    Jazz bass hum question.

    Played Toby Keith's Bar and Grill in Denver a couple years ago. Took active and passive basses. Used an amp, bypassed the amp....still same buzz. Turns out from talking to more people, under the stage is lined with electrical wiring. Sometimes there's nothing you can do except wish you can kick...

    Jazz bass hum question.

    Sometimes a building has power than just really causes problems. Could be so many causes for a little annoying buzz. Chances are, you'll have the same issue the next time you're in the same room

    Tab request - Country Must Be Countrywide by Brantley Gilbert

    The Tab is extremely close. It was tracked a half step down so a lot of the fills are when you can use open strings. That was tracked over a year ago, so I'll have to go back and listen because everything seems to evolve a little differently live as time goes on. I'll see if I can put up a...

    Why I'm returning my Fishman Fission - a review in 2 octaves, overdriven

    I've never tried this pedal so I really have no clue what it sounds like. As far as the actually Brantley Gilbert bass tones are concerned, album cuts are a '63 Jazz through an Avalon U5 and a vintage Ampeg Flip Top cranked to the point of getting a tube overdrive sound straight out of the amp...

    Fender Pawn Shop '72 RW

    Billy Sheehan put a Gibson EBO at the neck position of his famous P-Bass "The Wife" in 1972! Just a thought. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    05' Ampeg Svt3-pro "Low Switch" Mud when DISengaged

    I have the same setup, 3Pro & 410HLF. Now I use active Fenders but I also always leave my Ultra Lo feature engaged.

    Precision buying advice

    What about a used Road Worn. I think they sound killer.

    Playing while disabled!

    I've seen a man play my bass with only one hand. I'm sure you can play in a chair for a few months. ;)

    Jimmie Lee Sloas

    The gold jazz was built by Jerry Jones to the same specs as his '64. It has been modded over the years but I'm pretty sure its the Dimarzio pups with the mid shift. He does use an SVT. But don't think that he doesn't use many basses in the studio. He's been known to use pretty much any bass to...

    Be Honest: Would You Ever Sell-Out?

    Well, if I decided to stay "true" to the sound of the band, yet no one liked it, then I would be playing small bars, not getting paid while going to work some job that I hate with Bill Lumburg telling me what to do all day long. I think I can handle having a record label tell me what to do...

    Management Companies

    A manager is in the business to make money. The main things to think about is: 1. What percentage is your manager taking and what all is that percentage coming out of? Your sources of income are Live Touring, Record Sales, Publishing, Merch. Does your manager want a percentage of all of this...

    Basslines vs Frailns

    Ok, so my main basses are 2 Reggie Hamilton Jazz Basses. One with a Badass II and the other stock. The stock Reggie of coarse has a natural woody tone. They come with an 18V pre. I love both of these basses. Now I have purchased a stock Jazz Bass V 24 that was built with the standard...

    What Will Squier Do Next?

    The Affinity models have alder bodies and rosewood boards. I took a jazz and poly'd the neck and replaced the pups with the 60's reissues. It sounds awesome!
