We have a bi-weekly songwriting get-together. Usually we have 2 or 3 groups of 3-4 people each and usually have some topic starters. Recently we had our first all day songwriting retreat as well. About 2-3 times a year we try and record a live music video for our original songs. It's been...

IEMs are one of the best upgrades for overall sound quality for everybody once they're set up correctly. A few points. 1. The hiss in your ears is to be expected. When you pipe the signal straight into your ears you're aware of all sorts of noise that has always existed, but wasn't really...

Also, to add to others feedback, if you have a boost in front of the Le Bass, I find the Channel B becomes much more usable and fun to experiment with some light breakup. I will sometimes use my compressor to boost the signal to I can have more gain headroom to play with on the Le Bass

Churches where the members don't find a no-show unusual will inevitably have no-shows. There will always be somebody irresponsible around and it's the job of the WL to create a culture where it's not acceptable so they either learn to step up or are removed from the team.

I'd just have a conversation with him. Something like "Hey I noticed the drums sounded way different this week; did you do something different with the kick?" Have a conversation about what changes were made, see if he liked the changes, etc. Get his perspective on the situation. Then express...

Approximately 21:30 for anybody who wants to go straight to the conversation.

The Easter Recording referenced below. On the conversation of tone, I usually opt for a bass heavy and tone rolled off sort of sound. I love playing my fretless P Bass with flats, so I like a tone without a lot of high end most of the time. On Easter I played my G&L which is my go-to when I...

This is SO ME lately... I love my board, but the longer I go the more I realize that for the most part nobody can really hear the difference between my straight signal, dirty channel on my Le Bass, Reverb on/off, chorus, etc. I've gotten to where other than my compressor, my signal stays pretty...

Good start, but sort of in reverse order of my approach. I would ask very broad questions to see how open and transparent he is starting with something like "So tell me a little history about your band and your gig" and see where he goes with things. If he's cagey and doesn't want to give many...

Man, that's a rough spot to be in for sure. Hope it all turns out well for you guys

I've been working on our church for about a year to upgrade our passive DI with some sort of bass preamp. We have about 6-8 various bassists that may play at some point, all with their own instruments and I am the only one with anything in the signal chain other than a tuner. Needless to say...

I've heard of this method also. Thanks for reminding me .

Yeah it was a great deal from a great TBer. Puts a lot of care into his instruments so I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

It depends on the type of skill. Personally I feel like my strongest skill in my playing is in hearing what goes well with the band, where to fit what I am doing with others, making suggestions to others on what might fit well etc. If a bass line is all over the place and really fast just...

Here's the classified thread 1976 Fender fretless neck. Here's the reranch thread for the restoration with a little more detail, but the photo links are broken.
