    TC Electronic's biggest mistake on BG250 combos

    If your guitarist has a 100 Watt Marshall stack, you shouldn't even be thinking about a combo. You need need a head/cab/s set up to keep up with 100 w guitar amps.

    New La Bella flats

    I've had my P bass strung TB with Labela's for the last 4 years. It's my primary bass, and has been played a ton during this time, with no issues. I'm not recommending this by any means...it works for me....YMMV.

    John Paul Jones: the good, the bad, and the ugly

    Yes, they would get sloppy, and so did many other great bands...Stones another great example. As for JPJ ...he did no wrong. Page was sloppy and would bring rest along for the ride. Still on of my favorite band and JP one of my favorite guitarist. I would rather hear some slop and emotion rather...

    Why are tuner pedals so expensive?

    Well dude, you're either in tune or you're not. I choose to use a proper tool for the job.

    Bass lines that make you yawn

    I don't find any bass line boring if the band is grooving the song. If it bores you...you shouldn't be playing the song. This makes for a boring bass player.

    Does this bother anyone's OCD? [FIXED]

    Those little bags over the tuning keys...bother me, a lot. Why do have those on there? Thanks for fixing the string, but it's still a bothersome picture.

    Are the big amps history?

    I use what sounds best to me, and that's an all tube amp. I don't normally need 300 watts, so 100 watt tube works perfectly for me. I do use a lighter 212 cab. YMMV

    Next to a Fender, what's the epitome of cool?

    The player makes the bass cool.

    What do you think of this trade??

    It's a parts bass, not an am standard. I wouldn't trade an MIJ for a parts bass.

    Poll : Fender Free?

    What does "Fender Free" mean? Like being liberated from a brand you feel has inhibited your growth as as musician? I'm trying to get the true meaning of your question/poll.
