2023.05.18 22:29 Bauhoused TC Electronic Sentry vs Rocktron Silencer for Clean Playing and Reducing Overall Static/Hum Rather Than as a Gate
So I have been working on finding the right noise gate/noise supressor to handle the issues I’m dealing with. For me, it’s mostly 60 cycle hum from Strat pickups and overall signal chain/cable noise, and stuff from other pedals. Unfortunately, most reviews for noise pedals tend to focus on hard gating for high gain metal or something like that. While I would like an overall gate when there is no note being played, what I am primarily looking for is when a note is played and the signal rises above the threshold, I want the signal that passes through to have less overall noise/hissing. Almost like what the spectral gate on the EHX HOG and HOG 2 does. In my head, I am looking for a noise suprressoreducer rather than a purely noise gate.
I have been debating between the MXR Smart Gate and the TC Sentry to handle this, but recently settled on the Sentry. However, I just found the Rocktron Silencer which has both hush and gate controls.
This question was posed here, but does anyone have any experience or could offer some guidance: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/hush-vs-tc-sentry-as-noise-suppressor-filter-any-others.1344757/

2023.04.28 19:45 IANvaderZIM Rewiring for parallel - BH2
Hi all. I’m looking into modding my Ibanez SRMS805. While I was researching appropriate swaps for the stock Bartolini BH2, I kept seeing a comment pop up on talkbass about rewiring the OEM pickups as parallel.
Allegedly it “opens the pickups right up” and “kills all the mud.”
I’m quite interested in trying this, especially if I run switches or push pull pots for series/parallel (/coil tap maybe).
Before I start taking tools to my baby I just wanted to touch bass with everyone here and see if it’s a good idea.
Has anyone done this mod (or similar) to stock Ibanez Barts? Did it make a difference (for better or worse?)?
Do the wire colors line up with this Bartolini diagram (page 6 preferably)?
Any tips or advice before I try it?

2023.04.20 21:06 gringofou Help Me Find Mike Gordon Interview Trolling - Fake Instrument
I vaguely remember an old magazine article where Mike Gordon trolled the interviewer and attributed the bands new, crisp sound to a made up instrument/gear called something like an Octaplate, Octoplate, or something similar but I can't find any references on the internet. Does anybody else remember this? Maybe the fake instrument had a different name?
Edit: Found it. Yoctoplate

2023.04.20 16:41 ratusnorvegicus Fearful Bass Cab Build
Been eyeing a Greenboy Fearful bass cab build for a while and finally mustering up the gumption to act upon it.
They were all the rage a decade ago and throughout the years since over on Talkbass for their sound, weight and volume.
Are they still worth it now that prices increased and a 12/6 flat pack kit costs ~$900?

2023.04.20 04:44 StabbyDappityDoo Found a used 2007 Markbass F1 limited edition for $400 CAD…
Is it a good deal? Looking at some forums like talkbass it seems like a great medium-small head, but I’m not sure if it’s a good price for $400 CAD, especially since it’s 18 years old at this point. There are some scratches at the top, and the seller does not mention any defects.

2023.03.22 07:37 Marvinkmooneyoz Any one have Markbass AG1000 amphead?
I see no reference to it on REddit at all. Seems like there'd be at least one discussion on it. EQ settings are bassist Andrew Gouche selected. He's a 5 string player, some people on talkbass think this will be more popular among others on 5.

2023.03.20 02:01 ZormkidFrobozz If it wasn't a dumb idea, someone would have done it by now...right?
As I sit here absent-mindedly scrolling bass subreddits and talkbass threads, my mind is once again wandering to mod and build ideas. Things like...
What would a modded Rickenbacker with a filter preamp (like the ACG/East or Lusithand pre) sound like? Or with that one Noll preamp with the frequency sweeps on the bass mid AND treble controls?
What if added a G&L MFD split-coil pickup to my Kiloton with the single MFD humbucker? G&L doesn't offer a p/hb configuration...
Or drop that filter preamp in my G&L L2k? Or a Neal Moser setup with the VariTone, phase switches and booster circuit like the old school BC Rich. Call it a BCG&L.
If they were mods worth doing, surely someone would have done them by now... right?

2023.03.16 15:27 Yogatoga1012 Greetings and thanks for the add
I have a BassTech 150w amp with a 1x15 and a horn. Wondering if anyone in this sub has any info on this amp. Bought it back in the 90s at a guitar shop. Been a reliable stage amp but not been given a work out in recent years. Most tech guys look at it and cock their head and give a puzzled look. Best I could find on the web was a post in Talkbass but the thread seemed similar to my experiences with folks in person over the years. Also not really sure about some of the features (post DI, hertz switch specifically). Thanks for reading, any comments/info appreciated.

