I am looking for some opinions. My current bass, a Made in Mexico P Bass Anniversary is in need of a new neck. I got this bass through a trade and have been using it for years semi-pro. I love the tone. However, the neck is at this point unadjustable. The truss rod is maxed out and each...

I think you are probably more upset with the sneaking around rather than the actual performance. Its happened to me, a long boring story, but it turned out alright in the end. I understood the reason why I was not asked to play, but I really wished everyone had been upfront about it. Once...

Thanks! I thought of both of those, but not being that into the tech stuff wanted to get some feedback. I appreciate the quick responses from all.

I had a gig last weekend (outdoor) a little humid here in PA. We set up and went through sound check with no problem. Pushed the Tuner (Mute) button on the amp while we went off stage to wait for start time. On return, when I released the Mute I had quite a bit of scratchy static, low output...

I differ on this one -- special events work, but regular music doesn't at this place. When I turn these kinds of situation into full-on events, with a sponsor, prize give-aways, contests, I have gotten about 70-90 people. Once I did a "Jazz at the Speakeasy" and didn't tell everyone the location...

I still think you are missing the point of the album. First off, if it "killed Rock" then that means others were trying to copy this "sub-par" group of songs. That doesn't seem to make much sense? I guess your "assessment of the music" doesn't include "A Day In The Life". That alone is an...

You had to have been there...That Summer of '67 was unlike any other. And I think that the original question, is reflective of that feeling of youth not just being on a different plane of thinking, but able to change the world into a better place through will power. Sgt. Pepper captured the...

Oversimplification. Paul was very active at the time, but a full review shows that each was in charge of his own songs. Of course suggestions and contributions from the others were given. George Martin acted more as in interpreter of their ideas and thought of ways to execute them. I think...

George was NOT a technical player, and some of what he played was rudimentary at best, but I think you have missed the point of essence of his talent. Check out the Concert For George CD and really listen to the live versions of his songs played by musicians that are not only great artists but...

Except for Please Please Me, none of the Beatle Albums contained singles previously released. This was a deliberate intention to provide more value to fans.

Two outa three ain't bad, but I have to disagree on Mr. Moonlight. Vocal is OUTSTANDING.

Its only that way because the bar thinks that just HAVING music will bring in business. Not true at all! That's what I am saying. He has to make a commitment to entertainment as an additional business. Just because he has available space somewhere in the bar does NOT mean he is now in show...

it was never in the PA and when removed from the chain, there was no whistle. There was never a whistle from the cab

I disagree with that premise. If the bar owner doesn't think his customers want music, why would he hire a band to begin with? I think that he is as responsible or more to promote and advertise any entertainment he provides, whether it be dancers, a band or a pool table. If the public...

It was Bass>Preamp>Amplifier>Cabinet= Whistle Nothing else in my amp. A cell phone in my pocket but whistle was audible before I stood next to it.
