Hello again TB! For the summer exam we have to transcribe and play 64 bars of a solo. I'm having quite a hard time finding bass solos that are that long and don't require a high c-string to be played. Can you help me out on this? To give you an idea of the style I'm looking for: last summer I...

Hello TB, the tuning post of my low b-string on my Cort Action VA-5 broke apart yesterday. I've been thinking about getting a Hipshot d-tuner for a while and I think this is the opportunity. Can somebody tell me which one will fit this bass? The GB7 or the M4? Thanks!

Thanks again. The Squier and the Vampyre have a different neck radius/shape but I like both of those necks. I'm not sure though if I would like a big P-Bass neck. Haven't seen any Ps with jazz necks (never knew they existed, except for the Acteive Deluxe ones). And like said, I'm not really...

Oh, I forget to mention that I only use the split-coil pickup. Is it just the pickup? Will let's say an ESP PJ sound similar? Or are there other significant factors like electronics (active/passive or other differences), wood, neck size. I hope this will not end in the old known endless...

hello TB, I own a Squier P-Bass special and I love it's tone. It was my first bass and it feels like it wont last too long anymore. Sooner or later I'll need a new one. I also have a Rockbass Vampyre that I use in the same band. It's a very nice instrument but lately I've been preferring the...

Thanks so far. I see how the "Pang" matches my description but it's not what we're looking for. Since I lack the vocabulary to give a more precise description of it's sound in English I'll just post that link. We're hitting it a lot harder though and when played loud this cymbal really comes to...

Hello TB, our drummer's Paiste 2002 18" Rock China has a crack. it's still working but the crack will get bigger. The drummer, the other bandmates and me (as a drummer and producer), we all love that cymbal. It has the softer attack of a crash and the swoosh of a china to it and it sounds very...

Ok thanks. So I'll have to get it to a tech. If it's just the tubes he should be able to change the bad one (or if needed all of them) and do the bias-thing even if he's not an authorized Peavey-tech, right? And biasing is a pro-only thing right? I'm actually pretty interested in fixing stuff...

Today at rehearsal I heard a scratchy noise from my VB-2 rig like when a cable is badly connected to a pedal or something, only that all my connections were good. It stopped after a couple of seconds of playing and then came back again. Then I saw one of the power tubes flashing up. I've never...

hello TB, I'm planning to do a big mic shoot-out with some singers (classical, jazz, metal). For that I'll use the studio we have at music school. It has a very nice and well-treated recording room which is (I'm estimating) 20 by 30 feet. There are also 6 (I think) movable acoustic walls...

Basically what the title says. In summer we'll have an exam in music school where I have to play a tune, melody comping, solo. So I need some tunes that work well with bass playing the melody. I've played Four and Spain at the entry exam last year so none of these and not So What either. ;) I...

Our first live clip. It was the second gig with this band (my "main" band) we had a lot of technical problems but I think we gave our best. enjoy and please comment. :) Link Removed (free demo under music!) https://www.facebook.com/septagrammofficial

It was this one but with 16 Ohms: Link Removed At least the other guy said so, it had no sign on the back.

Sorry I haven't had too much time lately (moving, school, music...). That would be very interesting. But the mod is only made in the US and getting it from there back to europe would get pretty expensive I guess? I'll think about it, certainly sounds good. Thanks
