- When your band collectively decides they need a complete direction change every other rehearsal as the previous approach is just not getting the gigs any more! - When the guitard player tells his GF to point her phone camera high to not show the empty floor and lack of audience in front of...

I believe the question that was asked is "how to cut through the mix" not "should you be cutting through the mix". My advice is buy 2 things: (1) A parametric EQ with mid sweep (I use the Presonus unit mentioned by another poster and they are good value). (2) A...

I have tried all sorts of basses over the years and for mine the starting point of any good bass is a good neck. You can change the electronics, body, etc, but not much you can do if the neck doesn't come to the party. I swear by Warmoth necks. They have a great tone, are made out of the finest...

That's not what I'm using it for. My basses all have preamps in them already. I can fine tune levels and settings. The problem is if you are doing slap and finger style playing in the same set, or even song then tone is always a compromise. This lets you quickly and easily toggle between 3...

I'm not sure what boost (if any) the mid position provides, but it sounds like its just flat response. The other two modes will either boost mids or bass/treble. It obviously won't let you fine tune it, but I find it really practical in a live scenario where i can just flick a switch and get a...

Just about any jamiroquai song from the 90s!

Its so good that I have ordered another couple to retrofit a few more from the collection. Its so simple, so cheap and so good!

Bought one of these off the bay: (ARTEC EX3 / ONBOARD ACTIVE GUITAR EQ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390146310589&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_5614wt_1138 Installed it in edition to an active 3B circuit I already had in my jazz bass. It was quite simple to do. You...

Jeff Martin, the Nickleback idiot, Bonjovi, but especially Bono!

Yea... Sorry to be the one to tell you, but if you are there you have hit rock bottom.:smug:

The problem with props is that it becomes a bit of an addiction and before you know it you are wearing a fake Rolex, High Heel shoes, a wig, and you've got a sock shoved down your trousers.

I can understand where is coming from. Playing bass does get you chicks.... Normally the fat, desperate ones IME!
