    New York Pro 4 String question.

    I was given the Neck and Body of a New York Pro 4 string bass and would like to fix it up and finish it. It has the same body shape as a Fender P-Bass. Does anyone know if the P-bass Parts fit the New York Pro?

    Mackie HD1221

    yes one uses a POD HD500 and th eother uses an AxeFx. i would be using pedals like BDDI, Boss EQ, BOSS OD into a DI then into the powered speaker. we are a metal band but we usually keep our on stage volume as quiet as possible. basically our plan is to each get a powered speak and all...

    Mackie HD1221

    My guitar players have never mic'd their cabs. they always have one line going to their cab for stage monitoring and one running direct FOH and we generally have a great response when it comes to the live sound. anyways, my will the Mackie handle the bass ok? or is there another powered...

    Mackie HD1221

    the guitar players in my band are in the middle of switching from there 4x12's and amp heads to just their effects units and mackie HD1221's. Basically because of how much easier it is hauling gear around night after night of shows, and probably because Periphery does (guitar players = fanboys)...

    What's up with singers these days?

    i have never seen this and if my vocalist tried doing this he would receive a swift judo chop to the jugular...i dont like seeing people have music in front of them either, even in church. You should now your songs and be able to find your spot if you mess up or get lost. it comp-letely takes...

    Footswitch Mod

    No, you want a stereo jack. it will have 3 of those tabs on it. One for the tip, one for the middle bit(sorry the name escapes me) and one for the sleeve. with just having two switches like you have they will share the ground(sleeve) and then one switch goes to the tip and one goes the the...

    Tone test.

    My band has decided to record our own EP rather than hit up a studio. We did some messing around tonight and I've found a tone I'm pretty happy with, maybe a little more tweaking, but thats why I'm posting this here. Any constructive criticism, thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated...

    wiring help

    Would it hurt anything if i tried this?? the only thing i see wrong with this is that since the two hot wires will be touching the signal from the R will go back down the L side and Visa Versa correct?

    wiring help

    My band played a gig the other week and we ran into a problem that has never come up for us before. The person who was supposed to be doing the sound backed out and so the venue had to find someone last minute. We run stereo samples from the laptop to an M-audio box then have two 1/4in cables...

    New boy after some advice...

    learn songs form your favourite bands. find some basic bass scale excersizes. make sure you're using the pinky of the fretting hand, i was bad for this and only used three fingers and im now only getting my pinky used to running scales.

    Paint a Pickguard?

    He has got the idea :) just give it a light sand to scuff it up and prime it then paint it then fint a clear coat finish and coat it in that. let it settle for a few days before playing it or you will just scratch it and chip it suuuper easy since the paint will still be soft, even though its dry.
