Hello all, My home was recently flooded and I lost my Hartke 410 and 215 cabinets. I still have my Hartke 3500 head though and it's served me well over the years. I was wondering if anyone knew if that Head works well with these new HyDrive speaker cabs I've been seeing. I'm looking to get a...

I recently posted two blogs about my audition experience back in 2011: how to get an invite to audition, how to prepare, and what the audition was like. Part 1: Invalid Link Removed Part 2: Invalid Link Removed

Thanks. I actually saw another video of a guy online that took some BBs, put them inside a stocking cap, tied that off, then placed that little BB pouch inside his electronics compartment. Not a bad idea. However, my MTD bass has an electronics compartment that is just stuffed with all...

Thanks for the input. I've been experimenting with different strings and basses to try and find that perfect balance for my touring rock show I play with. I might go with an Mbrace guitar stand to hold my fretless when I need it. So many possibilities.

A few months back I got back from a small tour over in Mexico. I had to ship all my gear from Cancun over the Gulf and to my home in Louisiana. When I got the gear out of the shipping crates I saw that they were quite tarnished. The strings were all rusty feeling, the fingerboards were gunky...

I came here looking for people in search of neck dive solutions. I recently posted a video tutorial on how to make your own counterweight for neck heavy bass guitars. I made mine myself and it's cheaper than anything else on the market. All you need is a wifi pouch, an old guitar strap...

Thanks. I also have a GTBD-7 and love it. I want to make a bass ramp for it as well. I'm going to be making a video and blog soon about how to make a counterweight for neck heavy instruments. I came up with a great way to keep those neck heavy guitars perfectly in balance both with a...

Hello everyone, I recently posted a new blog/video demonstrating how you can make your own bass ramp. After recently getting into players like Hadrien Feraud and Janek Gwizdala I became interested in bass ramps. I saw that you typically have to get one custom made and they can cost a bit...

Hello, I have a question about how Michael Manring goes about using his hyperbass in a band setting. I've recently taken my fretless Warwick Corvette and strung it up with picollo bass strings - D'Addario EXL280s. I love what I can do with it and the tone I get out of it. It's great for...
