    Is there a most hated, yet famous bassist?

    Sid - Couldn't play, doesn't count. Fieldy - Plays his role in that band well, I think. I don't see Korn being the same without him, or vice-versa Gene Simmons and Michael Anthony - I see them the same way - They both played a simple role musically, stayed in the background, and held down a...

    What is the best self defense product?

    +10 Don't buy the whole anti-gun thing, Switzerland has compulsory gun ownership for all legal age males, and last I checked, a single-digit crime rate. The number of defensive gun uses in this country is way up there too. Martial arts only really works if A) You're an expert (years of...

    Yet another pickguard poll! Photoshop edition.

    The control plate looks way hotter on custom finishes like that. I'd have said PG if it were a solid finish.

    need to get new bass - advice wanted

    New Fenders are good, but I think it definitely says something that they keep trying so hard to make them identical to old Fenders. Plus, old fenders are pre-mojo'd.

    Is the Basses Section getting segregated?

    See, if I wanted to start something I would tell that person to just buy a piano... but I would never do something like that...;) My Dad's joke BTW (credit where it's due.)

    i wants a B.C. Rich

    +2.36 on the ESP, I just played that very one at Sam Ash not long ago, and it was killer imo. Great tone, and as far as looks go, the natural wood keeps the pointy shape from being dorky. If you do try one though, you may want to be mindful of the weight - the one I played was a bit heavy...

    I'm shocked no one's mentioned "Feel Good Inc." (Until Now!)

    Crazy reasons for breaking up the band

    It's sad. I've lost friends to WoW too (not band related however).

    Wiring Question

    Many thanks, and yes, I will most definitely be needing a schematic ( I can do the work not so much the diagrams). What would you suggest as far as the resistor - If I roll down the treble on the bass I like it as far down as possible, if that helps.

    Wiring Question

    Hey All, I have an AXL Player Deluxe (Passive Stingray copy) and the electronics just crapped out on me a day or two ago. I removed them, and now have a lead from the p'up and a ground wire and nothing in between. I was going to just replace the knobs as they were, but I had an idea for...

    Breathing new life into my Squier.

    Mines got Fralins in it now, New tuners whenever and a new bridge maybe... also I'm currently repainting it for the umpteenth time.

    this is too much even for me

    "So, a word of warning. This is not a bass for the faint hearted. It’s a BIG bass and always gets a ‘what the f***!!!’ reaction from anyone who sees it." At least he's honest ;)

    Good bass for MeeeTTTTTaaaaaL!

    I'd get a Warwick or a P-bass, paired with D'adarrio's and an aggressive amp. The Mesa M6 is perfect for that sound IMO.
