Hey guys. Wondering if someone could point me in the right direction here. I play through a Peavey Tour 700 head. Great head, never had any issues with it. Recently, it's started this weird hissing sound. The bass I normally use is passive, but when I plug in an active bass, the hissing gets...

Gigs I only drink water, and lots of it. Practice, preferably Guinness, New Castle, and whatever weak beer my bandmates bring. If I drink beer during a gig, my muscle lock up and I can't move my fingers. Kind of sucks when you play fingerstyle.

yeah, the BX100 is ridiculously heavy.

I thought it was funny when Slipknot tried to sue Burger King for their chicken fries commercials, saying that the band in the commercial was copying them.

You hate Dragon Force, but you want to see Slipknot? hahahahaha! I'll just get a bunch of guys to beat on random **** in my garage and whine about how people hate them. And there you have a Slipknot show.

yeah, it's an Eminence speaker. I'll wire a jack into it and see how that works out. I think I will mount a tuner or power conditioner where the amp was.

I have an idea that I need some advice on. I have a 10 year old Crate BX100 combo that I used as a practice amp. The amp is pretty much dead, but the 15" speaker and the whole box in general is in perfect condition. I am wondering if it would be reasonable to pull the amp out and wire a jack...

I once saw an offset V bass on ebay. It was made by LaMoya. It looked pretty nice and was equiped with EMG pick ups, but I have never heard of that brand.

I was actually debating on buying a MAG600 or buying a Traynor YBA200. I think I'm leaning more towards Traynor after all the negative things I've been reading about Ashdown.

That's a tough one. My funeral is going to be a huge party with clowns, a petting zoo, fire breathers, etc. So there are going to be a lot of songs being played. I must say though, once I'm buried, I will have a close friend sit by my grave and blast Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor just in...

Glen Benton - Deicide (a few times) Nathan Bergeron - Goatwhore Jon Vesano - Nile Spoke to the bass player from SpineShank when I was working at AOL. That was kind of funny. The encounter with Jon was funny. He was dating a friend of mine and just showed up at her house one night while she...

Good one. I really enjoyed Orchid.

aw, videos have been removed by user. Damn, I was curious to see what all this debate was about.

I have had this issue before too. I play fingerstyle death metal, and sometimes my right hand would cramp to the point of not being able to move. For me, it was a hydration issue. I would have to drink nothing but water all day before a gig. I noticed that if I had a beer before playing, it...

ah, I'm not on the list. Oddly enough though, I noticed there are many big name death metal and black metal bass players that are not on the list, such as Alex Webster.
