Re: Faulty practice amp

So, as I mentionned, I played with the amp at a tradeshow I was at last week with an American colleague of mine that brought his guitar (in the hotel lobby). I could fiddle with the wires to make the noise disappear, but it would always come back after a couple minutes, likely due to vibrations. I c...

Re: Faulty practice amp

That is weird. White noise usually comes from a failing component, not wiring. It might be a faulty connector. Assuming the connectors are normal "quick connect" type, I would use needle-nose pliers to gently tighten the connectors and see if that helps. . Connector1.jpg It's more of a constant hum...

Faulty practice amp

Just bought a used IBZ10B from Ibanez to travel with. I like the format, 10w is plenty for bedroom (or hotel room) volumes and it's a bass amp. It was cheap. It does have an issue though: There is considerable white noise, even without an instrument and with the volume down. Tried into multiple outl...

Re: Ps6 harmonist

Welcome to the forum!

Switching "live" is pretty difficult with the PS-6. Not something I'd recommend.
As far as the whammy, I've never tried it with the expression pedal (I know, shame on me!) but I can try later.

Re: New Bass Day!!!

Here is a picture. Considering making the pickguard orange with a carbon fiber texture to give it a little personality of its own. Thoughts? http://photos.marcaurele.ca/PXL_20230208_023430026.jpg I've played a lot with it yesterday and I've come to some conclusions. - I've played with a lot of Ibane...

New Bass Day!!!

Pictures to come, but pulled the trigger on a 5-string Dingwall Combustion NG2 after visiting their factory in Saskatoon last week on a work trip. That multiscale neck is otherworldly. Never heard a B string this tight before. B, C, C#/Db, D and D#/Eb actually sound like notes, not some inaudible gr...

Re: New Boss pedal SL-2 Slicer

I was at Long & McQuade yesterday and saw one in the flesh. Was THIS CLOSE to just pulling the trigger.
