    Need band video do's and don't's

    Don't make the video go too long, the first 30 seconds is critical, so get coverage with the biggest crowd you can right from the start.. Since you are a tribute band, go into the best parts of the hit tunes like a highlight reel. Have fun, look jammin, play great, and crowd coverage. I also...

    When a band mate suggests getting polo shirts made for the band

    I guess if your band was DEVO or something, you can't really have only 1 guy wearing a red flowerpot on his head. In that scenario, the band has to vote all in for the new uniforms, we are all going to wear red flowerpots on our head from this day forward.

    Phase issues w/ mic placement & DI

    The Headphones help me when moving the mic myself. They are quite revealing when listening for phase issues, in fact I can slowly move the mic further, or closer to the speaker, until it sound "hollow" or weird due to the phase relationship between 2 sources.

    Phase issues w/ mic placement & DI

    Rainier Bass? Ever heard of it?

    My friend gave me this old bass. The neck is fat, the body is plywood, but it plays ok and it works. Is it worth anything? I never heard of this brand Rainier. Pics attached. Thanks.

    Have Fender MIM bodies only been made from alder?

It can be a little tricky to identify from a small sample, as the color is normally a light green, but some poplar is more white in color, and boards are typically streaked with purple and...

    1985-ish Fender Jazz Bass Special Fretless...Strings?

    My fretboard does needs a little sanding down..it's not too bad, but I noticing a few areas a little grooved out. Since this bass is nice, all original, I have scheduled an appointment at my local luthier in a couple weeks to go thru everything. I'm researching gauges now...Thinking medium is...
