    Warrior Signature 6?

    I have the first production bass of the Warrior Adam Nitti Signature series. Was delivered at Christmas time back on '03. I still can't play anything like you, Adam. What's up with that?

    I'm new...

    Want downzising

    I have a Shuttle 6.0 and a 9.0 and really like both. The 6.0 I use with two small Bergantino cabs. The 9.0 I use with two Dr. Bass cabs. I use an Aguilar Tone Hammer with both. I am very pleased with the sound.

    Gig in two weeks and i have 60 songs to learn!!!!

    I recently went through a similar experience. 40 songs. 20 originals, 10 I had not heard, 10 I at least recognized. Listen to them constantly. Arrive early to the show and get a guitarist to go over the sets with you. I was fortunate that one of the guitarists sat with me before the...

    Country headache

    Go to a music store and try an octave pedal. If you are satisfied with the sound that will probably be your simplest quick fix. If the work justifies it, then you should get a five string.
