    Finish on a neck, needed or unneeded?

    Hey everyone. I've recently began sanding down my old guitar to repaint it in an effort to make it playable (I plan to get new pickups, etc. as well). It's all taken apart and I've begun sanding the body. If I sanded the neck, would it need to have any varnish/lacquer applied to it? I was told...

    Amp help?

    Well, I'm getting a half stack soon, and I'm pretty set on the cabinet I want. It's 400 watts RMS at 8 ohms, 4x10. However, I really don't know much of anything concerning electronics and amps, and I'm not quite sure what head to get. I was looking 2 heads. 200 watts at 4 ohms, and 300 watts at...

    Have a problem and don't know if it's the truss rod or bridge?

    well I just picked up this bass that's been at my drummer's house for months. The previous owner obviously did not care about it, as I believe the neck is warped, so I took it home today. However, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the truss rod, bridge, or nut, as I've heard all 3 can be the...

    am i the only person with this technique?

    Actually I have done this before, but i found it to be a little uncomfortable, and I'm able to keep up with my fingers in my band. But I did think about getting another finger pick for my pinky to make 4 finger plucking easier. Haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it'll work out.

Actually, I don't have ANY.. but when I find out what system he has maybe I can show you the system and the cabinet i'm looking at and you can tell me if it would work? and how I would go about doing it?

    Cabinet + PA System?

    Well it's a pretty new system and our vocalist's first. On top of that we're not the oldest guys (still in highschool) so we don't know much on the subject. I asked him but he didn't know whether or not we could do this.

    Cabinet + PA System?

    Hey guys, I'm new here if you haven't noticed.. but to get to the point, I'm looking for an amp for my band practice since the one at the drummer's house was taken back by the old bassist. I'm stuck with my Acoustic B10.. As you can imagine, it's not really working out with the drums and 2...
