    Has any one regretted selling a certain bass?

    I somewhat regret selling my SX P/J with the natural finish and old headstock. I sold it to help pay for my Greg Bennett Semi-acoustic so I am not too upset. I love my Royale Bass.:bassist:

    Just did a load in for gig, just to re-pack

    I think you should give her the benefit of the doubt. You assume that what your back feels like is what she is experiencing. If she truly reached it the wrong way the muscles can be severely whacked. I have had times where I can't leverage myself up, always from twisting and lifting at the same...

    What does your username mean?

    Nothing as cool as it seems. I am a large guy whose last name is McMurray and I have two children. BigM(a)cDaddy.

    What would you do? (Ethical question)

    I have been in this situation, and I did return it. It is the right thing to do. I understand that it is "legally a gift", but that doesn't make it right.

    Why is it so hard to come up with a name for a band?

    My band, 1Irishman, got its name because we couldn't decide. Then we got to talking about our heritages and it turned out that we each had just about enough Irish in us to be one irishman. We jokingly said it as a name, and no one puked. Then thing that made it stick is that people outside of...

    Eden WTX264 vs Carvin BX250

    I just started using the WTX, so maybe things will change, but in my living room I don't even hear the fan when it is running. I just used it with the EX110 cab as part of a benefit gig this past weekend and it held it's own with the Carvin BX that the bassist in the previous band had. Just...

    How to make a bass sound only one octave higher?

    This, or, assuming you are tuned in fourths, go up one string and over 7 frets or even up two and over two. That's how I would handle it.

    bass guitarsecrets.com

    I bought this when I first started. I feel that it is actually worth the money. There are no secrets, true, but he has a lot of good stuff in there. It starts off small and builds up. Some of the writing is odd, but I didn't buy it for that. He gives a good amount of theory without being...

    Buddy asked me for my rate, and I dont know what to charge!!

    I would have to agree that you must not be close. $60 for gas for a grand total of 40 minutes of driving? $40 for food? You must be a huge man in a 1980's hummer.

    Just bought a new MM stingray for $1097. How good a deal?

    Seem like a fair deal. I would suggest that a question like this should really be done before purchasing. The MM Stingrays are good, but I would never buy something without playing it first, personally.

    Who Has a Bass No One Else on this Board Has?? (Part 2)

    I didn't see any mention of it, but I play a Greg Bennett design Royale bass. Semi-hollow body, active p/ups. Very nice sound and fairly versatile. I fell in love with the look and was reinforced by the sound.
