Try trimming your nails and then giving them a once over with an emoryboard, concentrating on the corners of the nail. It worked for Jaco. I try to keep one in my gear bag at all times.

We play a "little of the old and a little of the new" in our church. I am blessed enough to be part of a church that is willing to try some things that are "outside the box" to try and reach as many people as we can. My pastor and the leadership are worried about impacting lives instead of...

Thanks for your comment. With guitar I was a kind of purest and I've always been one to say that most of your tone is in your hands. But I can't understand how you can produce that bowel shaking bottom without the right equipment. That compression pedal has gotten me closer to getting it than...

Jesus not only saved my soul, He saved my life as well. I'll take any chance I get to tell someone about Him. I don't just hope that He's real, I know He is. Blessings, Cxxxx

Ok, let me see if I can explain this the way I understand it. I play bass in with my church's praise team and this is how I've come to think about it. To begin with praise is the only thing that you can give to God that He didn't give you first. It's your choice to either do it or not but, even...

Noob question no. 1 After almost 20 years as a lead guitar player I took a bass gig last April. The strangest thing has happened in the 10 months. I fell head over hills in love with 4 strings but my knowledge of effects is sorely lacking on bass. I recently bought an Acoustic B200h head along...

Mine is very heavy too JBG but, I also play a Thunderbird so I'm used to heavy. The funny thing to me about the "light verses heavy" debate is that most of the folks I knew when I started playing guitar advised me to try out several of the models I was interested in. Then they said, try to buy...

I agree rickster. I have a 2010 natural and after playing 20 years (15 as a guitarist) I have to say that I've never played another instrument that seemed to be more of an extension of my personality as this bass. I was a little skeptical about the Squire brand to begin with. Back before I could...

Southern rock guys never get their due IMHO. Leon Wilkeson from Skynyrd is a great player as well but, outside of TB he almost never gets mentioned. ABB were well ahead of their time. A rock band that could swing like the jazz cats, or rock with the best of them, with a little Country (Dickey...

For anyone who may be thinking about this thing, I bought one about two months ago to replace a Korg px5d. This has quickly become my go to practice tool. It'll do everything the manual(PDF version available online) says it will do and a whole lot more. Right now I'm using it as an effects unit...

Somebody needs to grab this thing at this price. Don't let the size or price point fool you, these are killer little amps. The only reason I hadn't bought is, I just bought a back up for mine last week.

My Fretless is called "Coltrane." My Ibanez Four String is called "Miles."
