I hated the mb range mine was plagued with problems. but I had one of the first runs. first the 115 speaker went pop then when you ran it at 2 ohms the head suffered from thermal shut down issues I did like the classic tone when it worked

ive recently got m hands on 90's samick bass so the first thing I did as swap the old pick ups for a spare set of Duncan design ones out of my vmj.thing is the output is still thin and weak sounding.so whats the best way to increase the output? the bass plays well and is so light my back loves it

ive had a natural vmj for a while now.its been modified with new electronics and fender cs pick ups as well as a babicz high mass bridge.and it plays better than my fender or lakland the only problem I have is that after a gig my back aches like hell.so today I weighed the bass and it weighs twelve and three quarter pounds.im using a mono strap to try to help with the weight but it isn't working. any other helpful tips.also whats your heaviest basses

6 weeks ago we realised we needed a dep drummer for an upcoming gig so we gave him a setlist and a live recording of out set to learn.we had a few practices and all seemed good.that gig was tonight and it was a complete car crash.he was in to early or to late missing stops not stopping at the end of the song.we do a cover of times like these and god only knows what time signature he was playing it in.never again

Naff things that vocalists say (during the song)
bobbytodd replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
during all right now our singer changes the words to "I took her home to my place and I came all over her face" -
we usually start with holding d-e-g for a four count while our guitarist does some lead w***ery over the top of it right into metallicas version of whiskey in the jar
