In case the drummer normally has good timing but occasionally speeds up I use eye-contact and body gestures to keep synchronized with him. You can see some examples of how we do it in the video I posted to my friend’s blog: Link Removed (time references are noted in the lesson text – bullet No...

I find it most challenging to keep the lock with the drummer and rest of the band when moving to the next part of a song (e.g. from verse to chorus). I recently realized that I use eye-contact and body gestures to keep synchronized. I watched a video recording of our rehearsal and noticed that...

Thanks for the replays! It turned out the empty battery caused the noise after all. It was my first guess too, so I changed it but apparently the one I carried as a backup in the bass case was also empty. After your replays I changed it for a brand new battery just in case and the noise is gone :)

I enjoyed playing at an outdoor gig (bikers weekend) using RH450 and RS210 on Saturday. I connected the fx-out form RH450 to fx-in on the Eden Nemesis RS210 320W combo (4 Ohm, so I had to use the Nemesis's power-amp section via fx connection). I usually use TC RS112 but this time I had some...

I am thinking about upgrading my 5 string Warwick Corvette standard that comes with MEC Dynamic Correction J/J pickups and MEC active 2-band electronics. What I like about it in order of importance is: + the growly Warwick tone, + potentiometers click (you can feel it) when they are in the...

Yes, it does.
