    Backbone of your band

    I'd say that it would probably be our lead guitarist/lead singer, he's our lyricist and comes up with alot of the basic outlines for our songs as well. The rest of us create our parts around him and he's our "leader". My role is to be the comic relief of our band. The other 3 have some pretty...

    yes yes I know another thread asking for help, but i did a search and couldn't find what I needed so I'm sorry if I missed something. My band is currently organizing a 2-3 week tour in the tristate (KS, MO, ARK,) area and i was wondering how do you guys who do lots of touring book your shows...

    Relationships within your band

    I get along with all 3 of the guys in the band, but more so with the lead singer/rhythm guitarist and drummer than the lead guitar player. This is only because the lead guitarist is really really picky about how we sound and has cancelled at least 2 shows without consulting us because we weren't...

    Need Mature, Experianced Advice... or whatever you got.

    ^^^I would say skip the backline and look for the 700RB, all the backlines I've played through have been a bit shoddy and the 700 is a great step up

    Alright I'm Confused As ****

    Alright here's the deal, I've been looking into replacing the EMG HZ's on my Schecter Stilleto Elite 5 which are passive and replacing them with either some Bartolini actives or EMG actives. I popped open the back of my elite and I remember that I have a 9V in the back, now I'm new to the pup...
