    I played a five string today...

    I play bass and Doublebass. Originally the full range of a bass included the 5th string, i mean hundreds of yrs ago. Every piece of music written by beethoven or any other composer around these years took advantage of the 5th string of the doublebass, then it went fading away to what we know...

    Need help with a Yamaha RBX375!!!

    Hey people, i hope to get some advice or solution from you. I have a Y Rbx375 setted up with action and tuning very simmilar to Korn's Fieldy type of sound, (just for an experiment) but i think the extremely low action has done something to the bass tone, (in my other basses i have really low...

    Best bass multi effect pedal? And should I buy a multi effect or individual pedals?

    As you can see Omri Shavit, many or most of us start into this effects world with a Multifx, i think its the best way to understand each effect and how it works with others, and also how each effect can improve your sound or when to use each. I dont have one, but i highly recommend you the zoom...
