This should be a sticky and everyone coming on to TB to rant about a band selling out should be directed to this video first. I seriously doubt that Rush called up VW and asked if they could use a snip of one of their classic songs. More likely, the marketing team at VW had a light bulb go on...

I'm in, too. I'm in Huntingtown, So.MD. I lead the student band at my church and play bass for them. I'm 50 and took up the bass just a few years ago.

Dual tweeters for unprecedented clarity in the upper range.

These guys might be able to help. Touch Bionics

Thanks, dano.

Hi All. I recently bought a Promethean bass stack from TBer 45cmckay105. He offered up his member number for me and I'd be honored to accept it if it's possible. If there's a question of bass qualification, I do own an IXJB190, although it's technically my son's. I paid for it, though...

I'm interested. PM sent.

is top shelf. I managed to stop in on New Year's Eve while on family vacation. Unfortunately, due to other events and a GPS that must have been on something, I didn't get there until 10 minutes before closing. Still, Beaver and co. gave me that time to look around, ask questions, etc. When...

What about using your thumb to fret the notes on the low E? Then your fingers are already free to move. It's not exactly orthodox and I might get roasted for the suggestion, but it might be an option. Also, what about playing over top of the neck instead of under?

Peter was one of Jesus' closest disciples. Performed some fails that make yours seem pretty mild. I was trying to be witty and create a different perspective. Mini-fail? ;-P Anyway, keep at it. It'll get better.

Unless your name is Peter and you were a fisherman a long time ago, you don't really know fail. :-D Just look at it the same way Edison did. You found one way NOT to perform. Try again.

Isn't it really up to a kid's parent to teach him that Rock Band is a game and that learning an instrument is a skill and skill takes work to develop? If a kid thinks otherwise, it's really not the fault of the game or the game maker. My 14 year old son played bass and guitar before we even...

I gave my son an inexpensive wireless system for his middle school graduation. He's a very mobile player and is loving not being on a cord. I have a Boss Micro BR recorder that's great for recording song ideas or recording yourself over a song you're working on. It also lets you slow down...

Bluetree is an Irish P&W band that wrote "God of this City." Search for them on youtube and look for the interview with the lead singer for the story behind the song. Very interesting. As good as Tomlin is, I prefer the original Bluetree version.

That's just too funny. I have this great mental picture of him fiddling with his amp with a bewildered look on his face. Hail to the king!
