It finally happened. I got my girlfriend to agree to a music room. Some people who are renting from me are moving out and the room will be empty. I was wondering if anyone on TB has soundproofed a room and if they had any other advice. Also, if anyone has some way cool ideas for my music room...

Just wanted to say I did the same. I never had a Rotosound set break on me but they sounded "wimpy" in comparison to the rich sound I got from Hi-beams. Well worth the cost!

Great advice from both of you. I'll try a combination of both.

Hi all, I am trying to take everything up a notch with my bass playing and relearn standard notation. I learned to play music playing the flute and as such memorized "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor" and "FACE" as the helpful reminders to know what notes where where. Aside from the eventual...

Hi all, I am wanting to get into building Basses from scratch but for starters I think a Bass Kit would be a good stepping stone. If anyone has had good experiences with a kit please let me know. FYI: I have access to a friends garage with excellent tools including a functional CNC...

I have been talking with my teacher about changing my pickups and he says I have tunnel vision. I have my focus set on a DiMarzio P & J set that I like. The reviews are good but I am wondering if anyone has suggestions. I like a warm clean sound and think I am going to yank my pre-amp and go...

Hi all, I have been venturing into the higher notes and I have found that my bass either has to have the truss rod adjusted or the bridge adjusted. Basically, I get fret buzz at and below the 15th fret. I had it set up at a GC and have been very happy with the action, I'd hate to have to...

DR strings literally make a huge difference. Put it this way. Before I put DR's on my Ibanez I was going to sell the bass. Now I play it with a huge grin on my face.

We are a support class!

Orlando!

Best: From my teacher -> "Always practice that song you told yourself was just a litlle too hard." Worst: Random teenager trying to outdo me -> "Strings are strings dude." I have since fallen in love with DR high beams.

It's a giftcard :)

I recently ran into a bit of money and I am burning it ASAP! I have had my eye on these: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/DiMarzio-DP126-PJ-Neck-and-Bridge-Bass-Pickup-Set?sku=302285 I am now wondering if it makes sense to yank the pre-amp from my Ibanez GSR-200, which...

Hi guys, In March or April I am overhauling my Ibanez GSR-200. I am making it passive and throwing on a DiMarzio P and J set. What I don't know is what to replace my pots with? Does anybody have a good site for pots and/or some fun novelty knobs? Does anyone have a suggestion for a pot?

Thanks everyone! Can't thank you enough.
