Thanks so much. That really does make sense. I'm always afraid that I'll neglect one portion of my work, but you're right, things need prioritizing.

So here's my story. I'm 23, and a recent music graduate. I find myself playing many roles in my work. By day I'm an AV tech and I'm currently budgeting and redesigning the hall acoustics where I work. I do studio engineering, live sound, and I play upright and electric in musicals. I work in...

I double on electric and upright, and I've got mild OCD about neatness. Zip ties and velcro are key to this setup. Everything is in order and completely essential (except the chorus pedal, thats just for me). I've got an entire rig in one bag, and I'm ready to go just by opening it and flipping...

Tuner -> Compressor -> Distortion -> Chorus -> Wah. Wah at the end of the chain. That's right. Haters gonna hate. Don't hate.

Hey, I just bought a 2011 Squire 5 string jazz. I'd like to replace the "economy" tuners with some real good ones. Can I even do that? Any suggestions where to buy/have installed? Thanks.

YouTube - ‪Chill Bass Jam‬‏ I hit the second set of chords a little hard and should have re done it, but what do you guys and gals think of the vid? thanks

I have some questions about the EHX Bass Microsynth for all of us who survived the rapture. 1. Is it true you have to have a separate power source, and cannot just daisy chain it? 2. Can it function as an octave pedal, synthesizer, and envelope filter all separate from each other? Just...

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave...

I am about to do a youtube video of just a bass doing "Blue Bossa" and in listening to the original, I can't seem to figure out what kind of clave to use. any suggestions?

I plan to get the big muff pi, so that will take care of my OD/fuzz. Also. I wanna get a bass synth, which it seems i'll be getting a Boss SYB-5. So, that leaves 2 small pedals or one large one. What to do?

Here is my new board, so far I have a tuner, compressor, and chorus pedal in that order. I have room for 2 "big" pedals, or 4 "small pedals" or 2 small and 1 big. I plan to get a big muff pi very shortly, what other KIND of pedals should I get? What effects are pretty "necessary"?

That is true, but I just had to share the experience as a complete facepalm moment.

I did a bunch of research on compressors, and my local GC had the one I wanted, the Markbass Compressore (Which I now own and love). The pedal comes with its own adapter, but the employee I was dealing with grabbed some random 12 v adapter to accompany it. The pedal starts smoking and a burning...

One bass, never broke a string.

I actually have tried that. Now that you showed me that I'm not mentally insane i'm gonna HAVE to do that from now on. Thanks buddy! :mad:
