You change them that often... I was thinking the same, I remember restringing hundreds of instruments by hand from the LSU music department, now this would have been handy, well if it would have fit and not broken all the old tuners.

That in a 5 string would be amazing. That blue, is well, perfect. I am even considering a BEAD 4 string. So, I guess I will contact Ibanez asking how to get this in a 5 string... Ya know, to create the demand.

We still use a 5hp 3 phase variable speed (the good quick change style) Bridgeport. That thing is AWESOME. I would probably throw the keys in a lathe and use a parting tool to cut the heads off. Sure, the could be milled off, but a parting tool will take a few seconds and set up is way easier...

Machining a set of tuners to take a key is easy... but I do own a machine shop... I tuned in a symphony (many different instruments) for years off of an A from a piano or harp, maybe a flute if it was an orchestra. First time I was out with a Jazz band it was so noisy I went looking for my...

I would prefer sheet music, but finding sheet music for Bass is harder to find than complete, printable tabs. Most of these links are DEAD. The only site's I have found useful tabs are Big Bass Tabs and Songster. I am on the 2 week trial so I can print, unfortunately a lot of the tabs are...

I will get a Warwick one day, but for $300 you can get a used Ibanez SR500 or SR505. That is a lot of bass for $300. I also picked up a Fender Modern Dimension Bass on sale for $299. I was going to go in and spend $1k on a Bass, but now I have 2 and some extra cash when that right Warwick...

I need to refresh and learn some new skills. I haven't played seriously in 10 years. I have found a 20 year old kid and someone who teaches voice, piano, guitar, bass, etc. I am looking for someone who is a bass teacher. Any recommendations on where to find someone. Anybody here in the...

I ordered the MB112 and a powered 112 and a short mic cable.

I jacked it for sure. But good information was flowing and I didn't see a reason to start a new discussion. The OP was in here too. I ordered the GK112 and the add on speaker even though I have NO NEED for anything like that right NOW. I feel it is a better tool that the little Fender 25 I...

I am picking up the GK to replace my practice amp. Right now I have a $100 good for one thing amp. With the GK if I decide to play outside of friends and family jamming, then I have something to work with. If I bought a tube amp, it would be for a toy. For only $200 more than the amp I was...

So I am looking at this GK combo, the single 12 could do practice amp duty just fine. If I take of the $100 I get for returning the fender this is looking very promising as an option. Add $350 for the second speaker... probably just for looks 90% of its time, but a useful thing to have IMO. I...

See now this is how I get in trouble. I am now sitting here with a instant approval to BUY whatever I want at sweetwater for 0% for 36-48 months. That amp I was looking at that I couldn't justify is now just $10 a month... I think my Fender 25 is going back and I am going to pick up one of...

I was busy building callouses back up on my fingers. It is amazing how much comes back, and amazing how much does not...

Officemax needs to push for you. We are considered a high volume shipper, even though what we receive puts us in that category. I make a Fedex claim I get what I paid for within 24 hours in most cases. Unfortunately you local office didn't make the mistake... I could help you there. For some...

First, I have never played bass for money, well except one time in New Orleans when I was in a middle school Jazz band and the bus broke down and we set up on the side of the street and I used my Double bass with nylon strings to play on the street with a few members of the band and we collected...
