    Squelching and feedback

    Hello fellow Bassists. After playing for about 5 min in active mode, I get a horrible squelching and feedback sound from Ampeg BA-108 and GK MB115. What is best trouble shooting process to go through to identify and fix the problem? This is the first time it's happened. Thanks

    DO's and DONT's Please

    Great point about the distance band members must travel for rehearsal. Reason I didn't join a band I was invited to join.

    Bass, drum, guitar, keyboard. Guitar and or keyboard player to sing as well. To me a harp would be nice but a really good one is as hard to find as a really good drummer in the northern Virginia, DC area. Thanks for your answer.

    DO's and DONT's Please

    Going to try and put together a 4-5 piece Blues Band from scratch in 2017. This has been on my bucket list so I'm going to give it 1000% and see what happens. Some do's and don'ts from those with experience in bands will be greatly appreciated. I got the pray part down. Thanks.

    Need 5 String set up help

    As an intermediate 4 string player (blues, church rock and smooth Jazz) I'm being asked what set-up specs I want for a new Lakeland 5501 which will have DR 045-125 med round stainless strings. What should I say without sounding like an idiot so the people doing the set up will give me something...
