    Hartke Kickback 12, w/ Rock Band...

    I had one of those. It's a great little amp but I don't think it's suitable for a rock gig. I used it at church, and some small gigs, but for a bigger venue, with loud bandmates, I wouldn't recommend.

    Another fender lawsuit

    I understand. Cars might not be the best example. My point is, Fender let other manufacturers and builders use the Strat body for decades for their builds and now its become "generic". You can change the look of a car, but in the end, it's still a car. Do I believe they have a right to protect...

    Another fender lawsuit

    I can't tell one from the other by just looking at them. This lawsuit will be a tough fight for Fender.

    Another fender lawsuit

    I am probably in the minority here, but I believe no guitar body should be copyrighted. Only headstocks. To me, it's like trying to copyright the concept of a car. A chasis, a frame, 4 wheels, engine and transmission. If Ford were allowed to do this, the world would be very different now. It...

    Double Bass Hire in Amsterdam

    Hello. Can't help you with your request. Just hoped in to say that as I was reading this thread, "Amsterdam" from Van Halen started playing on my streaming app. 🤔 Good luck with your research.

    2026 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees

    They should change the name to "Music Hall of Fame" and get it over with. "Music" is an umbrella that pretty much covers anyone.

    J bridge pickup looks crooked

    If it doesn't affect the sound or the playability of the instrument, I'd leave it alone. No one will notice unless you tell them.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I always thought they sold more basses than guitars. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    As of now, looks like we're not getting any new basses or finishes this year. I hope I'm wrong. I only found new guitars, but no basses. :(

    Old Mobile phones you had. Which ones do you miss?

    I miss my Blackberry Curve.

    New Fender Gold Foil

    I strongly believe that, if they swap that gold foil pickup with a P, they would sell twice as many basses.

    Lessons learned from Bands in General

    This list is perfect! These questions need to be asked. I'm saving this post so I can use it in the future. Thank you. Just for clarification, I did ask some of these questions, but all I got was blurry, evasive answers. That's on me because I really liked the repertoire and though the band had...

    Lessons learned from Bands in General

    We had no place to rehearse for free, so we payed $80 dollars plus tax, for two hours at the rehearsal studio. I was paying $20 a week because we rehearsed every single week. And that was with no gigs on the horizon. I knew that if we got a gig, the last 2 weeks would be 2 rehearsals a week...

    I would like to at least cover my expenses. Rehearsal studio, gas, tolls, all can add up quickly. I've done gigs for $50, $75, etc. I've even done free gigs for the right reasons (charity, etc.) $30 seems low to me. Specially if I feel the business owner is low balling us.
