    Online Streaming from your PC onto Facebook

    I wanted to write a small thread on the subject of live streaming audio onto Facebook... "Well Ebi, all you need is your smart phone! I know how to do that! Just point the camera at me and stream!" you might say, however, I'm talking about live streaming onto Facebook with your PC. To start off...

    Homemade Bass: Plank of Wood (adivce would be appriciated)

    Thanks for the advice, though I am thinking of completely ditching the acoustic body and installing a couple of cheap picks-ups for the meantime (budget-wise, it works better), though I am in love with the idea of having a bass and a kick drum in one instrument. I'm still going to try the...

    Homemade Bass: Plank of Wood (adivce would be appriciated)

    Just to make sure I got this right: do I have to get a relatively consistent string-height all the way till the fingerboard ends? and a follow up question: Is there a certain thickness to the fingerboard that I need to have relative to my bridge/nut

    Homemade Bass: Plank of Wood (adivce would be appriciated)

    Thanks for the tip I don't quite get what you mean, do you mean as a fret board? The strings are quite close to the 'fretboard' (sorry for the awkward stares): as for the tuner heads please keep in mind that this was my first attempt! I would like an alternative method to tuning other...

    Homemade Bass: Plank of Wood (adivce would be appriciated)

    Back story: I'm a student who his in dire need of his own fretless bass - I might be exaggerating. I don't have a lot of money to spend per month (about 30 - 40€ = 40$) but I do have a whole lot of ply-wood planks (900*70*20 mm = 35,43*2,76*0,79 in) in my basement that I can use to experiment...

    Bass Ramps: An Underrated Piece of Bass Hardware or Curse for Proper Bass-Technique

    As always, I really appreciate your input. To further the analogy of tennis rackets and walking on snow: Yes, clearly I can walk better on snow with tennis rackets and not sink, but as a person who comes from the desert, I can tell you wearing tennis rackets on your feet is impractical when...

    Bass Ramps: An Underrated Piece of Bass Hardware or Curse for Proper Bass-Technique

    Unsurprisingly the majority are voting good... but I think that has something to do with the fact that I wrote in crotches instead of crutches in the polls...

    Bass Ramps: An Underrated Piece of Bass Hardware or Curse for Proper Bass-Technique

    It's good to get some input about bass ramps, but you can't decide that^ just by looking at a video of someone playing with a bass ramp. There's a lot more to playing with/without a bass ramp. try it out yourself before you simply decide it's good. Think about the branches of style you...

    Bass Ramps: An Underrated Piece of Bass Hardware or Curse for Proper Bass-Technique

    I think the problem is that many bass-players who trained to reduce their recovery time feel a bit "cheated". If it does help or not, the fact of the matter is there are bassists who have a high performance rate and got to that point because they trained themselves. This is by no means an...
