I had lunch a few weeks ago at the H&H in downtown Macon. That's an incredible place to go if you are an ABB fan. There's a lot of ABB memorabilia on the walls. I always liked this painting there of Duane and Berry.

Trying turning the gain down to 9:00 and master volume around 11:00. If that works, ease them back up a little.

I saw Gov't Mule in 1996 at Liz Reed's in downtown Macon GA. Allen Woody was playing his SG through a very old looking Ampeg SVT and fridge. It was the ballsiest, dirty bass sound, and it was awesome. He played with a pick too. Second was Nikki Sixx believe it or not, on the Carnival of...

I'm waiting on the arrival of my MTD Kingston Saratoga 5. I currently have LaBella Standard flats on my current bass. Anyone tried the medium flat 5 string set on a Saratoga? What did you think about them? Did they fit on the nut?

Has anyone ever had a problem with flatwound strings on a Warwick Rockbass Corvette? From the nut to the tuning pegs, the strings seem to take quite a bend. Heavier gauge strings like La Bella flats might have difficulty making such a bend like that. Anyone out there use flats on a Warwick?

Thanks SurferJoe, that is the look I'm trying to get.

Hello everyone, I am looking at purchasing the 51 style bridge cover for my Squier 50s Precision. Will this actually cover the bridge on this Squier? It's larger than the Fender bridges like on the Sting model. Anyone done this?

I wish I could be there. Baseball games and birthday parties is how we'll spend this Saturday.

Will the La Bella 760FS set fit on an Epiphone Thunderbird? Will the nut need to be filed for the E string to fit?

Will the La Bella 760FS size work better since they are not as big as the Jamerson set? Are these maybe still too thick?

Same with middle Georgia, but do you have church's in double-wide trailers? We've got plenty of those.

This article should help some... Link Removed Think of modes as the feeling, or the mood of a song. Different modes offer different feelings (dark, happy, upbeat, etc). This article also gives examples of different songs to illustrate that point. I've just begun learning modes, and...

Jimmy, what microphone do you use/recommend? I just recently started playing in our church's praise band. I play a passive bass into a passive DI box. My issue is the same as the original poster - no articulation in the notes. I play a Hartke 15 Kickback and love the sound that I get out of...

I have an Epiphone Thunderbird with D'Addario Chrome flats. I'd like to try a set of the James Jamerson La Bella strings, and was wondering if anyone has ever played this combination. Also, will these thicker strings fit in the nut?
