    Yorkville BM400 opinions?

    I'm picking the Yorkville BM400 combo up from a friend. I was playing around with it a bit last night but couldn't crank it up. I liked the tone I was hearing with my Mexican p bass special. Anyone play this amp before? Thoughts & comments?

    Best Audio Interfaces for a Mac?

    Motu 828MKII here. I think I paid 6 for it. It's only got two pre's but 10 total inputs. That and if you need to expand you can buy another one and chain them together with a firewire connection. I also run a mackie board for the pre-amps. Good combination.

    You probably have to wait towards the end of the college year when all the UMD students are running out of cash and need beer money.

    Is it possible for a band to record an album in 2 hours?

    Hmmmm. A friend's band came down from Baltimore to record with me. It was probably 14 hours over 3 days to get 5 complete songs and some of them weren't even tight. The only way you could do 8 in 2 hours is live recording.

    fretting with pinky

    If you're just building up strength and accuracy and not working on speed, it can be just as easy as picking any spot on the E string and playing the four consecutive frets with each finger. I = index M = middle R = ring P = pinky 1 2 3 4 I M R P Then move up the the next string...

    How experienced are you - Best Techniques?

    How experienced are you at playing the bass. Not how long have you played, but do you consider yourself a beginner? A pro? Do you know all your scales and keys so you can play to anything with anyone or do you just know how to play by ear and put together what sounds good? Also, what's you...

    Atomic Music in college park is a nice place too. They just deal in used equipment, but they normally have a fairly large stock.

    Music is declining

    This generation is no different from previous ones. I mean look at the 90's; there were so many craptastic one hit wonders that no one will ever remember and everyone will profess that there wasn't bad music from the 90's. 80's, and 70's too. For every Led Zepplin, Iron Maiden, Alice in Chains...
