I was playing my bass and it suddenly stopped making sound. I've already ruled out the cord and amp because I have another guitar and everything else works just fine. I have soldered the internals of a guitar back together (not in a while so I must have done a good job ;) so I am good with...

Any good speaker 18" speaker cabs out there?

Any opinions, good or bad, on ANY 215's? I'm thinking of buying two 115's or would a 215 be better?

My favorite bass songs from The Wall are Hey You (gotta love that rollin' fretless sound) and Another Brick in the Wall. I think those two songs have the best and most clearly audible bass out of any of them

Thanks

Ever been drowned out of the mix (live or record) by an egotistical guitarist who seemingly can't comprehend that a song isn't all just guitar? I used to play in a band with two guitarists that would always push me out of the mix. Anyone ever have that happen? Needless to say, I quit the...

I love Metallica... I would like to know how to get Jason Newsted's tone out of any amp. I don't want people giving me links to his gear list, trust me, I've already looked at those. I would like to know how he got his sound. What should I boost, what should I cut. I love the tone on...

I'm uprgrading from a 4 string, and I have no problems playing the 6. I love the extra low string and the added high string. I find it actually much, much easier to play the 6 versus my 4. Espically when it comes to slapping

So, I tried out an Ibanez SDGR6. It's a 6 string and I love the feel and sound of the bass. I am thinking of buying it. Opinions on this bass?

I'm not sure if you're asking me this, but I'll reply anyway. I am not prejudiced against pick playing bassists. I used to play guitar, was good at it, but I love the feel, sound and quirks of bass playing. I played guitar for almost 10 years before I 'switched' (I still play guitar) and...

Wow! This is a great thread! Doing both would be real cool, sharp attack vs warm sound. Anyone try to do both, ie. plectrum between thumb and index, last three fingers for finger picking? - Jimmy Rage Yes, I have. I have kind of mastered the art of playing with my fingernails to get the...

I do not mean to offend anyone who plays with a pick! I am confused. I mainly play with my fingers, and have gotten very, very good at doing fast runs for a long period of time. But I sometimes also play with a pick because I'm writing a bass and guitar song that requires the bass to have...

Has anyone used any Peavey PA Systems? Anything from the PR or PV Series is great. Tell me all the details of the speakers and what you thought of them

By the way, is that your own track? Or did you just add bass?

I like it a lot! I am thinking of starting my own mixing studio, and you and I seem to have close to the same ear. What mixing program do you use? FL Studio...Pro Tools?
