Thanks guys! Makes sense and now I feel happy that I am following the material enough to notice errors :D @LetItGrowTone, mine is spiral bound too (in fact it is books 1 - 3 all bound together).

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm currently working through these books and am stuck on one of the exercises... Book 2, ex. 84 "Old Days" is in Bb major (pretty sure..). Bar 8 is four quarter notes: F, F, C, E#. I can't work out why that E# is there as opposed to just an F. Maybe...

Hi, First of all, apologies as i'm pretty sure this question will have been asked before; i just couldn't find it. Basically i recently purchased a set of D'Aaddario flat wounds for my bass. Unfortunately when i went to put the strings onto my bass (Ibanez BTB) i realised that they weren't...

Hi, i have a fender bg-29 and i love the instrument but hate the strings i have on. They are the round wound stock strings, they're really noisy and 'clanky'. I've decided i want some flat wounds but i havent ever bought any before so not sure what to get? any (all) suggestions welcome!

Hi, I don't know how many of you listen to labels such as hot flush/ swamp81 and brain feeder. But if you do you've probably heard of thundercat. His new album 'The golden age of apocalypse' is truly amazing. I never realised how clever his playing is! And the vocals he adds to some of his...

could be to do with wave diffraction and the shape of the venue?

2. I have my ibanez BTB for anything live and my acoustic fender for when im in my room and just wanna jam

one of the (in my opinion) best hip hop pruducers is J Dilla, his group Slum Village are great. But if you have the time listen to some or all of this mix, its J Dilla's inspirations Benji B | J Dilla Inspirations Selections Show, BBC 1Xtra February 2007 by Benji B on SoundCloud - Create...

if you wanna learn bass take bass lessons... but to answer your question, the theory could be applied to a bass to an extent, there would be areas which could not be applied and others areas which might not even be covered at all, but yea i guess. learn more in what way? You will probably...

sound great for an eighth grade band!! Love the name too. One thing i thought was there is A LOT of reverb on the vocals? but thats just my opinion. very good and nice bass playing :)

Thanks for all the replies! There is a screw on the key so i will dissemble the tuner and see if that works - if not i guess i'll be ringing Fender tomorrow morning :( Thanks Again Curly_Bassist

The black spacing washer is there but the other white washer has been pushed on top of it. I checked to see how tight the screw was and it was overly tight - well a lot tighter than on my other basses anyway. Making it difficult to turn the tuner, i had not noticed this before. Im not at the...

on the link you provided it says "Fits most Fender style basses with standard 11/16" peg holes." Im guessing your bass does have the standard sized peg holes but measure it just to be sure. Curly_Bassist

Hi, below are pictures of my machine head, i dont have a great camera so it may be easier to describe the problem. Basically i am having problems with the stock machine head on my Fender BG-29. The pole (?) that the tuner is on which goes through the part attached to the headstock goes...

I cant get the exact settings right now because im at home but on monday i can check if you want all the specific numbers. I compress my bass for two reasons - to add sustain - to narrow the dynamic range I usually set it to a fairly low ratio with a low threshold. I also set the attack to 0.1.
