   Yorkville gives you the best amp for the price, absolutly no argument. try a Yorkville BM200T it's a killer amp, very loud and awsome sound.

   I do a lot of switching between E and D, it 's fine for the string. as for the tension I have a 35" scale bass the longer scale makes a world of difference we play 1/2 a step down so my drop D is actually a C# but even so the string is tight eno...(more)

   My guitar player just got a GT-6 and it's pretty cool, has anyone tried the GT-6B? How does it sound? Is it easy to use? Thanx Dan

   I belive that ESP relesed a "Limited" edition series(LTD) but they were so popular they just kept making them.

   65% of your tone is in your fingers and your pickups. For strings I use D'Addirio because they're cheap

   you do have a point, though I would never spend more than 2grand on a bass, an in that price range I would buy new.

   once again, If your focus is punk then a Milestone IV is probabally more sutable, they're just very thumpy. but try both, see what you like.

   well, P pickups(in the milestone IV) have a punchier, thumpy tone. the J-pickups (in the milestone III) have more richness and growel to them, they are also smoother. If you ask me J-pickups are better, it is true that they will never have the...(more)

    Well, used basses and new basses usualy don't have that much of a price differenc, especially in the higher end models. and and I belive the fact that you get a warrenty makes it all worthwhile, especially in the higher end models. My guitar p...(more)

    Buying new you get a warrenty, better resale value, better choice of colors, options etc. and a longer life out of the guitar. but like matt said you can get some great deals buying used

    in that price range the only fenders you get get are the (shudder) Squire basses. I'd get a peavey, milestone you can get teh milestone III (j-bass) or the Milestone IV (p-bass) for punk I'd get the Milestone IV

    it sounds more like your amp is picking up the hum. if your running both pickups on a fender jazz it's wired to cancel hum. I once had a interesting problem with noise. we were going insane one day trying to figure out why my guitar players a...(more)

    I agree with everything you said except one thing, how can you blow a speaker by running low power through it? the disadvantage of running low power througha high-power speaker is that the sound of ten lacks bass and definition, not that your g...(more)

    hey, I totally agree. I bought the rig because It loud enough and I love the sound. I too se no need for 4800 watts of bass power.

    try a BadAzz II bridge. in my humble opinion there is no real advantage of string-tru body over top load bridges.
