    2 Bands... dilemma

    I also have a similar situation with ex-bandmates. I have moved on to another band since our last one has ended, and im happy with this new band. But every now and again some of the guys from my original band still give me a call to jam or even track some stuff for them. One of the guys in...

    Tech 21 - NYC Boost Chorus Bass

    I just ordered my Tech 21 boost chorus and it's in the mail! really looking forward to hearing this toy.. I'm thinking the detune/multi-voice is what's going to make this thing worth while.. reviews coming soon

    I'm being considered as a session player for a death metal band. Advice?!

    Play with a pick, do a lot of octave work. Its simple and sounds good

    Circle K strings...

    Just to clarify, yes i did use the BEAD strings on my music man and it worked out fine. i don't mind the extra tension on the EAD strings cause i play with a pick and play pretty hard. But this setup isn't working so well with my Epi t-bird. My concern with using the BADG strings is that the B...

    Circle K strings...

    Ok guys, i am very intrigued to find out about these circle K's. i am in a newer band that the guitar players play in the unusual tuning of AGCF. Now i had my Music man sterling 4 stringer setup with a set of Ernie Ball power slinky 5 strings and it plays pretty well just using the bottom 4...

    Cover band or Original?

    To me going through the writing process and finishing a song is much more fulfilling than playing a song that has already been written.. don't get me wrong i like to hear a good cover band, but i like it when the band puts their own twist on it and makes it different.. Lets be real here, the...

    SVT3pro + Sansamp RBI Wiring help...

    I also had the same question when i bought my RBI a few years ago. i just found that going straight from the RBI into the my 2-Pro worked great for me. I also tried running the RBI straight into the power amp section and it just wasn't the same. In my opinion mixing the two together really gives...

    chorus: which one gives the best bang for the buck?

    i've also been in the market for a good bass chorus. i've been really wanting to try out the new Tech-21 boost bass chorus, the videos i have seen make it look really sweet. it has a detune knob along with a depth, rate, level, mix, and tone control. it looks like its pretty versatile, and with...

    Sansamp RBI Joy

    I have been playing my RBI straight into my SVT-2 Pro for a few years now and i am set! It may not be the best way to set it up, but blending the RBI with the SVT-2 pro preamp section gives me a ton of tone control. Plus the 300 watt tube power amp in the 2-Pro is just sick!

    Quarter Pound P bass Pickups

    i had a cheap alvarez that i wanted to get a little more thump out of, so i had bought them pickups. it definitely gave me the thump i was looking for but it still didn't change the sound of my cheap bass.. but if you have a decent bass to put them in you will probably like them, overall it was...
