I've tried using a 9v battery, phantom, and a power all, same issue either way.

I bought a VT Bass Deluxe back in the middle of July and just used it at home. I loved the tones I could get, but noticed it got noisy the more character I added or used brighter tones. I didn't pay much attention to it because it didn't seem too bad at home because I practice at a really low...

Like the title says, what song are you guys using to start the gig? A little overview, we play 3 sets and most of our material is 90's and newer. A few from way back like Johnny B Goode and Brown Eyed Girl, the songs you can't escape to keep the girls out on the floor :rolleyes: By our third...

I couldn't find a post stating when these will be available. Does anyone know? I think this is the missing piece of the puzzle I've been waiting for.

yea, it's like rubbing your stomach while patting your head at the same time...only much harder.

-Bunch of gals dancing, largest one decides to bolt up onto the stage and trips on a cord (of course) and takes out the guitarists amp, wireless, and effects. She just lays there and needs help getting up. -That guy who's eyeing up my bass and decides to come up and "help me play" by...

Hey I belong in this club. Chippewa Falls for me.

Some material you just can't mess with. You either do it right or leave it at home. No quicker way to loose an audience than butchering a classic rock anthem. We are fortunate that we can pull off a really good cover of Pink Floyds Young Lust. It's one of those songs where the scrutiny starts...

I'm in a similiar situation with one of my projects where the singer just wasn't working out and we finally let him go. Unfortunately, we waited too long as most venues weren't calling us back. Once we find a new front person, a name change for us makes sense because we really don't have much of...

A simple phone call or online chat with customer service prior to checkout can have some good results even if there is not a sale on the particular item you are looking to buy.

Almost 50 here and it's been getting nothing but better. I now have great connections from years of playing out and making a name for myself. Now people contact me for gigs and it's usually for better pay, nicer venues, and more appreciative crowds. I don't strike the wide stance and play...

Pay to play? when hell freezes over. I'll take #21

I've been playing bass in various cover bands for years, but recently got involved with a really cool bunch of people for an R&B project. Some of the material has a slap/pop/percussive thing going on that goes further than anything I've done before. A little history of my playing style...

I just play it by ear. If it's really tough or I can't figure out exactly how it's done, I'll see if someone did a cover on youtube.
