    Don't use Ernie Ball Cobalts on a string through the body bridge!

    Not on a bass, but If you have a term bar it lifts it a lot

    Learn me--Fender's different levels of basses...

    The new Squires are very nice, you can find affities but they aren't the standard. Mim deluxe are nice guitars and basses.

    Oddest question asked in an audition...

    Question was to myself Does a 300lb red neck, missing 3 fingers, admittedly self inflicted, think he's a marketable lead man, thank goodness he wasn't any good.

    Looking for a guitar

    If I had had 1000, Charvel, Fender MIM deluxe anything, ibanez, all price ranges, sometimes the big difference is electronics not constuction.

    Bass won't stay in tune up and down the neck

    I hear the others but if that isn't it, are your machine heads in good shape? Re read it, they sound closer, I understood whole neck at once.

    Guitar center wiped out!

    Also, I lived in San Diego till 2005, La Mesa was an A store, one of the originals downtown on B st. They went heavy bass dept, entire wall of Warwick and some of everything, SWR was still a factor, Ampeg sponsored and area, they don't get the return on their money on bass and this was a dream...

    Guitar center wiped out!

    I sold a used strat yesterday, top dollar, as a business manager in the 90's they are just adjusting to the market. I here people are picking up guitar to fill a void, but we are diffrent.

    Can you lead your child towards bass?

    I was forced to learn classical guitar first, with no rock and roll instructions. I play what I want to much better

    I'd like some opinions on Sandberg and Spector basses!

    Spector I've played, long scale, average neck in my Opion, be careful you don't buy one that's been in the warehouse a very long time, and we'll exit on that note.

    Is it worth to learn guitar?

    I started on a wide neck nylon string classical guitar, it was the late 60s or very early 70s so Mom said " no rock and roll" high school networking got me rocking. took many years to pick up a bass, but, all but one gig, and there's been many were bass. so id say sure but one at a time.

    New to 5 string, now 4's feel odd

    I've tried, but once you get used to a 5er, I'm stuck.

    Overlooked Albums By Popular Bands

    All of AC/DC before Scott died, stated listening on powerage, bought everything prior, since Johnson it's the same album over and over, not a falsetto fan either.
