Thanks for those links, Frank. Yes, I can definitely see the resemblance between the R8 and the setup we had when I was in high school. As to your question about me and computer software, I can't think of when I've ever actually sat down and "learned" a new computer program. I build a lot of...

I saw that recording 101 post, but none of the links I clicked seemed to work. Is this more or less what you had in mind? Recording 101 - collection of articles Aaron

So... My wife and I now have about a 2 hour set list of stuff we've worked up for solo bass and vocal. (Me playing the bass, her singing). We've been thinking of doing some recording. So I sit down to look at a Sweetwater catalog today, and discover that I don't have the faintest idea what...

do you recall how approximately how much did that neck work cost? Aaron

hey all, just taking an informal poll: I can't seem to buy gloves that fit, anymore. I apparently now have thumbs the size of glove models' thighs. I can't figure out if this is from 30 years of playing bass, from my salmon cannery days, or just from some random weird genetics. Any of you that...

Yep, that was it. I had tried pushing on that before, but after reading this, I looked again, and noticed that part of the plastic looked like it was slightly wedged on the housing. I pushed a bit harder, and bingo, there's the answer. Thanks for the assistance, all. Since I got it used, I've...

So, it appears that I do have a bad battery, but that the battery is really hard to get to. If you look in the pics, you can see that you've got to take all the screws out and weasel the whole unit out the sound hole by the front of the body. So there's no easy access battery over by the base of...

I'd try "uship." Rates often get pretty reasonable, and a real person who comes and gets them is likely to care more about your stuff than a more anonymous company would. I got a 1500 pound planer shipped to me from MN, for real cheap. Have done it with a couple other items, too.

Hmm, I took out the screws, and sure didn't see anywhere to stick a battery. I'll have to look again.Also, my control panel doesn't look like an LR Baggs panel, maybe that means it's a fishman pickup. Aaron

Hi, all: I've got a 5 string Tacoma acoustic bass. It's one of the ones made before Fender bought the company. I've had it for years, but have never actually plugged it in until a few days ago, and the pickup doesn't seem to work. When I first plug it in, I can hear sounds coming out of my...

Thanks, all, for all the suggestions. This will bet me started on the hunt, with a whole bunch of ideas, which is what I was hoping for. Aaron

I do quite a bit of chording. You are also right, that our repertoire doesn't generally call for much distortion or anything. However, sometimes having something available gives you a cool idea you wouldn't have had, otherwise. We do a fun version of the old irish tune "here's health to the...

Got any links to somebody playing bass through this pedal? Everything I'm finding so far is guitar.

Yep, I've been the less is more guy, for 30 years. Just been thinking that some effects might be handy in this scenario. Aaron