2023.03.16 04:32 Pinoli-Canoli Dead Portaflex and Possible Replacement
I think a lot of people on this sub that are familiar with Ampeg are well aware with what I’m about to explain.
My band has finally gotten to start recording our first full length album this week, and yesterday was my turn to start recording my bass tracks.
I brought an Ampeg Portaflex 500 head and plugged it into the engineer’s SVT 810 cab. I hook everything up, no bass plugged in and turn it on, seems to be working fine. The engineer then asks me to plug my bass in to see what kind of sound I’m looking for, and that’s where problems begin. The sound cuts in out with every note I play until the dreaded fault light comes on and we get nothing. We tried turning it off and on again, using a different speaker cable, a different wall outlet, and nothing.
Luckily we got all the bass tracks down with a DI, but now I’m stuck with a broken amp until Ampeg customer support can get back to me. I’ve only had the amp for a little over 5 months so I’d hope that the fix will be covered under manufacturer warranty. However, after much research (i.e. reading a few TalkBass threads on the subject matter) I’m questioning if this is something even worth fixing.
I’ve done a bit of digging to see if there are other bass amps with a similar amount of features and it seems my best bet is with the Orange Little Bass Thing, mainly for the sweepable midrange and onboard compression. However, I’m open to other suggestions that people might have for a lot of picked bass for punk rock.
Moral of the story: do your research and DONT BUY A PORTAFLEX 500!!!

2023.03.13 17:16 flying_dutchman14 Replacement for Sterling Ray35HH?
I've sent two basses back at this point, because they each had issues with particularly the tuners (which tend to shear off) and the truss rod. See the Talkbass thread for more about that. At this point, I've decided to give Stingrays a pass for a while. I just don't have any faith in the Sterling brand at this point. Maybe I'll buy a proper Music Man at some point, I don't know.
So now I'm in the market for a 5 string bass at the same price point, or somewhere between $800 and $1300. I'm not in the market for a P or J, since I've a got a great PJ 4-string. I've also been eyeing a Cort A5 Ultra or Yamaha TRBX605. Any tips?

2023.03.06 21:15 craigwasmyname Future Impact Patch sharing
Hi everyone!
I have the Future Impact v1, which is a lovely pedal that makes a huge array of great sounds, and I like it a lot.
Whenever I've looked online for patch sharing, I find hundred-page threads on talkbass.com and other sites, but because the threads are so old most of the google drive and dropbox links are no longer working.
Are there any other Future Impact owners here who know of any patch stashes that are still live and online?
I'm particularly trying to get a nice quacky envelope filter sound to stave off my GAS and stop myself from buying a Fwonkbeta or something similar. It would be great if I could use this excellent pedal I already have to get a similar effect going on. Also interested in other cool sounds you might have.
Thanks!

2023.02.25 12:30 kleinklang Powering a pair of Crown GLM-100s
I have a pair of Crown GLM-100 microphones that I would like to use for stereo field recording, and one GLM-100/ENG power unit that came with one of them, which converts 12-48v phantom power from XLR to the voltage the GLM-100 needs on mini XLR, as well as providing a bass roll-off to help reduce unwanted ambience. The second one is just the mic unit soldered to a regular XLR plug, with no power unit.
I need a pair of identical preamps and power units to power them both, and since a second GLM-100/ENG is virtually impossible to come by, I'm thinking of buying a pair of Rode VXLR+ phantom to plug-in power adapters, which are specified to convert 12-48v to "3-5 volts", to connect them to my recorders. The power requirement of the GLM-100 mic unit is unspecified on the spec sheet, since all variants were shipped with their own power units that ran on 12-48v (the ENG being one of them). According to one source I found on the internet, it needs 6 volts, but I also found information elsewhere that seems to contradict that.
Is the VXLR+ likely to provide 6 volts under load? How can I measure the actual voltage drawn by the mic from the power unit under load? I would also appreciate any other advice.

2023.02.15 18:51 ifflejink Thoughts on the Reverend Sentinel?
Hi! So, I was looking at Reverend basses because I've got a Spacehawk and it's one of my favorite instruments. The Sentinel jumped out at me because it's got a short scale, it only weighs ~7.5 lbs, and it's got a toggle that looks like it gives more versatility than most P's. The problem is that I can't find a lot of information on it aside from a few threads on Talkbass, a Wildwood video, and one basically inaudible YouTube review. I'm also unfortunately not able to try one out at a showroom.
Has anyone tried out a Sentinel or bought one? What did you think of it? I'm going to be playing it in an indie/shoegaze context.
Thanks!

2023.02.02 21:17 tree_canyon Looking for info about a Klira bass
I recently impulse bought a Klira bass off of Facebook marketplace, and I'm on the hunt for information about it.
Pictures
From my limited findings I think it's a Klira Twen Star. I see "745" stamped into the neck which seems like it's the serial number and not the model number? The headstock doesn't have any inlay or logo, and the only Klira lettering is on the tailpiece.
I have found this post about a similar Klira bass but the pickups on theirs look different than mine (though, it could be a variety of the same model).
Does anyone have more information about Klira basses? My goal is to get an estimate for the year it was made.

