    Les Claypool

    Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I'm in the dark with most newer artists after the turn of the century, but I'm slowly catching up. I recently heard this on Pandora, and I've probably listened to it a dozen times since. I was vaguely aware of Primus, but never really listened to them. Les...

    Bass Amp Placed Next to a Router and Modem

    Thanks T_Bone. Lots to work with there. And, no, the refrigerator is not in a direct path to the router, just beside it on the other side of a wall. I guess I am to assume the bass combo amp located close to the modem/router is not an issue. We will order the Roku Streaming Stick Plus.

    Bass Amp Placed Next to a Router and Modem

    We put a new smart TV in a studio built onto the back of our garage separate from our house. The old TV was not smart and required a Roku streaming stick. I'm guessing the new TV is close to 100 feet from the router and modem. We use a Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 modem (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz...

    Bass Amp Placed Next to a Router and Modem

    Does anyone know if a bass amp can interfere with the wifi signal from a router and modem if they are placed close to the amp/speakers?

    Like kissing your sister. (Not yours, specifically, but you know what I mean.)

    Underrated and/or cult movies that you really like

    Don't know if this movie has been mentioned, but I thought the movie, Special, was very good.

    Let’s talk coffee

    Haven't read all of these posts, so forgive me if this is repetitious. Our daughter went to school in New Orleans, and during out many visits, we stumbled across Community Coffee with Chicory. We've been drinking it for probably ten years now, and we've tried bunches of other brands, including...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I've got an opportunity to buy a mint condition, barely used, "first series" Rumble 150 combo for $250. How good a deal is that?

    When practising scales, etc. what exactly should I be concentrating on?

    I don't have time to read this whole thread, so I'll just answer it in the way I would recommend. I think a lot depends on whether you want to be a bass player or a musician. I agree that knowing the 1-3-5-7 are fundamentally important to being a bass player. Play them up and down the neck in...

    How important is it for me to use my pinky on the 4th fret?

    Develop good habits early.

    Serendipity

    Also, I'm a jazz and fusion fan. Weather Report is my favorite band, and Jaco my favorite bass player. I'm not even suggesting that I can touch his talent, but as for being a "lead bass" player, he prolly defines the term. I think the genre you're in, what you're saying on your instrument and...

    Serendipity

    Yeah, words to live by, thanks. I've never played bass with others... only along with CDs. I'm getting ready to record some songs, and I'll lay down a couple of bass tracks for each song. Hopefully, I'll learn a lot from doing this.
