These were all based in Fargo ND. Chronocide (Thrash) Reverence of Apostasy (Death Metal) Coffin Burner (Sludge/Doom) Insidious (DeathDoom) Famous Monsters (Misfits Tribute Band) There were a couple other bands I jammed with for a month or two but they it did work out for reasons. I've...

I haven't gigged in probably four or five years now but the music program at the high school I recently started working at is trying to rebuild it's music program so they have invited the community to help with pep band at a few games this year. So I will be playing with the pep band again.

the signal is split at the MXR M80 DI +. A parallel signal leaves the MXR and goes into the Boss Tuner and ProCo Rat that then goes to the Fender Bassman Ten. Also a signal goes from the MXR to a Behringer tube screamer clone to a Big Muff, to a CatalinBread SFT then into an Eden E300T and...

Low action and string tension for me because I had a wrist injury (unrelated to bass) in my fretting hand during my first year of playing that I still deal with 16 years later. Also neck width and depth were very tough for me for a long time. Most four string necks I can deal with these days...

In 2007 when I moved to college I tried a Pedulla 5 string for the first time. It was the fanciest most expensive bass I had played in the two years I had been playing. At that time the neck was too wide, too flat, and too thin front to back for me. But over the years it didn't sell and I...

I like both. But they gotta have black or anodized gold pick guards and cream pickup covers. Also my preference is for sunburst or natural color instruments.

Peavey T40 and Spector Euro 5.

A mahogany Jazz bass body with rickenbacker electronics except that the neck pick up is a thunderbird pick up. It will have a maple set neck with a 1.625 inch nut and almost no tapper to the heal. The fretboard will be maple as well. The head stock will be a Gibson style headstock with big...

I am having an issue with MF right now. I ordered DR Fat Beams from them ten days ago because Sweetwater doesn't carry them. They used that UPS Mail Innovations poopie and when I called they couldn't give me any information or help. I usually wouldn't use MF as I have been a SW customer for...

Spector Euro 4 LX with the EMG PJ setup

I bought a used Carvin LB75 for a death metal band I was in because my Jazz Bass just wasn't cutting it but once that band ended I haven't really used it much. I mainly stick to my Precision Bass. I had to get rid of the Jazz Bass for money reasons before the death metal band was over otherwise...

I have a nickle allergy as well and have never had an issue with playing nickle strings.

I played Jazz basses for years but always had to replace the stock pickups with SD quarter pounders because the stock pickups were lifeless and boring sounding. I now play a P bass and prefer the bigger neck and non offset body. I love the Pbass tone more as well though I am thinking of trying...

The Hartke A100 has been the best combo I have ever played. I wish they still made them as mine is over ten years old and I wouldn't mind replacing it with a new one. It still sounds great but It would be nice to have another.
