i truly believe the drummer i play with is going to be looked at like neil peart one day. but that beehatch is still getting replaced with a drum machine to save money on gigglebush one day :roflmao:

Prolly just need some "stretch training" as u called it but also be sure to only stretch as much is comfortable. It shouldn't be uncomfortable, and FWIW I'm 3 inches taller than u and I'll still typically kinda move my hand up from moving from 1st to 4th

The Floppotron is the one true funk machine

See this is surprising to hear, because the ones at my GC (Joliet) that I've futzed around with were actually probably better than most of the other stuff normally hanging on the wall.

Aww dude I've seen you guys before! Totally nailed it

So I've been pretty much confined to bedroom playing for the last 4 or 5 months after getting used to playing at least 3 shows a month, with practice at least twice a week. I haven't gotten to play with a group since the spring, and now I'm playing with a fairly popular local group doing...

If you swapped the necks on these two and hit the new one with a nice brown tort I think everyone would win

Ooo I just made one of these threads the other day. Normally, as an outsider looking in, it's pretty easy to tell someone to run for the hills when things aren't good. It's a bit harder to judge when you're involved, usually because you'll have closer relationships with the person/people in...

Thank you all again for your responses. Everyone seems to be saying what I was kinda thinking but didn't want to accept :crying: I'm gonna try to sit down with our drummer a little later tonight and talk about some of this. I know he's as concerned as I am, but I haven't really brought up that...

Thanks for all of your replies so far. The issue with talking to him is that I have. He can be pretty manipulative, and he's really good about coming off as more in control than he is. Knowing that, I'm wary to take all of what he says to heart, but at the same time, I find it hard to just...

Alright everyone, I've been mulling this over for a couple weeks now, and I just honestly don't know what to do, so I've come to you guys. Without getting into the nitty gritty of the details, mostly out of respect to my singer/guitarist (from here on out he'll be addressed as "M"), things...

I played a headliner spot at a decent venue after having ingested a certain fungus (because I am an adult ;-)) and then proceeded to play dead notes for about 30 seconds of our first song. After that I just giggled a lot and probably looked like a fool.

Weirdly enough I was talking to the bassist of a band that's playing with mine in a couple weeks just yesterday about this same debate. Personally, I feel like the pres in the subs are just too hot stock. It may also be my general preference to passive basses, but after playing both of them (and...

Still a newer bass (at least in my possession, only a few months), but I can't imagine I'll ever get rid of this guy right here. Between the beefy neck and how crazy aggressive the tone can get, I haven't found anything else since that can do as much.

Dammit I need to start reading before replying >:-((

I say the real issue here is that it isn't farty enough. We're all super into that GAS thing here aren't we?? ;-)

Scooped this from GC, apparently it was only there for a couple hours. Police hold went through good, now she's mine and I'm in love

So I've been a fairly steady smoker since I was 12 years old (I'm 20 now), so I've got 8 years of sweet, sweet nicotine dependence under my belt. Give me some super rough songs to work on (preferably 4 string, as I don't have a 5) to take my mind off of it, and also just to keep me from being a...

TWINTED WINDOWS LED ZEPPTWIN or you could entirely disregard the twin thing and name the band SLEDGEHAMMER SEWAGE MOUNTAIN and have the kids go doom with it. Like an anti Jackson 5 (probably be better for family relations, too)

Haven't been on in a couple days, thanks for filling in for me :-) but yeah, 12" speaker, weighs about as much as a post holiday dinner dump, but sounds like grandmas dessert. 5/7 would definitely recommend

I honestly love it. I saw a thread at some point in the last couple days mentioning something about finding the rumbles dark. I've been using an L2K through this in my 3 piece originals band, and I get a pretty solid sound, cuts nicely but still has a nice bottom to it. The eq is pretty darn...

It's actually a boot amp. 3 Timberlands in the pre, 2 Uggs in the power. (It's a solid state :-))

I just picked up a Fender Rumble V3 100 and...wow. Loud and light and sounds amazing, no one was exaggerating the coolness of these new Rumbles at all. Anyone else using these guys?? (And I know, no pics no amp, so here ya go :) ).

First song was definitely Six Pack by Black Flag, after that I dived (dove?) into Minor Threat's catalog. Now I listen to a ton of soul, what a sellout :cigar:

Hey folks! I post on the site occasionally, lurk obsessively, and had a buddy point out to me that this would probably be a good idea. ANYWHO I play in a three piece rockroll band, and we recently played our first show (which I personally feel went over quite well), and all three of us are...

I got a new toy today from the pawn shop, she's been beat up a little but she feels like buttah, for $170 I couldn't pass her up. I think she needs a stripper name, any suggestions?

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the feedback, gonna go check it out tomorrow

I've stumbled upon the opportunity to pick up an Acoustic 126 combo with a 15" speaker for $75. Stock and functional, just a lil rough lookin around the edges. After using the almighty power of the search function and Google, I still find myself finding very little about these amps. Does anyone...

See, credit scores are some real phooey in my eyes. I'm only 19, and my credit score is absolutely shot from hospital bills. Maybe it could be a stronger indication of reliability later in life, but as a youngin paying almost $200 a month just for car insurance to drive to a $9/hr job, fixing...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] This is the band I play in! We're called Percy Morgan & The Dixie Riders, we just played our first semi-real gig last night in a lil blues bar where we live, seemed to go over really well. We play some bluesy/funky/rockin stuff, hope you enjoy :)

HAHA it's actually from when Heart did stairway, the camera keeps panning to page and there's a good three seconds where he's grinning like a fool and it's slowly zooming in on its face. Probably my favorite moment on the Internet as of late

Alright, so here's the scoop. I went to a jam session with 30+ people in a tiny basement last night, and got to play a Carlo Robelli bass. This thing felt like a 4 string bag of magic in my hands, and I immediately fell in love. I ended up tracking down the owner, who said he never plays it, and...

In my experience with the band I'm playing with (lots of 420 around), I have learned that there's no real standard behind it. It's entirely seeming to be a matter of moderation and knowing your own limits (YMMV). Obviously no one wants to play with a person too stoned to tie their own shoes, but...

It's for scale! ;)

Yesterday I picked up a Fender Modern Player Jaguar bass for $230, and it's blowing me away. I always played Squier prior to this, and thought that they were the same, but WOW!!! this thing is on a whole new level. It's amazing how much better it feels and sounds, I'm in love. I don't think I...

I just tried my hand at my first refinish, started as a white p bass. Hooray for walmart and their auto section :) i feel like it isn't too bad for a first attempt.

At one point I had a VM Jazz 5 and the neck was the most uncomfortable thing I had ever touched. I initially blamed the jazz size, but I've since realized I'm just not a five string kinda guy haha. It was a nice surprise :)

Can I play??

So this may very well be the coolest thing I've ever scored. Through a friend of a friend, I was given a "for parts" bass, guy said the pickups were shot. He didn't have an amp for me to try to solve the problem, said if I wanted it I could have it. Upon getting it home, I plugged it in without...

I think it is actually. I know that way back in the day I used my buddies DD-6 on his guitar and I loved the super long delay. Figure I could do some ambient stuff with it. To be honest I really like the carbon copy because of the oscillation mayhem it can cause. May sound silly but I think that...
