    PJ Pickups humming/buzzing

    Oh, It might be a problem with other electrical stuff plugged in the place, or worst-case scenario, a problem in the apartment electrical setup, hopefully just in the room or outlet you're using. I'm having a similar issue, actually... My roomate works in the healthcare system, so due to the...

    PJ Pickups humming/buzzing

    iPad for recordings and making music on your own

    Thank you all for your inputs!! I've been playing with JamUp, and it's definitely better than Amplitube (though Amplitube look cooler, hahaha!) I uploaded another song and updated the other one. If you have any question regarding how I recorded the songs just ask and I'll explain in detail! ;)

    Fender American Design Experience

    i'm really disappointed. I was expecting more options, like P/J pup configuration for both precision and jazz basses. Also, while you can choose jazz necks for the p bass, you can't choose p necks for the j bass. I was expecting at least more color options. well... at least it's something...
