    Ibanez 6 strings

    If I can jump in here, Check out ESP LTD either the B-416, D6 or the B-206. The 416 is a higher price tier, but well worth it (it's what I personally play). I'm a prog metal guy too who was looking for a 6 string and Ibanez was somewhere I looked, then I tried these ESP's and they just felt...

    Micing setup?

    I'm looking for as many opinions as I can get on this, since I will be starting my first project solo recording project. I have an ESP LTD b-416, Hartke 3500, and Ampeg 410 HE and what I figured would be my favorite setup would be to have a DI out from the hartke, then also have a dynamic mic...

    Best Amplitube presets

    Hey guys, so I haven't really toyed with amplitube for bass much and I was wondering if any of you had any default or favorite presets/settings. One for clean, fuzz, distortion or whatever, im just experimenting around

    What bassist inspired you to play bass?

    Im pretty sure it was Chris Wolsteholme from Muse (why yes, I am a youngin') but more recently Ive been inspired by the obvious one Victor Wooten, but also Richard Bona a lot, those guys got soul!

    http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/best-bassists-ever.asp So I just thought that my fellow TB'ers could appreciate how much of a pathetic joke this list is, so go on indulge in the society's ignorance lol.

    Bass or Pickups?

    For the basses, price is still an issue, probably not over 1000, and the lower, the more likely. I think the SGD's are seeming like a higher probability as of now.

    Bass or Pickups?

    True, true. What would you recommend? (Keep a good price:value ratio in mind)

    Bass or Pickups?

    So I am not a person of decisions. I am terrible at making my own choices so, I'm asking my fellow TB'ers to help me make an important decision. I currently have an Epiphone Thunderbird, and I've been happy with it for about 2-3 years now, but it's time for something a little new. My two...

    REAL American Censorship (not a SOPA post)

    Censorship? - Imgur This image shows the headlines/covers of Time magazine across the world, then the corresponding headline/cover in America. And I don't know about you guys, but it really pisses me off that we're spoon fed all these articles keeping us ignorant to what's happening in the world.

    Re-stocking inventory at a store

I hit a couple music stores when I was in State College a year or two ago. Are you guys the Lakland dealers? Not much on the website. Well ive only been here a couple...

    Re-stocking inventory at a store

    True that. Hmm it's right next to PSU so college students are our big customers. But money never seems to be a problem haha. I'd say we have something like 40% classic players (normally over the age of 40) then 30% harder rock fans 20% indie and 10% just rock in general. At least these are the...

    Re-stocking inventory at a store

    Ok, so the music store I work at has pretty much sold all of its bass equipment and we need to get more, and since I'm posting this in amps, I suppose I'll ask about amps. What amps should we re-stock the store with? A variety would be good, and keep in mind this is a small, local store so...
