    When the band decides to do an E flat, do you E flat your 5 string?

    All depends on the context. For any band or genre

    Thinking If I Even Need Another Pedal

    I agree with your point that maybe OP should just hold off on buying a new pedal. I feel I was in a similar situation as OP in that I was looking around at a bunch of cool effects but didn't see any urgent need for them. I do own a Zoom B3 that I need to explore more because I'm sure there are...

    NBD: Peavey TL-Six 1st Gen, Black

    Man that looks awesome! I've never heard of the TL-6 before. When was it produced?

    Consistency of tone and attack between fingers

    If you have access to the necessary tools recording yourself to the metronome then zooming in a little on the wave forms is a good way to see your attack in a more concrete way. Obviously how it sounds comes first but it helps to be able to see it

    whats your favorite metal band

    I find it interesting that I didn't see a lot of meshuggah in here considering that they're very rhythmic

    Peavey Releases Cirrus again!

    I was wondering if they'd bring them back after the discussions in a peavey thread a few months ago. My cirrus 6 is easily the best bass I've ever played. Hope these match up to it

    I am extremely worried about becoming a 'professional musician'

    Idk what your job/life situation is like OP but if you want to become known in the prog metal scene it's my opinion that you need to be constantly writing and practicing. You said you worry about adding something new to progmetal but at some point someone will add something new. It doesn't...

    Went into Guitar Center, Wow

    I know each store is different and everyone's experience are different but I've mostly had good experiences at the GC near me (Tulsa). They have a decent selection of basses and there's usually a cool used bass or two there. The employees are pretty friendly and are active in our small music scene

    How many people actually set up their own instruments and get professional results?

    I tried to adjust the trussrod on my squier p affinity and shaged up the fretboard really badly. I've been too afraid to even look at trussrods lol

    Anybody use "The Mechanics of Tapping"?

    If you get it I'd be interested in your take on it.

    not metal enough for a metal band?

    Too concerned about looks. There are plenty of metal bands that don't look "metal" that play metal. I love that Javier Reyes from AAL sometimes looks like he's about to teach geometry. In the end I think the music is far more important. I feel you though. My singer in my band (indie rock)...
