Steve Harris would disagree with #4 on that list.

Someone should have checked their spelling when making that!

Ask Steve Harris (granted, he has had his painted white but it was blue for years).

Stevie Ray Vaughan (opening for Robert Plant) The Who Rush (hometown Toronto shows are great)

I have seen similar things done on other forums and every single time I think what a wonderful thing it is to do - so kudos to the OP for paying it forward and helping out a fellow player, or an aspiring youngster. If it is a youngster that is helped out they are getting not only a gift to help...

Blues, classic rock, and maybe a little country (older stuff, not modern country).

I had never considered used strings...unheard of in the guitar world so they never crossed my mind. Done...now I just have to find a mod as I just realized I entered my birth date incorrectly.

Because I like pure nickel guitar strings, I've also been considering pure nickel round wound bass strings. I'm considering these (mainly because they are the only pure nickels I can find in stock near me): Invalid Link Removed Rotosound made pure nickel strings as well but I guess they are...

I knew the difference between a guitar and a bass years before I ever took up playing.

I'm a new bass player (only been playing a few of weeks...but I am loving the instrument) and have a question about strings. I know there are a thousand threads about strings here but there is so much info it is overwhelming so I figured I might as well start another thread to ask my specific...

The wife has said that I am being stupid (not an unusual occurrence!!!) for thinking about selling my guitar amp to fund a bass + bass amp purchase. She suggested what B-String said above....that I should just add an extension cab to my current amp. So right now I am thinking that I should...

:D Since I'll never play out and will be playing at home 99% of the time I don't need a huge rig. I'm going to buy something to get me by for now and then will spend some time really looking into other amps so that, when the time comes to upgrade (even if just for home use), I will have...
