    Some of my band memes.

    I decided to post this out of boredom. I have to stay in History class for an hour. Hopefully, this will pass the time, lol. Feel free to share your memes. Warning: Gen-Z humor is ahead. Oh, there's also other memes.

    Mesa d800- some kind of magic sauce. Amp or cabs?

    Last night I played through the other band's bass rig with my band (we opened). It was a D800 with two subway cabs (the cabs were fetching shade of dark green- custom tolex apparently). The rig sounded ridiculously amazing. It was clear, articulate, plenty of lows, but it was always very easy...

    Need some feedback on a PA issue

    Last week, I brought my backup head to a gig (Fender Rumble 500). I plugged it into the PA through the DI, and got some background hum through the PA. When I turned the amp on, the sound went away. Ideas? Thanks.

    Looking for some reassurance

    Just got the tracking number for my Nord dual coils. I currently have the Bart mk1's. I am hoping the the Nords are more open sounding and more articulate. The barts are a little dark to me.Is this a reasonable expectation ? Guess I'm second guessing now that it's too late.

    I've just received a new US G&L SB-2 lefty (if you don't mind I prefer not to post pictures, due to some personal privacy reasons). Overall, it looks like like a quality constructed instrument, but after seeing many threads here saying "I've had a bunch of US G&Ls and never had an issue", or...

    Looking to purchase my first bass as the guy is selling the guitar + amp for $100. He says he has had the bass for almost 30 years and the guy he bought it from said it was japanese. He said there are no identifying marks on it, so I'm just looking to see if its a diamond in the rough...

    Best pants for music

I bring the board home, check the cords and pedals individually, re-assemble the the board, and play if for an hour or so. I play it a couple more times before the next gig. Everything is...

    I have a MIM Fender P bass. A year ago I added a Lindy Fralin pickup, Hipshot tuners and bridge, and an aftermarket pickguard. On the advice of a friend, I kept all the original parts in storage because he said I should have them handy if I ever wanted to sell it. We're in the process of moving...

    Why can't you buy some body color/fretboard wood combinations?

    I've always wondered this but haven't figured it out. Why does Fender (as well as other companies that use bolt-on necks) not sell maple fretboards with certain color bodies? If you want the new 5 string P bass with a maple board, you can only get it in black or olive. If you want it with a...

    Cost cutting or market positioning?- Or do some folks just like it?

    With a few minutes to kill, passing the local GC I stopped in to explore a bit. They had an MIA Elite Jazz bass there and I wanted to become more familiar with it. It felt nice, as it should, and surprisingly not much unlike my 2010 MIM 5-string jazz bass... Up a few basses away were two new...
