    60th Anniversary Fender Jazz questions....

    Late but these definitely aren’t MF/GC specials. Mine was purchased at a local shop new in 2006 and they got it from fender directly to the shop. Mines stock outside the pickguard and there’s been seasoned musicians who think it’s a US made just from the sound. Nothing seems special about it...

    What are your bands practice structure and song writing process like?

    Man you guys are all awesome! Thank you everyone so far for your insights and everything. Definitely some things I'm hearing from you all that makes me think some of my groups need to work a little more on our practice structures

    What are your bands practice structure and song writing process like?

    This goes to really anyone but also more specifically people who are in bands where the song writing process is pretty collective with all members. What is all your guys and gals processes for writing music and putting together songs? Also how does everyone structure practices to help make...

    What steps do you all take to dial in your tone?

    How is that preamp? I love those old 360s. A local music shop had one for sale for a while in fantastic condition but I just never had that kind of dough to get it

    What steps do you all take to dial in your tone?

    Me and my guitarist both have wireless so we can walk around venues during sound check

    What steps do you all take to dial in your tone?

    I mean I know the search for tone is endless and fruitless but what do all of you do to craft your tones? What steps do you all take to dial it in and what are the major factors you take into account? i know it’ll vary immensely from genre to genre but that’s okay! I’m just curious how...

    Rhearsals - What they are for and how they should be run.

    Not gonna lie I think it’s perfectly possible to be a pro/semi-pro style band and have weed and alcohol. If it’s in excess and gets in the way of progress? Sure. But I don’t think that automatically negates it being “pro”. Pro is showing up. Knowing your stuff. Being on time ready. Solid working...

    Fleetwood Mac - Ugh.

    Also if no one Sorry I had to look it up and see and it's at 2:11 in the song. You can hear page essentially stop playing nearly half way through to sing back up but JPJ still going on the keyboards with Bohnam but I think they even lose it for a second

    Fleetwood Mac - Ugh.

    It's in the second or third verse maybe? One of the versus page loses time with bohnam and they all found the one again just at the end of the verse. It's pretty subtle but it sounds off. Quick edit. I just cant remember which verse but it should be the second or third verse.

    Fleetwood Mac - Ugh.

    Or led zeppelin. There is a 25-30 second chunk where the band falls entirely out of time with each other during a verse in Misty Mountain Hop

    The Acoustic Club

    Went into the store today expecting to pick up a small Fender Rumble 100 and they had the new Acoustic B100C there those classic models with the tilt back. As much as I loved the warm nature of the Rumble, I went with the Acoustic because I ended up liking how it sounded and looked more. But I...

    Are bassists the most easily butt-hurt of all musicians?

    Yeah I'm regularly considered the calmest and most level headed of the two groups I play in

    You haven't met the guitarist in my band

    Does anyone else here dislike PJ basses?

    I love my P/J and my Jazz. I sold my P bass because of the PJ. If I need that P bass I have it, but I love being able to add in that jazz pick up for flavor and articulation. I prefer the sound of a Jazz bass over a P or P/J any day but I love being able to have that P bass and be able to add a...

    Fender Rumble Club

    That's really what I'm hoping. Maybe bad speaker cable or something. I'm curious about the loud popping
