Thanks everyone who replied...even the negative comments are helpfull. Truthfully, I'm just glad to be doing something again. I'm hoping that it will work out, but if not, at least I'll have a bit more experience and confidence. I'm going to give it an honest try. I think there will be some...

Well, as the title indicates, I'm starting a new band. I played in an original rock band for a few years and finally got tired of the egos and drama. I eventually quit and began to search the CL ads. Nothing really popped out, so I thought about just starting something from scratch. Anyway...

Subcribed...too many great clips to watch at work..lol Now I'm even more inspired to get a band going again.

Well, I don't have much, but these are live recordings from a couple years ago. I was only 1 year into playing bass and it was my first band so please be kind..lol. My playing wasn't very "technical", I just wanted to post something. I left the band last year and now just starting to look at...

Fieldy from Korn...I can't believe no one mentioned him yet...:hmm:

+1, get over it and play it, otherwise hang it on the wall and quit playing.

...when your guitards see you arrive with a 5-string for the first time and get mad at you because it's not a normal 4 string and have no idea what you're playing...it doesn't match their tuning and they can't follow along. ...when your bandmates see you arrive with a 5-string for the first...

I've thought about the same thing. I don't see it being very complicated to do. Right now I'm just finishing a DOD 250 overdrive clone with bass mods. Let us know if you do this and how it works out. I have seen cheap dept. store brand guitars in the past with distortion circuits built in. I'd...

+1 I like the sound too, but it get's old when every song has that same sound. Anyway, I read on musiciansfriend.com that he also uses an Ibanez PD7 pedal.:hmm:

The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed in the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety. It is very much like a UL listing...

Here's my budget rig... Yorkville BM400 Head, used - $125 Avatar NEO 410 cab, barely used - $150 ...both were craigslist specials, and the avatar cab was posted by a guy who just needed the money. He had 2 and only really wanted one, the cab looked brand spankin new. This is the best deal...

I agree, I started on 4 and just bought a 5er. It took me about a week to get used to it and start working the B string into a few songs. I have a 4 as a backup and it's really hard to play smoothly. Way easier to go 4 to 5 then 5 to 4. I'm looking to sell the 4 and get another 5er as a backup.
