    New Bass Solo Video Recorded

    The drum machine is not in time with the bass. There must be something wrong with it.

    My Band's EP! Please listen and give feedback!

    I think it's fabulous. Very inventive. Tight yet raw and lots of energy. Most bands seem to kill anything they have with recording, losing all their life. You didn't do that. I liked you on the Facebook!!

    My band's new video -Punk/Grunge

    Would be nice to see the funfair shots more integrated into the band singing and playing. Shots of worried-looking parents moving their kids away from scary band-members would add a lot. Singer in front of flashing signs would look good. Anyway the music's quite nice.

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

    Hey guys thanks for the feedback.. I'll try to respond to some of the points you made now. Yeah I get that it's about leading the congregation. I'm definitely in the simple is good camp, my fave bassist is Kim Deal and I really don't like those virtuoso bassist's bassists! I think the...

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

    Hi there, I play in my church's worship band, which is mostly pretty good I think. However there's one thing that really annoys me and I wonder if anyone feels the same and what do you do about it? The drummers in my church all seem to insist on playing what I call 4-to-the-floor kick drum...

    My DIY fuzzes

    I don't have a final schematic for either of them yet, they are still being tweaked, some of the changes aren't even documented yet, haha. I will need to look at the final pedal when drawing up the schematic, there's been dozens of refinements. When I do the final thing I'll post it here.

    My DIY fuzzes

    Do you mean hiss or sonic mayhem? I should say that these demos are through a wee practice amp. Through my rig it sounds a lot beefier. Thanks for the love of the sticker. My band got into a fight with a hippie band once (they started it, honest) so that's the idea behind it.

    My DIY fuzzes

    The Super Bazz Fuzz is a combination of 3 circuits with some additions and refinements. See the info on the video for more. The Brian Science Fuzz is a highly modified version of a certain fuzz-face derivative. changed and additional components. It's debatable on when something stops being...

    My DIY fuzzes

    Videos for the prototypes two fuzzes that I have recently built. I made the vids to communicate my ideas to another diy-builder. We are hoping to put them into production and sell them at gigs and some of the trendy city markets locally. I'm posting them here, for some feedback from the...

    Volume reduction switch

    Here's how to do it - http://guitarwiring.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/volume-drop-switch-guitar-mod.html Except that I would desolder the wires that connect to the tip of the output jack on your bass and connect them to the "hot from pickup" point. Then connect the other red wire (center...

    Volume reduction switch

    Do you want to build it into the bass or have it as a pedal unit? I'd do the latter. It's easier IMHO. Here's the circuit : (at the bottom of the page) http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/Switches/ You could make it even simpler by dispensing with the "volume 1" pot and just...

    Anti-snob thread : Behringer pedals you actually love and wouldn't upgrade

    I have a BDI-21. I've had it for about 4 years now. Gigged/recorded with. I think the build quality is fine, I basically leave it on all the time. I guess if I was stomping hard on it all the time and it wasn't glued to my effects board it might not fare so well, but that's true of all...

    The "There Will Never be a Venue that Charges ME to Play" Club

I prefer to be positive and have a good outlook motivated by LOVE of MUSIC not just...
