the best notes for metal include, but are not limited to: minor thirds, perfect fifts, minor sixts, minor OR major sevents and of course ye olde' augmented fourths/diminished fifts. other notes may be just as, or even more usefull.

personally i try to play as light as possible, while still getting the metal string-on-fret clank, which i, and my bandmates love dearly. this leads to adjustments of action and trussrod quite often, as perfect low action never sits quite right. gets better every time, but over the last half...

While i have never had a problem with stages, in fack i love to be on them, i can give you one piece of advice. turn "nervous" into "excited". Try to get "pumped" and ready for the show. Find the mental stated where you can tell yourself, in full honesty, that: "yes! i am doing it. i am...

just curious: if you had this bass made as a protest to the way to simple stuff you were playing, then why does it feature so much cutaway on the high end of the neck? you don't need access to the higher frets?

getting help from someone with considerable amount of woodworking experience (though no instrument fixing) to help me out with the Repair. wish me luck.

thanks people. this has been most helpful. i'm going to try epoxy and time. hoping that it will stay. most likely though, i am going to change it around and get a different bass soonly. again, thanks for your replies and help.

i tried my first set-up today, specifically lowering the action and fixing the intonation of my Epi Blackbird. reading around the TB forums, i felt pretty ready, and knowing that this should not be too hard. this presented a couple of revelations for me. First: the screws are made of a very...

the details i can provide, about my preference would be these: i would very much like the strings to be tightly together and with as fast specs as reason allows. my previous basses have been 34'' scale, and this seems fine, and i i prefer strings a bit slack, rather than too tight. i guess i...

just discovered this forum, while googling, and thought i should say hi to everybody, while still asking a question. i looking for a new 5-string (beadg) bass that will give me punchy mids, and clear lows. it should have low action and a relatively slim neck. The balance is important for me...
