    Into an Android

    Ok so: iRig: these seem to feature instrument level and mic level inputs, and seem to be 1/8" output. Suggest they work best with Apple software, and may be ok on Android with specific 3rd party app $. I don't need/want my phone working as an amp/fx (which is mostly what iRig is offering?) I...

    Into an Android

    Ok ty that R0de ai-micro may totally fit the bill! Price is right, it's readily available. So we are probably "problem solved" here, I will post back when I get one and try it... but Was curious about various XLR to usb-c mic adapters also, some of those I think have a dongle that works with...

    Into an Android

    Those are helpful suggestions if vague on user experience, so has anyone used one of these audio interfaces that says "Android" with a recent phone edition, no headphone jack, did it easily work into usb-C? Did it require tech voodoo? Software wise will "anything go" or is it pricey 3rd party...

    Into an Android

    I have an Android Samsung A54. It has no headphone/mic jack. I want a "low cost" solution. I will consider variable $ but, if its getting close to a used MacBook, we'll thats my longterm anyway. Problem: atm if I want to record myself, I am just using my phone as a crappy mic. I mostly just...

    I have decided then think I ever would.

    Like I was saying: You now have the sound you wanted from the new Yamaha. That's awsome. I wanted that Humbucking active bass sound and got it as my second bass. You don't need TWO basses that sound the same. That Ibanez is a really nice bass as is. Play it differently to bring out it's own...

    I have decided then think I ever would.

    Now that you have the humbucking bass sound of your dreams... Two bassy basses may be too much of a good thing! You have nice pickups and a great neck Ibanez, may I suggest JAY the PJ? Seems to me many treat these as P+ an effect knob. Thats one way. What if you play it a whole new way? Since...

    How to solo?

    the minor blues "scale" off the key of the song is your best friend! Your mostly not gonna play a scale (though if u throw in octave notes and syncopate and rest that can be a good solo) so you dont need (or probably want) to practice it like a boring piano scale, but you need to know the...

    Cab combo preferences

    Safe bet is stick with manufacturer and same line. Otherwise phase cancelation of some bass may occur. I, as an above post, have the GB210+112, and its an amazing combo. Certain Mesa lines (for instance) all play well together by design. If you want to try mismatched combos, try before you...

    Lost use of ring & pinky on fretting hand

    Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath lost the ends of middle two fingers on fretting hand right on his last day of work before intending to go pro. 1) he developed a truly unique playing style of awsome! 2) he made his own prosthetics and "invented" his own light gague strings until they were...

    Bartolini BH2 and Ibanez bass

    I would totally have tried the EMG if they had the casing option... anything bass is small scale, I feel like swapping low end barts (Ibanez, Cort, some Laklands ffs) seems pretty common. As it is now, the cheap chinese humbuckers fit perfectly and sound good, so I am in no rush to get the...

    Dear Fender

    I would take Fender 21 frets, like seriously why did they stop at 20? You often root on 7, fith and octave is on 9, so octaves on the fith (21) and double octave on the root at 21, while still pedaling the sub octave as an open string... I like my J but 20 is 1 short! Some things I can only do...