2023.02.01 03:48 mrmeshshorts Classic Amp-Cab Question
Hey everyone!
Sorry for what is almost certainly a rehash question here. I searched google for discussions on Reddit and talkbass, but unfortunately, there ends up being so many variables and no consensus, so I’m left to coming to you guys begging!
I have a Gallen-Kruger MB500 amp. Runs 500W @ 4ohms. My current cab blew once ~5 years ago, and the replacement speaker I put in has blown again.
I need a new cab.
Very plainly as I am dumber than I look (and I look dumb already), what specs do I need in a cab to use this head? My understanding is that I can use an 8 ohm cab safely. Is this correct? What wattage would I need from the cab? I’m considering this cab as a temporary stop gap until I’m in a better position financially, would they play well together?
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SVT210AV--ampeg-svt-210av-2x10-inch-200-watt-classic-bass-cabinet
Anyways, any advice I can get on the subject would be much appreciated. And any discussion people would like to have is welcome, for posterity!
Thanks in advance everyone, what a great sub this is.

2023.01.21 18:49 nbloglinks Why People Prefer Reddit than google?
Reddit is a social news and entertainment website where registered users can submit content such as text posts or direct links, and users can vote submissions up or down to organize the posts and determine their position on the site’s pages.
Now here is a quick one for you!
Why People Prefer Reddit than google?
As you know google now having monopoly in search results and google search results are kind of very bias to their ad policies even to such extents that there are many cases against google from publishers in different countries and court fined google.
Besides I don’t find a discussion button in their search query nowadays! So google just killed all forum results which are available as free and high relevant to their readers in respective forums!
I don’t like to get highly filtered search results. Even if I get relevant results with google I have to scroll down to many pages to get a piece of text due to optimization done just to please google!
So I find there could be several reasons why people may prefer using Reddit over Google!
These below are just a few examples of the types of forums that are similar to Reddit. Each forum has its own unique features, community, and purpose. I would recommend visiting the website of each forum you’re interested in to learn more about it.
Just keep your discussion live!

- Personalized content: Reddit allows users to subscribe to specific communities or “subreddits” that align with their interests, so they are more likely to find content that is relevant and interesting to them. Google search results, on the other hand, can be more general and may not always be tailored to the individual’s interests.
- Community engagement: Reddit is built on a community-driven model, so users can engage with others who share their interests and participate in discussions. Google search results are generally just a list of links to websites, without much opportunity for engagement.
- Quality of information: Because Reddit content is generated by users and moderated by a community, there is a higher likelihood of finding accurate and reliable information. Google search results can be more hit-or-miss in terms of the quality of information.
- Authenticity: Reddit’s anonymity and ability to have an open discussion, allows users to express their true thoughts and feelings, this is a feature that google search lacks.
- Discussion: Reddit is a platform that mainly focuses on discussion around various topics, while Google search is more focused on providing information.
- User-generated content: Reddit is based on user-generated content, so you can find information and perspectives that you wouldn’t be able to find through a standard Google search.

Now here is a quick one for you!
Why People Prefer Reddit than google?
As you know google now having monopoly in search results and google search results are kind of very bias to their ad policies even to such extents that there are many cases against google from publishers in different countries and court fined google.
Besides I don’t find a discussion button in their search query nowadays! So google just killed all forum results which are available as free and high relevant to their readers in respective forums!
I don’t like to get highly filtered search results. Even if I get relevant results with google I have to scroll down to many pages to get a piece of text due to optimization done just to please google!
So I find there could be several reasons why people may prefer using Reddit over Google!
These below are just a few examples of the types of forums that are similar to Reddit. Each forum has its own unique features, community, and purpose. I would recommend visiting the website of each forum you’re interested in to learn more about it.

- Personalized content: Reddit allows users to subscribe to specific communities or “subreddits” that align with their interests, so they are more likely to find content that is relevant and interesting to them. Google search results, on the other hand, can be more general and may not always be tailored to the individual’s interests.
- Community engagement: Reddit is built on a community-driven model, so users can engage with others who share their interests and participate in discussions. Google search results are generally just a list of links to websites, without much opportunity for engagement.
- Quality of information: Because Reddit content is generated by users and moderated by a community, there is a higher likelihood of finding accurate and reliable information. Google search results can be more hit-or-miss in terms of the quality of information.
- Authenticity: Reddit’s anonymity and ability to have an open discussion, allows users to express their true thoughts and feelings, this is a feature that google search lacks.
- Discussion: Reddit is a platform that mainly focuses on discussion around various topics, while Google search is more focused on providing information.
