    Effects identification

    i think we got both of them. thank you it is a bit mangler and it was an intersting choice for the bassist (and it was a band without any guitar but the sound was amazing)

    Shops in NY Carrying also used gear - Queens & Manhattan

    Hey, Sonny, have you bought anything? i am planning a trip in NY in fall and i was thinking of doing the same but my extra question is, did you had problems at the customs when entering EU? did they ask you anything for the bass? did you pay extra?

    90 miles for $200.00? Reasonable?

    Sorry i didn't get the whole picture. Are u in the area with your band? are you going to share a ride or are you driving solo? Also is this originals or cover band? If it is original band you should definitely go also to promote your work to another audience, even if you have to drive 2 hours...

    Bass does not work with pedals

    r u sure you have checked all the connections? all the cables are good? are all pedals properly powered (either battery or charger)? are all the knobs on a position that sound is expected (eg volume)? my first guess will be the extra cable you are using

    What do I need for playing live?

    Αsk the band where to rent all the equipment you need. this is for sure cheaper than buying a cheap piece of gear, that you gonna hate rapidly and never use it again

    Easiest way to replace drummer with midi on a gig

    i am doing it with Ableton. even in our gigs i have same set up ready and i just start a sequence (adding some measures of sticks is useful). but if you want something even close to decent sounding from that, you have to spend hours of making it sound as decent as it gets (and at some times even...

    Cover band set-list conflicts.

    I still don't get it. There is an ad, stating all your favorite bands. You speak with the guy and your musical tastes converge a lot. And then you start criticizing his song picks? I mean that situation described is the best initial conditions to start a cover band with a stranger. It seems...

    Band Finance Advice

    It seems that you have to do "the talk". Is everybody on the same page? What's their plans? Are they looking into the possibility of composing original material? Do they hope to get bigger (even as a cover band?). if everybody (or the majority) agrees that this project is fullfilled as a local...

    Help with making my bass light

    Another suggestion is to use a wider strap. that way you are going to feel it a lot lighter and support it better. i really think most of the problem comes from bad anatomic of the strap and the way you hold it. try something different, even discuss it with an orthopedic and design a support...

    Soviet-era Eastern Bloc Basses (Orfeus, Tonika, Jolana, Cremona, Ural, etc)

    I have been seeing this ORFON in an ad for quite a while (For around 200 $) but hadn't a chance to go there and check the sound.

    Ampeg Micro VR

    I have ampeg mirco vr connected to one 210av cab. but i can see from this (and other) threads, that having 2 cabs is the most popular set up and i was wondering if you guys have experienced differences or have suggestion of whether to install the cabs parallel or in chain(series). i assume that...

    Just moved in my own place! And got a nice hum noise on all my recordings now...

    i would also get a try after unplugging all devices that have a motor (fridge, washing machine, dishwasher etc). and even try to have my musical equipment in another room to check if the hum insists
