    Jump Audio IXM Cable Solution

    http://www.jumpaudio.net/ixmcablesetup.html Anyone know of a similar set up? Essentially, it’s a single body pack and dual cable for your instrument and earphones. It looks like it might make all the wires less cumbersome. We are migrating to IEMs, but the investment for a wireless system...

    Single amp solution?

    hi! I was bitten by the bass bug about 2 weeks ago and I'm expecting delivery of my first bass (it's a Fender) any minute now, yay me! :D My question is: Does it make sense to have only one amp? I bought a practice amp (Ampeg BA-108) for $99. It sounded great with a P Bass playing into it...

    Is a bass trap the solution?

    I seem to have a hard time getting my bedroom and living room to sound great when I play (any amp or bass!) I notice some notes are a fair amount louder than others and it really sucks. I laid out a thick blanket in front of the amp and pointed it towards a bookshelf full of clothing. I’ve...

    Thoughts on possible solution to theater sound issue?

    I won't bash the "sound engineer", but the short story is that I'm playing bass in a show where I was told I'd be pumped through the house system. No amp required. So I get there for the first dress rehearsal and they set me up with a DI box and a monitor. No problems- yet. [Might be important...

    Solution to low double bass output?

    Hey guys, I picked up a double bass with an in built pickup which has a low gain and will feed back if too close to the amp if its turned up. Whats the best way to resolve this? I've been advised a preamp, but what are the benefits of this over a boost pedal say? I want to increase the input...

    David Eden WT800 Cuts Off / Over Heat Solution

    What power solution should I use?

    I have a board that's going to consist of a Bassbone V2, SP comp, TU-3S tuner, and possibly one other 9V pedal. It's the Bassbone that is messing things up - it wants 15 volts/400mA, although I have the Xotic voltage doubler, so I think the compressor can be either 9V or 18V too. I would...

    Is shifting the rear strap button a viable solution to neck dive?

    I noticed someone did this on a jazz bass that was a bit neck heavy, and I thought it was a brilliant idea. But does it really work well, or would shifting the rear strap button an inch or inch and a half upward on the body make the bass sit weird? Is this a typical solution, or have you found...

    Ultimate solution thread for being really loud (but transportable)

    Hi guys, I have already tried to educate myself how to get the volume I need and not destroy the speakers. From what I saw the wisdom is to have more speakers and don´t put too strong signal into them (which will cause the cliping, right?) The problem is that I would not be able to transport...
