    Picking up Chapman Stick?

    I had a stick forever ago as I liked tapping on the bass. I wasn’t into the left/right hand piano style playing. Created only bass lines. Sold it with the intention of trying a bass stick, but that didn’t happen.....yet?

    Question on BTB 675s

    While looking up pics of the Ibanez BTB 675M I see some have the three way toggle for mid selection and others have a knob in its place. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and are there any other differences between the two 675Ms? Thx.

    Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110...good deal?

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine. I use it for practice or jamming with our guitar player. Would love to use the Direct Out and use at a small gig.

    K12 Ext Sub setting for 2 tops with 1 sub

    Adding first sub to our setup next rehearsal. If I run my cable to sub and up to one K12 top, do I set both K12s to External Sub? I assume yes, since the sub could be fed via an Aux. Thanks for any guidance.

    Bandmix?

    I believe the only difference between free and paid is being able to contact someone through their ad. So I had paid for a month, contacted everyone I was interested in, and did not re-up the following month. I have done that several times. I have had a few contact me...nothing I was...

    Schecter Hellraiser Extreme 5-string

    I found a used one in perfect shape for $500 and jumped on it. It is a very nice bass.

    Practice with a busy schedule

    To practice with limited time I would suggest the following: When away from your bass go through theory in your head when you can. Play right hand bass on the steering wheel to everything on the radio. Set a timer on your phone, literally. If you have 15 minutes, set a 15 minute timer...

    Lavalier mic not loud enough?

    I have been checking reviews on that mic and it seems to be a low mic.

    Advice on external mic for camcorder

    Now comparing Zoom H4n and Tascam D40. And I now get how simple it is to sync the audio/video.

    Why do bass hard shell cases have space for guitar straps?

    I guess it is my straps then. I have a bad shoulder (and back) from Jiu-Jitsu. So I have a wide, padded Levi.

    Why do bass hard shell cases have space for guitar straps?

    I do, because the strap space is too small. But, it is a very tight fit, so I don't do it much. I do that with gig bags with no issue.

    Advice on external mic for camcorder

    Not interested in post editing to sync right now. But, I like the H1 for the camera and on on its own for rehearsals. I also like the input level setting to avoid over modulation. I was wondering if a directional min like the rode would be better, but the H1 seems more versatile.

    Famous people attend your gig

    A thousand years ago I had a gig in the village in NYC. As the band before us ended, Debbie Gibson and some soap opera guy showed up to see them but missed the set. They were friends. So they all hung out at a table and watched our set.

    Advice on external mic for camcorder

    I have a Canon HF S200 camcorder. I am thinking of mounting it and recording gigs of mine for documentation. Any recommendations on an external mic for the audio. I don't want to through the PA or anything. Just a simple setup to have video of gigs with half decent sound.

    Why do bass hard shell cases have space for guitar straps?

    A nice 3 - 5" wide leather strap with padding cannot fit in the narrow spaces for a thin 2" strap, which is all have found inside cases, no?

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    Thanks all. I am not turning it into anything though. I am using this as you suggest. I never saw a balanced input on an amp, just for DI, therefore the thought. Dialing in great tone with the B3 in front again!!!

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    Just thought of this...since the LMT800 has the XLR balanced input, can I go from the XLR out of the B3 into the amp?

    Tribute Band. Am I being unreasonable?

    Your time was wasted so start your own Nirvana tribute. You only need 2 more people.

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    Put the Zoom in front of the amp and I am back in my comfort zone. So thanks. Confused as to the effects loop now. But now I can tweet and do what I need to.

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    Wow. Being fairly new to effects I am surprised. Thought thats what the loops were specifically for. Will adjust.

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    For one project I was using wha, distortion, overdrive, and a pitch shifter. I also started using a synth effect. There are preset patches using several effects that I go through just to get ideas.

    Concentrating on tone rather than playing...

    I did this a few times when I sat down to actually practice. I wasn't chasing tone though, I was figuring out how to simulate Cliff Burton's effects for a Metallica thing I was doing. Once I realized the time I just started playing. But a couple of times I lost all my time to playing with the...

    Effects pedal as pre-amp vs effects loop question.

    I have very recently switched from a Line 6 LD300 watt combo (using a Zoom B3 effects pedal pre-combo) to a Markbass LMT800 / Traveler 102P. The LMT800 has an effects loop. The old way worked for me and I actually had people compliment me about my effects and how I use them. I just got the...

    For Sale Line 6 LowDown LD300 Combo w/ FBV Pedal & Cover (local)

    $350 This Line 6 300 watt 115 combo is awesome for a practice, rehearsal, and gigging amp. I am going in a different direction, so it is time to sell. But, this amp has served me very well and is underrated. It has amp modelling, Drive, 4 band EQ, compression, effects, a 1'8" input jack...

    All my 5s are 35" scale so I have nothing to offer in trade. But if you decide to sell that beauty I am sure it would not be on the block for more than 24 hours.

    Two 2x10 or one 4x10?

    What about a 2X10 and a 2x12? What is the general size/weight difference between those two cabs? I think TC Electronics have them in the same size box.
