expensive, sought after, and arguably better built competition and how did it fare?

    Double Bass Might be a silly question, but anybody here using non-powered/passive PA cabs?

    Silly threads - Can we get a rules clarification here?

However, I still feel like I need to ask for some clarification about the principles that guide these decisions so that I...
