    suggestions for a wireless system???

    I use this system as well on bigger stages. It works well and the range is fantastic. I can't hear any difference between cable/wireless with the X2

    Switching instruments between songs

    I hadn't seen this mentioned but I use a nice cable that has a built in mute switch. What do the rest of you TB'rs think of this? I also have a floor tuner that I can hit if I'm extra paranoid. So far the cable works really well... I just need to remember to flick the switch again or else there...

    Good strap for heavy bass

    I just have to weigh in. When I purchased my new bass I saw the moody strap hanging on the wall. I asked myself... is it really ok to spend 150 bucks on a strap? I then tried it on and it felt amazing. Sure enough, if you are going to spend the money on a bass you should spring for the strap IMHO.

    Avalon U5

    Wow, I just posted about the u5 in another thread. So far I love mine! I have my bass running into the u5 then to a distressor and out to house. I am now using my own cab just for support on stage. It has really cleaned up the bass sound I think. I'm new at the whole thing so I'm trying to get a...

    Church Bassists: What did you play this Sunday?

    Hey there, Wow, Ive totally had the same experience playing Let God Arise. Our worship band played a rendition of the song and everyone sat there in silence. Personally I can't stand the song, preferring more mid tempo/melancholy songs. It always seems that praise music is so upbeat and...
