    Subway D-800 w/ Active 5 String Bass Question

    Thanks for your response, Bandit! You have an amazing setup, by the way! I'm completely embarrassed to report that after some more trial and error with my son's setup, it turns out that he had the active bass and treble knobs on the bass guitar maxed out, which was sending too strong of a...

    Subway D-800 w/ Active 5 String Bass Question

    I've been playing Boogie guitar amps for over 30 years, so when my son decided he wanted to play bass, I confidently bought him a brand new Subway D-800 with a Subway 15 speaker cab. The problem is that the amp seems to distort easily when trying to crank it up using his Schecter 5 string with...

    How would you clean a dusty speaker?

    Besides cranking the crap out of the amp of course!!! 8) I have a Mesa 4x12 cab w/ Metal Grill that has been in storage for a while and the speakers have accumulated what can best be described as gunk. I was tempted to either blow them out w/ compressed air or go over the speakers lightly...

    Anyone know where I can find PickBoy picks?

    Anywhere besides eBay please!!! :P I've been using the Meta Carbonates for as long as I can remember and I'll go through some serious withdrawal if they have been discontinued. I've not been able to locate a music store in the South Texas area that carries them. Anybody know of a reputable...

    How Important Is the EQ on a IIC+?

    If I may add my two cents: Since 1991 I have been on the mindset that the onboard EQ was absolutely essential to MY sound. When I stopped gigging regularly three years ago, I began to openly experiment with different settings, which included bypassing the EQ. You know how they say you should...

    Alder vs. Mahogany?

    I'm not a fan of mahogany bodies either due to a personal experience... had a custom built ESP guitar made out of mahogany w/ a maple top. Rhythm-wise it had a very unpronounced sound which could best be described as loose as opposed to tight... However, when playing leads, the guitar sang and...

    Who inspired you to play a boogie?

    Back in '83 when MTV WAS music television, I saw a Night Ranger concert taped live from Japan and I was immediately taken by Brad Gillis' tone and technique. He was the first player I had ever heard (and eventually met!) that played through boogies. Oh, and Jeff Watson wasn't bad either...
