Thanks, filmtex! It was a real collaborative effort, many filmmaker friends and a great editor who usually works with us. Sometimes having a good technical and executive crew can make wonders ;)

So this makes me quite proud of what we're achieving as a band. This clip is taken from the concert we did to promote the release of our first full album. It was an exciting experience because it was an open air concert with a nice crowd even if it was kinda raining. What made my day about this...

just leave, no good will come from it. If they keep doing it, any notoriety the band can get with this "good work flow" will be with people with similar political viewpoints. Is this the audience you want to play to?

ok. anyway, my bass's body has a tiny fracture on the finish due to insufficient padding in my old scrappy bag (I already ordered a new one...). nothing alarming, even aesthetically it's not too noticeable. Should I be worried in anyway, is there any reason why I should do something about it, or...

I have a similar problem and this interests me. How serious was the "go without any finish" comment? You can't say things like that to me, I'll start really thinking about it.

So we finally released this record. We spent a lot of time arranging and rearranging every song until it sounded the way we wanted. In the end I think it sounds like something in between 70s/80s disco and 60s/70s rock. Don't know why, some songs remind me of the sound of things like The Band...

Haha thanks! Glad you liked it ;) It's a very nice place to live indeed... The bassist from Augustine Azul started as a guitarist, and still plays guitar in some bands, that's why he's so... adventurous all around the neck. It takes good taste to make it work, and I think it works. Since we're...

Thanks for all the answers! I think I might be making a bridge thread now. Even if this was not the problem apparently there are divided opinions on the Badass...

Sorry for the bad camera, but that's a photo of my bass bridge. This wear mark in the red circle seems to be normal in used bridges (though as far as I've seen in google images it is not present when the product is new - the bridge was installed by the previous owner). I wonder if this could...

Yes, it kinda "unknit" right at the bridge. It's a top-loaded Badass gold bridge

So recently I discovered the joy of flatwounds, and decided to stick to them. I got a pack of GHS Precision Flatwounds and immediately loved the sound and the feel. I thought about not changing them for a very long time. But suddenly yesterday during rehearsal, after only 7 months of use, the A...

I'll indulge myself in a bit (not too much though) of self promotion here, and break the one or two month rule (not too much though). I live in a small city in Brazil that happens to have a lot of great musicians and bands. I'll post a video from my band, then videos of friends' bands that I...

computerman, I'm only now seeing this thread, but oh what a joy to reply to it. I was too a classical guitarist and switched to bass when I was 22 years old (only three years ago, already feels like a lifetime), so I can relate to a lot of what you are feeling. I see things are already going...

No offense taken :) I really thought it would be an easier job, I'll have him take it to a professional. I didn't know about the nut angle, thanks for pointing that out. I'll keep asking for the sake of learning: So the pickup adjustment would be to screw them the other way around?

1. and 2. maybe stupid question, but if I just turn the nut upside down wouldn't it have the same effect? 4. Exactly what pickup adjustment are you referring to? 5. and 6. I'm guessing this would be accomplished with a drill straight through the horn? Excuse a setup newbie here :)
