Got my 93' Ibby SR885, Korg PX4D and a Fender banjo for an early Christmas present back in November, couldn't wait till Christmas to play with them.

Put it this way, you could go most places on earth and the people there would in some way know of KISS. There is no way a band gets that big without exerting some influence on music and for that matter history as a whole. On that basis I think they should be in the RRHOF, it is a Hall of FAME...

I broke my left hand 5th metacarpal neck, whats know as a boxers fracture. It was a pretty bad break and I narrowly avoided a pin, Instead I got to enjoy 7 weeks with my hand in a cast. My experience was a loss of pressure when fretting with my ring and pinkie fingers. All I can recommend...

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm thinking second hand might be the way to go, Theres a place not far from where I live where I picked up my Ibanez and my OD pedal, might be able to pick up a small head and cab for a good price.

From a quick google search Mesa Walkabout's are around the $3000AUD mark, which are waaaaay out of the ball park. If I spent more than $500 on an amp at the moment the numerous family members I owe money too would probably beat me accross the head with the damn thing. :p Such is the life of a...

So my esteemed colleagues it has recently (within the last 3 or so years) come to my attention that the combo/practice amp I own at the moment is less than brilliant (20w DRIVE amp). I have a birthday approaching and have decided to use what meager funds I gather to purchase a new combo. This...

My lost years between 11 and 16 when I let my poor bass sit unloved in my closet and played my mums guitar. When I think of all the things I have learnt in the last 3 years of playing I shudder to think about what I missed in those 4 years.

The first bass I played was owned by my school, no idea what it was but it was a 3/4 length and felt gigantic (I was 9). First bass I actually owned was a Yamaha ERB300II that my mum bought me when I started high school because I had to give the other bass back to the school. These days I play...

Wow, I have some high end hiss but so far no bacon sounds. Let's hope it stays that way or I'll get hungry every time I go to play and never get any practice done. :D

That would have been handy when I was trying to work out what the damn thing was. I walked into the store looking for nothing in particular and the bass was hanging up at the back of the store. Gave it a try and loved the way it felt especially the narrow neck which is brilliant on a 5-string...

Yeah, seems like a pretty nice bass and the price didn't seem to bad either. Mine does seem to have a little background noise when you mess with the preamp levels but otherwise it seems to be pretty damn good. The colour on the other hand is a little 90's for my liking, I think its called laser...

So I picked up a 1993 SR885 from a local second hand store for $200 AUD, the bass is pristine I think the last owner must have only ever played it in a padded room with gloves on. The thing is I was 3 when this bass was built so I was wondering what you guys think of it and if there are any...
