Hi, guys. I have a Fender Jazz Bass now and I love using a hard pick through a DBX compressor. I recall there are some bass precompression settings posted on here somewhere from an awesome somebody that I used to great effect, but I've moved, and I need to unpack my compressor and reset it...

This. If you read the reviews on MF or GC for the 700rb, you'll see a ton of raves from folks who ditched their defective 800rbs for the 700, and are very happy. Fix the 800 and sell it, if you need to recoup some money.

Am I the only one who thinks there is a good chance xtina did it on purpose? Who was it that said, "There's no such thing as bad publicity?" If she hadn't screwed it up, people wouldn't be talking about her. This is the first time I've heard her name in years.

If it were a eugenics concern, they wouldn't bar him from having sex with men, babies, or little old ladies. I think they really are concerned that it is just as wrong for an adult with the mind of a child to be engaged in sexual relations, as it is for a child to be engaged in sexual relations.

I suggest you consider buying a pocket rockit for bass. It's something you might still use after you get a real bass amp down the road, in part funded by the money you saved by buying a pocket rockit for $40 instead of used bass amp for $100. And your neighbors will thank you. Here's a link...

What does the Q stand for?

That's sad. Maybe you could put that demo online and share her with us.

As a teen about 13 yrs old, I tried to play and dance at the same time. Kicked over my little combo amp.

So tempted to make this my sig.

I don't think it's news that individualized instruction and testing would be better than group instruction and testing, but individual instruction is too costly while human teachers are needed. At some point, maybe we can move to computerized instruction, and allow each child to learn at his or...

Now that I've slept on it, I think maybe I should have said that E minor, G major, A minor, and C major are the keys that, to me, are most worth specifically studying in open position. In addition to that, I suggest just learning one pattern (such as A minor and C major) up the neck and...

Queue White Stripes Tribute Band FTW!!! Sorry, no bass player required.

I get what you're saying. Tunes transposed from E open to A up the neck gain options, while transposing tunes the other way can require using a different fingering than the one learned initially, if the fingering uses positions closer to the nut than the root note. That's something that comes...
