    Unknown switch

    I have a draconis dual boost, which was made by lizard leg effects, who unfortunatley no longer exist. I have no instructions for the pedal. The switch in the center of the pedal mutes all signal in one position. Does anyone know what this switch is used for?

    Looking for budget 6 with maple fretboard

    Thread title kind of says it all. I'm looking for a 6 string with a maple fretboard for around $500. I'd prefer to have something non-fender like (body shape and pickups) but I'm open to anything. Suggestions?

    Anyone have any info on this Gibson Bass . . and should I buy it :) ?

    4 or 5; Is the B worth it?

    yeah, i definitely play a lot of rock music(which i assume is mostly what you guys are talking about) but i'd also like to get into more technical playing, would it be useful there too? sorry if the question seems stupid. :help:

    4 or 5; Is the B worth it?

    Hey everyone! i've been playing bass for about a year and have recently been interested in extended range. i'd eventually like to play a six, but i think i would learn better if i just start with five. my question is, to those of you who have transitioned completely and those of you who play 4...

    Examples of "playing bass like guitar" or "playing guitar like a bass"
