    Would you be able to use the bass terror with the 115 cab?

    Jared Followill - Kings of Leon

    the new album is mediocre but i still dig his playing. for some reason they have decided to over-produce everything and have moved away from that raw sound they had on the first few albums. i liked it better when i couldn't understand caleb and they looked like they hadn't showered in a week...

    J bass users... How do you set your tone controls?

    Mainly rock & alternative stuff. Always set the volume controls at the same level to reduce hum. Tone control at around 75%.

    Half-stack for a student.

    you will want something portable dude. at my college we have a few music rooms and it would be a bitch to lug a half stack up and down a few sets of stairs to play in them

    Official Lakland Owners Club (part 6)

    Hey guys. I have been playing for 2 or so years and have a MIM J bass. I am looking to move it up a level and purchase a Lakland. I dont really like p-basses so I am looking at either a skyline Jones 4 or an Osborn. I have been looking at the specs and one thing I noticed was the difference in...

    Official Lakland Owners Club (part 6)

    Probably done to death, but any thoughts on the Skyline JO 4 v DJ 4? I really want to pull the trigger on a Lakland, but cant make up my mind. From what I have seen on the net, it seems that the DJ is more available than the JO.

    Guitar Center Rant

    + 1 Roon - oh the horror of all that gear available under the one roof and at cheap prices :smug: Also, who cares what gear other people play? If an "Emo chick" wants a Warwick then props for her, at least she is giving it a go :bassist:

    Fender precision 73 Bass with crack in headstock

    Wouldn't go near that. Check out Gruhns, they have a few 1970's basses for reasonable prices.

    "why did you choose to play bass? is it because you couldn't hack guitar?"

    I usually reply with "well if you follow that logic, you should have picked up the bass a long time a go". Sometimes I also give them my bass and ask them to hold down a basic 12 bar blues - haven't had anyone take me up on my offer yet.

    Am I crazy to think this is a rip off? (AU)

    The first part of this comment makes no sense at all - I am sure the majority of others in this thread have jobs but still complain about pricing. Also, sometimes it isn't as simple as just maning up and working a **** job! We dont know this guys circumstances. I too am a full time student...

    The Rickenbacker Club! (part 2)

    Is it hard playing a Rickenbacker finger style? I usually anchor my thumb into the top of the pickup on my J-Bass. If the cover is taken of the Rickenbacker can I anchor into the top of the pickup?
