    What did you learn today?

    Fat boys (and girls) playing bass. Interested in weight loss challenge?

    I have lost 10 pounds in one year. I did it by disconnecting, disassociating eating and food with happiness. Happiness must come from things I do. If I'm hungry for a snack it means I'm bored, better activate myself. I drink hot tea often. I skip breakfast and lunch as a way to minimize what I...

    Help me pick a pickguard...

    I traced the cracked pick guard on a sheet of veneer from Home Depot, added a curve to it near the bridge. Painted it, used longer screws. Functions as a thumb rest too. Invalid Link Removed

    players who are ashamed of having "entry level" brand instruments...

    People who complain about what you own are idiots, close minded and fear the process of thinking. Most people do not complain. People are more interested in what you can do with the instrument you own. At least normal decent people. But then there are the idiots. My pawn bass cost $80 and I made...

    Why are there 6ohm cabinets

    Many 8 ohm drivers are 6 ohm DC resistance. They are 8 ohm in a very limited scope of frequency. 20-30 ohm in the midrange.

    Should robots be taxed?

    Taxes are hurting people financially and makes big government bigger. Big government is a cancer. Or, why not have a special tax on electric razors and cameras? The have taken the jobs of barbers of the past and photographers of the past. Stupid.

    Blues sound for my Epiphone Junior guitar...

    I need help. There is one double pack of pickups on my Epiphone Junior guitar, and while I haven't hooked up my new tube head yet to it, because I need to build the cabinet first, I read reviews on the Epiphone Junior, and the weakness is the pickup. The sound is, supposedly, screechy and...

    The basic flaw in the p-bass

    You get more bass and less mids, now accurate mids, if a bigger cap is put in. I upped mine x5.

    Apparent cone buzz?

    Put your hand down, around the cabinet, and see what vibrates. Then some woofer cones vibrate from poor seating in the magnet when the surround was glued to.

    Radio Shack 250 watt PA

    I was driving about in search for more pawn shops when I came across a GoodWill book store, but they had no books on bass guitars. Across the parking lot I saw a Radio Shack and pushed my bad back into the car and drove over there. They had no dedicated bass amps or combos, but a generic 250...

    Building a Cabinet

    Decide on the woofer you want and find out what the recommended closed box volume is for one and and double it, if you are going with two. Closed is easier. A Zobel network will probably improve the sound quality. Check out the 0.75" (?) birch plywood sheets at your Home Depot or where ever you...
