    Descending in the modes of the melodic minor scale...

    I know that when you descend in the melodic minor, you drop the 6th and 7th a half step. So lets say that you are playing out of dorian b2. Would you drop the 6th and 5th degrees when descending? Thanks.

    Volume/tone pot problem?

    Hey guys. After playing for a few minutes, my Warwick Thumb gets a fuzzy tone and the volume decreases. I put a brand new battery in it a few days ago so I don't think that could be the problem. It even does it when I switch to the passive setting. What could this be?

    Music as a career

    I want nothing more than to play music and to make a living off of it. Unfortunately, I live in a small area and there aren't any musicians here. The only musician I know is a drummer; but he's moving in a couple of months. When I'm at work or school, I lose focus sometimes, because I'm...

    Cant decide bass or guitar

    On top of playing bass and guitar; you should play piano. I found that once I started playing piano, I became a better bassist.

    Are acoustic basses all that bad?

    I find that there isn't anything wrong with acoustic basses. I actually like the tone that you can get out of them.
