    Gig-FX Subwah

    I'm thinking of picking this up and only have one question, how does it handle a 5 string? I've tried the Dunlop and Morley and both of them drop the signal on the low B string (which I actually have tuned down to A). I'm using the Botsy Collins sig. right now which works great, but I've had...

    Stories of regret to laugh about

    About a year ago at a local show this guy was playing an Epiphone Thunderbird converted to fretless. Sounded awesome and he was looking to sell it for $200. It was a four string and I really prefer five string basses so I decided to save my money. Then later (after it was sold) I found out he...

    Food/drink related grossness, hilarity, stupidity, etc

    One day at practice with an old band one of my guitarists had a really bad cold. He kept having to wipe is nose during a song but instead of stopping he just used he hand whenever he had a spare second. Needless to say by end of the sing his hand, and strings were a mess.

    Grindcore Bassist Club

    What strings for drop tuning?

    Stupid things your bandmates have said.

    This is from a guitard I played with in college, we were starting a new project and had only jammed together a couple times. Him: I wrote a new song for tonight. Me: Cool, what tuning is it in? Him: E standard drop D. Me: ...which one is it? Him: E standard drop D. Me: Those are two different...

    Dunlop Cry Baby bass wah

    A word of caution about this pedal. I had one that died on me but I have a friend who was able to fix it. While we was poking around he noticed that the circuit board that the bypass switch is on is only held in by one screw in the corner. That means that whenever you're not standing on the...
