Yeah, chances are the piece is fine, just some bad soldering to the board which caused it to fall off.

That is an electrolytic capacitor. A 1,000 uF @ 35 volts to be exact. It looks like the leads (the wires coming out of the bottom) might have come straight off, so it might be possible, but it depends on how the other side of the board looks. An important thing to pay attention to with...

Hopefully it will get better. Sometimes people can get used to doing things one way if no one complains, but since you were pretty up front and very respectful about having a problem with it, maybe he'll realize he has to be a little more mindful. Good Luck!

I don't know what kind of music you like, but if you like punk the Double Down Saloon is a great club. Totally free, and a very cool divey music club. I also don't like gambling, so I always go there when I'm in Vegas.

Sleater-Kinney was 2 guitars and drums with no bass. And those girls rocked. Though occasionally one will play a bass line on their guitar, they are mainly truly without bass.

A lot of good points already made. I would also recommend going the 4 string route. The bass and guitar are very different instruments, which it sounds like you already know, and nothing will make that more apparent than having to work with only 4 strings. Good luck on what should be a fun...

Good rant! Sucks that this happened, and hope you find the next project soon.

I've stopped caring whether this is true or not. These stories crack me up to no end. Keep em coming!!!!

This is all from the perspective of an originals band, so if you're a cover band, I've got no idea of that scene. I think the absolute best place for heavier music is Reggie's, but it is a big place and you'll have to work for a while to get started. In general you are going to be...

Well that sucks! Hope you find something you like for your Spector.

I just got my Markbass, and really love it a lot. The waveform limitation is a drag, but it tracks really well and gives you a lot of options. I find that it also sounds really good in a full on rock band context. Haven't tried the other pedals. As for the analog/digital thing, I love me...

Bongomania was right in pointing out that it is probably not an impedance problem, since all of your basses are low impedance, since they all have active preamps on board. It's more likely that your Spector is just putting out too high of a level, so you might try lowering the volume on your...

Glad to see someone from Milford! I grew up there, just south of the village! I would respond to craigslist ads where you are just outside of the age range. At least in Chicago, we get a lot of 25-35 kind of thing, but even though I am older by a few years, it wasn't that big of a deal for...

That's tough man. Really feel for you. Sounds like the band would just be keeping these old wounds open, and you need for them to heal. Wish you the best of luck, and you might want to look into joining another band, this time with no sisters involved!

Man, I love how he's already gotten a lot of crap for this, but he's still going for it. At least he doesn't lack for confidence....
