    I just don't know what to do anymore.

    Don't text them with a serious issue that you have. Go face to face with them and tell them. This goes a longer way than hiding behind a phone.

    It's too bad Peavey gets ZERO respect.

    I owned a Peavey stack years ago, can't remember the model number but the head ALWAYS overheated, maybe I got a lemon but it always cut out all the time. Had to shut it down to cool off then I had another half hour before it went out again. Like I said, this was in the early 90's and I'm...

    Christmas Gigs?

    You beat me to it! My band covered their version of this years ago. The guitar players did a harmonized guitar solo on this. Great Christmas song to rock out on. My singer said rocking in a winter wonderland instead of walking. I have an old vhs tape of us doing this. I have to dig it up now...

    Summers of Mowing Lawns for a new Bass no longer exist.

    I was going to put a bass in layaway at GC last week. Was very excited, finally getting back into the game. Forgot that we had a big bill due at the end of the month. Wife e-mailed me and said we have so and so much money left for the week. Crushed my Friday, it felt like a Monday. So another...

    What was the first instruments you played? And eventually we played bass.

    I'm sorry if this has been discussed before but here I go. I played a snare drum in junior high, then since I was in the school band I also got to play (gasp) the triangle, crash cymbals, the bass drum then I played trombone for some reason. All me and my buddy did in the practice room was to...

    Originals or covers? What is the scene like now for the younger ones?

    I just posted this to see how everything has changed through the years. I wondered what the scene was like today and my thoughts seem to be right. Back in the late 80's early 90's in my area at least you played originals mostly. We were trying to get signed. The following you had knew your...

    I got jello water in my bass. Help?

    You should have just had a "period" then the "blood" would have dripped down instead of spraying all over your bass. :hiding:

    Can somebody post a link to a your first bass thread?

    I tried to search for it cause I read there's one floating around, but when I try the search function it says using the word bass is just too general and didn't give me any results. I type in your first bass. Can anybody help?

    Most Embarrasing moments/problems/accidents on stage

    Back in the early 90's I was playing in a hair band so you know you have to make a cool entrance. Anyways, we start the intro to the first song of the night offstage, then me and the guitar player come running out from opposite sides of the stage and we are supposed to cross in front of each...

    Getting back into the game, was disappointed with Squire MJB.

    When I played I was a teen and just bought a bass and played it not getting into the technical part of it. Now getting into it again and wanting to learn about different types of wood and strings etc, you are very helpful along with the others that posted. I thank you and this site.

    I can google this but this is where I am new to this again. The one I saw today was an RS600. What is the difference between a 500 and 600? You can throw in a 300 to boot also.
