    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    I think the main issue to volume control ( on stage ) lies with how much control you have on the sound guy, and how close you are to the drummer. I've been at a few places where unfortunately both of those combined can lead to higher than desired SPL. Using hearing protection after your ears are...

    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    I'm not sure who you were referring to on the turn it down, but yes, that's always a good idea ( but maybe not as easy as that simple statement implies ). In my case the band I am with really is not that loud ( except the drums, even quiet drummers are loud ). Mostly its been an cumulative...

    I guess I am on the list as I purchased a BG200 today. It will take a few days to get here, I will use it mostly for small informal outside gigs ( I guess I need to find out where to get a battery as I do not believe it comes with it new, correct? )

    What basses are great for a "lead Bass project"

    If you want to play a bass and do "lead" guitar like riffs on it ( and normal bass riffs ) , presuming that's what you mean by lead, and not Pb :) I will bring up a g&l 1500 with its bark like a junkyard dog ( treble boost ) mode, I use mine a lot, it really cuts through the mix. Its not for...
