I play a few riffs. From slower, staccato type riffs (say "low rider" or "the joker") something fast and distorted like les claypools intro to NIB or "around the world" chili peppers. I have a few self made slap stuff to, mainly playing with octaves. Gives him a broad range of what to expect...

I was having the same issue as you, and got extremely lucky when I took my peavey TNT115 to the pawn. I walked out with a hartke 810 (I already have an Eden world tour 800W) for even trade. The key to getting closer to good gig tone to me is having plenty of headroom and not beating the **** out...

Simple song that has some rake in it is "idiot box" by incubus, near the middle of the song. We play it out and it always goes over well.

Do what you do, and still practice with your fingers as well. Wish I could play comfortably with my thumb....

Did yours have an active/passive toggle? if so, how are you happy with that? was the install difficult? Thanks.

no one? Does anyone have one of these basses and have upgraded electronics? Kinda want to change the sound anyway. I play alot of rock (with fingers) and a bit of slap as well.

My Schecter Studio 5 is about a year old. The treble control pot makes a horrible noise (60cycle hum, maybe) when turned up at all. Must keep treble all the way rolled off. Changing batteries dosnt correct the prtoblem. I try to add treble on the Amp (Peavey TNT 115) and the noise is still...

you dont think the pen oil will will adversly effect the wood? theres probably nothing but 100% dry unfinished wood in that hole. seeing how the truss screws up into the truss rod nut seems to be a bit pointless. but ive never encountered this problem, so i dont know.

what are you going to saw in order to fix it? the filler wood on the back of the neck that covers the truss? please explain.

How do you export the file to change the format from wav to mp3? When I do this in Audacity, it says it cant do it and I need some other software to finish the conversion.

Take it from my forum name that I'll take a number. Just keep drinking until it sounds good!!!

Does you Nephews band play out? I haven't been to Tucan in years. I think the dud that did my ink there was Luke. I think he was a new guy. He went kinda deep (skin is slightly raised) and I had it touched up at a shop in Ca.

Why in the hell did I put this question in live sound? I must have been sleeping at work yesterday. Moderator: Can you move please? Thanks!!

What do you guys with stock schecters studio 5'ers play with? I'm thinking of the Ken Smith stings that are ground down round wounds. I like a thick, fat, punch you in the face tone.

I'm Rocking a Peavey TNT 115 with my Schecter Studio5. Can you PM me a number?
