    Bizznitches is crazy -- what to do?

    Haha, this one made me chukle. It's me and my girlfriend again, although, your drummers' girl takes the cake when it comes to making stuff up. Parents treating her wrongly? Sure. Even sometimes abusive? Sure. Rich dad of her late bff? That is a new one for me. Good one though. I was...

    GK 1001rb amp dead. Any amp tech suggestions

    You gave me a good chuckle there, hehe. I saw myself in your post. I think it's a basist thing? Every guitar player i worked with ran to a tech for EVERYTHING. With some of them I was amazed they dared tuning their own instrument. But nooooo, bass players tend to do **** by themselves. And that...

    GK 1001rb amp dead. Any amp tech suggestions

    Get the amp to an experienced tech if it's not under warranty anymore. I just took my 700rbI and I'm looking at 100eur(130usd); my amp however was in really bad condition. It might be a cheap fix. If you never fixed an amp... well, you just might do more damage to it.

    Ampeg SVT7Pro Quasi-Wattage Ratings Discussion Thread

    I can't get over the fact, that things don't work as we were told they do. Potential is nowhere near the actual performance. TC 450 is louder than what I need, 7Pro is way louder. No wait; way, way louder. This however is not the problem. Imagine buying a brand new tv. The company advertises it...

    Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters

    Never got that kind of a vibe about him. I saw them (well him) at a festival this year. Rain was pouring **** crazy, people were slowly drowning in cold wet crazy weather; when they came up they blew the stage off. At one point, Dave was shredding on his guitar and the wind turned so it rained...

    How to let go, just play and have fun at a gig?

    Ehhe, need to tread softly here. :P Well there actually is no short or only one right answer. For different people different things work. When I first started I noodled through the songs in and out and in and out. A couple of hours on one song, just to realise that the drummer was doing his own...

    Just married, I want a divorce!

    - Tread softly, because you tread on your dreams. I think in any relationship there must be an equal amount of respect and appreciation from both sides. It means that if your wife is shitcrazy about cats or puppies, let her have dozens. It also meas that you should get your stingray if your...

    When you have to fire someone who you suspect will not take it well ....

    As somebody said couple of posts before, sometimes blunt is the best way to be. However, being on the other side sucks anyway you put it. It happened to me about three weeks ago. I played with a band for almost 4 years and during that time I came to think of the band as "my band". I considered...

    GK700rb/210 combo issue. Need advice!

    Well that's my other problem. :) No cash for tech. I'm not goin g to fiddle with it on my own. I have a friend who's adept at electronics. Hopefully he'll be able to diagnose my amp. I just thought I asked if anyone has experienced the same problem. Also: For GK700rb users - is your amp...

    GK700rb/210 combo issue. Need advice!

    Yeah I a/b'd the amps on same speakers and the settings were the same. However I didn't check where the volume defficiency comes from - preamp or power section. It seems rather unusual that I'm halfway through gain on preamp(volume) which is just as loud as if I were going straight into...

    GK700rb/210 combo issue. Need advice!

    I was more or less happy with my rb combo until one day I got to A/B it against another rb head. Well the problem is that my head has considerably less volume. The other head was twice as loud. Sadly I didn't have enough time to really find where the difference was but I think I stumbled upon...

    Which brands will you never play?

    There are brands that don't fit in my hands. They just dont fit. But if I ever find myself in a situation where I can't afford anything else, no matter what the reason is, I'll play whichever instrument I can afford. I play bass for the music, not for the brands.:hiding:

    Ibanez SRX

    Oh, i'd hate to see that. SRX is, IMHO, their best series by far. Had one some years ago. Sold it to buy my Fender. I never looked back and i love my JB. However if i had the dough i'd jump all over srx705. Huge tone, great flexibility. Magnificent playability. Thin, fast neck. Veeeeeeerrrrryyyy...

    The White Stripes Announce Their Break-Up

    Can't say I'm surprised. I also thought they were done. Will miss them though, they're one of my favorite bands. Don't really care about the mistakes they do. They were as much punk as they were blues and the did it with guts and lots of soul. Their concert was one of the best in my life and i...

    GK 700RbI problem, need help!

    Hi! Well, i recently tried to exchange my RbI 210 combo for Fafner. When the other guy plugged the guitar in my RbI it failed completely. Suddenly it was half as loud as it was before and tweeter was not audible. When i brought it back to my place to see what was wrong the tweeter was...

    hartke 3500 parametric equalizer

    I remember that my HA3500 sounded really fat if i boosted the low pass. Also if you only boost the parametric eq it will sound less defined, I suggest you lower everything on the eq... Those hartke heads are really hardworking and nice sounding puppies with loads of posibilities.

    Any heads up for trading in gear at GC?

    Fact is that both of your boxes cost much more than GK Neo. If you'll trade both of them... well you shoud at least get PH212. Even that will be a crappy deal if you ask me.

    Jaco Tribute Bass Build

    Yeah, that was Jaco's practice bass. He explains later in the lesson that he never practiced on fretless because the strings would eat up the fretboard.

    Neck bendage from touching it

    I'll say it's gravity. :) strings have some weight, so if you tilt your bass backwards I think they'd be pulled towards the fretboard... :)

    Blindfold test!!!

    Hmmm, probably... scratched pickguard just over the neck pickup, some belt rash on the back. The s1 switch is also useful here. One broken screw on the bridge/height adjustment screw). yeah, if i searched for it i'd find it. But if you just gave me the bass for like 10 seconds to play with... i...

    Stock Fender bridge VS upgrade bridge??

    I'm currently contemplating on some desicions I'm going to make in the near future, and the bridge on my 2005 Jazz is one of them. I love the feel of the neck, it's straight, robust and soooo comfrotable, I love almost everything about the bass when it comes to playability. I will change the...

    GK 700rbI/210 issues - need help!

    Hi! About a year ago, I bought the 700rbI/210 combo, that came to me without speakers. After that I also got the speakers for it. It was really a "best buy". I paid 150€(200$) for the amp and box and I got 4 10" speakers taken out of the EBS proline 410 box for 100€(130$). I contacted GK tech...

    Bands led by the Bassist

    Haha, schwing!!! I'm not sure about the others, but you can leave RHCP out of this one. I'm pretty confident that Flea isn't the one that runs the band, plus Frusciante is a magnificent musician. What about Pink Floyd? Sure, Gilmour was there, but I think, when it comes to running the...

    5 String Recommendation

    Well, you should be thinking about the sound you're after. If it's Jazz, you'll go with DJ5(I know I would, PLEK is something that Fender doesn't offer) or Fender. If you want Stingray, you'll go with SR5 or Apeiron, the second one is very interesting, read further. If you're in between or...

    Oooh sweet little baby jesus, I came a little when I saw your t-bird. I love basses with a personal note to them. Really sweet looking, with probably most inovative straplocks ever that make it look really "rough love". Fantastic, Im certain you will enjoy those two more than ever before...
