    Do you put your effects pedals on top of your amp/cab instead of on the floor?

    Guilty. Much handier with my "limited switching" and bad eyes.

    Ohio bassist club, v.3

    Just played the Ugly Mug in Canal Winchester Friday. Not a bad turnout considering we were competing against 2 Jazz/Rib Festivals in both Canal & Columbus.

    Backing Vocal Challenges in the Weekend Player Space

    Make sure he can hear himself. Record practices. Listen to them with everyone`s equipment off (eliminate "wanking"). Listen and say "Let`s focus on what we`re doing vocally". And then finally............honesty. It may sting a little but you're shooting for an overall product and if the vocals...

    Should I let an (BIG) opportunity slip away because of some cosmetic damage?

    The only issue I see is if you want red or black. Personally, when talking about the same price, I`d opt for the new (staying away from other people`s issues). I`d expect dings on a 10yo instrument. I wouldn`t let that deter me as long as playability is not affected.

    Why do I kinda like this nugget??

    Loved the tone, but couldn`t make it past the string feel.

    Weird "song memory loss" after a long break from playing

    I had a 6 mo hiatus and had the same issue with some songs, since I don`t (but can) read music. Personally, once I rediscovered my "anchoring point" with my fingering, patterns returned rather quickly. Whatever technique you utilize, I sure it`ll all come back. Patience, my friend!

    4 controls, 2 pickups, passive. What do you do?

    I was told this config on a passive can work, but some extra things need done for it to work as intended, although this is the current config on my FrankenFretless.

    Rush - 40th anniversary reissue of Grace Under Pressure

    You can`t judge a Rush album by number of tracks. "Farewell" only has 6 and is second favorite on my list.

    How often do your strings break?

    In my early years (80`s) I became quite adept at breaking strings. It helped me learn the remainder of my fretboard since you can`t just stop mid-song and swap out basses (when I only owned one). It sucked when it happened, but all I had to do was pull the broken string until it cleared my...

    How often should you change strings

    Since I learned how to play much less aggressively, I find the only time I change strings is out of complete boredom. As previously stated, a tone knob and those rotary-thingys on my amp can do wonders.
