Hey! I've heard that Chris Wolstenhome, bass player with Muse, uses a lot of effects and I'm wondering what effect he uses on Hysteria? Obviously it'd be great to find out without having to spend a load of money on different pedals just to try out! I know he uses a Big Muff a lot and was...

You have an Ampeg 8 x 10 stop complaining! lol! I reckon that the quality of the cab itself is more important than the speakers, and your 8 x 10 is the nuts as far as I'm concerned. And by the by, every head I've ever played sounded amazing through this cab.

No. the mix and the PA are the same thing, and are adjusted to suit the acoustics of the room, and the 'sound' of each player and the whole band. Metallica and AFI are both amazing live (seen them both) but have completely different guitar, bass and vocal 'sounds'. Setting the EQ on the PA...

Wondered what that button was for, cheers! I wonder if adjusting the pre/post gain will make any difference.....you know, like having the pre low and the post higher to stop the signal driving. Also, can you get such a thing as a noise gate pedal? I'm sure I've heard of that somewhere?

Usually because the live recording is taken directly from the sound desk, which doesn't reflect how the music actually sounds when you're there. Par example.....I love the AFI bass sound, nice sharp top end with lovely clarity and sustain and a full but punchy bottom end. The reason I bought...

Hey! I got a Fender Kingman acoustic bass for christmas, and I'll be playing a gig with it this week for the very first time. Trouble is......how do I stop it feeding back at stage volume?The amp isn't mic'd so it needs to be able to project to the back of the room. Help?
