I wanted to get more of an aggressive, punchy tone. My sire is very warm and I love it too though. I played an actual music man at a music store near my house and loved it but the price tag was more than I wanted to spend. I'm by no means trying to get rid of my sire. I just wanted to add a music man and wanted some opinions on them

That was what I was TRYING to do lol but the sterling fell into my lap so I jumped on it and purchased it. I had a day to make the decision too and since I played an actual music man, I made the quick decision to purchase it.

I've actually been working my way towards one of Sire's precision basses! I have a sire l7 and the v7 and I have wanted one of the precision basses since the last time I used one about 3 months ago. For me, I like both my v7 and the sterling pretty evenly at the moment but eventually I wanted an actual music man. They are about $2,000-$3,000 USD but I didn't want to spend that much just yet before I did more research and asked for some professional opinions lol

Not sure if this has been asked before but I wanted to ask some experienced people for their honest opinion. I have a sire V7 base that I absolutely love. I just bought a sterling by Music Man Stingray RAY4HH. I've been seeing a lot of videos about the music man bases and I really like the way they sound but didn't want to spend the money it cost to get one just yet so I got a sterling. It's in mint condition so it's pretty good quality and it sounds pretty nice but I still don't know that much about them. Anybody have any opinions on them? Do you prefer sire over Sterling or vice versa? Everything I've read online is pretty split down the middle or it's one extreme or the other so can't really get any straightforward opinions

I just realized I messed up lol. I meant to say I only have one SPEAKER cable and was the market for more. I have a lot of instrument cables. SPEAKER cables is what I'm in the market for!

I just bought a Hartke HA3500 Bass Amplifier, Hartke Series VX115 Bass, and Hartke VX3500 Bass off Facebook marketplace. The person I bought it from comes from a very musically inclined family and regularly performs and knows quite a biy. This specific rig was the uncle's that was used for gigs. Nothing wrong with it. He was upgrading and needed the space. I'm working on some jam sessions and small gigs but I only have one SPEAKER cable so I'm in the market for a couple more. What's a good brand or type that I won't have to replace to soon lol. A professional touring musician friend of mine said I needed to look for 10 gauge minimum and would probably be best making my own if I can't find any. I'd rather not screw them up and try and buy some lol but everything is see is for instruments or is 12 gauge. I would also like to try and get some with two right angles but if not then I can always get an adapter. I attached some pictures of the rig as well! What do you guys think?

I'm trying to upgrade my ampeg practice amp and saw a Fender Rumble 40 that is in mint condition on Facebook marketplace for $150 USD. New they are about $250 USD. This will be used mostly for home practice and very small jam sessions. What you guys think? If not a Rumble 40, maybe something else in the same price range?

I will definitely look into those! I have a local Music Go Round a few miles from me and I think I saw some of those this weekend. I just didn't have time to sit and play with them but I'm definitely gonna check them out this coming weekend

Honestly, probably something less than 300-400 usd for now. I've been looking at quite a bit of used stuff and keep seeing Peavy and ampeg things. I also keep seeing things about the Trace Elliot Elf amp so I was thinking about getting that and pairing it with a decent cab.

I feel like I'm reaching the end of my beginner stages and starting my intermediate stages as a player. Right now I have an ampeg BA 108 but I'm looking to upgrade to a good head and can or combo amp. I don't want to break the bank though. I am also starting to do some jam sessions with some coworkers and they're talking about a small gig at the end of the year. Any suggestions?

What kind of bass head would you recommend? I consider myself in the early stages of being an intermediate player. I'd like something that wouldn't break the bank as well.

Yes I am and eventually (hopefully) do a gig or 2. Still ways away though. And I will definitely look into these!!

Not sure just yet! I know my amp is just a practice amp and I've gotten good enough to where I need something better but not sure what to get. I was looking at a peavey 410 tvx that I saw used online and thought that would be a decent-ish start without breaking the bank but it's just a cab. Heads are more expensive and I was just trying to see if I needed to get one. I have a marshall code 100 but that's for guitar and I'd hate to damage it using it for bass.

I was wondering if I can use a combo amp as a preamp into a bass cabinet. Nothing really concrete online as to if I can or cannot or how to do it. I'm stuck between buying another combo amp or buying a head and cabinet (which is honestly what I'm leaning towards) but they are more expensive. I have an Ampeg ba 108 combo amp and I was wondering if it would work with a base cab? Can I just plug it in and run it? Or is that now how it works? Am I better off just buying a an amp head?

A lot of times, we play some simpler songs since our sessions are open to all skill levels. We have people that literally just started a couple weeks ago to people that are professional musicians that have toured the world for 40 plus years. I really enjoy them because you get to learn from different perspectives and learn how each person speaks the "language"
