    A Ridiculously Complex-Lookng Circle Of Fifths T-Shirt

    Good point, it does have its own aesthetic. However it would be nice if the print were larger/bolder/clearer just so that it shows up better and lasts longer too. Concerned it would start to fall off after washing. Anyways, in for one, black, Medium.

    Need advice: Video camera + external microphone for live recordings

    If there's a mixing board you could just plug in there. All your gear is already going through the board, just hook up the audio out into the camera or into a laptop/recording medium. A good quality tripod is a must.

    That looks pretty cool and a reasonable price. Anyway you can "clean up" the print a bit? Would it be possible to enlarge or thicken it a bit?

    How do I break bad news to our singer?

    You could try a different approach, more business like and non-confrontational. EX: "Good news, we're gonna start auditioning lead singers this week to replace 'so and so'(original singer), so we can all get back to our regular roles." (turn to the guitar guy) "Plus we really miss you at...

    Did Coldplay rip off Satriani?

    I think the George Harrison case would be a good precedent. He did not "intentionally" lift the song but the similarities were too close. Likewise the Coldplay song is too close to Satriani's as well. Intentional or not. So, I think it would stand to reason that Satriani would have a good case.

    Acoustic bass fetish club

    Thanks for your response, I will change the strings this weekend! I can't put this bass down long enough to change 'em out. Been jammin' with my brother (guitar) ever since I brought it home. It's the first time I've played bass in almost 17 years.

    Acoustic bass fetish club

    First timer here. Just picked up a Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4-string Fretless. It's pretty awesome so far but I'm thinking of changing the strings (some sort of roundwound on there now, can't be good for the fretboard). I bought some D'Addario XL Chromes, ECB81 regular light gauge, but I just...

    No acoustic bass guitar forum?

    I just recently purchased my first ABG (yesterday!). Before I bought it I made sure I did my homework and did research. A lot of the information that was very helpful and instrumental in my decision making process came from these forums. So thanks to the vocal and lively ABG people here, I...
