Re: Help with choosing the right song

Fabolous Baker Boys OST: Dave Grusin - Jacks Theme (with Brian Bromberg on Bass) or Ray Brown Trio - Cry me a river Both songs do have very little snare (can be ignored) and chord parts of pianoscore can be easily played by guitar.

PS: any singlestring-looks like single channel is plain lookalike. Piezo is dumb, not linear and plainly fixated on what your bass sounds like dry. End of the story for anyone who thought about having a flying-v with dimarzio overdrivers in...and a piezo 6-channel-was-expensive-bridge will turn ever...

I*ve created an even cheaper and mor customizable offer: A bass is a bass is a bass..is not an upright If it doesn't give an unamplified sound close to it, it's all wasted time and money.

btw. if you like to pimp your box for weight - look for your boxes volume and construction plans. If in doubt compare to similar ones. The slightly oversized ones do a better deep end, with "their speakers" attached. - so what speakers do they have? Get their data sheets and have look on the more or...

This post belongs here. (because of the two wrong placed ones above) Sure many of the elder amps are sort of unreplacable in thoughts of their owners and not so long ago I thought the same, when I heard blurry or artificcially clear sounding transistor amps, but did you ever try one of the elder tub...

(Must have been somewhat in the early 80s and it was like in every rocknroll film: Each...
