Man... I've heard a couple recording of myself recently from band practice, and I am NOT impressed. Bad timing, poor technique, sloppy playing, the works. I've been playing for probably around 20 years now, and just UGH, it feels like I'm back at square one. However, everyone I talk to seems...

Why not just swap active pickups in? I did that with a MIM P-Bass i had. Wasn't thrilled with the stock pups, put a set of active EMGs in there, and it totally changed the sound (obviously).

This is the song that literally changed my life. As soon as I heard the intro guitars, I was hooked. It led to me learning more about metal, and joining a metal band that subsequently took me all over the country. I've gotten to see and do things I never would have on my own. I have friends all...

Same. I'm pretty sure I have several basses that have 5 strings.

NOT Kalium.

Absolutely it will negatively affect the value! The real question is, does that matter TO YOU? If you plan on keeping the bass forever, do what you want to make yourself happy. If you plan on possibly selling it later and don't care about the value of it, make it as playable as you want and...

Kalium has really gone down the toilet in general. I ordered strings that took over 2 months to get, after countless emails and phone calls. Then I was promised a few discount codes for the hassle, which never showed up either. Never again.

I use a 600 watt Mesa through 1 or 2 Eden 410s. It's the best sound I've ever had, but it's not included with your choices, so...

If this is the wrong section, i apologise. My thinking is it will be an effect that will get me where I'm trying to go, but if this needs moved, we can do that Hey guys, so I'm having a hell of a time trying to get that "Nolly", modern metal sound, as in this video here. I have all the...

I have a Schecter that I absolutely LOVE. I've played it against Warwicks, Spectors, Fenders, G&Ls, etc, and it always is at least as epic sounding as them, if not more so, despite being 1/2 to 1/3 the price. BUT... I've played my exact model of Schecter (Stiletto Elite 5), same color, same...

The best way to get called for future fill-ins is to take current fill-ins... With such short notice, they can't be expecting perfection. Do the gig, kick some a**, and make a great impression. You'll get your foot in the door, and the call next time.

I'm gonna get burned for this, but... ***, where do people get these ridiculous ideas? :laugh::laugh: I worked for GC for over 4 years. They don't mark their prices up to bring them back down. Matter of fact, they'll beat any advertised priced from a reputable dealer by 10% if I remember...

Find yourself a used Dingwall. The fan frets take almost no time to adjust to, and I have no problem switching between fan and parallel frets. And it's hands down the best B string in the business. For a used Combustion, you could do some digging and find one in the $1300-$1500 bracket. Upper...
