    Do the new Ibanez BTB range still have dual truss rods?

    trying to get my head around which do and which don't. Ibanez site just gives "standard truss rod" in the spec page for the new ones. Also what about the bolt on models ? Do any of the 4 string model have a dual rod set up ? Do the 2 dark insets running down on the back of the neck mean 2 truss...

    How to do a proper recording for YouTube?

    A video editor plug in called " Plural Eyes " by Red Giant syncs up video and externally recorded audio perfectly. I record my bands gigs on a 8 track Zoom 24 recorder ( Less hassle than using a laptop and audio interface) and use plural eyes to sync all 8 tracks up with the audio track fro the...

    If you had a fire which bass would throw INTO it?

    I think the real question is which bass you would grab to take with you if you had a fire. House fire that is. Or which bass would you go back into the fire for. After the kids, wife and the dog of course.

    Mesa Boogie Walkabout Part 6

    Thanks Chef, I thought that might have been the case but wasn't quite sure. I'll have to redo the costing, fEARful might still be the way to go when compared to cab prices in Australia.

    Mesa Boogie Walkabout Part 6

    Hello All Fellow Walkabout owners. I have been lurking this forum since october when I was (extremely) lucky enough to score a near new WA Scout 12 for $1500 AUD ( more than $3500 new in OZ ). So love it, gigged it exclusively, no need to preach to the choir here. I straight away swapped the...

    where do you sit on ancient astronaut theory?

    I dig it all. It would be good to access that technology and save the world from the neocons etc. But what I really want to know is what music they played? What instruments they developed? If they could levitate mighty stone blocks , just think about the fearfull bottom end they could have created.

    Which Programmable Loop Switcher is This? (Photo Inside)

    Quote: "The only issue might be that you will need to use the lava mini cable kit with straight ends (or similar alternative) to get the cables to fit into the jacks on the back of the Moen. It is very cramped for space due to the closes of the jacks to each other, however this keeps the size...

    Mono Bass -> Stereo input jack

    My BTB came fitted with this locking type jack as standard. I was never happy with it. It was noisy and sensitive to the slightest hint of movement. It was also a real bitch to get the jack back out of the bass. As the bass was routed to fit the barrel of the jack, a standard 1/4 TS wasn't an...

    Finger Skin Care

    You may find this disgusting but it works, I have been doing it for years. When I was a boy, I worked with manual field workers who used to cut sugar cane with a machete in their bare hands. Tough hard working men. To get their hands in condition at the start of the season, they would piss on...
