    Presonus Eureka.... or

    I did not even think of checking eBay. I am still waiting on a repair estimate. I only assumed $150. I never actually got to sit down and listen to it. I was given the broken unit and it just kind of sat in the original packaging in my closet and I just forgot about it. I am only now starting to...

    Presonus Eureka.... or

    I would be interested in buying something new if I opt out of repairing the Eureka. I never got to use the Presonus before so I do not know how it would compare to pedals and vice versa.

    Presonus Eureka.... or

    Hello! I have recently acquired a Presonus Eureka that is no longer working properly. I have contacted Presonus about a price to repair it but it left me wondering... If the product costs, say $150.00 to repair, would it be worth just buying something new at this point? My intent on the Eureka...

    Bass with both Active and Passive Pups

    My bass does have the option to switch (which I had no idea when I purchased it) and discovered that volume drop when I noticed I had a pull knob. lol This information is perfect. I have seen specs that say both, the passive pups and active electronics as well as both active. My...

    Bass with both Active and Passive Pups

    As the title suggests, I am inquiring about a bass that can function as active and passive. I tried to do a search but seem to find more about Active vs Passive but not as much about both in one. I know the American Fender Deluxe Jazz bass has a switch on it that allows a person to switch...

    What do you guys think of Rocksmith?

    I like it a lot. Did it teach me bass? No, I have been playing for a while. Did it teach me guitar? Not really but it has been very helpful in the journey of the six strings. Should it be the only means of learning? Not at all. I can play the songs as they happen (on bass) but I cannot for the...

    How do you explain what a bass is to someone?

    Bass is the lower register of the audio frequencies that we can hear as humans. Below 60Hz is sub-bass. About 20hz is the lowest the human ear can detect... Any really in and below that area is more likely to be felt then heard. 32-512Hz is about the range a bass player would be playing...

    looking for "the bass guitar bible!"

    I just got this book and has been very good so far. I highly recommend it Serious Electric Bass by Joel Di Bartolo http://www.amazon.com/Serious-Electric-Bass-Contemporary/dp/1576238830/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390603904&sr=1-1&keywords=Serious+bass
