    Avatar Owners Club Pt. 2

    I got the G12h30s, four of them. People suggest the hellatones but I just like buying 'new' things. The head for it should arrive wednesday (Carvin VT50) but tonight I'm borrowing my dad's Epi Valve Jr 5 watt head to test out. :hyper:

    Avatar Owners Club Pt. 2

    Thought I already had a number... maybe not... but anyways, my guitar 4x12 came in today. Burgundy tolex, oxblood w/gold grill, and gold piping. Not a bass cab but I thought you guys might want to see this lovely combination.

    Avatar Owners Club Pt. 2

    Finally uploading a picture of the green tolex 4x10 I ordered earlier this year. Can't wait to get another one to match it... would also be neat to build a tube amp for it, with matching depth/width dimensions/tolex/locking corners.

    What's Your Favorite Incubus Song?

    I love "just a phase" because that song nearly single-handedly developed my vocal vibrato. Thank you brandon boyd for being the great vocalist you are.

    Can I get a review of the new single?

    Wow dude, you are ON to something here. This reminds me of some mid/late 90's alternative. I really like it, and it's very catchy. The chord changes are nice and somewhat exotic without being too out there. Your voice sounds great with the music. I didn't notice anything that stuck out as far as...

    Shades of Gray - Fly Like an Eagle (live cover)

    Hi, I've been playing bass with a serious mindset for about a year and a half. Had one since 7th grade but only learned to play the three notes of Back in Black and the riff of Seven Nation Army among other scattered fragments of songs. I am currently in the band Shades of Gray, which is my...

    Recording Is GRUELING!!!

    I enjoy working on music greatly... I love it. It's everything I want to do, it's like having sex with my equipment and making babies. I say this having finished just one song, but we'll see if I still love it after several more... probably will!

    SX (Essex) Jazz Bass: Stock vs. Upgrade SOUNDCLIPS

    After the upgrade, the lowest notes sound much richer and smoother. Either sounds great, regardless. I might have to get one of these basses!

    New band, new song...

    I find it hard to grasp the change up with the bass and drums... I do like the guitar effects though. Either the flange or the phase or whatever it is makes it sound a little too muffled. Could you keep the processed sound without it becoming masked-sounding?

    Pokemon Megathread

    I grew up with Blue version and the cards and all that jazz, played through up until Pearl and didn't get too far into it (was losing interest in video games right around then) but I will tell you, Pokemon Trozei for the DS is one of the most riveting puzzle games I've ever played next to...

    check out my new band!

    This could be pretty good if you found a good vocalist! On Untitled 1, I don't feel like the 'answer' in the chorus sounds quite right. Let's say the chorus has it's eight measures, ABABABAB. the B part is alright in itself, but I would devise a C and a D... ABACABAD.

    Hardcore/Screamo/Post-Hardcore Bassists

    I'm ineterested as well - can anyone please offer some specific songs with notable bass lines instead of only artist names? Thank you!

    Does anybody *not* have an awesome rig?

    I've been using a Fender Rumble 100 for a while now. Haven't needed more until now, and I'm quickly building up some cash reserves for an Avatar 410 cab and an undecided amplifier (most likely a Gallien-Krueger, but we'll see.) Really though, kudos to anyone and everyone with determination...

    New Avatar Style

    I am planning on getting a b410 NEO soon, so the whole "$100 more" comment scared me until I looked at the site. :p I prefer the look and durability of a metal grill.
