What kind of gear are you using?
Here is the problem I am having now. I have a Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer now that I use with my Fender Jazz. I was playing through a Peavey 115 combo and it sounded good. I recently got a Ampeg SVT-3 and ...(more)

Cool. I will be selling my amp soon also. I was hoping to get about $200 for mine. All I can say about heads are try as many as you can with the Fender Jazz. Doesn't have to be yours but use the same model. The Jazz gets alot of noise in th...(more)

Well, I play in an original band, so i am looking for my own sound...but a good sound. Our music is rock with jazz influence (but not that much influence). Think of music like fishbone, 311, etc. I like the sound i am getting now alot better ...(more)

I just bought an Ampeg SVT-3 Pro head the other day. I have it running through a Carvin 2x10 cab. What I am really trying to find is some sample settings, or setting that the pros use to get good tones. I have played with it and got a good so...(more)

I just recently got the RL210 from Carvin. So far it has proved to be a good sounding and well constructed cabinet. I have it running off of my Ampeg SVT-3 Pro. I am getting some killer tones. If you are looking for a good 2x10 that won't br...(more)

I am a big fan of thier live stuff. I dig Change of Season and Once in a Live Time. If you do not include the live and cover stuff, then Awake is top of my list. If you don't have the live stuff, get it. It shows you what they are really cap...(more)

I just recently got the Crybaby Bass 105Q wah pedal. Snagged it off of ebay for a cool $85. I love it. You can set the volume and envelope range with knobs on the bottom. I already can feel myself using it too much! I love the way it sounds...(more)

I just recently bought an SWR WM4004 amp from a music store out west (Kansas) and it got shipped to me broken. All I had to do was call the guy and he arranged to have it repaired free of charge. The only problem now is that I have to wait for...(more)

I have bought replacement speakers before from Parts Express. They have Eminence, JBL, EV, Celestian, etc. Prices are pretty good and you can order online. I think it is www.partsexpress.com.

Thanks for the lead. MCM does have a web site that you can order from. The 15 inch enclosure runs just under $100. They also have 4x10s and 4x12s. I plan on getting the 15". What I am really looking for is a 2x10 enclosure, but I may just h...(more)

I got my hands on a 15" Eminence speaker for a steal and am trying to find a place to buy just a speaker cabinet. Anyone out there know of any places to purchase just the enclosure? Any leads would help.

My band's old name was FUNKIN' A. Say it too fast and your mom will yell at you! We have a new name now but it is too long according to your rules.

I hear you. I have good tone now, at least I like it and so do my bandmates. I have a Fender American Jazz bass through a Zoom506II into a Peavey TNT. The tone is good but I am hoping the Bass Driver will make it a little beefier.
Is is true...(more)

I am with you Phil. I sing backup and harmony in my band. Before I know the song REALLY GOOD I always either forget the words or forget what the next notes are. In other words I loose my place. After I know the song well it usually just roll...(more)

I agree with you Dan. Usually I will get the tab of a song we would like to cover and try to learn it note for note. More often that not I put my own touch to it and make the song "original" to me. As long as you don't stray to much most peop...(more)

I am right there with you. At practice I am there to really listen and make sure all of the parts are coming together well. I am usually concentrating to hard to have a really good time. But when I get onstage I let it all loose. It is like ...(more)

Thanks for the quick review. It sounds like this is just what I am looking for. The amp I am using now is a Peavey TNT which has the graphic EQ. I am hoping to plug this in and tweek it to get a bigger, clearer sound with a little more bite. ...(more)
