Thanks! Positive feedback is always encouraging. Dude our drummer has some ridiculous skillz especially seeing it from a bass player perspective. I just try to keep up!

New original stuff here. Let's hear some opinions!

I posted some demos on my bands website and wanted to see if anyone could give some feedback. I'm playing bass and producing/ mixing the tracks. Thanks! Link Removed under new songs. Feel free to comment on any of the older stuff too.

Saw them in Philly a couple days ago and nick's tone stood out on more than half the set. Just an awesome overdrive perfectly laying in the mix.

I'm using Acid Pro 4, and have the Ampeg SVX VST but it doesn't run well at all. I have one bass track and pull up the plug in and it hardly plays back. Not sure what the deal is. I've been working in Acid Pro for awhile and can get a lot going at once on dual core before it starts getting...

I once wasted money on a set up... Once! Ok maybe twice but seriously just do some research and you'll realized you can do it yourself and get it perfect for you. Warning if your a perfectionist it can become obsessive!

That makes sense. Once I do all installing, I'll let it get used to the string tension for a bit before do the final adjustments to set up. Then I'll light it on fire! Can't wait.

I'm going to install a new bridge and tuning pegs on a used bass I just picked up. I figured I'd polish the frets too while it's string free, I've heard that taking all the strings off at once can cause issues. Does that just mean a new set up (which I have to do anyway) or is there more to...

My friend got one awhile ago and was messing with it at the restaurant we were eating lunch at. Out of the box it was the most annoying thing I ever heard. It reminds me of an old school alarm clock sound but worse. I'm sure you can get something out of it after some messing with it... The...

Been doing a lot of research lately and just wondering about drop tuning. I can't really get my head around it yet. I've heard that it can be helpful for singers if you tune down a half step. And drop d can make power chords easier (bar chord) for guitar players. But what experience do you (or...

Awesome! Thanks for all the feedback. I'll check out all the suggestions.

I'm trying to figure out or find a pedal that limits your attack. What I mean is, sort of fades in each time you hit a note. Is that possible? I probably just need to learn how to control my playing better! I first thought it was a filter, but I'm new to the world of filters and don't even know...

Could the neck itself be so bad that it's not possible to compensate with truss rod or bridge adjustments? Just wondering because I have an old bass with that 5inch action, saddles all the way down and I assumed it was f-ed without a new neck.

I'm having some action issues on my p bass. I just had it set up and it was buzzing too much. So I started to do some diy adjusting (with some Internet tips) and in order to get it sounding good with intonation set and minimum buzz, action is way too high. I was thinking of getting the frets...

Quick question... Is there anything you can recommend to a diy'er trying to get a good sound out of his/ her bass recordings? Other than technique and choosing a bass etc, is there any particular rules you follow or eq, di, plug ins you've found to be money? Any bit helps and thanks for making...
