    A Few Piccolo questions.

    Most likely I won't keep it an octave up. I'm planning on using a piccolo for more experimental tunings and a different overall timbre.

    A Few Piccolo questions.

    Lately I have been interested in expanding my playing palette. I think a piccolo would be a nice addition and a new way of playing. I know D'Addario makes a Piccolo string set, my question is more along the lines of what adjustments need to be made in order to accomodate the strings, if any.

    Wanting a Fretless.

    I've been wanting to pick up a fretless for awhile now. After researching and visiting various local music stores, I've decided that I want to go for either a lower end Fender (probably MIM) or a Squier VM Fretless. Of course I need to test both out, but I want to hear from you guys, as well as...

    Overlooked Great Bass Albums.

    I'm glad Dada was brought up. Awesome stuff there. I'd say "Parallels" by Fates Warning has some great fretwork by Joey DiBiase.

    Recording Help needed

    Okay, so my band wants to record our originals this weekend. Right now I use the latest version of Garageband, a Zoom H4n, and a Macbook Pro. How would it be possible to record us all without recording track-by-track? We think it's better to record all together as if we're playing the song, but...

    Ever seen one of these?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Single-Neck-10-string-electric-Bass-Guitar-154-/110550615834?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item19bd54871a#ht_3767wt_913 Very unique, almost Chapman-stick-ish. I think this is one of those odd Ebay guys, though. Nevertheless, it looks pretty cool! What do you guys say?

    Ibanez SR400QM

    It also looks like the pickups are humbucking on the SR370M. My SR300M's pickups are not. I really like the look of the new one also.

    Ibanez SR506 vs. Ibanez BTB406

    The sound factor is definitely important to me, but I don't want to be playing a heavy bass and have it be tiring onstage. I'm looking for a mellower, kind of dull tone, nothing too aggressive. In a way I kind of compare it to Myung's tone in his instructional video but I don't want to try to...

    Ibanez SR506 vs. Ibanez BTB406

    Sell me on one of these basses. Local music store has the BTB in a dark almost black finish but with that quilted touch. Price I'm not totally sure of but it's close to $700. Guitar Center has the 506 in it's usual color and it's $620. I'm leaning toward the 506, but I want to be sure. If you...

    John Myung and John Myung in Dream Theater mixes

    Awake is definitely my favorite Myung tone, aside from his early J bass growl. I think the tone on WDADU is very unique.

    John Myung

    Personally Myung's tone isn't all that appealing but in a way it is perfect for the music he plays. It's nothing that cuts into difficult riffs or lead licks, and he's still doing some awesome stuff. All in all Myung has a unique tone and is an awesome player.

    Cheap, headless, bass that accepts single ball strings

    Try the Steinberger Spirit bass. $420 (even though you don't wanna go over 400) Never played one but they look decent. Also it looks like you can grab one for $280 online.

    Ibanez SR 706... Yes or no?

    Is the flamed maple top worth the extra $$ as compared to the 506? I'm trying to decide which one is a better buy.:confused:
