so the other night i had a show to play (second show ever, first paying show) and it was raining the whole night. i had to move my cab in the rain and had nothing to cover it. being an 8x10, they arent the easiest things to move. on the way back in to the practice space, i would say it was in...

im not too skilled with the whole bass making thing. so i am putting together some simple project to kind of get me into it without getting in over my head. i was thinking something like the pic below where its just a body modification and input jack relocation. i plan on maybe buying an...

i currently have my setup like this bass>odb-3>sanamp rbi>berhinger ultrabass(i know, i know)>hartke vx810. whenever i try to turn the knobs up i get this very highpitched squeeking. it doesnt sound like feedback in the sense that it doesnt change if i move around. i dont know what im...

im confused about how much running a pedal before or after another can affect a sound. can someone maybe explain it? also, i am looking into getting some pedals to add to my sound and was wondering if this would be a bad idea bass>odb-3>bass big muff pi(dont have yet)>sansamp rbi. i...

i was looking on GGG and saw some things but then realized i have no experience with a soldering iron or any kind of circuitry for that matter. i was wondering if anyone would be willing to make me a pedal with proper compensation. i was looking for something along the lines of a rat. i love to...

i was wondering how much getting an 8x10 tolexed would run. i hate the carpet covering but can only find where to buy the tolex but no one to put it on for me. i think i would mess it up big time if i were to try it

My band finally agreed to tune up to drop C# from drop A. I argued with them a lot so i was able to use my jazz again haha. i missed her dearly after playing a rogue 5 string... so anyway, i love my jazz was thinking about maybe getting a new bridge or pups but am not sure. i am looking for a...

Sorry for the stupidity of this thread. i am trying to tune my bass to what Between the Buried and Me plays (c# standard i think) i could do it on my 4 string but for some reason i cant get it on my 5 lol. any help?

hi, i am running my rbi through a behringer head (spare me the crap haha) but when try to get loud i get a very high pitch noise. i dont know what im doing wrong

so i just got my sansamp rbi yesterday. i read through the manual quickly, but was anxious to try it out. i originally wanted to use just the rbi alone with the behringer head i have only as only for power. but i cant get the original power i used to be able to get it seems. maybe theres...

ok so the other day, my best friend called me and asked if i could take him to the local jail to get processed. i thought he was joking. but unfortunately, he wasn't (sexual misconduct with someone under 17 :scowl:) anyways, that day was the only day he had to do it. so being the friend i am, i...

i posted my ibanez soundgear on craigslist and some guy responded saying he would trade a peavey renown 400 guitar amp for it. i dont play guitar, so i know nothing about it. i know its an old peavey tho. i am just wondering if i could get more for the bass or the amp? the bass is the soundgear...

so i have plans on getting a home studio set up. i will be recording local bands most likely 5pc. i am unsure of how i want to go about starting. maybe i can get some opinions here. option 1- buying a decent desktop computer (pc) - getting a presonus firepod - getting...

http://bassguitarchords.blogspot.com/ scroll down past the first vid. i thought it was photoshopped at first. is it real?

i have looked through the stickies and havent found any real answers. so first, i am wondering if i have some decent elements to maybe start a little recording studio at home. nothing big but just enough to maybe do a 5 piece band. so far i have a HP laptop (not sure of specs) and a korg d4...

im sorry if this post makes people angry or is in the wrong spot/against the rules. so i finally have some money to spend on upgrading my bass and buying some other stuff (dad finally paid a little child support haha) i have a cheap rogue 5er coming to me to see what the extra string is...

im looking for a luthier in the Upstate NY area. I have plans of either making a bass by myself or having one made for me. someone who doesn't limit the possibilities by only doing certain custom models. i would like to use a design i draw up. preferably someone who has reasonable prices as...

so i need help with picking a design to work with for my first build. i will be adding more as i draw them. any suggestions would be awesome. sorry for the crap pics. the line you see down the side of each one is going to be a groove kind of that acts as a thumb rest. i am pretty set on this...

so i am going to attempt my first bass soon. my friend is good with tools and wood working (he makes canoes) so he will be helping me with the tough stuff. im not sure about string count yet its not going to be more than 5. i havent chosen the wood yet or anything for that matter. here's a quick...

hey everyone, me and my bandmates recently decided to start playing bars and parties. we usually play in a hardcore/death metal band but there is not much money in that. we do it because we love it. but we figured that we want to have fun playing classics and hopefully get paid as well haha...

sorry if this in the wrong section. i was wondering what it took for one to get sponsored by a company? i hear a lot about people becoming endorsing artists but i have often never heard of them. i was just curious of what the requirements were? Thanks

if anyone has seen my most recent thread, i stumbled upon an amazing music shop near where i live. it has a huge variety of new and old amps, basses, cabs, everything. i am 99% sure that i will find "myself" in one of the amps here. but i have a few questions about what i saw the first time i...

so me and my friends go to our local guitar center very often. and being a bass player, im never really happy with their selection of amps. i remembered this music shop close to me that is very popular that i havent gone to in years. the last time i was there, i played guitar. i posted a thread...

so i have kind of narrowed my choices down to 3 but the catch is, it is extremely hard for me to play these because no one around me has one. it between: Aguilar DB 750 Ampeg SVT-2 Ampeg SVT-4 i glanced at an eden head and the markbass classic 300 but something about the rackmountable...

hey everyone, i am getting a sansamp rbi for christmas along with a new bass (nothing special, i just needed a quick 5 string for band purposes. a little mad cuz i have to put my baby, my jazz, down and play a crappy rogue until i can afford a new 5er) anyways, im a little unclear on how to...

sorry for the obnoxious caps lock but its the only way things get seen. my last thread got views but no replies. i just threw a recording on my myspace. It's my first ever recording. I'm looking for some CONSRTUCTIVE critisism. You can be as mean as you want, as long as i get some advice out...

Hey everyone, im not quite sure if this is where im supposed to be but i need some help. I have been playing since late december and i think i have gotten to be ok. by ok i mean i can lock in with a drummer and hold a steady groove. im not being cocky because i know there are many many...
