    Warmoth Frets and Binding

    I think you can, by way of the custom neck builder. EDIT: nevermind, i just tried it. its 21 or 24 frets only... Maybe send them an email and ask real nice?

    Funniest beginner mistake/blunder?

    Probably mine was trying to remove the glue in the nut slot with acetone nailpolish remover, and thus destroying a large part of the nitro finish on the neck. This so I could ultimately remove the nut I had broken with a (too) large A string. Ended up sending it to a pro, which was a bit of a...

    2 Types of bassists it seems....

    I upgraded recently from a 2x10 markbass combo to a 700RBII head with a homebuilt BFM Omni 15 TB (15'' woofer. 8' mid' 1" tweet, all more or less hornloaded). I haven't played any louder than I used to but the thing just sounds better for various reasons. It's closer to ear level, the rig moves...

    How do you fix an old rattling cab?

    It could be someting inside one of the drivers, under the dustcap. In my old cab, a piece of the leads that go into the cone of the driver came loose and was stuck behind the dustcap, giving a rattling noise. If thats the case you'll have to remove the dustcap.

    Thickening up the sound of a jazz bass

    Flats are indeed a good start, and maybe a slight boost in the lower midrange on your amp. That's the way I did it.

    GK800RB vs 1001RB II vs 700RB II

    Will a 700RBII paired with an 8ohm cab hit the rails faster? This would be ideal for small gigs while another extra 8 ohm cab will be more suited for the bigger shows. Hope this is correct? I'm real close to actually buying that kind of setup.

    Cannot hear bass at large venue

    Or try to not go over the monitors and only use the amp? I never go over monitors personally, although I can imagine that with a 100w amp you might want to.

    Dealing with Mediocre Live Sound Support

    It'll probably always be a learning experience. I also agree with getting a good soundman to do all your shows. Having one that knows what you like and knows your songs is really the best thing to have. It makes set up and sound checking a breeze too. Plus that a good soundman can make any room...

    Dealing with Mediocre Live Sound Support

    My personal experience has always been that the only way to learn setting stage mixes is to learn the hard way, by doing alot of shows at alot of different venues. There isn't a better learning school IMO. How else are you going learn to adjust to the different room acoustics/ wooden stages etc...

    What the heck??? Fender 60's Custom Shop Pickups

    My custom shop P pickup had that too, it's a real pain in the behind because i'm a lefty. Had to desolder the whole thing and get the cushoning off and resolder whith the copper plate turned around.
