Hi, yes tried it with a few

Afternoon, Can anyone offer some guidance please? I have an Ampeg SGT DI, about 3 yrs old and out of warranty. Used maybe 20 times. It was working fine until it stopped the other night at a rehearsal. All lights still work, the Aux in still works ok but i can't get any sound from the DI out (what I normally use) or the headphones out. I've tried a factory reset and checked that the software is up to date. If I tap my finger on the end of a lead plugged into the Input jack i can get the compression light to light up faintly but no where near as bright as it used to. Any ideas? I don't want to pay loads to have someone tell me it's going to cost loads to fix and I also don't want to just chuck it it the bin either so would prefer to gift it on to someone for spares/parts. Many thanks in advance, Rory

Afternoon All, I'm after some recommendations for a decent bass related read while I'm sat by the pool (having been dragged away reluctantly by my wife to the med for a week). Previous years have seen me enjoying Geezer Butler and Geddy Lee's autobiographies. The Bastard Instrument was also great. Basically (all puns intended) anything bass/rock related to keep me sane while I'm not able to plug my bass in and play along to what ever I'm listening to. Any suggestions please folks??

Morning, I'm in a classic rock covers band (Thin Lizzy, ACDC, The Who etc) at the moment and just wondering how long similar bands sets are? We total about 2 1/2 hours split over two sets with 13 tracks in the first and 15 in the second. How long are yours (if it's not too personal a question)? Thanks

Morning, I've found a lovely Sandberg 48 for sale privately on FB marketplace. The seller is happy to courier at my expense (it's more than a few hundred miles away). What's the best way to organise the payment? I could simply do a bank transfer but then probably open myself to potential issues with being ripped off. I've done this in the past and it's all worked fine but the fact that I'm sending someone I don't know a grand makes me a bit twitchy. Any good ideas about how to go about this? Thanks in advance

charts have counted since about 1988 if you ask me

Evening all, Can anyone help to clarify? One of my band mates is telling me that the bass line for Rock and Roll changes pattern from the rest of the song at around the 2:56 to 3 minute mark. He says that the progression changes to the D early (i think it's bar 130). While I can hear the guitars doing this I can't hear the bass changing from the A to the D. To me the progression for the bass is the same all the way through. Maybe it's my hearing though. Any ideas?

Evening, I've recently joined a new band and am trying to learn a load of new songs. I know all of the songs (to listen to) but am wondering what techniques, aside from simple repetition, that I can use to learn/remember them. Any ideas? what works for you lot?

i'm tempted to do just that. Use the B as a rest

Alright, might be a stupid question but here goes. Has anyone ever removed the B string and played a five as a four? I've found a few 5 string US Jazz basses in my price range but no 4 strings at the same price range.

anyone got the tab for this?

great, i was aware that both pedals at one activated a tuner but if it's a bypass as well I'll use that. Many thanks....I'm off to finish a bottle of red!

Evening, It's probably a very easy question but here goes......I have a B1on and intend to use it in line with a Boss tuner and other pedals. My question is, can the B1 be used inline but turned off so i can use the other pedals? if so, how do i do this please? Any help gratefully appreciated for this new bass player.
