    I'm having trouble finding an answer for this, so I'm hoping you guys can help out: Recently purchased a used Spector Euro LT with the Darkglass preamp, previous owner dimed the internal mids knob. I want to reset it, but what is flat? Knob at 0 or at the middle position? Couldn't find this...

    Want to see the worst bass playing in a product demo?

    Looks like advertisement to me, it's not a product demo.

    I need to earn extra money. Any ideas?

    Not a long term solution, but selling that extra gear will buy you time while you work out a solution. Try ebay, sell random stuff you no longer need, like clothes you will never use or something.

    Millennium Falcon

    Never done this myself but this is what I would do: Cut the wings off the bass body, or make a body out of a 2x4, this is to handle the tension and have a solid place to mount the bridge and pickups.

    Craigslist - ok to be flakey?

    I found that being annoyed by flakiness comes from false expectations. Assume that everything a potential buyer tells you is BS until they hand me the cash, I don't adjust my life to their schedules, if they want it that bad they will adjust to mine.

    three octaves...all interesting but money won't stretch beyond one.

    Me too! I thought, he's right, three octaves in a bass and all the money is in that bottom one.

    Why Is Tablature Bad?

    In my experience, the biggest problem with tabs is trying to learn to play an instrument from them (be it guitar or bass). It gives you a false sense of confidence that makes it hard to learn the basics.

    Are SS amps able to accurately portray all the nuances of a fine instrument?

    I've been thinking about this, and realized that maybe our actual instrument is the amplifier, and the bass is a fancy controller for it.
