    Making drum tracks

    I'm recently just getting into the whole producing aspect of things, mainly going solo because I find it hard to properly translate my ideas into written music for musicians to play, specifically drums. I find myself awkwardly banging on tables and making grotesque sounds with my mouth to...

    MIDI Bass?

    As a bass player whose just getting into the composing aspect of music, I'm finding it hard to translate some ideas to other musicians (seeing that I don't have a string formal background in music). I'm saving up to buy my very first multieffects pedal (Zoom B3 partially for the built in...

    Can you play ahead of the beat?

    The best way to answer an arrogant guitar player is bass-slapping the poopie out of him

    Neck tension when disassembling

    I'm looking to remodel my old bass with the help of a professional but no luthier. I just want to remove the neck so I can spray the body without altering the neck. If I were to disassemble the bass (detach the body from the neck), spray the body then put the neck back on, can I simply put on...

    Shipping guitar with airport luggage

    One of my close relatives happens to be in the US, and I've given her enough money to buy me a brand new MusicMan Stingray 4HH, and she's coming back in about a week. International shipping being out of my financial reach (would cost around 800$) (i'm the one financing this whole deal, yes i'm...

    Where are the weirdos?

    Rare are the people that look up underground music, they just enjoy taking in whatever makes it's way down their throat from the media and such. Don't get me wrong, the big bands are classics because they set the standards for western music but on the other hand it's no fun listening to the same...

    Music Man basses

    Well to all of you advising me to buy used I am afraid that is not an option. I live in Lebanon (hopefully someone on here should know where that is) and many famous brands aren't available at display in local shops (musicman being one of these fine brands), and are only available through...

    Music Man basses

    I'm a self taught slapper (since my teacher says I'm not ready for this specific type of playing whatever) and picked up most my technique from guys like Les Claypool, Marcus Miller and all the other geniuses that I can"t recall their names because human brain, so I slap exclusively on the space...

    Music Man basses

    My main question is why don't you see more famous artists using ones. I'm not claiming that famous bassists are better , far from that, but why is fender dominating the battlefield?

    Music Man basses

    I'm a bit worried about getting a single H, primarily or tonal reasons. The doube HH seems to fill in all the gaps left by the single H since you can get 5 pu combinations. Sure it's all just variation on a theme but i would take the HH over the H any day

    Music Man basses

    well you do see a lot more jazz basses around the music scene and in the music business considering any artist which gets famous own a jazz (though I am aware that Fender does give them free of charge to some artists and probably even pays some for publicity reasons so to speak). I'm not...

    Music Man basses

    I'm considering buying a Music Man Stingray 4HH as my first serious bass (I'm 16) and pretty convinced that I should spend 15 hundred on a guitar because it's got it all. But a couple questions still boggle me. 1st I don't see as much on the music scene, considering it's just as good as fender...

    Can anyone get the bassline/progression to this tune?

    As I already mentioned, go a bit through the album. This kind of music isn't for everyone but when you take some time to actually enjoy the music being played amd the effort and the soul being put into their art and not just how much theory or musical prowess they have ...etc. I mean sure this...
