    GK MB 210i Bass Cabinet

    I had a GK MB 210i that got fried due to a lighting strike. I took it to the local musicians’ electrician who told me to remove the plate amp from the cabinet. After extended length of time and numerous calls I finally reached him. I inquired about my amp and if it was ready. He stated that he...

    Buy a pedal, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

    Whoever posted about the multi-effects pedals never lied. A DigiTech was one of my first pedals from there I never stopped until I got the sounds that I wanted without having to dial it in. What I'm really wanting and shopping around for now is a wah and an overdrive. And possibly a compressor...

    Bass backing track

    Sabotage the bass track and play it live. It'll be nothing they can do at this point. If the track does appear while you're playing just bust out into a solo and make it all fit. After the show when the audience is giveing the bass player all of the praises, and your bandmates want to...

    Battery Powered Bass Amps

    Check otu the Roland Micro Cube RX Bass Amp. Ive owned one when I was in the Army. We'd go TDY for months at a time, living in Hotels, Motels, and Holiday Inns... literally. I had an acoustic/electric bass, and a Boss BR-900CD. If you can find one. And even after in the recording studio. That...

    That's why I have a 4x10

    10's are the way to go. I use GK 210 for most gigs, extremely lightweight. My 1001rb pushes a Trace 210 or/and a Neo 410, depending on the venue.

    Which brand do you play through?

    I like using my Roland Bass Cube as a preamp to dial in the sound I want; in instances where I'm not using either of my GK rigs; and theres an amp available. Then I give it to'em OnePluck@aTime!

    what's the differ between string-through-body and topload?

    Physics says that you get better tone, better sustain with thru-body threading as opposed to top threading. The more string that involves the guitar in what it's doing, the more the guitar will be involved. The difference between the two may not be noticeable but you can't argue with science. I...

    "J" pickups discussion and comparisons.

    I must admit that the DiMarzio Model J (aka DP123) are a hot p/u!!! I had these installed in my 73-75 Jazz soon after they came out. I was trully impressed. The funk was in da house!!!!! Lost that Sunburst axe to the pawn shop in Newport News, VA on Warwick Blvd right outside of the (new) back...

    Im' buying a bass, any tips?

    The instrument dosent have anything to do with distoration. I appreciate your asking questions about what bass to get , but What you need to do is go out and put your hands on a few of'em and realize what YOUR preference may be for what YOU want to do. Can't NOBODY tell YOU what feels and sounds...

    What not to do

    Just Do It!!!! You're going to be nervous, but just use it to your advantage. Don't attempt to show off, lay a good foundation and keep it solid, listen for breaks. If you miss'em the first time catch'em the next time around. DO NOT STOP if you make a mistake. If there's a section of a song that...

    floating thumb techniqe

    IMO, I don't think this is something that one should REALLY practice to do. Muting the strings should come natural as you practice the technique of produceing good tone. Being able to move. stretch and vary the positions of both hands works and varys all of the muscles and tendeons of the hands...

    Finger Nail Poll

    I too. Nails get it the way, produce unwanted tone(s)

    Good chair for practicing?

    A stool of some sort, a good drum throne is good too especially if it's height adjustable. Try using an excercise ball; helps with the posture and the ab and back muscules which are really important. Gonna check out the craftsman. I also saw a hydraulic height adjust with nice bike seat @...
